...annually by the Municipal League for the best essay on a subject connected with municipal government.

...well adapted to extended treatment, and the effect of this movement is one of strength and sustained power. The adagio seems at a first hearing more rhapsodic, although there are episodes of beauty and imaginative power.- Mr. Hancock possesses an agreeable voice, carefully cultivated; his enunciation is particularly distinct. He entered well into the spirit of each song in his group. Mr. Locke's "Song of a Dream" exhibited a sustained lyric mood, with an admirably varied accompaniment.

The main difference in the appearance of the English shell from those built in this country is in the arrangement of the thwarts, which are placed in two distinct alternating rows. The advantage claimed by this arrangement of the seats is that greater and longer inboard leverage can thus be obtained and a firmer grip made upon the water by the consequent shortening of the outriggers...
