commencement Week mt Brunswick.
BRUNSWICK, Aug. 2, 1866.

LII conClnuaClou ot my teCIer yesterday let
me say that at the usual hour the procession,
beaded BY Gilmore's band, moved from the
college chapel to the church, where, after
prayer by Rev. j. o. Ffske, the exercises of
Commencement Day at once began in accord
ance with the programme l sent you yes
terday.
Time will not permit me to review the per-
fornances of all the speakers, but 1t is only
justice to remark that, taken as a whole, the
parts were fine productions and gracefully
delivered. The salutatory ORATOR BY Chas.
*. Hinkley Of Gorham, was a neat and dig.
nifed composition, and was very happily pre-
sented. The parts of Beecher, Fernald.
Boardman, Gross, Packard, Herrick, and
Woodman were all noticeable for real merit in
strength and style, and for clear and at
tractive delivery; and their friends may wen
take pride in the manner in which they have
thus closed up their college career. sd-
Where all were so deserving Of praise it is
gratifying to know that the representatives Of
Portland in this class were not a whit behind
their fellows In true excellence, originality
and exhibition Of fine scholarly attachments,
and in elegant delivery the performance of
Henry L. Chapman took FIRST rank, and was
universally commended, Geo. W. Kellogg
had part OF great merit, evincing full ap-
probation of his subject, which he delivered
in veiy spirited and satisfactory style. The
poem Of George 7. Sumner was a wild,
strange production, meritorious in compost
ton and recitation. The Masters parts
were excenept A pleasing interest in the ex-
ercises was maintained throughout by the
large and fashionable audience which filled
the church, and the graduating class which
has distinguished itself by high style OF de-
meanor or and scholarship, win leave the halls
with the kinoliest benedictions OF the officers
OF the college and the citizens OF the town
The degrees conferred were as follows:
