The outcome of last Saturday's game was very gratifying to the basket-ball girls, and was a splendid beginning for the team record this year. Although the Gym was not "jammed" as tightly as might have been wished, a good crowd was in attendance, and what was lacking in numbers was more than made up for by interest and enthusiasm. The game was a friendly one throughout, and straight, clean playing was given by both teams. At 10 o'clock sharp the referee's whistle sounded, the teams took their j places and the ball was tossed up between centers. It went to the C. G. j S. forwards, was goaled, and then the game was on in earnest. The end of the first half saw the score 11—3 in favor of Stetson, and during the second half this was brought up to 18—8. Miss Vignier, as forward, did good work, and Miss Bowers, a new player, played exceptionally well. The center, Miss Yaekel also played well, as did the two guards, the Misses Miller and Nahm, although there was some needless passing done. The Cathedral girls, on the other hand, put up a good game, and showed excellent training by their swift, sure passes. The forwards, notwithstanding the superior height of their opponents, made several splendid field throws, and all played well. The line-up was as follows: Stetson C. G. S. Miss Vignier....

"The ..viessiah is not a new composition but a power throughout it lifts it above being tiresome and weary, however oiten it may be heard. the heavy choruses under the able direction ol Prof. Phillips, breaking in on perfect time and with a volume and power, swept over the audience, thrilling and stirring every hearer. All parts were fairly well balanced, the bass and soprano being the heaviest and with beautful shading and interpretation expressed the music of the great composer. t ne soloists, Genevieve Wilson, soprano, Elaine DeSellem, alto, John B. Miller, tenor, and Arthur Middleton, bass, are from Chicago and will also aid in "Elijah" Friday evening.

The continuously lively scene of travelers of all sorts and descriptions kept up the interest without in the least flagging from hrst to last. Many amusing scenes took place, too numerous to mention, but never to be forgotten. Of course, the runaway couple appeared on tne scene, followed in short time by the .rate tether and weeping mother. The henpecked husband was there also, carrying valises, boxes galore, ami obeying his attractive spouse implicitly. Even a father with a numerous family secured a life's helpmeet, of whom he stood much in need. One almost imagined that it was a real depot, and that the passing throngs were real travelers, each bent on carrying out his own life's aims. Miss Emery brought down the house with her singing. The Glee Club was cheered vociferously and Mr. Zeigler's song was ably rendered. All the actors are to be congratulated on the success of the entertainment. "Laugh and grow fat," is an old true saying. We are thankful for an hour's pure fun that exhilarates and that leaves nothing to be regretted.—Demand News. The Union Depo .
