THE MINIM:S 1;eturn helJ,r~y thanks to Mr. Sween­ey, ex~aldermrtii ofChicago, for the handsome way in which .he en'counl.g~d their sports on Field Day. Here­mah1s tbeir warm frieilcl.

· "BOYS'," SAY~: G:Ov. OGLESBY; '''I know that . t•~·l ' . .

when the glad SUD of 6ur' lovely autUllin or Olir beauti-ful spi·ing shiries so invitingly ·on your play grounds, it is very hai·tt tb reniain sitting· on a h~rd bench. Oh! how you' db itch to g~t out and play in the ; un! But, boys, study_ on, you'll' have jJlent~ 'of time to sun yourselves!

' * : '* *

THR JOYOUS ECII,OES of tit. Viateur's Day are only DO'f (lying· aV~;ay iJ,l ~:iur grov.e so lately all astir wit~ fe~tivity. T~e pdze games hav~ all been played, save ,Bei·h;:tP?. the "high . kick," (McCauliffe's forts) and novr .we .aga,in.,rt)tur:pto our mo~:e sobe_r and salu:;ri0us every7day fjlre., .Qqr every -day . books, and every- clay games.

* '·i· ; ' * • FIVE O'CLOCK STUDY COMMENCES. What have we to do? .... First, not to grumble; then establish

- a closer acquaintance with our text books, employ

advantageously this additional hour i11 reading or again, in diligently preparing the essays, speeches, etc. for the societies which will now begin their regular work. Our play hours are shortened, 'tis true; let us, then, play more intensely an<:l be indemnified.

* * _,. THE COMPLIM:ENTi:J so abundantly bestowed by our R~v. visitors on the late performance of our dramatists are assuredly most encouraging and, it is to be hoped, will be the spring of still more praiseworthy efforts in the future. The year is young and we are but commen­cing. Our weekly practices in elocution and music ought to en-able us to offer peyformances yet more perfect and relishable in the COUl:se of the year.

* * * "PRL~CE ARTHUR," the drama so succei<fa lly ren-dered by our amateurs On St. Viateur's Day, is a recent translation from the French, by Rev. E. L. Rivard C. S. V. The scarcity of anything new in the line of college plays suggested the idea of this translation which, though it was done somewhat hurriedly, is nevertheless pronounced a very creditable version.

* * * THE AUTUMN WOODS are more than inviting, they are tempting and that, too, for all; for the poetic, the idler, the squirrel hunter, or the nutting party. The poet hears nature's sighs: these fitful gusts of winds driving about and scattering everywhere the fallen leaves. These glorious hues too; which the woods seem to have stolen from the grandest sunset, arrest the attention of those whg have come to admiru. Those intent on game see it in £ris!I:y profusion everywhere and fa1l not of course to fill their pouches well. The scene is magnificent-th_esport, grand.

* * * THE LITERARY and debating societies, as is Cl;IS-

tomary after St. Viateur's Day, resume their work this week. The JouRNAL extends its warmest congratulations to these prai1Seworthy associations on the occasion of their reorganizing and wishes them all the success they deserve. St. Thomas' literary an<l theological associa­tion and St. Patrick's literary and debating society meet on Wednesday evening. The JouRNAL hopes to be favored with interesting reports of society doings.

SHAKSPEARE'S GRAVE.

Sleep calmly, Shalrspeare, by the Avon's wave;

No band profane will dare disturb thy rest,

Great chi ld of Nature in thy peacefu l grave

Sleep calm as babe upon a mother's breast,

For Natme was thy mother; bride and all;

Her works are round thee, and bet• lo.Ye doth sm ile

Upon thy grave when Autumn's sere leaves fall, '·

As when gay Spring befiowers Albion's isk

And when the hlasts of Winter ru<1cly blow

A requiem wild they 'll sadly cllant o'er thee;

Then neath a stainless shroud of purest snow

Thou'lt rest sweet Sllakspeare calm and peacefully,

Far from the cities, the daily strife,

Thou'dst have thy simple grave apart, unknown.­

'Tis not unknown- but peerless age in life

In death 'tis meet thou still should'st be alone,

How on fair A von, singing· as you flow

Yom liquid music dwelt in Shakspeare's song,

His form was mirrored in your depths below

As ages since he sailed your waves along.

