| by Miss Daniel class.
The essays were all we'll written and appropri-
ate, and were read with great deal of spirit and
pathos.
Chorus-The Reapcrs-C gapissom-was sung
| by Miss Daniels class, in style calculated to
| excite the admiration and delight of the large
audience present
| The voices of Misses Dickinson and Lewis, in
the Duet II Addio, were not very powerful, but
| they were as sweet as the mellow flute and b ar
monized most charmingly.
Ali the music on the occasion was very fine,
and Miss Stannie Hendry's solo was particularly
we'll sung and elected most hearty applause.
The evenings exercises were concluded by
the rendering Of that grand old chorus-Auld
Lang Syne-accompanied by four pianos by
Miss lizzie Daniels class, in which the sweet
and controlling tones of Miss Lizzie Pattie's So
prano voice and Miss Agnes Furrs alto were
heard above tie many other harmonious voices.
TUESDAY NIGHT was devoted to the annual
| soree. The programme was made up of twenty
three select pieces from the classic authors and
if we had the space it would give US pleasure to
compliment each Individual performer. They
all did remarkably we'll. Two of the overtures
were performed four pianos by eight perform
ers and were so sklltully and artistically execu-
ted as to reflect the highest degree of credit on
both teacher prof Julius Schneider) and pupils.
| The instrumental overture-La Gazza Ladra-
| (Lone Star quartet)-was most exquisitely rem
dered by four young ladies from the Lone Star
| State of Texas. The solo-'Sweetly Ger my
Senses Stealing''-was most charmingly sung by
Miss Ada Pearce, of North Carolina, and elicit
| ed overwhelming applause. The solo-"Ah, so
| True'--volin and piano mpaniment-by
Miss Matte Harris, was very sWeetly sung
| Misses Pattie, Pearce, FUR, Bonner, Cocker,
Landstreet and the Misses Febrey, all exhibit
| ed great brIliancy of musical talent and cult
walton.
| "WEDNESDAY NIGHT Commencement The
