the college building upon Mount st. James, in
this city. The weather was delightful, and the
attendance was quite large, but we regretted to
see smaller attendance of the citizens of Wor-
cester than upon some former occasions. The
programme of exercises set down for the occasion
consisted of Rotations of original poems from the
pupils Of the College. We publish below the til
ties of the several pieces and the names of the
young gentlemen by whom they were recited =

will be seen that the topics are all, or nearly
ali, of a character best calculated to awaken the
sentiments Of true patriotism, and to inspire
emotions Of reverence and love for the beneiactors
of mankind, withot preference to country or creed
Allof the pieces gave indication of careful study
and appreciation of their subjects. and some Of
them glowed with the FIRE of true genius. We
think we have never seen an equal number of com
positions, from young men of the same age, that
would average as well, and we are quite sure that
the Evolutionary part of the performance was on
the whole great deal better than we usually
hear at academical and high school exhibitions.
The number of pupils during the past term has
averaged about ninety and we were pleased to
see that the most cordial and friendly feelings
seemed to exist between the pupils and their
teachers.
At the conclusion OF the exercises, the medals
and premiums were awarded in the usual manner,
| Professor Mullady announcing the names of the
pupils whose merits had won for them such marks
of distinction, each lad, as his name was call
ed, marching to the platform and receiving his
medal or premium at the hands of the Right Rev
Bishop Fitzpatrick. The bestowment of these
badges of honor was attended with frequent man
ifestatious of applause on the part of the pupils
and their friends, and we were glad to see that
son of our fellow townsman, John I. Cahill, came
IN for the most liberal share, receiving no less
than three silver medals and two premiums in
books. We suboin list of the names of those
to whom the prizes were given, and regret that a
want Of space prevents us from announcing the
names ofthose lads OF whom honorable mention
was made in the Professors report for their de-
pertinent and good scholarship.

lege Band, and was followed by the distribution
