THE WASHBURN WEEKLY REVIEW. The Hallowe'en Entertainment Saturday night was heartily enjoyed by all. Many Hallowe'en sports were indulged in, and much amusement was created by the attempts to take a bite from the apple suspended from the ceiling, and by the raisins on strings. The hall in the Chapel was very prettily decorated, and the recitation rooms were used as refreshment rooms, witches' caves, etc. Miss Baum's charming recitation of James Whitcomb Riley's "Our Hired Girl" called forth an enthusiastic encore.

The Spanish songs by Mr. DeLeon greatly delighted the audience. They were spirited and gay, and richly merited the praise they received. Unique refreshments in keeping with the night were served, and large dishes of apples were placed on tables about the hall. The representation of the way the Freshmen carried their canes made quite a hit and was fully appreciated by most of the spec- tators.

Among the many fancy costumes were the following: John Clark as a street fakir selling copies of The Review for "all the late and popular Misses Jessie Guild and Lillian Sawyer as the old woman who went "to sweep the cobwebs from the sky;" Miss Mc-Adams with- very artistic decorations of autumn leaves: Misses Smith and Brockway in gauzy black spangled with silver stars; MissTunnell in white, representing an angel; Miss Maddocks and Professor McEachron in cap and gown; Miss Townsley as Ophelia; Misses Barnes and Bowen in Japanese costumes; Miss Bunn as Little Red Ridinghood; Misses Bishop, Chandler and Nelson were especially good in their representation of the three witches who revealed the future. College boys. Ottawa secured the first touch-down but Washburn was able to return the compliment shortly before the close of the first half. During the second half the wind went down refusing her support to Washburn who had then changed goals with Ottawa. If, towards the close of the game, either team possessed an advantage over the other it was Washburn with her faithful endurance.

Ottawa continually played for wind, taking out time after every play on some little pretext or other, and, in this manner, was the first half lengthened to one hour and thirty minutes. Ottawa's second touch-down was secured after darkness rendered it impossible for Washburn to distinguish one player from another. Being unable to see who had the ball it was no difficult task for the possessor to drop back into the dark and quietly trot around the outside and over the goal line. Ottawa admits that her second touch-down was not a fair test of football. This score however was counted and instead of touchdown to' touch-down the game when called stood Ottawa 10 Washburn 4.
