COLLEGEVILLE.

Mrs. Peter Kennedy and Miss Frances Kennedy were visitors from Chicago Sunday. On Thursday, the feast of the ascension, there were no classes. The religious services were conducted by Father Kennedy. . t - Last Sunday evening the first open air ooncert was given by the band. The playing is of the first order, and we await from the band many more pleasant evenings. The pews, the alters and the organ have all been set up in the chapel. Some of the stained glass windows are expected in a few days. The very beautiful gold sanctuary lamp has also arrived. The stations of the cross are in transitfrom New York and should be here by the first of the next week. Cement side-walks have been laid in front and on the east side of the chapel. All in all things are progressing very nicely for the celebration of the 17th. The Varsity lasted defeat in their first battle on the home grounds when the Forresters of Lafayette trimmed them by the score of five to two. The visitors began in a hurry and with the generous assistance of errors by the collegians gathered in two runs before the locals were aware of it that the game had fairly started. When the Varsity was through booting the ball they had kicked the game away. With the coming of the third session they settled down to consistant ball playing, but they were unable to connect with Connor’s shoots and could not overcome the visitors’ lead. A belated ninth inning rally budded, but died before the necessary runs were produced. The score: R H E St Joseph’s 0-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-I—3—4—s Lafayette 2-1-0-1-0-0-1-0-o—s--12—2 On Saturday the Varsity journeys to Chicago for a game with De Paul University. Their return game will, be played on the college diamond on the day of the dedication. The drama “Scanderbeg” to be rendered Monday, May 16th, is fast taking on proper form.
