The half mile was run “neck and neck over the entire course by our man Enos and Case, of Granite City. At the finish Enos made a leap at the tape, but missed and fell under it, while Case managed to reach it. Eaton, of Edwardsville, took third. Time two minutes, seventeen and one-fifth seconds. Goudie’s time of twenty-three anti two-fifths seconds for the two-twenty yard dash made a new record for Madison county. Dial, of Granite City, came in second, anti Coulter, of Upper Alton, third. Varnum, of Granite City, won first place in the running broad jump by beating Enos a ciuarter of an inch. Proctor, of Edwardsville, took third place, the distance jumped being nineteen feet, eight and one-fourth inches. The final event, the relay race, w'as called just as the sun was setting. Our men knew that, if they won this, they would obtain the banner and relay cup. They also recognized that, if they faded, they had lost the day. Every man did his part, and Goudie gained about fifteen feet on his competitors, again which gave that much of a start to Enos. Enos and Herb both increased the distance a few' feet and Allen brought in the home stretch with a gooci lead in spite of the pain in his side. Well, we are quite proud of the banner and the cup. As the M. C. H. S. A. is now disbanded, we expect to keep them both until it is reorganized. Jos. E. Wrigiit, TO. OFFICIAL SCORE. Intellectual. Athletic.

The Debating Team James Coleman Clark Wells, Captain Fred McI'ikc Alton and E. St. Louis Debate. HE debate between the Alton and East St. Louis High Schools took place in the East St. Louis High School Auditorium on March 5th. The visitors from Alton chartered an interurban car and had a jolly time, both coming and going. The occasion was of great importance to us, as our team had never appeared in public debate before, while our opponents had won several contests. The question was : Resolved, That the Municipalities of the I'. S. Should Own and Operate Their Public I tilities. Coleman, our first speaker, g ave the outline to be followed by our team and set forth in a clear and forceful manner the-practical value of municipal ownership. When Bernard, the first speaker of the negative, came forth, all were astonished by his oratory: it could not be denied that he could speak, but he could also make “Much Ado about Nothing. Then came McPike, who gave his unembellished truths on the economical value of public ownership in such an emphatic and logical way that we rapidly gained ground. Brockmeyer, the second speaker of the negative, had some points on paper, and with the aid of charts he tried to make an impression, but expression failed him, and he became discouraged.
