Hurry up students and make up ae other 7 J and then some! A list of students' names will be given next week. A most successful and enjoyable Institute week closed last Friday evening with an inspiring talk by Dean Rouse of Peru, on "The Re war4s of a Teacher". Contrary to the possible expetat!on of some that such a subject must necessarily take but a short time to tell of, Mr. Rouse filled the allotted time with matter of absorbing interest, just as he did his twlce-a-dy talks during the w ek to teachers, on School Man agement and other vital topics. On Monday of this week our pop ular and energetic leader of athlet ics, Mr. Walton, "opened" or "l?d off the ball" (as they used to say In the days when dancing was an innocent amusement, ofttime indulged in on the village green), with a rousing game of indoor baseball in the gym. Monday, Wednesday, and FrMay are to be the boys' days, and Tuesday and Thursday for the girls. The latter Include several sturdy ath l"t". of prowess and renown, s.hIi as any young man of a timid dispo sition would be glad of as a compan ion when going heme of a dark nlaht! The lecture by Dean Rouse on Fri day night was well attended, and several pleasing musical Items were rendered in addition. We are indebted to the ladies and gentlemen who have every day fovor ed us at the chapel hour, soothing and ravishing our souls witih must.-, both vocal and Instrumental. The usual pleasantries of course will pass at times on the rostrum in chapel, but somehow up to the pre i ent the supply of anecdote seems to have fallen below the average. Prof. Reimund did follow Prof. Marrs, I is true, with an opening speech in which he a ined the latter gentle man of "marring" his talk by antic ipating some of his intended remarks, but Prof. Marrs (possibly, being new to Alliance) neglected to make the cbvlous retort that both rhyme and (Reimund) reason were absent from anv such excuse far a poor speech. . I We have been visited by the pas tors of all the churches except the Papist, who for some reason was not able as yet to favor us. Come a- 'gain friends. We need you and you need us.

It is a loivg way from the platform to th? rear of the asstinhly hall and sometimes one nets the impression that one is missing the details of the recital of the "late" virtues of some lament il friend whose name we can't iuite catch! Don't take this unkindly, friends, but remember (hat we hang upon your words and use a mega phone if necessary! There s. ems to be still a little ad justing to be done before evtry-jne is satisfactorily seated iu the assem bly room and it is suggested that something similar to the following no ' lice might be posted: "The seats . in this room are for the use of the ladies! Gentlemen are requested to ; not occupy them until the former are all seated!" Altogether we are fallina into our stride quite rapidly and look forward ' another seven week or so of BtTenous work and play, joyful a chJevement and wholesome pleasure; wKh every confidence In the Powers above. In our dear friends !d and new, and yet to be, and Incidentally in our humble selves. OPENING AT THE DRAKE A Bigger Affair Than hast Baan An ticipated by New anaejsmsivt The new proprietors of The Drake Ho: el. II. A. Bowman & Son, and their assistants had expected a good patronage, but the attendance a-t the opening last Sunday was larger than had been anticipated. An exact ctmnt of the number of dinners serv er! was ikii kept . h.h ., amounted to uadtrtuxhs of ne htm-lit d1 and I The proprietors regret very much that those who ante last could not b? given as good service as the first, owing to thj unexpevUH? large number. Some marked improvements have been made under the new man;i nient, and It fs very encouraging to them that these Improvements are al ready appreciated. They are deter mined to mike The Drake a little better than any other hotel in this part of the west, and Indications now point to a p t r lOage sufficient .o Justify them la ihe.r uiHertaking.
