throughout.
The song "just one year ago. by
Miss McCloud was very well sung.
1.-The Child's Philosophy" was we'll
executed by the Misses Macklin and
Smith, and if properly carried out in
every day life it would be very good

'.The Alteration of the Magi," was
perfect. The larger girls forming the

boy only four years old, and elected
the surprise as well as the applause of
all present.
The comedy of the Ghost in five acts
