The mechanical laboratory is now in complete running order, and it is found that eyery partiële of room is needed. The molding room or foundry is totally inadequate to the demands upon it.

The finishing touches have been put on the cases for the Chinese collection which entirely encircle the south wing of the Ui inl Moor of the museum building.

The manner of display ing it is also commenable. To see some of the producís of Chinese skill will make Americana open their eyes a little, perhaps. THB KASTEBN CONTEST. Boiiine was beaten in the intercollegmte contest last Saturday. The New York World, in lts report of the contcst says that Bonine and an eastern runner, who was defeated by Bonine last year were handicapped live feet In each of öve struggies for the 100 yard championship for sturting ahead of the pistol shot. It appears from the World's report that after the second morning there was a disregard of the rules by the starter, wlio made a pause before he flred the pistol. A knowledge of the rules of starting led Bonine to expect the shot to follow in regular time, the two first waraings, and the eastern man, who has asserted that Bonine should never win an eastern contest agaln, to insure the success of the jockying irick, started with hlm when they both were called back and started the second time five feet in the rear, between the othercontestants. On the next start those In front of Bonine closcd in shutting him in the rear and the contest was draggcd out in the abominably poor time of ten and onehalf seconds, a record that has been repeatcdly beaten by Bonine in Ann Arbor. It has even been asserted by those who know bis agility bost that he can beat ten seconds by a quarter. Mr. Boniue, however, denies the truth of the above account which is given by the N. Y. World. He says that everything was fair and straight, and that he lost the race by reason of becoming prostrated and losing control of nis limbs when the race was about half finished. He had won a trial heat, coming out fur in advance of his coinpetitors, and had started in in the same manner in the race, but nervous exhaustion caused him suddenly to lose control over his limbs and so he lost the race. Mr. Bonine also says that everything about the contests was fair and honorable, and he has no fault'to find. General regret is everywhere expressed at the outcome.
