THE HESPERIAN The lightweight wrestling contest wont to E. O. Pnco by default, Geo. Flippin won the heavyweight boxing contest in the same manner; but Oury was asked, and finally consented, to fill the number by amusing Flippin in a five minute wrestling bout. He made it interesting for him for a time, but was finally felled. The middleweight wrest ling bout between CamGrbn and Pace was a draw, neither being able to throw the other. The third of these bouts closed the program. Gold medals wore awarded to the winner in each case. MOVING THE LIBRARY. Miss Jones hopes to move into the now building in July. The part now standing will be completed at once, and as soon as the iron shelving is in place the books will be moved. Students will bo employed for all tho work. One set will clean the books in their present place, while another will carry them to the now building in hods resembling those used by masons. If possi ble a month will bo taken for tho work, although it can bo done in much loss time if necessary. But tho librarian prefers to be as systematic as possible. All the books will bo placed in the the 'stack room' ' at first. Later those belong ing there will bo moved into the reading room, where tho sholving will bo of oak instead of iron. Miss Jones expects to make a trip to tho mountains in AuguBt, and so is very anxious to got partially settled in her now quartors before that time. Olubs was fully up to the standard of those oven popular organizations, and well de served thoir encores. Miss Agnes Sowoll's solo was very pleasing. "Ohums" was the closing piece and tho one that took the audience by storm. The acting of the five young men was fully as satisfactory as that of tho average professionals, although three of them are supposed to belong to tho opposite sex. It would bo pleasant to comment upon all who took part in tho entertainment, but space forbids. Manager Zehrung said it was tho host amateur performance seen in the city. And, by tho way, tho club are loud in thoir praises of Mr. Zehrung's management declaring his kindness excelled their most sanguine oxpoctations. Tho Funlco seems well adapted for University entertainments, and the gentlemanly conduct of its manage ment onhancos its value for such purposes. WILLIAM REED DUNROY'S READINGS. THE DRAMATIC CLUB. Tho performance of tho Dramatic Club March 25th was well attended, and in every way all that could bo oxpectod. The curtain raiser, "Tho Open Goto," was well played, all taking their parts well. Tho music furnished by tho Gloo and Banjo William Keed Dunroy gave a pleasing entertainment last Monday night in tho Uni versity Ohapol. The first number on tho program was an address by Hon. W. J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan complimented the young poet, Mr. Dunroy, and wished him every success. Mr. Dunroy's first reading was "The Nobrasky Uni," which is dodicated to tho students and faculty of tho University. His other selections wore "Nobrasky," "A Nocturne," "Tho Old Fashioned Girl," and "Mother's Old Rag Carpet." He also re cited in responso to the applause of the au dience "Resignation," which was certainly a proof of the poetic spirit of the writer. Tho program was varied by a tenor solo rondorod by Mr. Albert Kendall, also a solo by Miss Sponcor. Miss Porkin's piano solo was worthy of tho highest praise.
