He. spoke in part as follows: I bring you today for a text a stanza from Bertram Dobell, which I hope may leave Its impression even If my words do not: "My youth was over, constant to one dream, That In tho ripeness of my days I might CORNHUSKERS WIN. good gains at critical points during j Something achieve that should the the game and only falling to Bcore a j Yorld requite. second touchdown because of a fumble For my existence." on Ghlcago's three-yard line.

Nebraska Crpss-Country Team Defeats Chicago and Wisconsin. Nebraska won the Western Intor collegiate Cross-Country Champion ship In Impressive style Saturday morning, not only defeating Wiscon sin and Chicago, but practically cap turing everything in sight, making a score of 2C to Wisconsin's 45 and Chi cago's 49. In fact, had Nebraska's team been pitted against the pick of the opposing teams It would still have won with case. Tho run was over tho Jackson Park cross-country course, Avjiich is five miles In length. Thero are two low hurdles on the course, but It is almost entirely over tho level, either on ground or turf. Havens of Nebraska finished easily first, winning by 40 yards n 2C min utes 4 seconds: Cooper of Wisconsin was second, with Caldwell of Chicago a close third. -Nebraska took fourjth and fifth eusily, Alden -and DavlB41nr Ishlng in the order named. Morgah won seventh for Nebraska, sprinting away from Caldwell of Chicago in tho hardest finish of the day. Smith came in ninth, well in the lead of the re mainder of the field, which straggled along for almost a mile in tho rear. T.he score was counted by adding tho order of the places in Which tho men finished, the team making the lowest score winning tho meet. Nebraska finished 1, 4,- 5, 7, nnd 9, making her total score 2fi. Nebraska, by. this performance, wins the championship cup for tho second time. This cup becomes tlio permanent property of tho team which first wins it three times. Chicago is the only other team which has won it, having carried off tho cliampion ship last year, so that Nebraska has excellent prospects of becoming its permanent possessor. ' Tho family of Professor Robert Stevens of tho School of Music- ar rived from Chicago ast week with the intention of making Lincoln their "homo. , .. ' , f. Tho fourth annual County Fair wjih nold in the Armory nnd In Memorial ' Hall last Saturday evening from"! tin ' til 10:!J0. It Was by far tho nibHt sue Icessful of tho serlesor fairs that un I boon given, both from tho social and financial standpoints. Over" 1,200 por sons visited tho "grounds" Tittho course of tho ovonlng and it Is cstl mated that tho net proceeds will ox coed $300.00. The stream of visitors started promptly at 7 o'clock, as soon as tho gates were opened, and continued up to tho very hist minute, when the work of destruction had to commence In order to clear tho hall by midnight. For a largo part of tho time not only all available floor space was filled vylth sight-Beers,' but tho balcoulcrt lnMo- morlal Hall as well. To compare the attractions would bo as impossible as it would bo Inadvisa ble. All were clever In tho cxtromb and tho originators deserve high praise for .tho ingenuity displayed. Perhaps the most unique from tho point of mechanical construction wns the automatic man. But it vied In point of attractiveness with many others. Tho New Lyric had "its quota of thrll-' lors and romance! ; Nolly was a lady surely, but her pictures didn't llo hor half Justlco; tho Dance of tho June-' bugs was dainty and graceful toil de gree, and tho Shoot tho Chutes was productive of moro noise than all tho roBt of the fair put together, with tho single excoptlon of tho Nelly siren. -TJ10 Mysterious Man was mysterious in an unusual degree; the Review of Reviews was decidedly moro interest ing than tho magazine after which it was named; and, In- fact, there, was not ,a show that did not come up to oxpoctations. "" Even tho Giant Frog, with its com rades tho Red Bat nnd the- One-Eyed Monster, lived up to their name's, tho first one bolng a railroad appliance and tUe other two a brjek-bat and a largo sack needle, respectively. The free shows were bigger and bettor than over, althq for tho most purf built on tho-samo lines of previ ous' yoars. The Baby Show was its usual "howling" success; tho minstrel' show displayed the effects vof long and arduous practise; - the acrobatic clowns did their stunts with celerity ' und precision; and tho Wedding In High Ltfe found all the parties con cerned decidedly "up in the air," if ono. may Judgo from heightened color and vibrating knees. Tho costuming ot individual char acters, such as Samantba and Josiah Allen, tho clgaret girls, Sis Hopkins, the animated barber's pole, and the two-faced infants, t was uniformly clever and " mirth-provoking. More than this, the booths for tho, sajlo of posters, canuy, wailles and for the prompt (?) delivery of A..D. T. mes sages were trimmed in 'the besf of taste and with a weather eye for the effect of tho tout ensemble. FLr w Sf '
