TEL REMONTI,

TEL REM0HTI,
a vocal Duet, WAS then beautifully sung by
Misses Giers end Brown. 1t was succeeded
by grand polka for two pianos by Misses
Bib, Dougherly, Heffernan, Coe, Brown
and Childress.
We were much pleased with this piece,
and could not help noticing the superior
execution of Misses Bib, Coe and Others.
THE ORPHANS PLANT
was then recited by Miss M. Manrsr. This
beautiful piece Of poetry was written by
Miss +. Brown, and we must be allowed to
pay a well deserved tribute TO the youth
ful pOetess of St. Cecilia's for this touch
ing and pathetic composition, which spoke
to many a heart in that vast audience. Lei
her motto be onward, and onward.
We forgot to state that the pupils had
woven the various threads of the enter.
tainment into a kind of dramatic skein,
on purpose, TO make the entertainment
more interesting and connecting. Such
was the case with the next piece, viz:
SCENES IN JAPAN.
Disappointed Office seekers at Jeddo
written by the Senior Glass.
Tycona, the Queen.
Typhona, the Prime Minister.
Fraulein Herr, German girl.
Signora Canzona, sn Italian singer, \
Madame Boyer, French lady, !
...... Office Seekers.
BY Misses Dougherty, Giers, Mooney,
Brown, Childress, Heffernan, Hays, Bowen,
Coleman, Ruohs and Terry.
The young ladies did great credit tc
themselves in this piece, and the audience
seemed fully to appreciate their efforts
and the noble sentiments expressed by our
young friends Misses Ruohs and Terry,
who decline voting at the next election.
An intermission of twenty minutes now
took place, during which an immense
power o. condensed vocalism was set free,
and such confusion of tongues prevailed
| for while, as has nos been heard since
the memorable days of Babel. How order
was finally restored, your deponent is I'M
able to state. 800.

Arts continued. One of the graduates,
Miss Mary Coleman now read her essay,
