The paper sa ys of them: "The Chequamegon Band, a section of the Ann Arbor college band, whieh arrived last week, have treated the hotel guests and our citizens, to some delightful eveniug concerts lately, which all appreciate. The band is composed of students who come to spend the summer, and they are all line niusicians as well as cultured gentlemen. Manager Brown made a ten strike when he secured the young gentlemen for his hotel." In looking over the price lists of the publicutious of a Chicago book house we notice the folio wing books edited by professors in the University of Michigan: "Kant's Critique of Pure Reason," and "British Thought and Thinkers" by Geo. S. Morris, Ph. D.; "Preadamites" and "Sparks from a Geologist's Haramer" by Alex. Winchell, L. L.
