Boylston Prizes Awarded.

At the final trial for the Boylston prizes in elocution held in Sanders Theatre last night, a first prize was awarded to R. Wellman '03, and second prizes to O. G. Frantz '03, L. P. Hill '03 and H. W. Bynner '02.

The speaking was even in excellence and in several cases very clear and effective, but no remarkably good work was done. The selections were sufficiently varied to be interesting and hold the attention of the audience. Wellman's rendition of "The Vagabonds" was a natural and consistent piece of dramatic speaking. By the quality of his voice and the pose of his body he put a great deal of feeling into his work. Of those who won second prizes, Frantz spoke "The Extract from Lincoln's Second Inaugural" with sincerity and impressiveness. "The Truth of the Gospel" by Hill was especially clear, natural and earnest. In giving "Wyatt's Harangue to the London Crowd," Bynner was equally successful on a different type of speech, his delivery being animated and vigorous.

The judges were Professor Emerton, chairman; and C. F. Adams 2d '88, Samuel Hoar '67, C. Grilk '98, H. W. Foote '97, R. C. Bolling 3L. D. C. Campbell '02, presided.
