The college boys and girls are Evening up things iu the old capital. Yes we wish that some of Lan caster's merry bachelors were here to see the pretty college girls, and then the other sets could be dee-lighted too if they were nere. rney would make Bill Jones, Eugene Elliott and everyQ set ot young bachelors anil widowers "sit up nud take notice". Come to the State fair and see. Prof. S. M. Busby's sciieol opened at Shandon on the 21st. Prof. Busby has a fine school and b>?th teachers and pupils are doing a good work. A new building will be erected lor this school, which is much needed because oi the c.owded space and large enrollment. The Hyatt Park High School opened on the 14th, a week ear lier than the other scnools Profs. Banks and Cook are ranch pleased with the outlook. This school too is overcrowded and new desks had to be ordered. A high school department will be added soon, as it was voted on thiu week. The city schools can hardly accommodate all of the children who applied and "more room" is asked for. The colleges opened under bright, prospects. About 1000 students, over 300 in each ot the tluoe colleges. The scribe has not seen all of the Lancaster delegation yet, but they are here. The "Capital city" has been quite lively this week. Last Monday Gentry Brothers' Dog and Pony Show was here. They gave fine exhibitions, it is said, as they always do. Those who attended were taught several lessons by the clever "stunts" of the dumb beasts. Then the bill at the Columbia Theatre was exceptionally good. Among the attractions were A1 G. Field's Minstrels, "The Lion and the Mouse", a s'rong play, a negro show lor negroes only (except the ushers and those connected with the Theatre), Bert Hudsou and ''Chicago" Sandow in a wrestling mutch, and the week closed with a great hit, Norman Hackett in "Classma'es." Then the three moving picture and vaudeville theatres had excellent bills Those are "The Little Grand", "The Lvric'"and "Fairyland". At the "Little Grand" was a man called the "Human Fish" whofwas said*to - ? ~ ~ eat, drink ..:id smoke under water. As an advertisement for him self he did the "high dive slunt" three times during the week. He dived off the Stile newspaper building, three stories high, into f^jr feet of water. Gre.it crow* thronged there each time to see him and on Saturday it looked like fair week around 'lie piace where he gave this exhibition. The wrestling match was said l THE LANCAS' to bo great. Hudson won tt<e match but was thrown by S tnd<>w once, the first- man to throw | him in Columbia since Hudson, alias Ackerraan, made his ini'iai appearance here over a year ago. Hudson or Ackerman will tackle the great "Demon", Fred Birte. j next Friday night.
