Ann Arbor merchants make the offi-
cial announcement that, since the first
announcement. of Official Straw Hat
Day, over "400" straw dips have passed
across their counters and that over
$800 have passed over these counters,
but in the opposite direction. - This is
an indication that big things will be
brewing on Ma'y 16; for tho official
sleuth and archaeologist of the staff
has gone through the hidden chambers]
of sundry students and reports that
oodles of straw hats are lying in their
dark cocoons, awaiting the gentle call
of public opinion to blossom forth on
the gay avenues.
This story should should be written
by a necromancer or a soothsayer, The
author should be endowed with the
divine powers of glancing into the fu-
ture, and visualizihg the gala scene on
May 16. He should possess the
ability to see straw hats of ;v1ry
shape, kind, brand, color, height, price,
age and previous condition of servi-
tude. He should be able to cast sup-
posedly witty and humorous aspersions
on those persons whom he knows will
not appear 0. K.'d by Dame Fashion.
He should be able to draw a pulsating
and living picture of the gala mob
crowding about the election booths at
the Union, of the multitudes forcing
their way into Hill auditorium, of the
sea of humanity on the grandstand at
the Syracuse meet, and of the convuls-
ed, yet tensely interested mass of peo-
ple on the banks of the Huron-all in.
straw headgear.
But the author is not a necromancer
or a soothsayer, he is a prosaic pessi-
mist. And in spite of the promises of
the weatherman, in spite of his per-
sonal high hopes of being able to join
the merry straw hat throng, he sighs
deeply and--predicts rain.

Work Will Feature Today's
Exhibition
With the automatic register record-
ing 7,911 visitors passing through the
doors of the engineering building, the
second annual engineering exhibit end-
ed a successful day at 9:00 o'clock last
night. The number of spectators during
cert of the festival series given last
night. This oratorio consisted origi-
nally of fifty-seven numbers, but ow-
ing to its unusual length, it was re-
duced by omitting eighteen of the les-
ser divisions.
Of the work of the soloists, the male
voices easily surpassed the female. Es-
pecially deserving of praise is Henri
Scott, the bass, whose breadth of style,
technical command, and perfect famili-
arity with the score, insured a most
adequate and satisfactory rendition of
his difficult role. Hardly less admir-
able was tle work of Lambert Murphy,
tenor, wh6se rich, ringing voice was
especially convincing in the opening
recitative, "Comfort Ye, My People,"
and the following aria, "Every Valley."'
Margaret Keyes appeared to advantage
in the air, "He was Despised," while
Inez Barbour delighted her audience
by her clear and flexible voice through-
out the work.
The corus appeared to be unusually
well trained, reflecting great credit up-
on Mr. Stanley, whose conducting was
at all times marked by broad, intelli-
gent musicianship.
During the performance of the fam-
ous "Hallelujah Chorus," Mr. Stanley
requested the audience to rise ir defer-
ence to a tradition started in England
by the King, when it was first perform-
ed in London.
The long sustained, fortissimo pas-
sages were reinforced with splendid
effect by organ parts, while the orches-
tra which was the backbone of the
whole performance left nothing to be
desired. On the whole,- last night's
performance of this magnificent hymn
of rejoicing was entirely adequate. i

Necessitates Final -Weighing
in This Afternoon
With the usually placid Huron river
transformed into a muddy torrent by
the recent rains, onlookers will see un-
usually spectacular contests at the.an-
nual fresh-soph tug-of-war struggles
scheduled to begin at 4:15 o'clock this
afternoon, across the river just below
the Michigan Central freight station.
Loyal second year men turned out in
disappointingly small numbers last
night at the mass .neeting, but what
they lacked in numbers, they supplied
with "pep'" after hearing rousing talks
by Frank Murphy, Spencer Scott, Louis
Haller, Waldo Fellows, Walter Em-
mons and Edward Saier. As the sophs
are still 15 men short in their heavy-
weight team, and still lack 12 for their
lightweight squad, final weighing in
will be held from 1:00 to 3:00 o'clock
today at the gym to fill the vacancies.
The vacancies in the relay teams will
have to be filled by appointments by
the captains. Lists of all the relay
teams will be posted this noon in the
engineering building, gymnasium and
University hall.
Sophomores' will assemble at 3:00
o'clock this afternoon in front of the
law building, and freshmen will meet
at the flag pole at the same time. The
first tug, the lightweight struggle, will
begin at 4:15 o'clock, and the middle
and heavyweights will fight as soon as

Time For Meet
Coach Carl Lundgren will lead
nineteen Wolverine baseball men to
number that attended the opening day
last year.
The huge crowds were efficiently
handled by a large corps ofstudent
guides who conducted the visitors
through the buildings, explaining the
varfous displays. The number of
guides was not as large as desired,
however, and every junior and senior
engineer not connected withi the exhib-
it is asked .'o report for duty today.
Among the features of yesterday's
exhibit were the moving pictures on
highway constr-uction, a series of il-
lustrated h'cturres by, the foresters and
the various electrical displays. The
wireless sert"iee performed in faultless
style, and messages were sent through-
out the country, In the mechanical
laboratory nearly a quart of liquid air,
with a temperature of 200 degrees
Fahrenheit below zero, was produced.
The miniature electrical railroad
was in operation between tli econom-
ics building and the power plant, and
during the course of the day carried
several thousand daring passengers
around the 350 foot loop. In Prof.
Bailey's office was shown a singing are,
water boiling and freezing at the same
time in the same vessel, and other
scientific phenomena.
A portion of the exhibit which did
not receive the attention from visitors
that the display warranted, was that
of the chemical engineers in the
c h e m i c a 1 building. T h e practi-
cal, as well as the theoretical applica-
tions of chemistry were demonstrated.
Moving pictures of the making of ther-
mite and steel are shown in room '165.
Among the features of today's exhib-
it will be the pouring of moulten metal
in the foundry, and trips to the new
power plant, which will leave room 243
of the engineering building every 15
minutes. Owing to the influx of May
Festival visitors, a. huge crowd is ex-
pected to attend the exhibit today. The
displays will be open to the public un-
.i about 10:00 o'clock tonight.

Lansing tonight in an invasion which
will mark the first attempt by Wolver-
ine athletes'to avenge last fall's defeat'
on the football gridiron. The Wolver-
ines and Farmers are scheduled to
clash on the Lansing diamond ,on Sat-j
urday morning in the first of a series
of three ball games, the other two of
which are to be played on the Ferry
Field lot.
The game is scheduled to be played
on Saturday morning in the capital in
order that the Michigan men may catch
a train back to Ann Arbor in time to
witness the Syracuse-Michigan track
meet. For this reason the trip to the
Aggies' camp will be made tonight in-
stead of tomorrow morning.
Ferguson will probably be the coach's
choice for mound work. The lanky
youngster has had but a single chance
to show his twisters since the team hit
the Ferry field lot, following the south-
ern trip, and he has saved up all kinds
of speed and curves for use on the
chesty Agriculturists. Baer is sched-
uled to work behind the bat, with Hip-
pIer along as his first aid if necessary.
The regular lineup will probably be
seen in action, unless Captain Sisler
goes into the outfield to help the squad
out with the hitting proclivities.
The following is the squad as an-
