everyone is certain, even the

Mullen's subject was popular,
well handled, and well delivered.
The usual difficulty was en
countered at the last moment in
obtaining judges. John M.
Ragan was sick and H. D.
Estabrook was unable to be
here until nearly nine o'clock.
Rev. E. II. An lis and Prof.
Lecse were chosen to fill the
vacancies, and at about S : 15 the
ball began.
The program was" opened
with a guitar and mandolin duet
bv Messrs, Hebard andfYounir.4
The selection was well received.
The first oration was "A Cen
tury of Dishonor.1' by Mr. Ned
C. Abbott. Mr. Abbott present

The winning oration was next
on the program. Mr. McMul
len's subject was "'Blaine, the
Man." It abounded with eilec
tive climaxes and oratorical
effects. If our orator gets rid
of a slight thickness which is at
times discernible in his voice
and makes his pauses a little
less marked, we will' be repre
sented in the State Contest and
the Interstate by as good a de
livery as the Uni has ever
developed.
Owing to Miss Blair's illness
the next nuraner, a vocal solo,
was omitted.
Miss Florence Smith then de
livered a thoughtful, well writ
ten oration on The Meaning of
a -University Education." Her
delivery was marred by the thin
ness of her voice.
Mr. A. G. Chapman next gave
'Another Side of the. Question."
