The exercises were opened by tie randl
Russian March," performed on the piano
by Misses Lucas and Neudecker. After
which, the premiums in Christian Doctrine
were presented by the Bishop, the names'
Of the recipients being announced by Father
Brady. The solo g In the Starlight" was
we'll rendered by Miss Camp, with piano
accompaniment by Miss Mercer. Then fol-
lowed the distribution of premiums in the
classes Of grammar, rhetoric, and compost
ton. q.
Largo al Factottma," a beautiful air, was
performed by Misses Wiley and Faherty on
Che piano. Then came the distribution of
premiums in the classes Of arithmetic, oil
zebra, and book keeping. This order OF
exercises was preserved throughout, and
each distribution was preceded by music,
either vocal or instrumental.
We much regret that want Of space COM
pels us to give no more than passing men
tion of the excellent performance Of the
young ladies:
"Sweet Spirit, Hear My Prayer" was
sung by Miss Mercer.
:sNorma y was splendidly performed on
the piano by Misses Faherty and Wiley.
"The Merry Spring Time,' chorus, was
sung by Misses Fant, Lucas, Neudecker,
Picot, Finney, and Lottier, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Adele King.
"Falling Leaves" by Miss Mercer, was
well played; and the song Leaf by Leaf
the Roses Fall" sung by Miss Camp, with
piano accompaniment by Miss Faherty, did
credit to the excellenoeof the musical de-
partment of the institution. Academic
honors were next conferred by the presen-
tation of gold medals to the Senior Circle.
The introduction to the coronation ode con-
sisted of an instrumental piece by Miss
Mercer, solo by Miss Camp, and a
chorus by Misses Camp, Murphy, FAINT,
and Lottier. Rewards of merit to the pu-
nils of the Junior Circle were then distri-
buted. After which, the exercises were
closed with g Home, Sweet Home" on the
piano. The premiums consistad mainly oi
books-the lives Of holy men for those
whose parents are Catholics, and general
literature for those Of other denominations.
In some instances prizes were bestowed
which denoted the nature Of the class IN
which the recipient had excelled, such as
portfolios for writing, work boxes for en-
broidery, &c., Sc. For excellent deport-
ment q gold medal in the shape Of Nal.
tese cross and wreath Of: artificial flowers
were bestowed, the recipient kneeline
while the uuartette sung the ode introduc-
tory to the coronation. During the epresenta'
tion of the premiums the Bishor deliver:
ed short address replete with PRACTICAL
suggestions and sound advice. Specimens
of the handiwork of the pupils were also
exhibited, and called forth the admiration
Of the audience. The whole affair passed
off pleasantly, and spoke volumes for the
excellent management Of the school. Many
other young ladies in the Senior Circle
from their progress and evident applica
ton, were we'll entitled to wreaths and no
nors, but it is o rule of the Academies
of the Visitation to bestow such only upoI
those pupils who have passed through th'
entire academic course. In the othel
classes no rewards are conferred unless th'
student has been at the school for at leas
one session Of five months.
