It is wilH much gratitude and thanksgiv ing Indeed that we tnuUi this report ctf the year's work, so splcnd'idly and successfully done; and while in the midst of our joy and' gratification, there comes a slight tinge, a certain iion of lost opportunities, of work undone, and of failure (hat might have been triumphs, yet in the main, we have giotl reason to thank God for a j ear of prosperity ami usefulness such ai the association' lias never be fore known. Building, as it has, on the good foundations laid in the work of former years and taking advant age of every tiling gained in those times of labor, the association has ad anced not In size alone, but In in fluence and standing, iiutiil now it is tin- recognized organization' for good in the university. The friendly feel ing that exists toward iUs work oi the part of all other organizations, the entire student body, the faculty and eiticii, can not be too highly cin hasied. It is a happy sign that morality is triumphant in the iiul-u-rsity, and makes bright indeed the future and the opportunities of the association. M'KMJIEHSHJP.

A large crowd watched the game, which was 'the best exhibit hn of the nntiloivnl game that has been put on the home grounds this season. The home team was changed' about considerably, the infield! change proving a decided advamtage, As Me Dhirimitl at Short and lleeder at sec ond both played in excelleivt from. The fast, clean doubles were effected between MeDiaruild, lleeder and IMiodC" that gained the good will of the fans, belimer behind the bat placed a star game, making three or four sensational ft.ul catches that set the crowd wild. Mclford was steady, but at critical times could not keep the visitors from connecting succcbis fully with the sphere. The Tigers are especially strong at the hat, in the first inning they pounded out three rturs before the third niain was out. Again the seventh they 'bunched hits ucccsfuMy, netting 3 more runs in t lint inning. Curtright did good work in the box for the visitors. Several 'times we had men on 'third and sccu-.id and no lxidy out, but at these critical times he was invincible, the men' falling bclore hint in one, two three order. De.wcy at third and Wilcox at short played fast ball. The outfield of br.tih teams was loiind lacking in fielding ground hits. Itartce in the center garden for tihe Ti-geu-3 made four pretty catches ot long drives. Our boyis hit ithe bai'i, but failed to bunch their hits at critical times; they were found! wanting.

Garim was up next with nn easy one 'to lleeder, who made a clean double. Atchison made the fourth hit of the, inning with a safe one over second, but died as Cooper was caught out on a lly foul. Three runs to start witli is enough and our side opened up in poor batting form. Cnptnin Iteeder went out oiv a little hit to the br, Meb.arniid smashed the first ball over second for two bags, nnd second on Kingsbury's hit to right.
