Vol. XLII. Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon, Tuesday, May 0, liHI5. HIGH-CLASS SPRINTING. ! 0. A. C. Won From Columbia in Saturday's Track Meet ' Kelly Kouldn't Kut'er. Althougbt the total score of 87 to 17 in favor of the home aggreV gatioa shows a very one-sided contest in the track meet between OAC, and Columbia University, occurring here Siturday, much interest throughout the afternoon was maintained. It was con ceded in advance that the general result would favor OAC, but an ever-present fear possessed the partisans of OAC that Kelley, ' the plucky and capable athlete of Columbia, might begin at any time to do some wonderful things; and. there was among the visitors a tenacious hope that he would Js.euy nad been Heralded as a wonderlul sprinter and all-round athlete, and his, performance in the recent indoor meet at if ortlana was suca that all were compelled to acquiesce in the possibility of the powers claimed for him. Kelly is, indeed, young man of varied athletic qualncations, and it is not to his discredit that he failed to take first place in any of the sprint ing events last Saturday. The truth is that he was up against as hard a proposition in the runs as could ie selected on the coast. The first event called was the 50-yard dash. Three OAC men and two Columbians went to the scratch. The throng of specta tors vainly endeavored to ascer tain which one of the boys in white was Kelley. It finally be came known that the leader of the visitors was not entered, and there was evident relief. To the home people it seemed likely that the stars of their favorites would not in this event suffer, a total r eclipse. At the report of the 'T'Starter's pistols" the boys were off, : and they .flew down half the course in "close formation." : When they began to separate, it I could be seen, to the surprise of all, that the three collegians led the University boys, , and so it was at the finish, Williams first, Smithson second, Graham third, ) and the locals received all that was coming to them in an ovation. Time .on 2-n. a remarkable re cord. . Next came the half-mile run, and still Kelley did not come to the starting line. This " event1 held unusual interest. Greenhaw, (OAC) took'the race in 2.07 2-5. Walsh, (C) second and Van Clever (04C) third.. . . ;; Tbjerejwas an excited murmurr when lhe 100-yard dash was call ed, lin this event the Columbia favorite -was to appear and it was known that there would surely be' something doing, between Smith son, Williams and Kelly. - Be4 tweeh them it was a close race, and it was a toss-up who should win until within a few feet of the outcome when Smithson took . a slight lead of Kelly, with Wil liams a close third.

It-was a great race and from the standpoint,, of jth atWete.;it was the best, under ,tjhe;.;cjrcuint stances, which eyer occurred on the coast, being run as it was over an ascending track and against a strong wind in 10 seconds flak Incidentally it may be stated that on Saturday last: in aa all-California tryout at Berkeley to select men for the Iewis and Clark Ex position games the best time made in the sprints bear a close sinii iarity to? thsit'7'iihu& fiiUb.10 'Par sons, of the University 'of "So'tith era Califotaia at'X,ds Arigeles7itf the tryout worr the1 moo -yard dash in just -th time-naaei hereby Smithsonj iq,.)

This is the coast secord, and up on the local field was the result of probably the most exciting run which has ever .occurred here, al though Kelly was so hopelessly beaten near the outcome that he gave up.

The Recital. , The piano lecture-recital given by Prof. Taillandier in college chapel Friday evening for the benefit of the Village Improve inent Society was a success. The attendance was good and ap preciation ot every numoer was apparent. The professor was assisted by his pupils, Miss Louise Smith, Adah McDonald and Irene Sproat, and they all did very nicely. In the brief lecture that preceeded the musical numbers good judg ment was evidenced in the selec tion of subject matter and the remarks pertaining thereto. In the lecture only such mat ters as could readily be under stood by the average person,. were touched upon. While to a well informed, musician there was nothing new in what was said, ! it was of a nature to instruct and interest a , class of people, who though fond of music have never made it the subject of especial re search. : " During the course of the re cital Prof. Taillander made ex planatory remarks before each number. Of the work at ; the piano one can only comment fa vorably of the pupils. Save the D minor concerto by Mozart the program was made up ot num bers, which, while of minor im portance ; were nevertheless in structive and pleasing. ; The solo pail 01 luis cuutciiu was kbuci- ed by Prof. Taiflandef. Taken1 as a whole, it was unusually well executed, and is a repartoire num possess. . , Miss Glanville took the' orchestral' -'part on - the second piano .and her work, was good; she reallyedidiexeeuently. When one considers the limit ations :bf!ah.e,Tpiajn'cf Mozart's time it is marvelous the number of( gems he? bequeathed, to future pianists. Works that he leftareat this day, and will be for all time, f worthy of tne closest study; de serving the high place they have gained, and commanding alike the attention of professional and amateur musicians. - Prof. . Taillandier closed the program wifh " the .concerto, splendid number, well done, and he malcontent himself that the evening' s work was good credit able t&alU T fjf- , .' Mrs. B .

Norris and Rowe's Greater Cir cus Secure the Sugimoto Japanese Women Troupe. ' One of the most exciting and thrilling of the many arenic features with the Notris and Rowe Greater Circus is the act of the Sugimoto Japanese lady acrobats. These lithe, sinewey, graceful daughters of the Mikado are . expert swordswomen . and fencers, in addition to being ex cellent gynmasts. No other circus , traveling has a troupe of Japanese women. They are very hard to induce to come to this country and it took Norris and Rowe's Yokahama agent nearly a year to pursuade them to make the trip across the Pacific. ,The appearance of the Sugimoto troupe is a very pleas ing one. These demure, pretty Japanese maidens are attired in picturesque kimonas, pure silk with beautifully wrought .figures that seem to stand out with life like fidelity. ' Quickly discarding these gar ments, their beautiful figures are revealed in red trunks and white tights.. Then begins a most bewildering display of strength and ; agility in the expert exer cises of the , sword and rapier. As there are six of the young women engaged at once in these exercises, the effect can be imag ined. At the conclusion of this portion of the entertainment, the young women go through acro batic feats, posturing, juggling and contortion. The Sugimoto Japanese maid ens will be seen in the street parade and grand entree in their native jinrikshaws drawn by Japanese coolies. They are so quaintly attired, so picturesquely pretty and doll like as to almost seem as if they had stepped from the pages of an illustrated book of Japanese legends. This is but one of the innumberable happy surprises the Norris and Rowe Greater circus has prepar ed for their patrons when they appear at Corvallis, Wednesday, May 10 at 2 and 8 p. m. ;" ' Albany Won. Our school boys played the Albany High School chaps a game of baseball in that city ast Friday and were, deleated after a pretty good struggle. The Herald gives the following ac- connt of the game: The Corvallis high school base ball;; team came' over' yesterday afternoon and met defeat at ' the hands of the Albany high school boys by a score ; of ;Ti to gj. in an interesting game at Rambler park. The two teams, lined up at :'1b. o'clock, and ,ih the! first mnmg each made three runs.'.'. In the .. second Corvallis again had three - runs wlifle Albany only scored one and the friends o the local, team became alarmed. . For time - Coivallis had an easy time of it, but after a few innings the Albany players got a,'lme on the Corvallis pitcher' and after that it was Albany's game -with ease. " . "Slats'' .
