The chief feature of thja evening was the sudden entrance of 200 or 300 law students, who had marched down town in procession, afler rendering Profs. Thompson and Knowlton an ovation.

The receipts of the fair association this year amounted to about $2,000, leaving a small deficit of $125.

The first accident by the Ann Arbor etreet cars happened alinost as soon as the cars were started. The president of the road was caught by the foot while attempting to stop a car and badly hurt. Immediately afterward, while the supreme ruler was hobbling toward a drug store, after árnica, the foreman's foot was caught and jammed in llke manner and form. Not being used to electric street cars, the president and foreman supposed the way to stap a car was to block it with the foot. The trouble is, an Ann Arbor man's foot is good foronly a five-toncar, and the new cars weigh seven. Better use the brakes. -Adrián Press. The public would feel grateful if the brakes were applied to the wagging tongues of Adrián democratie papers. The Argus in speaking of Jas. Gorman says: "He is the kind of a man to be proud of, and it is a long, lonij time since Washtenaw demócrata have had the pleasure of voting for a Washtenaw democrat for congress." Knowing Mr. Beakes, the editor, to be a sentleman, we can only attrtfonte such diculous words as " proud " and "pleasure" to his ignorance of Gorman's character. Many of the best and respectable democrats in tliis section who are well acqiiainted wiih him will not vote for him, we are pleased to learn. If Mr. Beakes really means what he says, he ought to have no trouble in "swallowing" the whole democratie " ring " as he calis it, as the moral character of either one of them is pure when compared with Gorman's. Editor Beakes, your reputation is too good
