Miss Hood presided and made the . ppening address - and was followed by Miss Lindsay in a reading: entitled wTbe Legend of the Organ Builder."

Both speeches exhibited a won derful fund of information on tbe part of the young ladies and indi cated that they had put much study and research on the subject. At the conclusion of tbe debate, the judges, Supt. Joe S. Wray, of the public schools; Mr, Edgar Long, of The News, and Mr. J. W. Atkins, of The Gazette, retired to reach a decision. On their return Mr. Long, in a humorous speech which brought applause, introduced Prof. Wray, who announced the decision as being in favor of .the negative.
