A   12 THE KENTUCKY ALU1v1NUs. V
gl The first prize was awarded to the College of Agriculture and second '
it to the College of Mining Engineering. This event preceded the circus,  
j which was held that night. Really it was good to be in the " ’mongst" of
l such a crowd of old friends and schoolmates, and those who were absent _
lil can scarcely know what a good time they didn’t have just because they .
lll were not there.