Join! Join ! ye woodlands in a hymn of praise;

His name shall live while Nature draws a breath

Though small the number of his earthly days,

H1s God- like genius ne'er can taste of Death.

INFLUENCES.-MUDDY DAYS.

Nature, like man, is changeful in its moods. The young year, escap ing from the cold and forbidding em­brace of winter, clothing itst>lf in new verdure and pour­ing forth a song of joy ; just as the caged bird, breaking its bonds, warbles its sweete~t notes and fli es from tree to tree, and limb to limb in testimony of its happiness; or as the happy and thoughtless lad, who has escaped the argus eye and exacting restraint of the severe matrons spor.ts upon the grass, run~ restlessly from place to place; now rolling his hoop, and now flyin t his kite, or wanders singing through the forest. Like him she is . at one time all smiles and at another frowns rlarken her

Nor does tbe re­sembiance cease as her age ripens .and matures; for ,the summer with its flowers and aboundi,ng fields of grain,

' and autumn with its plenteo us hai·vest and the leaves of the for(3st (yellowed by age) falling ~elpless t? !he earth, best striking likeness to man the one in his strength and the other in his decline. But of all the sea­sons, the spring with its sunshine and clouds, its calms. and storms, best portrays, and seems even to affect, the varied dispositions of men. Then, when the sky is cloud­less and t be sun sends down its warm ra:Js, the fanner rej oices at the :;ight of budding g1~ain; prophetic of ri~h harvest; .the denizens of the crowded city, shut up till now within closed doors and breathing suffocating odors, now doff his burdensome attire, his fllrs and wraps, anfl in long rides and pleasant walks amidst their city parks or in boating or fishing or excursions anfl pic-nics fills out the joyous day. Then youth, and even maturer age, builds its airy castles, then peace anfl friendship reign, affection proves its depth in kindly action, lovers wander in lonely rambles, hope spreads its bright wings, charity extends its plenteous hands, homes are cheerful, and poverty looks forwarrl to the future with firmer confidence. Bi:tt when tLte sun hides its cheering face and somber clouds, pregnant of the coming storm, ob.;cure the heav ens, bow ch:mged the scene; Gloom now broods over all. Then . the child in its mother's arms sends Jorth its schrillest note, melancholy assumes a deeper tint, lovers quarrel, envy gnaws t l:e heart more fi ercely, jealousy grows more suspicious, poverty's countenance is overcast with increased sad­ness, dark conspiracy hatches its perfidious plots, mld crime stalks forth at Hight from ·its place of concealment ben t upon deeds of violence. When the clcmds burot and thirsting earth has lapped up the welcome shower; when the roads have become impassable and the side­walks deserted, business is stagnant, the spirit of the merchant is depressed, social intercourse is inte.rrupted, si lence reigns around the hearth, old age pods heavilY, in. its chair, the children group themselves sadly and silen­tly in t he furthest comers and the housewife frowning pursues her accustomed duties. Woe now to the unlucky urchin who comes across her path, and woe to him, who, with boots all covered and dripping with mud, now tramps in upon the well scrubbed floor; No gentle rebuke, as is her custom, now greets his ears, but sharp words and angry looks. Yet who can blame her? The weather has changed her thus. Oh gloomy d~tys and muddy roads for how many evils are. you not accounta­ble. Yet it has played an important in the world's his-

A GLANCE AT "LUCILLK"

Of this work as of "(ilenaveril," it may be said i t is uot a metrica l noveL Jt ha s not the intricacy of plan which belongs to a novel, is wanting in the interest aron!'ed by plot countennining plot, is sheared of the diversity of characters, some witty, some wise, some learn ed, some amiable dolts, whi c.:h fit in so snugly in a novel; it is not by any me:tns so rich in adventnre, nor _calls so much upon the inventive power of "the au­thor to picture to the reader scenes of beauty .

