This club though the youngest of its kind in the city seems to be leading in successful enterprises. They have been requested by a great many of their friends and well wishers to give an excursion to Marshall Hall, which request is likely to be complied with. The club has elected four trustees and are contemplating becoming an incorporated body. The trus- tees are Prof. F. L. Cardozo, T. J. Minton, R. C. Douglass and Wm. H. Bruce. They intend to build a ball and if they work on with such earnestness, and meet with such success in the future as they have in the past, there will not be many years before they sccom- plish their intention, and do that which men have failed to do be- fore them.

ScOTT WOOD TELLS SOME FACTS. HE IS ENTHUSIASTICALLY APPLAUDED. HIS MASTER ORATION COMMENDED. THE PRESIDENTS REMOVAL, &c. The Congregational church was packed Monday night with the friends of the graduates. Many and beautiful were the floral tokens of love and friendship, besides many of the graduates received val- uable books which will help them much in their professions. Mr. W. C. Martin received two volumes of Bauner’s Dictionary. Mr. Scott Wood was very fortunate in having presented to him ‘Benjamin on Sales” which is indeed, a valuable acyuisition to his library. At 8 p. m. to the beautiful strains of Prof. Krause’s music, the graduating class of 1886 filed in and took seats with their friends. Among whom were Senator Sawyer, Judge Price, Judge Allen, Col. James D. Brady, Hon. Robert M. LaFollette, Hon. John M. Smythe, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, together with Prof. Benja- min F. Leighton, Dean of the Law Faculty and President Patton. Prayer was offered for the suc- cess of the class by Rev. Walter H. Brooks. Address to the graduat- ing class by Hon. Robt. M. LaFol- lette, was a masterly effort abound- ing in good sound advice to the young men, who ashe well said, stood upon the borders of the grand- est possibilities, where the very angels beckon them on; his pero- ration was simply grand. The next in order was the conferring of degrees, but the program was changed, and brought Mr. Scott Wood who made the highest per- centage in his class and received the valedictory which also exclud- ed him from competing tor the prize. The question was asked why was the program changed? The solution which can be given is that Mr. Scott Wood, who was de- nied the valedictory in the college department of Howard University in 1883, but returned and captured it 1886. Mr. Wood claimed in bis well written and splendidly deliv- ered oration on the Legal Evolution of married women, that a certain class of men who have had control of Negro ed- ucation ever since the war has be- come tyrnanical and unjust to those who are completely under their control. Mr. Wood fully demon- strated by the high approval given him by the large and brilliant as- semplage of some of Washington’s best people. He was .applanded to the echo several times during the delivery of his oration, and whenever refer- ance was made to the injustiee done men by those who claim to be giv- ing the best days of their lives to the education of the colored race, the church rang with applause. Mr. Wood is well acquainted in Washington city and highly re- spected and loved by all who know him. He has made his way from poverty to considerable prominent for a young wan. And to remem- ber the fact that he isa legitimate product of Howard University and ashe claimed to have been so unjustly treated by those in author- ity, show that something is radi caliy wrong and should be righted, He paid « glowing tribute to th Law faculty. His valedictory wa indeed a rare treat. The autho ties of Howard University mui 4 learn to treat their students with : more respect and win their friend- ship, for it certainly lowers a man when he has to neutralize the state- ments of those whom he.has pre- pared. The most dangerous instrra- ments are those prepared by one’s self. The Bright case, the treat- ment of those young men by the Theological Faculty all tend to hurt the institution. If Howard University is ever to have thou- sands within its walls rather than hundreds, the adminisration must be changed. President Patton should step down and out, says Mr. Wood. The following named received the degree of L. L. B., most of whom were Virginians and will practice in the state. Mr. Whitte of Richmond won the prize, and Mess:s Bundy and L. J. Brown received honorable mention. Grad- uates: Scott Wood, L. J. Brown, Jolin H. Kinckle, J. F. Bundy, R. H. Merchant, E.B. Brown, W. C. Martin, Jas. H. Ricks, Arron R. Bridgers, Jr., Chas. F.
