Governor Robert E. Pattison, in front of the capital. The battalion marched into P. S. C, Friday evening, at about a quarter of six. Tired in body but rested in mind the boys returned to their books. We wish to express our gratitude to Lieutenant Wolf for his kind, yet military and judicial treat ment of the boys while at Gettysburg and at the same time congratulate him on the success with which the entire affair was conducted. The P. R. R., Reading Road and Governor Pattison we a'so owe much for this peculiar privi lege and pleasure. And although we are not au thorized to say it, we believe ourselves under great obligation to Ex-Governor &aver, General Hast. ings and Dr. Atherton. For kind and generous treatment while at Get tysburg we are indebted and grateful to Drs. Mc- Knight and Wolf, Hon. William T. Ziegler and our guide Mr. Minnagh. Lastly we extend thanks to the boys of Pensyl vania college for our royal entertainment by them while in Gettysburg. Q E. D. HALL AND CAMPUS. To the foot-ball player, playing on strange grounds, there is nothing that gives so much en couragement as to find a loyal group of friends among the many spectators who are standing around ready to yell themselves hoarse for your opponents. Even if the group be small to hear their hearty cheer of encouragement to your own team makes it seem as if one had more at stake in the game. In all the League games of this year our team has been particularly fortunate in having just such enthusiastic groups present. At the Swarthmore gathe among the many friends of our college were Mr. Will Calder, Charles Downing, Charles Zink, Mr. Haley, Mr. Pratt and among the ladies were Misses Katie Price, Chambers, Haley, Righter and Coalhower. At the Franklin THE FREE LANCE. and Ma rshall game a more enthusiastic crowd nev er took possession, of a judges' stand than the one that came from West Chester. The navy blue and white was profuse in bows, rib bons and flags. The party was composed of Mr. Righter and wife, Miss Ida Righter, Miss Roberts, Miss Beck and Miss Coalhower, Mr. Chas. Downing, Mr. Geo. Roberts and Mr. Pratt. Mr. Will Calder was al so present and did noble work by the vigorous use of his lungs. At the l3ucknell game a more enthusiastic crowd never got aboard at Bellefonte and Lemont. Over one hundred persons went down from the College and Bellefonte to witness the game. Confidence in the home team to win the game was the one thing that made the spirits of the visitors run so high. The College yell rang out at every station along the route. Horns, canes with navy blue and white flags attached, streamers, bOws and ribbons were in galore. Among people from Bellefonte were Mr. W. Fleming, James Hughes, James Har ris, George Bush, George R. Meek, Charles Kurtz, Francis Speer, and Mr. Brew. The way the stud ents turned out and the hearty and loyal manner in which they cheered was a credit to the Institu tion. As to how the crowd returned I need only refer you to the score on another page. In whist circles lately, there has been introduc ed what is known as Duplicate Whist. As yet it is something new here and it has not yet been sufficiently developed to be fully appreciated. It claims to eliminate almost entirely the element of chance in the treatment of hands. This it does to a large extent but we question if it does it alto gether. The manner of playing it is very simple. For the four players it requires twelve decks of cards which are divided up in four boxes purpose ly constructed to hold them. Each player takes from his box which is on his left hand, the three decks and shuffles them and places them within convenient reach. The deal commences usually with the man on the west side of the table. One particular trump is selected for the evening. Thir-
