pleasant and creditable entertainment was
given. The pupils were seated on an ex-
temporized gallery on each side of the
platform, while the latter was finely ar
ranged with floral decorations and hung
with numerous flags.
The exercises were given according to
the following

The drama, which formed leading fca-
ture of the entertainments was well per-
formed by the different pupils who took
part, nearly all spoke in Il clear tone of
voice and without prompting. Especial
mention might be made Of Miss Clifford,
Master Charlie Carlton and Miss Reilly,
who bore themselves with much credit as
the leading characters. The tableauX of
Angels was very beautiful, and the vocal
choruses were sung in perfect time and
tune.
The comedy created much amusement,
and the lads who personated the different
roles showed good training and careful
study. The valedictory by Miss Cummings
was delivered in modest and becoming
manner, and was in every way appropriate
to the occasion which called it forth.
The distribution of premiums was made
by Rev. Father Boylan, who took occasion
to congratulate the school upon the great
progress made by them during the past
year, upon the very satisfactory examina-
ton which they had recently passed
through, and remarked especially upon the
great interest shown by the parents in the
training OF their children in school. lie
referred with much feeling to the work
which had been accomplished by the Sisters
who have charge of the institution, and to
the debt of gratitude which one and all
owed to them for their self-sacrificing de-
votion as teachers.
The pupils who received premiums and
honorary tokens embraced a large number
of the senior and junior classes, the names
of whom our space will not permit us at
present to give.
We would not forget to mention the
sweet singing of Miss Fannie Keenan,, who
sang the very difficult descriptive song of
the "Ship on Fire" with great acceptance.
The continued applause which followed
demonstrated the fact that she is great
favorte and that her really fine voice IS
much appreciated.
The band played well and the exercises
passed off acceptably in every sense.
