A delightful reception was given
a few evenings ago at the residence
of Mr. A. L. Hull, and all who were
present pronounced it one of the
pleasantest events ever enjoyed.
One of the ptincipal features of the
evening was a lecture by Prof.
White, on the subject of “The Land
of the Midnight Sun.” In his in
imitable way', he illustrated it by a
number of photographs. The Re
roKTER is certain it voices the wishes
of all the students when it expresses
the hope that Prof. White may de
liver in public soon a number of lec
tures on such themes as his exten
ded travels make possible.

lie list of candidates for Cham-
a debate in the two Societies con
lies to swell, and the prospect is
,t the contests will be almost as
iting as the Anniversarian elec-
tir i just decided. In the Phi Kappa,
ssrs. Hardwick, Wright, Willi-
1, Stew-art and Lawrence, are as-
ants for the position : and Messrs,
y, Estes, Miller, Hawes, Pope and
A. Davis are all willing—even
ter—to tackle the trio chosen from
lie Phi-Kappa’s, on the Saturday
night of Commencement.
The contest for the Anniversarian’s po
sition was renewed in the Demosthenian
Society this morning. The candidates had
been busy during the week, keeping their
old support and, where it was possible, ob
taining new votes. After the regular pre
liminary exercises, tiie election came up
under the head of unfinished business.
Mr W. E Thomas then arose aud made
a graceful speech iu which he stated that
in view of the fact that with three candi
dates in the race an election was impossi
ble, he would, for the salee of harmony,
withdraw his name. This announcement
as well as the noble sentiment which in
spired it, was liberally applauded. The
balloting then proceeded amidst deep in-
ti-aest, and resulted as follows : Little 41.;
Brand 31. The announcement of the re
sult was received with great applause. Mr.
Little was then called upon and responded
in a few well chosen remarks. Thus end
ed 4. contest which for good feeling and
warmth, has probably never been equalled
in the history of the University.
A few nights ago, a party of sere-
traders consisting of Messrs. N. R.
Broyles, B. C. Collier, W. D. Ellis
and others proceeded forth to dese
crate the midnight air with such
songs as “Fly ou the Wall.” Hav
ing selected Prof. White as the in
nocent object of their attentions, the
partly proceeded thither aud for
some time, by the melody of their
combined efforts, drove off from the
Professor’s mind all thought of
Nitroge^ Tetroxide, etc. After
much persuasion, the musicians
were induced by him to enter and
partake of the hospitality (espee-
iallvthe bananas) which his kind
ness furnished them. It is said
that tile above young gentlemen in
tend to go into the serenading busi
ness permanently, but we may sug
gest that all of their expeditions
may not be as pleasant and lucrative
as tlig first.