On the contrary, it maybe said of Lucille, as Jeffrey said_ of " Marmion;" " tpere is scarcely matter enough in the main ~tory for a ballad of ordinary dimentions." ''MB~rmion" was styled by its anthor "A ta-le of Flodden 'FieJd :'' the same name very fitly applies to "Lucille"

TEe story lends itself to the themes and develop­ments which are proper to poetry, but would have been insufficient a.nd in the other ways unfit for a no­vel.

The reader who' takes up •the book expecting to be tickled by a newness of style· enters upon an empty task; th e author fo llows the beaten path marked out by the footprints of others : all that is original in the work are the ideas of the au thor, ideas drawn from ob­servation and reflection. Without these you may have metre, but not poetry: we may ha ve the jingle of rhyme, but not tile true ring of sense. E.very and any one of mediocre ab ility can counterfeit power by the _garb in which he dresses his w'ords, but from genius alone do we get its tr.ue tone. Beauty of expression is not to be contemned, but 1.his cannot supply for the dearth of thought, for in all our reading it is truth, not words ofwhich the mind is in quest.

The plot of the story as has been said is very simple: two men of the highest walks of life, the one an E~­g lisbman, poetic and irresolute; the other French and ilp­pulsi ve: a woman of genius with whom these are enam­oured; two towns, one Serchon, a little village in France, the otbtlr a resort of fashion where devotees of pleasure recuperate their wasted energies by late hours and excit­ment of the gaming ta ble : those comprise all its materi­aL Yet in the hands of power such as Lytton's, the story gives sufficient compass to inculcate much observation of the forces by which men are governed ; to give us mH.~Y a glim pse at the beauties of nature ; and to warn th£ reader of the roeks which may make shipwreck of life.

The characters depicted in novel'l are represented as formed a.11d set in motion by the occurences of life, or by hereditary disposition , or by both combined. Our author would have the reader infer that the combination of these was the moulder and motor of those whom he brings before the curtain of the public.

The story 'wgins with a letter from the heroine Lucille, to Lord Alfred Vargrave demanuing a package of letters. Lord A lfred , a butterfly of fashion, everywhere seek­ing pleasnre and ever discontended with the sweet suck­ed from its bowers, meets Lucille and, partly to drive away the ''ennui" oppressing him, partly to satisfy his vanity and partly also urged on by love's flame, lays seige to her affection. She, a child, clothed in a wo­man's form, smiling when the sun smiles and frowning when be frowns, incapable as yet to fatho~ the character of men or the nature of her own soul, knowing only

Recognizing her dilemmn, Lucille resolves on flight, retires to a small cottage in the m ountain, and send. a letter to Eugene to meet l1er thE're in order to receive her finn\ answer.

for his wrecked hopes and empLy life, but le~tves ber presence with a clearer notion of life's value and a determination to take it up anew in a oitlerent path.

Lucille is once more lost to view. Eugene returns to France, and Alfred to England.

For two decades the players are lost to sight and then come .again before the curtain. The environs of Sebas­topol is the scene of action. A soldier lies wounded in an hospitn,] tent-it is Alfred's son: a sister of charity waits-at his bedside, it is Lucille : >"l.nc', clothed in the uni­form of a general, we discover our old friend Eugene, Lucille nurses the wo undE;)d soldier to convalescence, observes yet that some se-cret sorrow weighs on the heart of her patient, persuades him to make her his confident. It is tbe same old story ofCupicl's fiery darts. He hn<l met Constance, the niece of Eugene at Pari~> and fell a victim to her charms. Eugene, absent in Algerin. at the t1me, is made acquainted with the condition of affairs and orders Constance to retire from P .. ris and break o-ff her intercourse with the son of Alfred. ::>he obey~, and Alfrecl's son set:ks death on tbe fieltls of lnkirmon.

Samr Seraphine (Lncille) Sl:lek>l the teat of Eugene disdoses hcl' mission to him , nnd Eugene after a bitter contwt with himself, conquers his vengefu l thoughts, visits the tcut of the sick solrl ier in the company ot Srenr Sern.phine, an~1 sends the li fe -blood tingling again tln·ongh Lhe heart of the boy by his words of hope. The curtain <h-ops, with Eugene and Sreur Seraphine gazing upon the selting sun.

