One thousand "University of Mich-'

printed especially for the engineering
exhibit Thursday, with which wireless
messages will be sent free of charge
for all visitors to Detroit and neigh-
boring cities having wireless stations.
Arrangements have been made with
the Marconi company to deliver the
messages promptly at their destina-
tion point.
A powerful searchlight constructed
by the electrical department will flash

One of the features of the engineer-

spreads itself out over the plains for

OPERA CHORUS
REDUCED FOR
CHICAGO TRIP
Mediums and Eight Other Performers
Ehiijmated at First
Rehearsal Held
Last Night.
BLACK FRIAR'S PRODUCTION
INCITES PLAYERS TO ACTION
Entire Performance With Exception of
Orchestra Will Be Staged
Tonight.
Men in the medium chorus of "Con-
trarie Mary," as well as eight other
chorusmen, will not make the trip to
Chicago with the Union opera May 24.
The cuts were made last night at the
first rehearsal held in preparation for
the Chicago performance.
A second practice has been called for
7:00 o'clock this evening, at the Union,
at which time all men who were una-
ble to be present last night on account
of the Choral Union- rehearsal will be
required to be in attendance.The mem-
bers of the cast and chorus will re-
hearse practically the entire perform-
ance, but the orchestra will be given
a respite in preparation for next
week's extended rehearsals.
Bert St. John, director of the opera,
conducted last night's practice session,
and found his proteges nearly as pro-
ficient as they were two months ago.
A special effort will be made to polish
the performance into creditable form,
because the Michigan show will take
place in Chicago only two weeks after
the Black Friar's production, and the
management desires to outdo the Win-
dy City thespians.

lR T 5 USE OF SLEEPY HOLLOW
At a meeting of the cap night com-
rmittee of 27 sophomores at the Michi-
gan Union last night it was decided to
make the annual event more spectac-
ular than ever before for the benefit
of the visitors who will be here for
the interscholastic games. The cele-
bration will be held Friday evening,
May 23, and in general the plans are
the same as last year including the
march to Sleepy Hollow from the
camn)us. The way will be lighted as
before with red lights.
At the meeting last night R. E. Wol-
eslagel, '13D, who is in charge of bon-
tre arrangements divided the commit-
tee into three squads of nine members
each to solicit merchants for boxes.
'he city has been divided into three
districts and a complete canvass will
be made. Permission has been receiv--
.xd from the police for merchants to
save boxes, contrary to the city ordi-
nace and the Women's League has
granted official permission to use
Sleepy Hollow.
Arrangements for speakers, yellmas-
ter, and songs are in charge of John I.
Lippincott, '14, and the program will
be completed this week.
