Church. on Felicity street The exhibition was no
less entertaining and beautiful as spectacle than it
was gratifying as an evidence of the continued adj
vanceuent Of education in that section of the city.
The church was densely crowded in every part prl-
pills, in their gayest ATTIRE with ribbons and rosettes
occupying the pews below, and the ladies occupying
the galleries. Gentlemen had no chance to see much
The church was too small by half but there is no
larger accommodation for such an exhibition in the
Fourth Districts nobody had right to complain.
We were not fortunate enough to get seat within
hearing distance Of the exercises at least Of the
feminine portion Of them, consequently we cannot
partcularize the merits Of each performance, as it
would have pleased US to do.
The exercises were opened with an invocation to
the Throne of Grace by the Rev ]. B. Walker. They
then progressed in the following order songs being
given at intervals, and with the greatest sweetness
by the High School girls l 5$53l.

The best recitation was that of Master Columbus
Deacon on & The Republic It was captally given;
was frequently interrupted by applause as if it had
been speech at political meeting and at its CON-
clson drew forth perfect storm of bouquets from
all parts of the church, Next in merit was tie
address Of Master Puryis jenkins, in behalf of the
Fourth District Lyceum and Library. He also re.
ceiyed an abundant shower Of roses Ali those, in
fact who took part in the exhibition, were honored
with bouquets, in proportion to the enthusiasm they
excited for, as this is the season Of flowers, nearly
every spectator carried bunch and it was pleasant
thing, at the close, to notice how completely the
young ladies' and gentlemen had gathered them
some of them coming out with their fragrant trophies
piled chin-high.
The composition Of Miss Dora Z. Richards, entitled
the q Real and the Idealn we were enabled to hear
partially, and to discover that it was sweet poetic
production, beautifully read.
The sword-scene from Shakespeare" The Anger
Of Kent was very cevery rendered, both in speech
and action, by Masters Wang, johnson, Green and
Norment. %