•·All pnrp:e and gold save one fn.ding strip Of lighi' that yet gleamed from the dark nether li p, Of a long reef of cloud; and o'er sullen ravines, An<l ri<lges the raw damps were hanging white screen~, Of mcl::tnchaly mist." So ends the tale. O'B.

OUT OF FERRIE'S DIARY.

SUNDAY.

.frlorning.-Tbe stars had c•ne by one dis~ppearecl an<1 the beraJds of the great king of the day were just cast­ing a rich crimson glow over the dark blue background of heaven, when lol the bell (not a ebestnut one that !) warned us we must be out of bed in the shortest time possible. So sitting up and rubbing my eyes to make sure I was nwake, (the usual dose of water not having been administered) I glanced around aml saw that both tbe outside view from my window and the bright faces around me-a sure sign- promi$ed a delightful day. I got up with a light heart nnd also donned my best.

Hearing mass, study ing, walking, playing quoits and other gawcs made the forenoon pass quickly and pleas-

antly by; and in the afternoon I weut with the crowd to the w<Dods.

How peasant, grand, and solemn are the woods in autumnl~ i'he birds and insects which were so gleefu! iu spring that they ~a.ug and chirped incessantly have disappe, · ·ed, and all is hushed, save the mourning bree­zes ::mel the rustling of fallen leave~. P oor leaves! llow they float resistless, noiselessly to the earth, as Thom­son sayH:

''- For now the leaf Incess:Lnt rustles from the mournful grove, Oft startling such as studious walk below, And slowly circles through the waving air. But should a quicker breeze amid the boughs, Sob, o'er the sky the leafy deluge streams;- "

In om woods yon see tllem everywhere ly ing in gre::tt decaying heaps. The trees to withstand the rough blasts and :Lro~ts of "aCI·is biems" put forth thicker baric Evening.' Night finds me too tired from my trip to write anything more, so I will pnt my diary aside t ill the morrow yet. unborn.

MONDAY.

The weather could scarcely be more delightfu l! What a pity any one should be obliged to r emain inside and pore over books that are both dry and uniltteresting on such a day as this! Well such is life at college and I suppose it must be borne without grumbling- vVhy! a1ter all, are we not really fortunate to JJe here, here an•l now? iYhy make ourselves miserable by imagin­ing we are so. And if we aTe-misery loves company they say, and we have it here. Let us make the most of our college days, ns we are indeed so often told, so thn.t we may enjoy the future when they are past.

Evening again and I must not forget my diary. One of my professors kindly told me I promised a "copia dicendi ... . " If I do it is of no use to me now for I cannot think of a thing on which to feed my pen . My supply is exhaustecl. Good night.

TUESDAY.

Outside, the view is a gloomy one and old sol doesn't seem to better it much. iVhat an influence the weather bas on any one's spirits! ... A .study ball wherein a hundred and fifty boys are seated, is a good field of observation. Although their study may be occupying most of their time yet it is p lain that they (myself not au exception) have one eye on the weather which bids fair to destroy prospects for the afternoon's enjoyments. The depression i.:l universal and I think I bad better close ere I cast a gloom over my diary also.

Evem'ng. The sun clearud the mists at noon and the afternoon was a bright and enjoyable one. On account of the absence of Rev. Fr. Dooling we did not go to the woods, yet we enjoyed ourselves hugely on the home grounds and the arrival of Fr. Dooling just as the sun

I had them all morning, for I was expect­ing a leLte;>r from home to-day, and it did not come ­I was blu e from tip to toe; but hanging· on the small notty hickory limbs by one hauo and one foot, . the other foot dangling in mid air and picking nuts w1th the free hand caused 111e to forget my troubles and to pass an agreeable aft'.emoon.

EXCHANGES.

