Course is increasing. The large crowd was highly entertained.
The programme was in three parts. In the first of these
Maro was the height of mystery. He made nothing become
something in no time. A second glance! Ah, you were fooled
again,—it was nothing still. Since Maro was occupied with
those on the first floor, observers in the gallery could see a few
movements not intended for the eye. Nevertheless very many
other rapid movements were noticed by no one, and mystery
was the result.
The second part of the programme proved Maro to be an
impressionist artist of no mean skill. His musical novelty,
" the Javona," came as near to a pipe-organ in richness of
'tone as is possible with instruments in which sound is not pro
duced by wind. The music produced on the " Gogglepeg," a
one-stringed instrument, suggests, as the next " less " article,
—the stringless banjo.
When Maro again became the magician cards no longer re
tained fixed spots. They changed at will. In every number
he was all that his managers claim—and that is a good deal.
The foot ball game with the Pittsburg professionals has been
cancelled. The status of the case is as follows : Early in the
spring Pittsburg twice offered $5OO for the game and State re
fused. October 26, 'O2, Pittsburg offered $l,OOO and 40 per cent.
of the gross gate receipts and the offer was accepted, condi
tional upon the sending of a bond to State to guarantee pap
ment. Pittsburg agreed to send the bond, but delayed in
sending the bond and then offered $5OO again. Of course, the
offer was refused.
The customary Thanksgiving dance will be given by the
senior class on December 5, 1902.
The first Friday after vacation was chosen, because previous
arrangements had been made by ttie junior class for holding
their banquet on the only other possible date.
As this is the last dance which the present senior class will
give, it is their aim to make it the most remarkable social
event ever held heile, and a large attendance is expected.
