the purpose of which was to raise
money for the athletic fund. The
eram was vare,l interesting, and well
prepared, consisting of boxing, wrestling, games, dances and music.
First on the program was Mr. Bart-let- t,
who amazed his audience by his
daring work on the high bar. Among
his stunts were the "fly away" and
the "giant swing" which are seldom
seen outside of a professional performance. Later on he gave an exhibition of .his prowess on the parallel
bars and was equally as good at this
as his former act.
A wrestling match between Benson
and Magregor was the. next feature.
The time allowed for this match was
eight minutes, and the two heavy
weights grappled with each other until the time was up, without either
man winning a decision.
Margaret Parrish, in a quaint,
dress, delighted the audience with her dancing of "Dixie."
This dainty little lady, as she danced
to that good old southern tune, completely won the admiration of all who
saw her, and she is Justly deserving

The UnirTsity of Kentucky will be
unable to increase its faculty the com
ing scholastic year, owing to the fact
that it is about $150,000 short of what
is actually needed, according to Uni
versity authorities.
About $470,000
was appropriated for the use of the
University in the coming fiscal year
by recent legislation. This fact was
made known Monday afternoon when
the executive committee of the Uni
versity met and approved the budget
with minor changes for the fiscal year
beginning July 1. It will be finally
acted upon by the Board of Trustees
at the next quarterly meeting, June 1.
A considerable increase in the student
