COLLEGEVILLE.

Rev. J.. Stack, Portland, Oreg., and Rev] J. J. Mullen, Chicago, and Rev. Patrick Fallon, Paris, 111., were late visitors at the college. Last Sunday, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, was a holiday and hence there were no classes. In the morning the students paid their monthly visit to the city. During the last few days those who were conditioned after the regular bi-monthly examinations were given special tests in those subjects in which they had failed. The gymnasium walls are now nearly complete and the raisers are now at work taking out the heavy beams and the building will soon have a natural foundation again. Though handicapped by the condition of the gymnasium, manager Fitzgerald has given the 'basketball candidates a thorough workout. There are tryouts enough in the field for two strong teams, hence after they have been simmered down to the required seven there will be a team on the floor * this season that will force former record breakers to look Askance at their ancient laurels. The schedule Is not yet complete, but negotiations, are in progress that will bring some strong teams tOithe local floor and that will give the college quintette hard fights when they wander into the enemy’s territory.
