BASIC-BALL.
U. N. C. 6.
DURHAM 3.-
The game between the Durham
Athletic team and U. N. C. , was
a great disappointment to almost
all. The weather was very bad
and the ground was wet, which
jnade difficult work for the pitch
ers. At the close of the first inning
a very dark cloud swept rapidly
over the sky and all ran for shelter
as quickly as possible.
The playing was not very good.
There was not much spirit in it,
and there were several very poor
plays. Most of these were due for
the most part to the bad weather.
The game was as follows:
j '" First Inning. Robertson
makes base hit and steals second;
Oldham flies 'out to center and
Robertson steals third; Gregory
makes a base hit and gets second
on a wild throw by Graham, while
Robertson scores; Gregory scores
on base hit by Lanier, who steals
second; Honeycutt strikes out and
Lanier steals third; Henderson
caught out on fly to first; Van Nop
pen hits to Stephens and is put
out on first; Andrews flies out to
Robertson; Jones gets base on
balls; error for Gregory and stolen
base for Jones; Morris makes base
hit and Wade flies out to Gregory.
Score, first inning, 2 o.
Second Inning. Kenan strikes
out; Stephens makes a base hit
and steals second; Stanley flies out
to right and Stephens steals third;
j Robertson makes first on error of
; the catcher; Stephens scores and
jalso Robertson on Oldham's hit
jto center fielder, who slipped, giv
ing him second, he steals third on
a throw to home; Gregory flies to
: center fielder, who falls again, and
! Oldham scores; Lanier is caught
out on a liner to shortstop; Lyon
flies. out to Kenan, Gammon to
Stanley, and Flowers strikes out.
Score, second inning, 5 o.
1 Third Inning. Honeycutt
hits a liner to third and is put out
I on first; Hendren hits to short
and out on first; Kenan makes
first by a fall of the shortstop,
which amuses all ; he steals second ;
Stephens is put out by foul fly to
catcher ; Kenan takes the box and
strikes out Johnson; Van Noppen
makes first by an error on part of
Lanier; Andrews makes a base hit
to left field; Jones makes a fine
hit to center, and Van Noppen
scores; Morris strikes out; An
drews scored on a balk, and Jones
goes to the second; Wade hits to
Stanley and is put out on first.
Score, third inning, 5 2.
Fourth Inning. Stanley
makes out on foul fly to catcher;
Robertson makes a base hit to
center, which is finely stopped,
and then steals second; Oldham
fouls out to catcher; Robertson
then makes the poorest play of
the game in trying to steal second
when the ball was thrown to the
pitcher; Lyons flies out to Stan
ley; Gammon strikes out, and
Flowers is put out on first by a hit
to the pitcher. Score, fourth, in
ning. 53
Fifth Inning. Gregory hits
to short and out on first; Lanier
hits to third and out on first;
Honeycutt flies out to first; Lanier
gives Johnson base on balls; Van
Noppen hits to Lanier, who throws
to Gregory, who in turn throws
to first in time to get out both men.
This double was decided the best
play of the game. Andrews makes
a base hit, and Jones is put out on
first by a hit to Gregory. Score,
fifth inning, 53.
Sixth Inning. Hendren
makes a two-base hit to right and
steals third; Bailey strikes' out;
Hendren scores on a sacrifice,
hit by Graham; Stanley makes a
base hit and steals second; Rob
ertson flies out to left; Morris
makes a fine base hit over third,
and Wade makes a base hit to

Gammon makes another hit to
Lanier, but Morris is put out at
home; Jones hits and Wade is put
out at home; Lyons scores on wild
throw by Lanier, and Flowers
strikes out. Score, sixth inning,

LECTURE.
Mr. Hubbard, of the "Peace
Society," spoke on "Arbitra
tion" in the chapel on Friday
night. He showed how mind
could overcome brute force; giv
ing many examples where this
had been done. Therefore mind
was superior to brute force and it
should be used in settling our
difficulties instead of war, which
he showed to be one of the most
terrible of evils. The lecture was
both interesting and instructive,
and we are very sorry that space
will not allow us to say more about
it. There are several prizes offered
for the best essays on this subject.
There will be more about this
hereafter.
KING HENRY IV.
PART I. N
A large crowd, composed of
students and town people, turned
out last Monday evening to hear
Mr. Hannibal A. Williams, the
Shakspearean reader, render King
Henry IV (Part I).
The speaker was introduced in
a few graceful words by Dr. Hume,
who reminded us that our daily
life is so full of ills, of examina
tions and professors that it is well,
occasionally, to turn aside and
enjoy an evening in the company
of the great master, Shakspeare.
Mr. Williams then proceeded to
give a short analysis of the play,
showing the relation of the King
to the House of Percy and the
place of these in history, also the
relation of Prince Hal with Fal
stafF, and the place of each in the
story. The King is a dextrous
flatterer and .full of all cunning,
but of a noble mind and high
powers, and is the chief force of
the play. By a graceful transi
tion the speaker passed to the first
scene. His manner is easy and
quiet on the floor, not burdened
with gestures. He represents to
the life different characters, but
does it all by the power of a won
derfully flexible voice. He had
no aid of stage scenery or costume,
but spoke in simple full dress, yet
succeeded in bringing out vividly
the characters of the play, perhaps
more vividly because there was no
stage accompaniment to distract
ones imagination.
The second scene was prefaced
by a short characterization of Fal
stafF, Shakspeare's best humorous
creation, one unique and distin
guished from any other character
of fiction, who could never be put
into a hole, who was never so at
his best as when at his worst, who
would not give a reason upon com
pulsion, but had ever an explana
tion ready for every fault, the
lying braggart, coward, whom we
none of us admire, yet cannot help
but love. Prince Hal is the poet's '
favorite, and upon him he show
ers all the" qualities of princely
manhood. He avoids the idle
formality of the court to mingle
in the low, rough society about
Eastcheap in order that at a later
time he may win greater esteem
by fulfilling a promise that he
never gave.
Mr. Williams was best as Fal
staff, and his presentation of that
portly reprobate produced great
laughter. The text was' artisti
cally expurgated so that little of
the humour was lost, and alto
gether the entertainment was most
excellent. We are glad to wel
come among us an artist of such
decided power.

c;lee club.
. The Glee Club has been train
ing hard under Prof. Harrington
ever since the Christinas holidays
for the Spring tour. On next
Monday the Club will leave to
give concerts in Raleigh, Wil
mington and Newbe'rn. So far
the reception tendered the Club
has everywhere been very favor
able, and we trust we speak not
amiss when we say that it has
very much improved since last
term, and that the entertainment
offered will be satisfactory to. really
critical audiences. Many new
songs will be sung, chosen mainly
from the new Yale and Harvard
songbooks, which are delightfully
modern in style and sentiment.
