Mr.. DE CHASrAL DIsTRlBUrIoN.-As
we anticipated, an immense audience
visited the Academy Of Visitation, at
Mt. de Chantal yesterday, TO enjoy the
rich musical treat always provided at
this institution. The day was all that
could be desired, warm, bright and
beautiful, the cool and delicious breeze
modified the heat and made the large
audience in the exhibition room most
comfortable. The beautiful day and the
certainty Of a delightful entertainment
caused the people to fill every car on
each train on the Hempfeld railroad,
and sent long line of carriages, bug
gies and other vehicles over the
National road, so that by the hour OF
commencing the distribution the room
was as we have said, so filled it was
hardly possible to obtain seats.
Shortly after 9 o'clock, to the mag
nificent music of Alvsrs "Greek Pr
rate March," on pianos and hsrps, the
Young ladies of the Academy. attired in
white dresses trimmed with pink rib
bons, filed in. Two by two they passed
in front of the audience and after bow
ing now to the Bishop and the Mother
Superior and others who occupied the
stage, and then to the audience, sepa.
rated and took the seats prepared for
them next the stage. Two alone Of all
the number wore the garb of sadness,
the melancholy black contrasting
strangely with the simple white of their
companions and the gay attire of the
ladies in the audience.
After a chorus from Donizetti's
"LElisire d Amore," sung by the class
the distribution of premiums CON-
menced, and it was pleasure to watch
the qualification and JOY beamiug on
the faces of parents and friends as one

Academic Honors.
The Duet between Misses Anna
Lynch and Bessie Henshaw, from Sem
iramide, won, as it deserved, the sp-
plause of the audience. These young
ladies show a high degree Of culture and
remarkable proficiency, both in instru-
mental and vocal music. Their Duet
1.-THE Teacher and Scholar" was also
splendidly rendered, every humorous
point in the song being brought out
clearly, fully and to the satisfaction Of
all. Miss Libbie Keyser sang Home,
Sweet Home" in a most admirable
manner. With arich, full voice, easily
handled, and showing remarkable cult
walton, she rendered the touching music
OF this old heart.moving song with fine
effect. Miss Anna Gallagher sang o
solo, "a Song of Home" finely and
received well merited applause.
The musical portion of the exercises
was glorious, but the browning effort
was the Overture to Tampa" played
as quartette, by Misses Bessie Hem
shaw, Mollie Kesn, Anna Lynch, and
Libbie Keyser. Its grand tones ring in
our ears yet. The greatest care and
attention is evidently bestowed on the
musical education Of the young ladies
at Mt de Chantal, and is also given the
other departments. But in music the
rare genius and love of the art which
inspires the teacher is reflected through
the pupil, and not one Of these young