After a long absence the St. Ma1·y's Sentinel returns­we salute him. We find much readable matter in it besides "Rakings."The 2nd. negative on" HastheAugus­t ·l. a·'l.s~ of American literature arrived" shows a careful student, prudent thinker and a fair writer. He first shows the conditions of a liter>:~ry age as one of superior productions, superior geniuses, of great Universities, of criticism coming from reviews which then every where spring up and implant in the people a desire to read these works. The passion for literary pursuits thus awakened, everybody reads what great writers pen. Then he adds: "But ·so long as our poets and dramatists rise and disappear known only to those who have had the advantage of the school room; as long as our Universities remain in obscurity, and our reviews remain unprinted and unthought of we have no claim and do not wish a claim to literary age ... . Where are our literary papers? Like many other things, they are yet to be. Such fourth class ones as we have are hardly read .. . . Otu· noble poets . .. . the people ignore them. The age then is not a literary one." We are a reading pflople of course; but we read the daily newspaper, the light novel, or magazine. '!'he utilltarian ideas so characteristic of our people rather lead to more practi­cal walks, not so much to the milky ways of letters .. ... In the essay on Scott beginning with ·'No man in whole rec~rcl etc.," a "perhaps" would fi t well. The sentence "Having said so much about the ancestry etc., let us turn to himself"being clumsy, should have been omitted. Sentinel, let us by.

ST. VIATEUR'S DAY OF 'SG.

Amicl the desert sn,ncls of a. college course Pro vidence h::tth lovingly scattered refreshing ·oases at which the scholarly wayfarer mn,y a t least be recalled tt1e green lawus and cool.shades of his own clear home. One of these we, "'riatores' ' have just passecl, and glat11y clo we · inscribe in thi s J ourtNAL, chronicle of feats greilt and small, this our late most h>~.ppy fet e>

The story then, runneth thus : Wednesday the 20th, • the eve of the 21st. was dnll, clrippi11g, chill y, nncl gloomy as alone a gray n.utnmn clay wi'th sighing will(1, and mists, am1 fogs can be. Consequently the spirits of onr· clrn,matists who were prepared to "show forth'' in the -ever:.i ng suffered a consiclemble depression .... Jupiter, he of th e torked lightening, perhaps nlarmecl at their displeasure, al lowed the sun to ·shine on them to dispel their gloom, and with an additional, gem1ine, fist-class " shine" of their .own, their mercnry rose al­most to ebullition! " Y{ill there be a et'owll ?''tLey all

wondered each in bis turn . "The roads mtlst be very . bud'' remarked, one; a more snnguine -pnt .in,: "that's nothing yoH' ll see if we don't i·ake in a ;. go'od housPiull any how!" Anrl so it hatJpenecl though the <3ontr:tr;Y ,

, Jilight heve been expected . It afforded us no small pleasure to have among our listeners such an lil!li!!Sual . number of Rev, g n0.sts and in all such a select [l.nd appreciative audience.

.At 7.40 the Band tooted its inimitable Zethus ever new and ever so melt ingly harmonious. Agoocl cheer and the cnrtain rose on the darksome r1u ngeous of the Tower. The stage n1ake up was very effective. The scene wn,s reallv prisop like.

Considering .the short time that was employ ed in rehearsing and the "newness" of the amateurs the ren­di tion of "Prince Arthur '' must be p1·onounced a suc­yess. The Pathetio parts of young Arthur's role, his tear, lu is p leadings, his .noble resi~tance to tbe violence of his cruel uucle were n,ll faithfully portrayed in Master Den­nis Ricou who was ofteu generon!lly applauded. The coutrnry unquiet, remorseful cares of I he king, - his in· r1ecision, his fea rs, suspicions, his ..v ild ra.ge recei vecl fhir expression in Mr. T. Normoy le. Mr. D. Cahill pl,ay­ed t he couhier with mnch nn,tnralness. Mr. P. vVil stnd1 personated the diffirmlt role vf Hubert almost [:w ltlcss­ly .

Mr. J. Dore of conrse wns as much at home iu the po01· old prisoners role as he would be in any. Keru<1n­der was perfect, The other chan1cters acted their parts also very credit ably. excepted the awkwarrl rnistt•ke made by the i'old.ier fumbling with the would-he re1l bot. iron and dropping i~ in t.hcir hurry to "re tire,'' wh ich beside ,c;tme too .:>oon; the audience wa:; thereby de prJ \·eel of a scene which could h~we been mn,cle very affecting.

The French melodrama "La Chanmiere B_etonue" wn,s excellent in almost every detail. The title roles wc1·e ably sustained by Messrs Arnb. grm1gor and Celeste Harbour. The father's curse ancl the son's pleading were especially most trn0. Mr. L. Grand champ was tr u!y rural, and Emile Raj otte never spoke once without causing general roupds of lnughtt:r. Some one remar-ked that the storm in the openiug sceric was not very "tetTor. inspiring" but th ::tt i.:> merely mechanical. l\10re cat)non ball thunder tlJe nex t time. The " DLldes" were powerful, but spoke scarcely audibly enough, though pel'haps it was for effect; they are delicate, you know.

The selections rliscoursecl by the Orchestra were re­ceived with much favor especially the "Anvil Chorus'' and the "March Po!]ltificale." But the musical "hit" of the evening was Master Louis Falley's guitar solo.There was a something in it so de!icate and sprightly, so clear, so sweet anrl so winningly graceful tJhat every one list­ened in mute attention anrl with eyes and ears. His ":Fandango" was encored and he returned to please us with anoth~r selection as beautiful. We will never tire of hE>aring these gentle notes which, we trust, shall grace many anqrher soixee.

To resume my story, then; the entertainment over, the people went home and we went to bed.

THE 21st. It would seem as if the sun kept all his bright warm

evinces the grateful respect so religiously payed to the protection of St. Viateur. At 9 o'clock we all repaired to the p:;trish church where a solemn High Mass was chanted by Rev. Fr. Rousseau, of Ishpeming, Michigan •. assisted by Rev. Fr. Campeau, of Ottawa, Ont. as dea­con and Rev. Fr. Adams of Ho.;helaga, Canada, as sub­deacon, and Rev. A. McGavick as master of ceremonies. The Choir with orchestra and organ accompaniment by Rev. Fr. Labelle, of Canada. rendered Dumont's mass. At the end of mass Rev. C. P. Foster, of Chicago, Ill, ascended the pulpit and spoke in his own graceful style the panegyric of St. Viateur. (We hope to be able to publish at full length in our next issue this beautiful sermon.)

After mass the field sports were immediately begun. They were conducted among the seniors by Messrs. Sullivan and Cusack, among the · juniors by Messrs. Dore and Finn and by Rev. G. Legris-and Bro. Beucler among the minims. Their scores see elsewhere.

The us ual grand dinner interrupted the games a little after twelve. The epithet "grand" describes it well. After the 2nd. course Mr. August Muehlenfordt, wearing the good conduct medal, was called to "take the cake" which he did very gracefully. The Banquet was well wound up: toasts being the de :sert. The responses were all sparkling with wit and full of delicacy. The toasters were Rev'ds Foster, Adams, Reilly, McGrath and Mr. Sweeney. The dinner then adjourned. The features of the afternoon were games of baseball and various races in the several departments. The campus was unusually vociferous.

In the evening an impromptu programme was arranged whichconsisted ofspeeches, songs, dances, instrumental pieces etc. Mr. A. McGavick made the opening address in most happy style. Messrs. Dore, Cahill, Normoyle, Rivard, sang. Masters Collet and McNamara performed gymnastics; the. guital', of course played. Rev. Fr. Rous­seau sang a comic song in French which was very tick­ling. He also made the clo~ing remarks~ thanking the stu­dents and encouraging them to improve tp~ talents they had so favorably displayed in these festivities. Rev. F. Marsile then announced St. Viateur's day past and class for the next day. Everybody felt happy and satisfied and thus we slept off in one night the fatigue of the day's unusual fun and though we dreamt of prizes etc., we awoke to find ourselves not famous, but only Students beginning to scale the high citadel of knowledge.

