"A SeIeCNN rIlOftAcultuIdl f1Oein was tneI
read by w. H. MoOLUAE, Esq. D. J. Cole
NAN, Esq, had been selected to read thu
Poem, but he being unwell and unable t.
perform the duty, Mr.. McCLUaE was called
upon. Although called on without mo
ments warning, and was consequently en-
tirely unacquainted with the nature of the
task before him, he seemed to instantly catch
the inspiration of the, lines, and we doubt
whether the author himself could have read
the Poem in happier manner, and with
more effect than did Mr.. McCLuRE. He has
anexceilent voice, finely modulated and un.
der perfect control, which together with his
keen and almost instantaneous appreciation
of every different shade Of feeling and senti-
ment therein, all combined to make his read
ing of the Poem highly satisfactory to his
auditors as well as redounding in credit to
himself The Poem Was tho FAIRIES Frolic."
After the reading of the Poem, Committees
were appointed to examine articles on exhi-
bition, and awarded premiums as follows:
