COLLEGEVILLE.

The citizens of Rensselaer and the surrounding country are always welcome to visit the college buildings and premises, but they are kindly requested to present themselves at the south entrance of the main building so that the proper attention can be given to them. Unchaperoned young ladies slipuld not wait about the premises unless they are accompanied bf some one of the college. Columbus Day was observed on Monday. A larfe number of the students took advantage of the off day for their annual hike to Remington. Thus far no peculiar accidents have been reported, but most of those who made the trip upon their return were ready to affirm that Collegeville is fifty miles or more from the neighboring village to the south. It was a real world’s series game with the Athletics last Sunday afternoon. The Collegians were minus their star pitcher, Maloney, and had to depend upon the newest of their understudias, Otto Ricks, to hold the hard-slugging Athletics at bay. He did most admirably well, allowing but four hits. Only three of the college boys were in their regular positions, Daniels at short and Roof behind the bat; Both put up their old-time game. McGinty, Fitzgerald and Annen, the new trio on the cushions, gave splendid accounts of themselves. There is every prospect of a strong team for next season. Ts the weather proves favorable the last game of the season will be played on the college grouhds next Sunday afternoon with the Rensselaer Athletics. Manager Dalton is having difficulties of his own in getting the football squad going jight, but another week bids fair to have the nucleous of the team in good shape. Rev. Vitus Schuette, C. P. P.