124 tiT. V1ATEU l.ni CVLLJ£8-E JUUR~AL.

PERSONAL_S. Foster-Rev. C. P. Foster '82, ot: St Job·n's. church, ·

-Chicago, graoiOLJsly repond.ed to an -invit<J,tion to preach un I:S t . Viateur's day, which he spen-t wit-h us. He preach­ed tho sermon at tlle solemn high mass in the church . Our 'rheto1·icians must have heen deliO"hterl .with his musical "' . sentences nnct no one will ever forge t the masterly way in which he treated his s ubj eut. He pictured to ou r m inds a most simple anrl beautiful sai nt under whose patronage we mn.y well be prouct of living.

McGratb--Rielly-Fatbe r McGrath, '83, of Chi cago, and Falhet· Rielly, '81 , of G ilma n, were also Fresent to enj'oy St. Viatenr's d••Y ·as of yore. Both of them, on being callect upon a1, dinner, spoke to us kind . words of friendsbip and of rnco~ragement.

Maher--We learn with pleasure that .James Mabe.r , '83, is nOw successfully practicing. La w in Chieago. He was admit ted to the bar but las t spring and a lready be finds himsel f quite b usy with cases of various· sor t.s . Hi s office is at 112 Clark S ~ree t..

Quinn-Francis Quinn, '84, is now _acting as ~ecretary of Congressman W arthington and no doubt enjoys the Situation which is a one real ly in accordan ce with his natural propensities for politics. We believe tha.t there

' will y·et be a day when Frank will shine in the sta rrr firm~me nt ot political celebrity. .,

Shannon --Father Shannon,. '83, late of tht>. CathE> dral oJ Peoria paid us a visit on the 20th. He was taking a short vacation prepa:ratory to settling a t Monmo uth , Ill s. as a.o-s istant pastor.

Gibbons-News reach us tlla t Father Gibbons, late of Georgetown, Col., has been appointed assistant of Father RobiMson in Leadville. This latter place is at an elev'ati·on of 1200 feet above the level of the sea, so that we can vouch for the purity of its climate. Father Gibbons finds it bracing and his health is fast improving. These ·tw«;> Fathers have a ~ongegrSJ.tion of 4500 souls and 600 children attending school.

. MitrLineau-We were not a little suprised to learn that G. Martine!iu, '86, whose musical help we greatly miss in our orchestra, is now marr1ed in Quebec where he intends to live benceforth. No longer wili he delight us with h·is beautiful selections on the violin, which he used to hand le so dexterously.

Lynch-It will please many to learn that Mr. Thomas Lynch, '8o , is now enjoying a rest in his native land oi Erin, the bright gem of the sea. His voya.ge across the Atlantic was most pleasimt and his arrival in Mill-street .., , County Cork, Ireland , was attend~d with many charming emotions of his kind heart, so devoted to his country. ·

SPORTIVE.

The excitement r 'n liigh frorn bAginni ng to end, e~pe(: ia lly -among the Senio~s, wtn•se <WIJtests were extremely close. Roach as he ha~ often· Clone before, proved himself fl eetest runnPr of all hy easily winning thH 100 Yards Dash and Mile Run. The three legged race, much to the surprise of a ll , was won liy Convey anr!" Leggett wl'lo out-ran all their oppouents with compara­tive ease. The spo.rts of the Ju11iors ~vere Jacking uf interest owing to the fact that Houde oaptme<l every­thing he wan ted, without much exertion . However in the H alf mil e rnn , Knise ly gave b.im a pretty race coming in on ly a step lJehind. The tug-of-war was the closes t seen in a number of years, bot h side's tugg ing f0 r some t eu minutes witho ut an inch of ground 'be ing gai ned or lost. The grounds of the Minirns were crowrlecl aU day witb the strangers who ev ielently e,njoyed the ga.mes of the small boys more tlmn thos8 of the large ou e~. The most in teresting fe>\ tllre of the Minims' sports was the ; tilt nu·e, l'l"Om t he start to the fini sh o f wll iuh there was loug cheering nnd ·appla use.
