RIOTOUS SCENE AT GLASGOW UNIVERSITY

At^the graduation ceremony at Glasgow 1 University on November 21 a most!extra ordinary scene occurred. It appears that because the students took advantage of this ceremony in April last to be more noisy than usual the Senate agreed to hold the ceremonial in the Randolph Hail, which is only capable of accommodating about 150 persons, and to keep out the students altogether. ■ This action was resented, and the students besieged the entrance and clamored for admission. The professors as they passed were hissed, and opprobrious epithets hurled at them, and no sooner had they entered the hall than the students made a rush for the door. A scene of] utmost confusion then prevailed, and a struggle commenced between the under graduates and the officials who were assisted by several of the professors, but ultimately the doors 1 were closed, and the surging mob left outside. Principal Caird attempted to open the proceedings with prayer, but an assault was commenced on the door, and the students made the professors aware that entrance was to be forced. It was only after twice stopping that the Principal was able to finish the prayer, and though he began the capping ceremony the noiie was so great that the ladies present began to get alarmed. The oaken door withstood the heavy blows directed against it, but the stained glass panels running along the top were smashed to atoms, the broken glass falling on the professors and officials inside. A battering ram was then used against the door, and after some minutes of heavy assault the upper panels gave way. jhi» caased a stoppage in the capping ceremony, which had meanwhile been going on in dumb show, and the audience were evidently much alarmed as to what would follow should the students succeed in gain ing entrance. A few of those present left the hall by another door, and a way of escape being thus provided the ceremony was continued and brought to , a conclusion. The students failed to force the door,' but through the broken panels drenched the defenders with water k kept in reserve for the extinction of fire. During a pause in the attack an official of the Students' Union endeavored to appease the crowd. He laid the blame of the attack on the first and second years' students, and said that the Union was not responsile for the disgraceful disturbance. He pointed out that they should have protested to the Senate through the Students' 'Representative Council. As the members o! the Senate left the hall they were hooted and hissed with the greatest energy by the large body of students. /-'■■'

AXTELL THE KING OF TROTTERS

One mile in 2m. 12s. is a great feat for. an aged horse at any harness gait. When it is done by a three-year-old stallion at a trotting ! gait, it means a record that wjll stand for many a day. It means the acme of physical endurance, courage, and all tbat goes to make % king of aU horses. The event brought out a crowd as large and enthusiastic as ever a perfect Indian summer sun shone upon to wtiness an event seldom seen in a life-time, the attempt of the great Axtell to beat the three^year-old record { 2m. I3^s) held by the California: filly Sunol. When brought out tor a warming-up heat, he moved with such freedom and determination that few thought the record would stand, but that he would knock ifg seconds^from it the wildest enthusiast did not dream. Williams nodded for the word at the second attempt and the great fight was begun. The first quarter was reached in 33secs, the clip was made faster to the half in im SJ^secs. Thirty-two and one-quarter was the gait at the three»quarters post. With never a falter he breasted the hill and turned into the stretch. A shout goes up, " He will do it J He will do it 1" On he went without a wabble or a false stroke, he finished the mile in im rzsecs. Thus at one stroke he reduced the three-year '<pld record, i#s,, also the records- for stallions stallages. .Pandemonium then broke loose. The-,;Stjcteh -was black,, with a shouting, yelling mob. Williams* was taken from the sulky and borne aloft on shoulders, and cheer £fter cheer went up for the gallant colt and

driver. Colonel Couley of Chicago then purchasad the great trotter Axtell for 105,000 dollars. This is the h ghest price ever paid in the world for a horse of any description. The 105,000 dollars pufchase money is supposed to have been made up by Messrs Brush and Moran of Detroit. Cclonel Conley or Budd Doble, and W. ?. Ijams, president of the Tcrre Haute Racing Association
