DICKINSON VERSUS STATE.—The Dick-
inson college base ball team will play at
State College to-morrow afterhoon, Satur-
day, May 1st, The game will be called
‘at 2p. m: and State will try to. retrieve
the defeats she has suffered on the diamond
. already this season.
Immediately after the ball game the
first out-door athletic handicap meet will
be held, on Beaver field, for this season.
Quite a number of entries have been. made
and good contests are anticipated. The
admission to both events will be 50 ects.
At Princeton, last Saturday, she was de-
feated by the score of 11 to 1. . Not so bad,
however. when the acknowledged weakness
of the team is taken into consideration.
Just when the admirers of the blue and
white were feeling worst over her
shortcomings news came of the success of
her relay team at the great inter-collegiate
races in Philadelphia, on that day. This
is the second time that Staté’s runners
have won out in the mile race with repre-
sentatives of other schools of her class in
athletics.

Sunday. Some ill disposed person fired the
mountain Sunday morning about three miles

and fanned the flames into madness and by
noon the fire had reached the top and came
| down its sides ata galloping speed. From
four o’clock uiitil night the entire side of the
mountain facing Centre Hall was ablaze, the
smoke curled heavenward, while the wind
tossed the destructive flames in a thousand
directions and laughingly threatened to hurl
the burning embers into the very heart of
the town. Toward evening things looked
rather serious, when to the great pleasure of
all a brisk shower came in the nick of time
and*the flames were subdued. By night the
sight was one of magnificent grandeur. For
miles the mountain took on the appearance
of a great city on a hill with its thousands of
electric lights. Morning turned the. scene
again, when the whole mountain resembled
smoke stacks, furnaces, and chimneys sénd-
ing up a steady stream of smoke, others
a puff now and then and still others a
tiny little curl reminding que of the great
{ ado and little accomplishment of the advance
agent of prosperity. There is also a serious
