26 ' 'Ciba llnbeg A formation, and put up little bets on the outcome, only little bets, you know, quite harm- less, a box of Lowney's or a pair of gloves. And then all signs failed. The long victorious side was vanquished and the Wright- onians comforted themselves with the crust that at least they had one Hill which the Philadelphians couldn't surmount. The debate of '97 is memorable in that it proves the efficiency of grasping one or two strong points and hammering on them until they are driven in to stay. The instru- mentalists were both hampered with the mechanism of the Rubenstein Valse Brilliantef' Only when the emotions are untrammeled in expression is playing what it should be. The Philadelphian singer showed the ease in manner and expression which comes with long training. Her voice, however, hardly revealed the purity and fullness of her op- ponent's. The essays were both excellent. A broader theme and a simpler handling, perhaps, gave the point to the Philadelphians. Yet, after all, it is Fortuna. The ora- tions were able efforts. Both were on subjects near to the heart of every American. The recitations were 'again strangely alike, and both were delivered with power and feeling. ' The result of it all was that Philadelphia won everything, with the exception of the recitation. Miss Hill saved Wrightonia from a whitewash. High praise is due all the contestants. They worked hard and faithfully, and each acquitted himself so that none may not say-4'Well done. t O. A. M. CONTEST RECORD.

' INTERPRETATION.- Protection to our merchant marine by legislative action is the policy of artificially creating by legislative-that is, Congressional-enactments special con- ditions which are supposed and intended to be favorable to our own marine-1'.e., oceanic shipping interests,foreign as well as domestic-and relatively unfavorable to competing shipping of other nations. La1'ssez faire doctrine, as ap- plied to shipping, is the doctrine of letting trade interests work out their natural results without Interference or artificial stimulus or favors in any direction by legislative action.
