The inclemency of the weather
knocked us out of a little base-ball
practice the latter part of last week;
but we wont grumble about it, since
it had been so fine up to that time.
As soon as it fairs off the men will
be out with more vigor and enthu
siasm than ever.
At last the University has secured
what we have long felt the need of, a
teacher of expression. He is Mr. Jno.
Cowan, a full graduate of the Bostoii
School of Expression. Mr. Cowan is
expected to arrive this week. The
instruction he offers is open to any
student of the University, and no ex
tra fee will be charged in 'connection
with it. Owing to the lateness in the
term, the work could not be arranged
so as to count towards a degree.
s The students will have an opportu
nity now that has before been wanting
in the University, and i tis to be hoped
that many of them will avail them
selves of it. The assistance Mr. Cow
an can give the Rep. Speakers and
commencement orators especially will
be valuable. The -Societies too may
get much good from him :
Let it be arranged so that he can at
tend alternately the meetings of the
two Societies.
Give him the function of a corrector
and let him criticise each speaker his
manner, his jestures, his articulation.
The men would not only have their
attention called to their errors, but,
knowing that the eye of a critic was
on them, would prepare their speeches
better than they ordinarily do.
We have talent in our societies, but
that it needs training, and needs it
badly, cannot be denied. Now is the
time for us to get that training, and
let us not neglect the opportunity.
the reading room door or the papers
are locked on the desks.
By the way, would it not be well
for the reading room to have two cop
ies of the News and Observer. This
paper is read more than any other,
and often it is difficult to get anywhere
about it for the crowds that beseige
it.
We mentioned sometime ago that
arrangements were being made by
which a correspondence was to be car
ried on between the various Colleges
of the South through the college pa
pers. The Red and Black, having made
the proposition, writes the first letter.
It will be found in another column.
The following is the order in which
the letters are to be sent out:
Red and Black, University of Geor
gia. The Tar Heei., University of North
Carolina.
The Orange and Black, Auburn
College.
Crimson and White, University of
Alabama.
The Hustler, Vanderbilt Universi
ty."." '
University , Record, University of
Mississippi.
College Topics, University of Vir
ginia.
This system of correspondence will
enable those who may not have an
opportunity of seeing papers from
other Colleges each week to know
something of their happenings
through their own college paper. The
etters will have the advantage of not
containing any local coloring, which
often makes the articles of a paper un
intelligible to those who are" not on
to the inner life of the college.
We regret to have to refer to the
practice some unknown persons have
of removing the papers from the read
ing room at night. Just as sure as
anything of great interest comes out-
Something that everybody wants to
read just so sure are they to be "swi
ped in less than twelve hours. Peo
ple who do this do not take into con
sideration the fact that there are some
who do not get an opportunity to see
the papers in the afternoon and would
like to read them the next day.
looks bad that the librarian should
have to keep the papers locked all the
time, but, unless this ugly business
stops, the library authorities ought to
see to it that either a lock is put on
Mr. Winecoff' Book of Sermons.
Rev. Mr. Winecoff, Rector of the
Episcopal church at this place, has
just had printhd for his own use ami
for the use of his friends, and his
brother clergymen a little pamphlet
of thirty seven pages on "The One
Catholic and Apostolic Church."
It contains ten chapters, being out
lines of some fifteen or sixteen ser
mons on the Church and the Sacra
ments. It is a true, strong- state
ment of the position and claims of
the Episcopal church. '
Mr. Winecoff was graduated
A. B. at Davidson College in 1890,
at the head of his class. From then
until 1893 he was in the Method
ist Conference, and during this pe
riod studied Theology for a time at
Vanderbilt University.
In 1893-he took the degree of A. M.
from Davidson. A year later he
gaye up the Methodist Ministry for
the Episcopal.
He was called to this Parish in
September 1896. Since then he has
been zealous in the work in his
church and among the students of
the University.
Mr. Winecoff writes as he preach
es, from the standpoint of an Epis
copalian and student of philosophy,
and his pamphlet bears the impress
of a mind that seeks for truth and
welcomes it whenever found.
The Universerty Press did the
printing, and the beautiful and ac
curate press work is a credit to our
University Press, as the subject
matter is to Mr. Winecoff.
Visitation of the Bishop and the
Meeting of the Convention.
Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire,
Bishop of North Carolina, made his
annual visitation to this Parish last
Tuesday night, and administered
the right of confirmation to seven
candidates.
The Convocation of Raleig"h also
lield its regular meeting at the
Episcopal Church here Wednesday
and Thursday, and gave us some
most enjoyable Services. Rev. S.
P. Warkins, of Hillsboro preached
Wednesday morning, and Rev. Dr.
I. McK. Pittenger, of Raleigii,
Wednesday- evening. On Thursda',
Rev. J. M. Horner, of Horner's
School, Oxford, preached in the
morning, and Rev. H. H. Barber, of
Burlington, in the evening.
The sermons were all clear and
forcible and went straight home to
the hearts of those who heard them.
The music too, was good, and every-;
thing tended to make the services
enjoyable as well as helpful.
Business meetings of the Convo
cation were held We'dnesday and
Thursday afternoons.
It is a rare privilege to have so
many able ministers assemble here
atone time. The good attendance
at all the Services, notwithstanding
the press of duties during the week,
showed that such an opportunity
was appreciated both by the stu
dents and the citizens of the town.
Let the Convocation come again.
"My task in life," said the pastor
complacently, "consists in saving
young men."
"Ah", replied the maiden, with a
soulful longing, "save a nice looking
one for me."
The Impression Made by Commons
on an Outsider.
It is with peculiar pride that the
students of the University watch
her steady growth and development,
both internally and externally, and
it is like music in their ears when
her friends look on and say, "Well
done."
Bishop Cheshire and the seven
Ministers who were attending the
Convocation dined at Commons last
Thursday, and their expressions of
satisfaction," not only at the fare but
at the neatness and systematic or
der in which everything was man
aged, were very complimentary.
They seemed to be. surprised to find
that so much could be given for so
little money a plenty of wholesome
and well prepared food, in a com
fortable and attractive place, served
by courteous and manly students.
They paid the highest tribute to
Commons ther could have paid a
tribute of which it may be justly
proud.
Pharmacy Baseball Team.
The members of the Pharmacy class
have arranged a baseball team and
herewith send forth a challenge to
any class from Fresh to Senior, whom
they will meet upon the diamond at
any fixed time. Mr. P. B. Webb Jias
been elected captain and Mr. "Dutch
y" Grouver, manager, The action of
this class is to be commended. If out
of sixteen men in the class they are
able to organize a team, other classes
can certainly do so. 1

BASE BALL.
Concluded from first page,
Stephens is probably the best
fancy fielder in college but is weak
on ground balls.
In general the Varsity and Scruds
both play ball at snails pace. Some
of the pitchers spend half their
time watching first base, and waste
time in various and sundry ways.
Team work is conspicuous by its
absence.
The players should put more life
into the game and avoid unnecess
ary mistakes, should pay strict at
tention to the signals and practice
the points of the game according' to
Coach Reynold's directions.
in judg-ement of fly balls and not
much at throwing.
Hearn is sure on fly ball, but
weak at the bat.
Woodard is too acrobatic, should
steady down. .
Donnelly chops when at the bat
is good in the field.
Vick is erratic in his appearance
on the field, is quick and throws
well, elicits much applause from
the grand-stand.
Inter-Society Debate.
The tenth annual inter-society de
bate between the two Literary Socie
ties comes off in the Dialectic Hall
