INTER-COLLEGIATE BASE BALL Two Games Between Stetson and S. F. M. C. at Bartow. Stetson, 1; S. F. M. C, 0; Such was the result of the first intercollegiate game of the season. From the start to the finish it was an exciting as well as doubtful contest. S. F. M. C. came to the bat first and was retired in one, two, three order; when Stetson's turn came she fared the same lot. So it kept up until the last of the tenth inning, with now and then an S. F. M. C. man seeing first, but seldom geting farther. In the Avhole game only two of their men reached third. On our side several times we reached third but failed to get a hit to bring in a ran. The last of the tenth inning Pounds came to bat, sending a grounder to the shortstop, who promptly threw the runner out. Telot followed with a safety, reaching first. E. Mickle came after him, sending out a long hit between center and right 'field. The fielder, seeing the ball, made a bad throw bo third to cut off Pelot, who then came home, giving us the only -score of the game. Our old friend Reid did the twirling for the S. F. M. C.'s and pitched a fine game, holding us down to 5 hits but he did not have the best of support in the field. Pelot did himself proud in the twirling line, allowing them only two hits, and not a base on balls. He was given full support, our boys playing a practically errorless game. Line Up. Stetson S. F. M.

Although, a close exciting game there were more errors than in the previous game and the result was never in doubt. Judging by earned runs, the game ought to have stood 2 to 0 in Stetson's favor. E. Mickle pitched a good game, having eleven strike-outs to his credit and only four hits off him, while Wilhelm struck out three and gave us six hits. These two games were two of the most interesting games Stetson has played in two years. The S. F. M. C. boys gave us a good reception and treated us as gentlemen in every way. This will be reciprocated in the return games to be played here on March 17 and 18. Line Up. Stetson S. F. M. C. Pounds 2nd Sloan Pelot c Lester E. Mickle p Wilhelm W.

On Friday evening of last week occurred the fourth monthly recital by Prof. Orwin A. Morse. Throughout the whole winter these evening musicals have proved a rare treat to the citizens and visitors of DeLand, nor were they rare in the s^ise of not being well done. Prof. Morse's playing is characterized by delicacy of touch, 'fine technique and true feeling. The third number on the program, the organ arrangement of which is original with Prof. Morse, called forth the heariest applause of the audience, making one wish that Prof. Morse would more often give the public compositions which show touches of his own individuality. Numbers five, six and seven seemed to find -special favor with the audience. PROGRAM. Mendelssohn: War March of Priests (Athalie). John Hyatt Brewer: A Springtime Sketch. Paul I.acombe: Spring Serenade. (Organ arrangement by O. A. Morse). Mendelssohn: Organ Sonata Xo. (>. Salome: Offertory in D flat. Wagner: Vorspiel to Lohengrin. Batiste: Offertory in D (St. Cecelia). I. V. Flagler: Concert Variations on "Home Sweet Home." College Play Coming, Don't fail to see Ingomar, next Friday evening. March tenth. This is the fifth number in the Lyceum course and la the regular college drama of the season. Most of the costumes are to be procured from Tan Horn & Son, of Philadelphia, the best armorers and costumers in the country. Special scenery has also been prepared. The play itself is a little heavier than usually chosen by college people, for amateur dramatics, and the troup have done some hard work in the long season of rehearsals. A glance at the cast of character will convince you that the play will not suffer from lack of talent. Mr. Lenfestey, ••chief of Barbarians" will play the title role and Miss Morrison will be his Parthenia. Her father, Myron is Fd Mickle and the Shylock of the story, Polydore, is represented by W. L. Tilden. Others of the cast are: Misses Webster and Hawley, Messrs Mcllvaine, Hendricks, Walker, Sneddon, Broadwell, Lofberg. Duncan Staley, Botts. Rogers and Futeh. This is not the last number of the Lyceum Course. There seems to be some mistaken idea that it is. The final number will be given Tuesday night, March 21. Gen. Lew Wallace, author of the famous book "Ben Hur." died February loth, at his home in Orawfordsville. Ind. Gladys—Men are conceited things! Why one may see them any time gazing at a looking- glass. Tom (meaningly)—"Yes. but its always a good looking-las,s. STETSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Stetson Historical Society began its existence Friday February 17, by the enrollment of ten members, Dr. Hulley starting the movement. The object of this society will be to aAvaken interest in matters of local history, preserve records of important events, and act as trustees for any historical data placed within its keeping. There will be no stated meetings of this society, but its members will meet whenever