The third nniutul bcnellt for football
wns given, In chapel last Friday even
ing1. The house was infortalbly tilled,
there- being very few vacant seats
down stairs. Upstairs they wore not
at a premium. There was a ragged
lino of people stretched n round Its entire-
length, but they wore wot many
rows deep. The audience gathered
oarly nnd were good natural through
out, Accepting1 the numerous "oraokn"
In the best humor -possible. They we'o
also free with npplnuse, but in few
cases wore their ell'ort rewarded with
encores. It is epinlly us well tlhat they
were not, for the program was expend
ed unnecessarily long as it was.
Probably the most encouraging
tiling for football and the obllvlatlon
of future debts was the fact tlmt a ma
jority of tho participants were lower
got her as now compose the various
committees. Hut even with so largo
n moinbershrlp tho men nrc not satis
fied and express their dotcrm.tniitlo'i
to increase the roll to threo hundred
before tho end of the semester. A.
goodly share of the credit for this
very desirable, stole of nltalrs seems
to lie due to Mr. Moore, the new secre
tary. It wild about 8 o'clock when the com
mitteemen and guests began to arrive,
toonion and guests began to arrive.
Among those- who came upon spccl.il
invitation wore Chancellor MacLenn,
V. C. Mloheiier, interna tlonnl Bccroti-
ryj C. S. Ward, of Minneapolis; Clias. i
Kills, college- secretary 01 iNeimviuii
Dr. 11. II. Ward, Dr. W. (1. HasUngu,
lion. (1. A. AdaniH, president ol the
olty association; Dr. I. 11. Paine, and
.loh n Dougherty.
After a very short time spent in the
IKirlors tho president of the associa
tion, Mr. ilohn Hoo&c, led the march
to tho dining room, where was dis
pensed all tho good things pertaining
to a modern banquet. The tables and
hall wore very attractively decorated
with the University scarlet and cream,
together with the stars and stripes.
During tho preliminary feast of
oysters, turkey and the like, occurred
a ery pleasant part of the program,
though a part which was not upon the
printed cards. It was the Kinging of
college songs and national hymns, in
which everyone about the tables could
not help taking jKirt. Those present
who hud been longest about the Uni
versity said they they hod never be
foiv seen so much genuine college
spirit shown, nor so many collego
Mings so well sung by any gathering
of I nhorsitj students.
NEBRASKA' '98 BASE- IUI I I rAM
Classmen. Most of them show ability
and promise to show well in that line
in years to come.
The program was opened by the Uni.
versity band, under the direction of
Mr. ndlm. The marked improvement
noticed so early in 'the .season is be
coming' more and more prominent.
This is one of the pleasing features of
the University and no amount of co
operative support will be too much for
tho recognition of its merit.
Aa expressed on the program, Steb
blns gave a marvelous exhibition of
club swinging and juggling;, lie lias
an exceedingly easy manner of hand
ling the sticks, that would make him a
dangerous man in afree-for-all.
Tho McKUllp, Gillespie, Heghtol,
Williams numher was carried out as
advertised, except that McKlllip wasn't
there (no account of him 'being rend
ered, cither), and that one of their
most expensive bottles was "broken In
the first scrimmage so that they could
not respond to an encore. Great cred
it is due the loys for The thorough
manner in which they 'handle the bot
tles. Lincoln as Mile. Noir, x render Han
sense, was there. It is safe to say tlhat
he made this presence felt and left an
impression which will last. The ab
sence of the white dog, however, Is la
mentable and left a depressing effect
upon the audience until the dear thing
was brought out later on.
Tukey and woods both received
much applause. The joke sprung by
the former concerning tllie 'broken En
glish of Prof. Fossler is certainly good
enough to keep. Nothing but an en
core would satisfy when the banjo
fiend came out.
The work of 31111 and Hooper in trick
bicycle riding was a surprise. No one.
suspected such hidden talent was to -e
found in our school.
This closed the first part of the per
formance. The second was of a some
what different nature. The specialties
gave way to a kind of a seml-comcdlc
list, whic-h sis as a 'whole wore vcrj
well received.
Sumner and Sherman' entertained
the crowd for some time in- a sketch
called "The Blind Bard' and Digital
Draughtsman." It was laughable
light and joliy, and 'broughto forth)
rounds of applause, nits were sprun
upon several people, some of -which
however, might have been1 omitted

AN EXPOSITION KXIIIHIT.
The fountain pen exhibit of the L. K.
Waterman Company, New ork, at the
Trans-Mississippi and International
Exposition, Oma'lm, Neb., Is sliowu In
the accompanying cut. It occupies a
space 10 by 20 feet on tho main a sic
in section J, and Is under ..ie manage
ment of 1). L. Musselman, dr., assisted
at Intervals nnd lu turn by several of
the companj 's travelers, V. A. Kenny
for the Pacific Const, T. C. Keys for
the Middle States, and Edward .1. Kas
tner for the Southern States. It is es
sentially the same exhibit which the
company made at'tlie Chicago fair.
Many of the details about fills Iwo'tUi
will be observed by the reader without
special reference to them belnig re
quired here. Such tc the four lnrgc
suspended pens nnd tic four huge up
right pens, the latter of Which mark
the four courncrs of Mie ibootlh. nnd
would be big enough to fit the hand' of
the ancient Goliath; the show case in
front, which contains a fall line of the
company's 14-kn.rat gokk sterling sil
ver and jewel-mounted pens Itv trays,
medals, and also a velvet-lined and
leather case, which holds the fountain
pen and sword, whidh hiavc been' re
ferred to before in this paper. The lat
ter illustrates the words wliddh' Lytton
put into the mouth of ltlchelieu, "The
iH'ii is mighter than the sword. Tha
barrel of the pen is made of gold, and
it and the sword are mounted with
thirty-six jewels eat'li eighteen dia
monds nnd eight en sapphires.
Generally speaking, the exhibit is in
tended' to show, and will, in fact, give
visitors u g-ood idea of the material
used and the successive steps 'taken in
the mnnufa'uturc of a fountain pen so
far as practicable. In the upright,
square case to the right in the cut is
shown, for iivstanee, a quantity of rub
ber in its crude state, as well as tha
several sections of a fountain pen, into
the making of which this rubber en
t"Ts, and which, when nsscm'.cd, pro.
duce i he finished and perfect pens
which are shown in. the adjoining
show case. In the case on tho other
side is a full assortment of gold pens,
showing the various sizes and styles
of the nibs.
One other subject in the cut rcmaina
to be explained. That is the glass
globe, which stands oa a pedestal in
the center of the booth. Inside the
globe is a minniture fountain made by
means of nn "Ideal" -fountain pen of
regular feed, through which water la
forced from a concealed tank. The
globe is labeled ns follows: "Water

inner given by the Y. M. C. A. for
ieir committeemen and some Invited
uests. There were forty-five bright
iced young men present to represent
'ie 200 members of the most fiourish
ig association in the history of the
niversity.
It was not so very long ago that it
'ould have been considered exceed-
igly creditable for an association o
nave as many members enrolled nlto-
inouth. Mr. Adams spoke of "The
Christian Man In the .Professions."
Mr. Micliener responded to "The Ha
lation of the Association to the Uni
versity," and Dr. Ward closed tho pro
gram with some words alwut "Our Fu
ture." The dinner was a complete success
from every standpoint, and there is no
reason why it should not continue io

may look forward to each year.
