esting thing about this was 'tho dem
onstration of tho improvement of land

field previously covered with alfalfa,
the corn would bo about four times as
large as any other.

had erected two miniature schpol
houses which represented tho old and

grounds covered wllh flower-beds.
A collection of about fifty books,
written by university professors, was
also on exhibition.
A number of university songs and
yells were rendered on tho phono
graph, ,and when played they never
failed to draw a crowd,
