From the Hartford Courandt, July ISL
The usual comm ence ment exercises OF Trinity
College, took place in Christ Church yesterday. The
day was very favorable, lear and not unc0mfort-
tendance Of the members aud friends Of the CJllege
was quite good. We noticed on the occasion the
presence Of Bishop Hopkins of Vermont with Bishop
Williams, and p Of Hitchc 'ck Of Bovdoin College.
The speeches we unusually good, characterized
by much maturity Of thought and elegan Q of COM
positi,n. The elocu ion OF the young men was 81
pef1or, owing, IN great part, we presume, TO the
excellent training they have received from Prof
Russell.