occasion requires to promote the interest of the society. The University vault will be used to safeguard any materials presented to the society. This vault is fire-proof and has inside fire-proof safes. There is no place outside the banks for hundreds of miles, which is as safe as his vault against fire. Old settlers have in their possession all sorts of things such as letters, papers, pictures, mementoes, furniture belonging to old timers, utensils, records, books, minutes and so forth which ought to be preserved. Instead of leaving these things to be devoured by moth and rust and flame, why not bring them to the University and place them in safe keeping? The work of this society will be chiefly concerned with matters relating to DeLand and the University. The place of second importance Will lie given the State. After that anything that has historical significance will hold the interest of the society. If people see fit to put things in the society's keeping, a special room in the University will be made an exhibit room. The people of DeLand and vieinit are invited to co-operate with the society. The president o" the University, Dr. Lincoln Hulley. will be glad to receive any communications relating to this society. ♦»» Lit and Law. The last meeting of the Literary Society was not very long, its members deciding to go above and visit the Kent Club. We arived there just in time to hear the decision of the judges which was in itself a novel proceeding. Three of the youngest members of the club gave their individual opinions, commenting on certain points in the debate which happened to suit their fancies, and encouraging their senior brothers in the good work. The parlimentary drill Avas devoted principally to efforts to keep Mr. Sch > field from monopolizing Ihe floor, but the irrepressible, unconvincible. un- squelehable Mr. Schofiold was very much in evidence all the time and ably baffled all their efforts. He would 'doubtless be talking yet if a motion to adjourn had not put an ?nd to the strife. ■++-+■ ■— wesper Service. The Vesper service last Sunday afternoon, was led by Prof. Mac- Dcvgall, and was enjoyed by a large audience. The program, which was largely musical was very well rendered. The Vesper choir sang "Gloria." also "There is a Holy City." the soprano and contralto solo parts being rendered by Miss J. L. Spanlding and Miss Lutz, respectively. Prof. Morse played two pretty organ solos—"The Angels' Serenade," by Braga, and Mendelssohn's "Consolation." The leader made a short but forceful talk, taking as his subject, "What commerce has done for the world." He showed that commerce is not, as is often supposed, a merely worldly tiling, but that it has a very pronounced influence in a spiritual way. It is commerce that forces open the closed doors of such countries as China and India, thus paving the way for the civilization, and ultimately the evangelization, of those countries. Thus commerce is often the foremost pioneer of the Gospel. Commerce has also a benefivial influence, because of its high standards. To succeed in business one must not only have ability and shrewdness in transaction but he must be backed by a strong, indomitable christian character. A dealization of this fact will cause the young man, ambitious for a commercial career, to build right in the beginning, to found his character on the solid rock of Christianity. Ladies' Quartette. It was indeed an "Evening of Song and Story," and a very agreeble one at that. All that the posters had said of the abilities of the four ladies was found to be true. There were 10 numbers on tlie program and each one was encored—some of them tAvo or three times. Miss Miller, the first alto and reader, seemed to be the favorite of the audience. She shoAved remarkable versalitity and power in all her selections; and her selections A\rere Avell chosen to suit her poAver. We Avere especially thrilled by her dramatic rendition of the French Court Scene and delighted Avith her "Coming Out." The encore number "Mr. Jones, preparing for a Journey," given entirely in pantomine, Avas hugely appreciated by the audience, and aa^'is startling in its reality. Miss Cones, the first soprano, has a clear, true voice and her solo and quartette Avork Avas much enjoyed. Miss SteAvart's voice was much liked too and her solo received a liberal share of the abundant applause. The baritone solo (from II Trova- tore) by Miss Houser, afforded excellent scope for her deep voice. Of the quartette numbers "Water Lilies" and "Spring Song" were perhaps enjoyed the most. In all the entertainment ranks as one of tlie best given in the auditorium. Alumni. 1893. Geo. H. Wilder, soon after leaving Stetson, accepted a position in Washington, under the Sergeant-at- Arms. of the U. S. Senate. He held this position for about two years until Colonel Sparkman of Florida came to Congress in 1895. Since then Mr. Wilder has been AATith the latter gentleman in the capacity of private secretary. 1004.
