Regular $emi-Monthly Exercises on Friday Afternoon of More Than Ordinary Interest.
'Life and Adventures" of One of the Professors.
To enliven the day a plan somewhat different from that followed when many of Terre Iiaute's young business men were attending school there, has been adopted.
Before each of the grades (there pre, of course, four in the High School) are sent to their respective recitation rooms to lead compesitions, an "entertainment is given for the benefit of all in the session room.
A regular part of the programme on such occasions is an address from some one ot the teachers, and some litera work by two members from each class.
Yesterday afternoon Mr Howard Sandison. assistantant superintendent of schools, delivered the opening address. He spoke of the "Departments of the Government."
Many of our citizens who remember Mr. Sandison's addresses before the Normal school, while a pupil .there, will recall his quiet, earnest manner, his just appreciation of his subjects, and his easy, graceful, logical manner of treating them. The deepest interest was taken in his remarks.
The next thing on the programme was a song by Misses May McEwan and Hattie Fuller,
Following this was an essay by Ovid Lawrence, which evinced thought and careful preparation, and was highly creditable to that young man.
The sensation of the day wras an essay by Miss Ida Ensey, recounting "THE EARLY AND LATER LIFE OF MR.
VALLENTINE,"
In the course of a number of years of very successful action as teacher in the public schools, Mr. Vallcntine, like many other instructors, has at times illustrated points by instances in his own life.
His young and wayward days and how he came to grief on account of them have, of course, been held out as warning to the lazy and indifferent boys. The differences in school facilities of these and earliear times have also received attention. All of these things given out in short scraps from time to time, Miss E. has garnered in her memory and yesterday gave the result of her compila tion in a very amusing and highly entertaining style.
Strange} to say, that part regarded as the most interesting was thitherto unwritten and unspoke history of
THE ROSE COLORED DAYS OF THE PROFESSOR. John Patterson son of Judge C. Y. Patterson of this city, read an amusing essay on the Centennial. He started out by stating that, although people may not be fully aware of the fact, this is Centennial year. Ho could not, as a loyal upholder of the stars and stripes, allow such an important event to come and go without a passing notice.
He then, (instead of giving the usual and oft repeated accounts of the dimensions of "Main building" and "floral hall" and the "women's pavillion" etc., and wind up with 4th of July oratorical pyrotechnics) launched out regardless of space or time and bounced, like the man with seven-league boots, from continent to continent. He tarried awhile in Egypt basked, for a time, under the soft, sunny skies of Italy gave China a little dig under the fifth rib tweaked the noses of •veral bloody old Neros of present and past ages, and continued on this strain, without ever so much as mentioning the centennial, until the close, when he- re-J marked that all these things proved the* utility of such exhibitions. The humorous idea was so well sustained, and the surprise was so complete, that the essay won—what it was intended to elicit—a hearty laugh.
Another interesting exercise was a dehate on the following subject: "RESOLVED THAT THE FORM OF GOVERN
MENT HAS AN INFLUENCE ON THE LITERATURE OF A COUNTRY." Mr. Francis Woodward affirmed, and Miss Minnie Neal denied the truth of the' proposition. After an interesting argument 011 both sides, an abstract of which we regret there is not space to give here, the decision of the judges was rendered in Miss Neal's favor.
On the conciu.-ion of these exercises the classes retired to their respective recitation rooms.
The Fifth Ward Ballot Box. [To the Editor of The Express,] The following item appeared in The Express the morning after the election.
FIFTH WARD,
"Through some inexcusable blunder or willful design the ballot box was kept back until 9 o'clock, the idea evidently being to prevent Republican voters, railway employes, from voting. But as there were a number of trains going out about that time they were all held, and most of the men got their votes in. The custodians of this box would do well to rise and explain.

Sonic Sharp Shooting- for the Championship of the World.
THE MATCH.—ITS OHJECTS—THE PARTICIPANTS—THE SCORE—THE RESULT —THE SWEEPSTAKES SHOOTING.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel. The weather yesterday was not propi tious for visitors to the Exposition gronnds interested in witnessing the match for the championship of the world and the Eng lish badge, but it was first class for the sportsmen themselves. Better shooting can always be done on dull, cloudy, moist days, when there is neither wind nor sun. If the day had been bright, there would have been a much larger at tendance at the grounds, but as it were, four hundred were on hand. They were amply, repaid for the journey through the rain. Yesterday's programme was a match between Capt.A. II. Bogardus, of Illinois, and Wm. Gwynne Price, of Wales, Great Britain. The captain had already carried away the colors over the head of Mr. Price at
A HOTLY CONTESTED MATCH
in England two years ago, and since then r.iey have been in the captains posession "this side of the water, and yesterday's tournament made no change in their location. They remain in America and are likely to for years to come, as long as the doughty Bogardus retains a pair of keen eyes and steady nerves. The match yesterday consisted of 100 birds, 50 to be shot off according to the Esglish rules at 30 yards' rise from five ground traps yards apart. The remainihg 50 were divided as follows: Fifteen pairs at iS yards rise, and 20 single birds at 21 yards rise the latter to be shot off in accordance with the Prairie Club of Chicago. S, H. Phillips, of Illinois, was selected as referee and W. A. Morrison, of this city, scorer.
Result of the first test was as follows:
FIFTY BIRDS.
G. Price, 36 A II. Bogardus,42. FIFTEEN PAIRS.
Next came the double bird rise at iS yards, American rules. Result as follows:
Price 21 Bogardus, 24. TWENTY BIRDS. The match closed with twenty single birds at twenty-one yards. Resu as follows:
Price, 15 Bogardus, 19. The game was thus closed in favor of the matchless caption of Illinois. Alltests considered he had won by twelve birds, just ten more than he scored when he shot last, in 1874, in England, against the same Mr. Paice, and the presumptiod is tha our distinguished foreign visitor had no reason to think his old antagonist had degenerated in his pigeon killing propensities, Mr. Price is thoroughly English in his style. He comes to the stand very beliberatelv, takes a kind of preparatory dress parade aim, then lowers gracefully and aims for fi.-e when the trrp is sprung. His adversary, on the other hand, shoots with an easy, oli-hand abandon, his whole manner indicating great :elf-^rpssession. This constitutes the secret of his wonderful »uoo«ec. in spite of his defeat, Mr. Price shoots very splenidly, and showed his pluck by announcing "his determination to compete for the envied badge again, after the challenge now held by Bogardus from Talbott, of New York, has been satisfied. To-day the captain will give the most brilliant exposition of his skill. He will shoot from a buggy going at full speed at birds on a double Vise, Mr. Price giving him the advantage of five yards.
