Of the series of entertainments given at the opera house this season noneare wore worthy of comment jand praise from the Times than those | given Friday and Saturday nights. The oceasion being the first state elecutionary and oratorical contest of students of academies and high schools. For the first night the contest was in elocution, and there were five con testants, viz: Miss Reta Noland, representing the Rich Hill high schools, subject, “Dead—name un known.” Miss Edna Doane, Butler high school, subj-ct, “Buzzard’s Point.” Miss Bessie Claxtou, Adrian high school, subject, “The Fate of Virginia” Miss Mabel Richardson, Butler Academy, subject, *The Am- ateur” Guy Lewis, Kansas City Ligh school, “The Soul of the Vio lin.” Hon. W. W. Graves, Wm. E. Wal ton and Rev Clark, of Belton, Pre siding Elder of this district of the M. E church south, were selected as judges and Rev. Inlow,of the Baptist church, presented the prize to the winner,—$25 in new silver quarters. Each of the contestants appeared at their best, and the manner in which they handled their subject challenged the admiration of the large audience present. But to be frank and do all concerned justice,it was readily to be seen that the con- test lay between Miss Mable Rich- ardson, of the Butler Academy and Mr. Lewis, of the Kansas City high schocls. Mr. Lewis is a young man with rare talent as an elocutionist and his easy and graceful manner on the stage and voice culture showed that he had received the very best of training. While this is true, Miss Richard- son has had equal advantages and when it was known that the students of the Academy had selected her to represent that school it was a fore gone conclusion that the pereon that carried off the priza over her would have to be something more than a novice in elocutionary attainments The judges were furnished blanks for grading the contestants and Mr. Lewis lost a few points by his mem ory failing him during the delivery of his piece, which gave Miss Rich ardaon the prize, $25 in bright new quarters. Mr. Lewis was awarded the second prize, a gold medal. ORATORICAL CONTEST. In the oratorical contest which came off Saturday night, there were three contestants: Miss Mary Requa, of Butler Academy, subject “The Republic.” Ralph Parker, of Kansas City Central nigh school, subject, “The New Birth of Japan,” and Jack Reavely of Rich Hill bigh school, subject, “The Gladiator.” Mr. Jack- son misunderstood the program and delivered a declamation. This of course cut him out of the oratorical contest, and only the orations of Miss Requa and Mr. Parker were considered. The decision of the judges was in jfayor of Mr. Parker. and the prize, a purse containg $30 in silver was presented to him by Prof. Starr, of the Butler public schoois. The sec ond prize, a gold medal, was given Miss Requa. The judges in this contest were Hons. C. A. Denton, T. W. Silvers and H.C. Clark. In the selection of judges for these contests Prof. Richardson was very careful to name menin whom the public had the utmost confidence, and who would do what they believed to be right and just in making the awards A mention of this entertainment would not be complete if Tres did not returns the thanks of those pres jent to Mrs. W.
