From a disinterested standpoint it must baye been a rediculous sight this morning to see the iceman stand in the middle the street and throw The Mail's little chunk of ice up against the building, about thirty feet away. But from an interested point of view it was decidedly serious piece of business for it almost required a shovel to pick up the several fragments into which the little lump was broken. But why complain? Others suffer likewise.

Thursday was a galla day with the double attraction of races and Barnam and Bailey's great show. There were thousands of strangers from the neighboring cities and surrounding country. The two performances, afternoon and evening, fully merited all that has been said of this greatest show on earth. The most wonderful part of all was the historical spectacle, "Nero, or the Destruction of Rome," the magnificence of which beggars description. The superb oostuming, graceful movements, and dazzling lights formed a picture that has to be seen to be realized and even then the spectator feels the need of an additional pair of eyes to grasp it all. There were thirty thousand people in attendance at the two performances.

Prof. C. A. Waldo and his party of tourists will leave for Europo on tht very first train after the closing of the Polytechnic, and will then have barely enough time to catch their steamer at New York city. The tour the party will make is one that Includes all the principal places in Europo that can possibly be seen in three months and will prove a delightful one. All arrangements have been made with a view to removing every care, and the entire Journey will be characterised by regular Nelly Bly simplicity. There will be no trunks, and the entire baggage will consist of one valise between each two boys. This means that there will be no surplus wearing apparel, and in »^t so limits each one that two suits of underclothing and one traveling suit will be all they can carry. Even the regulation long trousers will be done away with, and checkered Knickerbockers substituted. Shirt bosomsiind cnOs will be celluloid, and consequently easily cleaned* It is intended to do a great deal of walking,

and no time will be lost In enjoying so

no need of a large wardrobe. This simplicity will not be inaugurated until the party reaches Liverpool. There dress suits aud other luxuries will be cast aside. In securing Prof. Waldo for guide and director the young men have been very fortunate, as his previous travels in Europe and his wide knowl edge of European customs and history will prove invaluable to them.

Early Tuesday morning just as day Ught was dawning, notable wedding took place at the residence of C.C. Smith on south Fifth street. Miss Hsttie Smith, the youngest daughter of Mr Smith, was united In marriage Mr. John S. Talbott, of Denver. Only a few relative* were present, and these were the entire numl^eraware of the fact that

So clock Mr. and

Mrs. Talbott left for Chicago on their two weeks' tour. From Chicago they went to the St. Lawrence river, thence by steamer to the gulf- On their return, a reception will be tendered them by the bride's family, and then they will leave for their home in Dent er. The bride is very well known and popular among all her acquaintances. The groom is now assistant general freight and passenger agent on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, and be will be remembered as formerly being connected with the "Vandalia car accountant's office here.

The s*ate inter-collegiate field day at Indianapolis last Saturday-was one of the most pleasant occasions In the history of the state colleges. It was an especially happy day for the Polytechnic, for the Rose representatives carried everything before them, winning ten first places and six second places in the total of nineteen events. This glorious victory was entirely unexpected from the fact that the students here are compelled to devote so much time to their studies that they are able to do very little in the line of athletics as compared with De Pauw, Wabash, Butler, Putdue and Bloomington The contests won, the victors, and the records made, were: 120 yd. hurdle rsce—Stleg. Time 1#seconds.

Running broad Jump—Hanson. 18 ft. 9 in. Patting the shot—Hulman. 2T ft. 7 in. One-fifth mile bicycle—Hulman. Time 38 sec.

Running high jump—Layman. 5 It. 2 in. Standing high jump—Layman. 4 ft. 4. One mile walk—Mills. Time 8 min. 15 sec. Tug of war—Davis, Cook, Symmonds, and Ijelgfcty. «,

Tennis doubles—Gibson and Jones. Three legged"Tace—Gibson and Moth.

Wabash took six first' prizes and De Pauw four. The Polys were awarded the field banner and came home happy. Their special train, which carried about 200 persons, was profusely decorated and attracted much attention both going and returning. Their victory probably entitles the Rose Polytechnic tho optiou of having the next annual field day here, and if so, arrangements will be made to secure the Fair grounds and have the event not only better managed but if possible greater success in every respect than the Indianapolis day. The regular annual field day of the Polytechnic will take place on Juno 17th.,

The council mooting on Tuesday evening was made of special importance by the introduction of an ordinance to provide for the strict enforcement of the eleven o'clock and Sunday closing saloon law. Opposition to the immediate passago was encountered and a discussion was prevented by the majority referring the measure to the police board for consideration. The other principal feature of the evening was the adoption of the pawn and junk shop ordinance. This impose an annual license of $10 on pawn shops, junk shops and second hand stores and provides that the dealer shall keep a record of saleB and that no pledge, pawn or purchase be made with a minor, except rags und waste-paper, and not from any person between the hours of 8 p. m. and 7 a. m., nor from any person known to be a thief or convict. It is an excellent measure. A general fee and salary bill was introduced and adopted, the saving effected thereby being about $260 a year. The position of janitor for tho oity building was abolished, and the duties were added to those of the market master. The difference of opinion on successor to Joseph Sohell as superintendent of fire alarm was shown to have been overcome, Richard McDonald being eleoted over J. W, Harold by a vote of 8 to 4. Dr. M. H. Waters was selected school trustee to succeed B. V. Marshall. The colored population petitioned for a representative fire company. The petition was referred.

The race meeting this week was as predicted, a great success, for whioh thanks are* due the energetic members of the Trotting Association. Tho weather of each day was excellent, the Rav. Hicks to the contrary notwithstanding, and the result was that not only exciting races but record beating heats were the order or the programme. The track was. in prime condition, the grounds were well policed, and in all the meeting was satisfactory to everybody. The attend auce on Tuesday, ladies* day, was very flattering, but not so good as on later days in the week. Friday was city day and in consequence of

The ball clubs reooid during this week has been very good, but admirers would much prefer to see the percentage go up .002 than down that much.

country. Sunol "was given a fast heat and went to the quarter in 32*i, a 2 09 gait* Johnston WAS also given a heat and on the last quarter went in SIX seconds, & 2:05 gait. These are probably the fastest records made so far this year. Ax tell w#& shown to bri dim as he has not been movfcd out of & jog since his great mile last fall. Be will commence track work a boot the middle of the month and something great may be expected of him by fall. From a financial point of view this meeting was even a greater success than that of last spring. The total gate receipts were $3,40®, which will enable the association to come out a little ahead. r(r LrCJfSXSED 3X WEB.
