In the afternoon a brief concert was given by the glee club and orchestra in honor of - the guest of the day, Miss Wade, of the Presbyterian College, who, with Miss Long, accompanied the young ladles, added much to the enjoyment of the hour by singing one or more selec tions. I Immediately after the musical was over, the crowd betook themselves to the ball ground where a fast, snappy and quite close game of five innings was played between the first and second teams of the college. The score stood 2 to 3 in favor of tho first, when a few minutes before 5 o'clock the game had to stop as the young ladles from Char lotto had to hurry away to a train that was dead on time. If the fair visitors, BO or more in number, tnd occupying a special car to and from Davidson, en Joyed themselves half bo much as their gallant hosts enjoyed their presence the day was a most pleasing one. Many of the students followed the visitors out of town, as far as Cornelius and tramped it back on foot in order to give a second farewell to the girls. : At the Joint contest last, evening In Shearer Hall, tho three representatives from each oLthe two literary societies were heard in declamation.

Newton, April 27.On Thursday night the fifth annual contest, for the Philo mathean endoment prize, took place m the college auditorium. A very good audience greeted the young men, who were to try their powers of declamation for the society honors, and they were all well repaid for their attendance. The declamations were ail finely delivered and bespoke much study on the part of the young orators. Mr. Anderson gave King aAdolphus and Pctrouella" In t manner that was very natural and It was well rendered. His intonation and the adaption of his votoe to his different characters was fine.

As the au dience arrived they were greeted by the tour fair young ushers, in the blue and white colors of the society, who extend ed a hearty welcome and they conducted each one to a seat. These gentle damsels were Misses Anna Carpenter. Olive In gold, Lottie Klutts and Elate Moose.- Promptly at 8:30 the lady members filed to their seats in the front of the auditorium and were called to order by the president Miss Mary Heller. The roll was then called by the secretary, Miss Carrl.s Pennybaker, and each mem ber answered with a quotation from hor favorite author. Then began the real entertainment of the evening by an in strumental duet, under the manipulation of the swiftly moving fingers of Misses Lorena Conrad and Katie Webb, after which the first part of the programme was carried out in a most excellent man ner as follows: -'. v -, Essay, "Why Good Manners Should be Cultivated." Miss Kate Whttener. , , Vocal Solo, "If I Had Known," Miss Anna Row. ..... , "Doings and Undoings," ' Miss Daisy Carpenter. Piano Solo, "March of , tha Flower Girls," Miss Lola Howard. . - During the renditon of the last two pieces several of the society members had suddenly vanished from the hall, but their absence was noon "accounted for when the curtain roser for the farce The Greatest Plague in Life," the cast of which consisted ot the following char- Mrs. Bustle, Mary Schnebley; Mary Bustlo.

Mary Heller; Kitty Clover Mary Beaver- Miss Moonshine, Sarah MoCor. kle; Miss Bridget McGulre, Margaret boat; Hazy Black, Johnsle Lowrance Two draw any comparison between the n-anner in which the , different young ladies performed their parts, would be Impossible, as they all did so well that the audience was kept In roars of laughter from beginning to end. The College News, a weekly sheet got ten out by the society, and edited by Miss Annie Warllck, was full of local hits at the various students, and was greatly enjoyed by all, but most espe cially by the mal members of the In stitution. The recitation of "The Judg ment Day" by Katherlne Barrlnger, was most excellent Miss Lillian Geogre's "Pen Picture" was so vividly drawn as to leave little doubt in, the mind of her hearers that she was sketching their popular and much loved teacher of ex pression, Miss Leah Coleman, "To-morrow" was then beautifully sung by Miss Annie Warlick in her rich contralto voice, and as her tones filed, away upon the air, down the aisle to the stage cm swficrerlng the portly form of an old nsro mummy who clumsily mount ing the rostrum delivered, as only Miss Ji.-nrtetfa Klliian mnld, "Aunt Ane !. , r " " - "!

An Earnest Talk on the life of Faith By the Teacher of the Albemarle " Normal and Collegiate Institute. The need of the new building! for the Young Woman's Christian Associ ation was never more plainly evidenc ed than at the vesper, service on yes terday afternoon. The parlors were crowded with ladles who were anxious to hear the message of Miss Frances E. Ufford, Of Albemarle, and the rooms being so small many were unable to get where the speaker could be heard. Miss Ufford spoke on the life of faith, and Illustrated her words with Instances from her own lif o in - the noble educational work In which she has been engaged for the past thirteen years. She has carried on this work without any appropriation from any church or organization, and voluntary contributions from persons who have learned of the work have been the financial .support of the school. The students consist of poor girls unable to attend school elsewhere, and If room could be furnished the number now in the ; school thirty could be doubled several times. A new build ing is now in course of erection which will accommodate a much larger num ber of students,' Mecklenburg Pres bytery recently appropriated f 3,500 to this school. - Miss Uffiordls an Interesting speak er, and one who helps her hearers.
