HOME CONCERT BY GLEE CLUB Enjoyable Program Despite Obstacles. The annual concert by the University Glee Club, this year the second number of the Lyceum course, was given on Friday evening in the auditorium. Thie^ event, which is always looked for \ ward to by students and town^-b people as one of the most enjoyable features of the series of Lyceum entertainments, found a large and expectant audience assembled. The program was rendered as fallows : PROGRAM. PART I. Overture, "Poet and Peasant". Von^uppe Piano, Misses Hamlin and Fuller-; Organ, Mr. Morse. a. "To All You Lrdieg Here To-Night! " —Calcott b.

It seemed that ill fortune had determined against the giving of i this concert, aad it was because 1 of illness among several members of the club that the date had been postponed from the previous Friday evening. Within the following week two of the members were rendered unable to sing, Mr. Pelot by a painful injury at base ball practice and Mr. Cramer by illness. These places, however. were filled by other trained v< ice8 and a very entertaining program was rendered. The two instrumental numbers rendered by the Misses Hamlin and Fuller at the piano and Prof. Morse at the organ were very pleasing and showed much ability. It is hardly necessary to say how thoroughly the audience enjoyed the solos I'y Rev. Gray, for his | singing is always looked forward] to with pleasure. Mr. Webb Hill sang twice and met with the usual warm welcome from his audience. The Club is to be praised not] only for the delightful evening] but as well for the resolution with ] which they met the obstacles to] success. PREPARING FOR COMING SEASON Hard work on Diamond. (jJirls Challenge. Vesper Service. 'Self-denial" was the theme of Dr. Hulley's discourse at last Sunday's vesper service. It was a very clear exposition of the seeming paradox of Christianity that life lost for Christ's sake ii- found. In substance Dr. Hulley said that self-denial is a good or bad thing depending upon the motive for which it is exercised. Some forms of self-denial such as those practiced by misers or over- enthusiastic athletes and students are merely modified forms of selfishness, but the true Christian type of self-denial is that suffered for others. In his address Dr. Hulley closely allied self-denial and service. They must both be borne with the proper spirit. "Service," our president said, "is not incidental, but absolutely fundamental to Christianity." The musical features of the service also were rich and varied. Two selections were rendered by the Ladies' Chorus and one by the Male Chorus. Besides this, a male quartet of exquisitely blended voices furnished an item in the order of exercises which was greatly appreciated by the audience. First Team. Capt. Campbell led ten of hia doughty athletes down to the tailor's Saturday and had them measured for their new suits. The Stetson nine is to be tl e best looking team on the College Diamond this year, and we prophesy that "pretty does as pretty is." The ten men indued six >kS" men: Campbell, Pelot, Mickle, Tilden, Kirby and Hamlin, Of the other four, Haselton was a sub. last year, while Pounds, Hunter and Allen are playing with Stetson their first season. Besides these ten, some three or four others will be added to the first squad. These will probably t>e Jones, Willard and Parsons. Mr. Pelot's injury has weakened the pitching staff temporarily, but the prospects are that the team will be in good shape for the first same. Second Team Organize. Saturday afternoon a meeting was held in Stetson Hall to organize a second Baseball team. Robinson was chosen Captain and Cotton manger. All baseball men in school who do not play on the first nine will train for places on the second nine. A series of games will be arranged by Manager Colton, and the second team calls for the loyal support of the ^school as strongly as does the Varsity nine. The men who work to make possible a strong College team, yet fail to win personal prominence, deserve the best treatment and may expect it at Stetson. ■». ♦ Basket Ball.
