              a small attendance saw the practice game between lehigh and the temperance club on the ath letic grounds yesterday the game was quickly played and was devoid of interesting features a number of changes have taken place in our team of late but little opportunity was afforded to judge of improve ments resulting from the changes jackson besides pitching a good game distinguished himself by his timely batting one of his hits being a home run over the fence smith fielded well and mcclung caught his usual good game trying his hand at pitching in the last inning temperance's three runs were made on combinations of errors and lucky hits lehigh scored one run in the first inning from a base on balls to peck and fumbles of infield hits jackson's home run netted them another in the second four more runs were added in the third on three hits and two errors lehigh failed to score in the fourth and fifth but added three runs to her tally in the sixth on five hits and a couple of wild throws chances for further scor ing in this inning were thrown away by stupid base running three runs were added in the eighth and two more in the ninth on good batting by lehigh com bined with poor fielding by the temperance team ferguson ' 94 umpired a good game the following is the summary lehigh tempeeance innings earned ruus lehigh 1 temperance 1 two base ints bray 1 fox 1

in any way in terested in the subject of electricity the lecture to be given by mr kennelly before the electrical en gineering society saturday even ing will prove very interesting and instructive the lecturer mr a e kennelly is a standard au thority upon alternating currents and stands in the foremost rank of electrical scientists he is an eng lishman by birth and began his electrical career in the service of the eastern telegraph company ; while with them he discovered the method of testing cables which is now almost universally employed later he became electrician to mr edison and afterward consulting electrician to the general electric company mr kennelly is now associated with prof houston in philadelphia dents the lecturer will also treat of the alternating current in a gen eral way it is very seldom that the lehigh man has the opportu nity of hearing such a well known scientific specialist as mr ken nelly and those who can find time will do well in attending the lecture the lecture saturday evening will be on inductance and will be of such a nature as to be readily understood by all technical stu lecture and juliet a delightful talk on romeo another large and enthusiastic audience greeted dr coppee last tuesday on the occasion of the second of his shakesperean lectures his subject was the immortal trag edy of romeo and juliet and his discourse was one of the most ap preciated he has ever delivered the lecturer then concluded with some good advice to the audience dr coppee quoted as a prelimi nary to his lecture the famous words of a contemporary writer " that whatever men learned in schools and*colleges they should in addition become acquainted with polite literature which is current coin in all social circles he then went on to say that the story of the feud between the princely houses of the capulets and the montagues was in one sense as well known as the war of the roses and our own great rebellion and yet the story of romeo and juliet is merely legendary and fictional while the others are based on historical facts the doctor then analyzed the drama and told its origin and plot he declared that romeo was a very susceptible young man and showed what is generally left out of the stage plays that he had been des perately in love with another young maiden named rosalind before he met the fair juliet at the instiga tion of his friend he went to a masked ball at the house of the capulets uninvited and there as soon as he saw juliet he became enamored of her at this point the lecturer described the scene be tween the two lovers at the ball and afterwards he read the famous balcony scene he showed how many obstacles and plots there were in the way and how they accom plished their purpose by strategem and were married at friar law rence's cell the doctor then read the parting of the lovers and imi tated the speech of the common and vulgar old nurse he then told of the duel between romeo and tybalt in which the latter is killed and how juliet by the advice o^friar lawrence in order to escape her parents request that she should marry count paris drinks a potion which causes a sleep simulating death her body is carried to the vault and there romeo having missed the messenger sent by the good friar to inform him of the ruse goes and sees what he supposes is her dead body he then sees count paris and slays him and afterwards drinks a deadly poison but just as he is dying juliet awakes and has no other recouse except to take her own life buried however in the same tomb their death caused all former strife to cease between the two rival houses the glee and banjo clubs give a concert at easton next tuesday south bethlehem pa april 19 1894 vol i no 27 calendar thursday april 19 — electrical engineering

example of romeo and kill themselves freshmen baseball in spite of the many drawbacks of which the freshmen complain with regard to their baseball team they have organized a nine which with proper practice should reflect credit upon their class and should develop good men for next year's ' varsity team several games have been ar ranged and others are being nego tiated on saturday morning the team will play the junior civils and on april 28th it goes to pennington there has been some difficulty in arranging dates with the lafayette freshmen but these will probably be agreed upon within a week there are several good players in the class and they should come out daily for practice what the team needs is financial support and the class should be able to give this without much difficulty hood as catcher is a good man he bats well is a good thrower and is steady behind the bat brady will probably pitch ; he has fair speed but needs more control of the ball senior's work at first base needs no comment ; at present he is slightly hampered by a sore arm it is still undecided as to who will play second base ; fisher is a good man but he has failed to put in an appearance at practice while roeiker has been practicing steadily for the position if wal lace does not return to the varsity he will probably cover third base ; while he is an excellent outfielder his work in the infield is steady and often brilliant the position of short stop will probably be filled by stack who although a trifle slow in getting the ball to first rarely misses a chance he is also a fair batter . the outfield is still open and several men are trying for those positions captain chas mer will probably occupy centre while gunsolus serrell marck russell and thorn will contend for the other two places in the field agora the . regular meeting of the agora literary society was held in christmas hall on monday even ing at 7 o'clock the subject for debate was should united states senators be elected by
