AT THE GYMNASIUM.

What the Workers Are Doing For Exercise.

Work in the Waterman gymnasium is being conducted at present by Dr. Rabetsky in the absence of Director Keene Fitzpatrick who is expected back from Boston next week. Dr. Rabetsky has started up the track men to do preliminary work until the director arrives. The students are taking to the work with great enthusiasm. Some of the boys in their off hours are doing some wonderful fancy work, such as walking on their hands, human pyramids and other feats of particular strength and agility. A new game termed human nine pins, by the popular Janitor Perkins, has been introduced. It consists of nine pins being placed in position on the floor, and then 10 or 15 students form a circle and join hands. They pull and haul until some unfortunate stumbles over the pins knocking them down, after which the game is again repeated.
