MUS1CAI, ltECITAt.
The musical recital Friday even-
ing ut the University, the opening
night of the week's commence-
ment, was a very enjoyable allair
and fully demonstrated the abso
lute thoroughness and correct
methods epn ployed by the teachers
employed in this department. A
large crowd was present and each
number was given the most careful
attention.
Tli" program was varied in style
and composition and gave scope
and opportunity to the talent of
each pupil, and the selections many
of which were full of technical diffi-
culties were rendered in so faultless
a manner as to merit the highest
praise and would have rellected
credit upon pupil many years older,
and who had spent years in prac-
tice and study.
The programme was arranged as
follows:
Old Hundred,
Wii.i.ie Dunn.
My Utile Sweetheart,
Minnie Cohn-
Selections from Sonambula,
Edith Hayden.
l'olacca Brilliante,
Gertie Van Winter.
The Shepherd Boy,
Alice Boyij.
On Venice Waters,
Mamie Ha-chakt.
Symphony Op '21,
Miss Jones and Mr. Dunn.
Violin Solo,
Harry Tate.
The Whirlwind,
Myrtie Smith,
Those Convent Bells,
Misses Williams.

Ethel Bukeinuton.
The New Kingdom,
Maud Wingatk.
Mandolin ljuartette,

Some of the telegraphic war news
in regard to the Spanish admiral is
amusing. Summed up, it runs this
way:
''Battled him."
"Throttled him."
"Rammed him.

"Teetotally damned him."
"By is'a'id or cape
He can never escape."
"W e've got him^

"We're certain to spot him.
"Whole fleet is around him."
"Confound him! Confound him!

One day last week the Purcell
ball team came up and badly de-
leate.l the University boyr. 1 he
two teams mel on the University
campus again yesterday and the
University boys were victorious.
Rain stopped the game at the end
of the seventh when the score stood
7 to a. 'Twas a lively skirmish
from the first inning. The heavy
batteries of Norman were brought
to bear upon the armor clads ol
Purcell, and during a storm of shot
and shell the University boys piled
up live runs. Harrington led the
batting through the game and suc-
ceeded in making two two-base hits
which brought in scores each time.
Purcell will have to farm out a few
of their players and enlist more
