A notice is up announcing the senior lit election, to take place in Room A, next Saturday morning. From "the political aspect" we can prophesy a warm time. The rush beiween the medies of '89 and '90, Saturday morning, lasted about three houre, neither class winning a goal. Both are confident of viciory the next time they meet Dr. Vaughan has lately received some improved and beautiful apparatus for use in the study of bacteria, a branch of investigation directly bearing upon the germ theory of disease. The School of Music announcesa special course in calisthenics, to be given under the direction of Mies E. E. Garrigues. The daas is designed especially for ladie?, and ehould have a full attendance.

Under a re organization, the University Chemical Society wili hold ita ürst meeting Friday evening, this week. All members of the pharmacy department and everyone interested in chemistry, are invited to be present. J. D. Hibbard, who has been "laid up'' for some time at the "Sig" house, on account of a 6prain received while playing foot-ball on the campus, is much improved, and kas accepted a position as mechanica! engineer in the Davis Steam Heating Co., of Chicago. It ia reported that, contrary to the strict laws laid down on the subject by our last legislature, several of the students have indulged lately in spearing game fish. Should this continue, we are liaDle to have some lively fishery disputes. Never mind ; Fish Commissioner Angelí lives here, and he always stood by the students. Dr. George, who has lately been added to the faculty of the medical department as assistant in Materia Medica, bids fair to eclipse some of the older professors in popularity. So popular have his leetures and quizzes become that many of the upper class mea are taking advantage of thia opportunity to review the subject. The hoaieops of '88 have elected the following class officers : E. W. Ruggles, president ; Mis M. Cook, vice president ; E. A. Darby, treasurer; D. J. Sinclair, eecretary; Miss L.

Dr. Lyster, of Detroit, a gradúate of both 1 terary and medical departmentg of this University a ecore of years aeo, was in town Monday and was present at several recitations.

Argonaut : The Cfaoral Union wiü give no series of concerts this year, unless it be the proposed chamber concerts. To insure the success of these and to have the project taken into consideration, a sale or pledge of at least tbree hundred season tickets, at $2.50 each, must be made. The number is limited to four hundred. Mr. Cady hopes that all who have received invitations will reepond promptly. The seniors] are preparing ior class election, and the probabilities are that a long and bitter titruggle will be engaged in. The fight will be between the fraternities and independents, and wbich side will win cannot be foretold. Among the fraternity men we hear the names of Miller, Cole, Mann, Hawkes, Mitohell and Lee mentioned as possible candidates, while the independents are talking about the good qualities of Kiskadden, Rosenthal,.Boyle and Brown. Argonaut: Friday evening occurred the annual spread given by the sophomore girls to the freshman and upper class girls of the literary department. Mrs. Stowell, who had kindly opened her tasteful and elegant home for the occasioD, was as usual the ideal hostess. Some iwo hundred young ladies were present, and the variety and beauty of costumes, mounted by soiiiing face?, bright eyes, and waving locks, cons-tituted in the words of tbe poet, " perfect rose-bad garden of girk" Tbe laws Ure enjoying a good laugh at tbe expense of Prof. Rogers. List Monday he began quizzing the juniors and as name after name was called no one responded. The profeBSor informed them that if they failed to respond it would count again8t them. Once in a while when the name Smith or Brown was called a tcore or more would et up, but when the initiaU were given all would refiume tüeir eeat. Tois little episode was , continued for three daye, when it was dicovered, thai the assistant librarían had copied the names of the juniors of '85 6, instead of '87 8, as he had been asked to do by Prof. Rogers. The Chicago Tribune, in speaking of the exhibit sent to the Chicago exposition by the mechanical engineering department of this TJniversity, took occasion to make some highly complimentary remarks on the merits of the work of this department, and to pronounce it by far the best of any similar exhibit there. This compliment, in its application, is a substantial tribute to the professors and assistauts who have this department in charge. The various pieces of the exhibit will be left in Chicago lor a few days and be displaved st the meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. and alo bsfore the northwestern society of American Eagineers now holding their meetings in that city. The following club courls, in addition to the Koowlton club court, have been organized for the ensuing year: TranaMississippi club court meets on Monday evenings, at 7 o'elock, in the ;' quiz room;" M.

The event of the week was the foot-ball game between '90 and '91, which reeulttd fr a victory for the former class. Notwithstanding '90 numbered only about one huudredmen, while the freshmen mustered about one hundred and thirty, the sophomores won two straight goals. Soon after dinner the members of the two classes began to ssemble, aud by two o'clock the campus was literally black with studente and citizens who had assembled to witness the freshmen's defeat, as it wcs conceded it would be. In the game last year the present sophomore class defeated the then sophomore clas?, and as the class rtill oontained its best athletes, there was reason for thinking that they would not allow the freshmen to down them. Before the game was called gome sophomores started the song " Down with '90 just now," and to offset this bit of sarcasm oü their class the freshmen started the song "Hang the sophs on a sour apple tree," which was taken up by all their friends. B. L. Mahon, lit '80, acted as referee, and A. C. Kiskadden acted as umpire tor the eopbomores, while J. E. Duffy, lit '89, acted in a similar capacity for the freshmen. The ball was kicked off at 2:40 by the eophomores, and in just eight minutes they had won a goal, without any great effort. At 3:20 the ball was kicked off for the second inning by the sophomores, and for an hour and a half the two classes swayed back and forth until '90 finally sent the ball over the line, and by so doing had won the game. ______
