COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

Rev.. Ambrose Schumack, College Point, N. Y., Is staying at the college for a few days of quiet and rest. \At the last C- L. S. meeting thfe Hon. E. P. Honan delivered his first lecture on Parliamentary law and its use. The Aurora Borealis of last week captivated the attention of all the Btudents. For several days his kaleidoscopic motions were the fruitful cause of many scientific discussions.' “v"* There were no classes last Thursday. The boys spent the day roaming through the country In commem-

oration of Columbus’ successful sea roving habits, but no equal results were reported. Father J. Toujas conducted the services last Sunday. It was his first appearance in the college pnlpit, and his convincing discourse on charity towards all and hatred of none was highly appreciated by allRev. C. F. Daniel has arrived and taken charge of St. Augustine’s congregation. He spent the last few weeks traveling in the south-west and at San Antonia, Texas, he had the pleasure of meeting President Taft. The McGuerrenites again overcame the McArdleltes. It was a strong battle from first to last. Next Sunday the best from the two teams will play a game with the team of Rensselaer. The College Juniors again defeated the Rensselaer Juniors at foot ball Sunday afternoon. The game was fast and hard throughout, and the victors did not succeed in pushing the ball over their opponents’ goal line till the last minute of play. The C. L. S. celebrated their 17th anniversary by rendering a very delightful entertainment. There were orations and essays, serious and comic recitations, and dramatic exhibitions. The vaudeville stunt “Up and Down” excited repeated and hearty roars of" laughter. Especially natural and attractive was the acting of G. Pax, as the old German shoemaker. “The Cotton Scene,” an impressive stage picture, was real, artistic and enjoyable. To see it in these rough, cold days, made one’s heart yearn for the glad sunshine of sweet Dixieland. The music was furnished by the band and well rendered. Prof. A. Steger’s piano solo was received with great enthusiasm.
