Field Day-Prizes, Contestants and Winners. The members of the University track team were out on Davis field Wednesday afternoon in fine shape for their field clay exercises. Every man showed up well, and although the weather was bad, each contestant did good work. The following prizes were offered by the leading business houses of Columbia to the winners in the different contests: A college watch fob, by Bailey Clothing Co., for the hundred-yard (lash; a .straw hat, by Scruggs & Bailey, for the two-twenty run; a collar and cuff box, by Edmunds, for the four-forty run; a pipe, by W. V. Abbott, for the hammer throwing; a bathing suit, by Mc Master, for the eight-eighty run; a Waterman's Ideal fountain pen, by The State Co., for the high hurdle; a hat, by Copeland, for the mile run; strong box, by the Southern Scale and Fixture Co., for the high jump; a Carolina pennant, by Pinkusson, for the shot put; a box of socks, by Evans, for the broad jump, and a hat, by R. L. Swan, for the pole vault. The contestants and winners were as follows: The hammer-throwing, Allan Paul and Hoyt Watson. Allan Paul, putting the hammer 91 feet, won. The hundred yards, Luther Hill, Monckton, Dudley; Monckton win ning, Hill coming second. The eight-eighty, Danner, Tem pleton, Moore, Weathers; Danner winning, Templeton coming second.

The high jumn, Dudley, Elzey, O'Neal; Elzey winning. Although the contestants did well, Carolina should have more men interested in and cap)able of enter ing these sports, and it is hoped that when field day is held pext year there will be many more contestants than we have this year. Old College~ Magazines. From The State, April 28. In a short talk to the College edi tors Tuesday evening Professor Snowden showed them a College magazine which is thought to be the oldest published in the Southern States. He said : "It is, as von see, a qneer little octavo pamphlet of 40 pages in brown covers, has no advertisements and bears the modest title, 'The Col lege Magazine.' You can search from cover to cover and you will fail to discover what college; none of the eight articles hints at it, and the printer's imprimatur, 'Charleston,' on the title page alone shows that this protagonist among Sot hern publi cations of the kind is the venerable College of Charleston. With that sublimated modesty which has char acterized that college and its alumni since 1790, the names of the editors are not given, and the contributors sign only a single initial. One of the brightest articles in Vol. I, No. 2, is 'Loose Thoughts-By a Tight Lad.' "So far as I know the first student publication in the United States was 'The Harvard Lyceum,' issued in 18 semi-monthly numbers from June, 18io, until March 1811. This was followed by the 'Harvard Register,' issued in 12 monthly numbers from March, 1827, until February, 1828. "The students of Brown Univer sity issued the first number of 'The Brunonian' in July, 1829, and it last ed until March, 1831. The 'Yale Literary Monthly' was published in 1836, and was possibly Yale's first student publication. Columbia Uni versity (then college) did not have a college magazine until 186o. "How long the anonymous little student publication in Charleston lasted no one knows, bu't it is grati fying to know that so early as 1830 Southern students wrote love stories, and 'swallow flights of song;' at tempted book criticisms and occa sionally laughed at their high browed professors in their own mag azine." Al! once you bloomed as a beauty fair And then you loved me true, Since then my heart sank in despair, Deceived, mocked, scorned by you. Memory lingers with me, sweet lady, Some things past I cannot forget; I could never thy grace, thy charm, From my memory reject. Dear Janie, my broken heart Still longs for you, Even though a cautious start, Brings condemnation anew. Would that some day you could love me And only consent to be mine; My hopes, ambition would realized be, To lavish in 'love like thine. Rejected, give me the vial; Never can I live alone; Death, calm dleath, ove,rtake me, Turn my heart to stone. The dleanl of men at the Univer sity of Illinois has forbidden the practice of men paying the class dues of the women. The catalogue of the University is out and can be procured from the president's office. This time the catalogue was edited by Dr. Edward S. Joynes and it shows strikingly his handiwork, being the most com plete edition that has yet been issued. College Seal Jewelry We have a nice assortment in jewelry bearing the Seal of the University of S. C., consisting of rings, watch fobs, pocket pins and stick pins. These goods are very popular with the jnen of all the State Universities, and should grow pop ular here at Carolina. We are headquarters for college men's fur nishings. e-c. BAILEY CLOTHING CO. Y. M.
