The last issue of the Journal was rendered memorable by a synopsis of the lectures delivered at Cedar Junction this winter by University students, together with discriptions of the lecturers. W. W.

Ladies and Gent's fine hand Satchels and traveling Bags at Abe Levy's, the most complete line in the city. ATHLETIC COLUMN. EDITOR, R. R. WHITMAN. EDITOR, R. K. WHITMAN. Schmelzer, the Kansas City deal er in sporting goods, is to get out a new racket this spring, on the plan of Wright & Ditson's "Sear's special. Schmelzer thinks that the racket will be fully equal to the above and will not cost much more than half. It has long seemed to us that rackets were unnecessarily high and if Schmelzer succeeds in his project our tennis players will be grateful. The play to be given by the Athletic board is inactive rehearsal. The play is a four act farce comedy by Labyiche, one of the best of the modern French dramatists. The play has been localized and as presented by a first rate caste will no doubt make a hit. It is probable that a orchestra composed of K. S! U. musical talent will be organized for the occasion. The ball ground has been graded and fenced and is now in good condition. S. T. Field has sent East to see if it is possible to obtain ball or tennis caps in University colors. If the caps can be secured a number will be ordered immediately. The ball nine at present has no games arranged with clubs out side the city. Manager Armstrong informs us that he has been waiting to see what would be done by the State league before writing to the other colleges. It is to be hoped that some games will be arranged for soon, the nine can work with much more enthusiasm if it be certain that it is to play some good clubs this spring. Yale has so far arranged for thirty-three ball games for its team Some time since the Secretary of the Athletic Board wrote to the State of Missouri to see if some athletic contests could be arranged for. A negative reply has been received. No athletic organization is maintained in that college and they were in no shape to compete. THE Chaddock, which is a pretty good paper taken altogether, has a most silly and aimless article in its last issue on "Africa," written evidently by some one who wanted to fill up some space. We fail to see the object in any college paper of publishing such a lot of milk-and-water stuff. The article in the same issue on "A Visit to Mount Vernon," is excellent and well written.
