TIE CLOSING EXERCISES AT NO. 4, THIS MORNING.
Public School, No. a, has always stood high in
the public estimation, and the exercises of this
morning, appropriate to closing the school for
the summer, were fully up to the entertainments
which have been given in former years. Under
the Principalship of Miss Kate Stewart
the girls IN the large upper room are
making rapid progress. The visiting committee
of thisschool is Messrs. Roberts and Palmer, who,
together with the Examining Committee, Messrs
Moore and Lynch, were present to hear and en-
courage the scholars in their endeavors. MANY
of the friends and relatives of the scholars were
also present. The exercises in the upper sto-
ry were as follows:
Singing by the School, Over the Summer Sea-
Miss Stewards I'd class examined in Geogra-
ply.
Reading, Little by Little NJ Thielman,
Singing by the school, Juanita.
Miss Sue Batemans 1st class in grammar ex-
amined.
Reading, Little Florence, Lizzie Baker
Singing by the school, See our Oars.
Two classes in Arithmetic examined by Miss
Black and Miss Bateman.
Singing by school, Summer Time.

Miss Blacks 1st class in Geography exam
ined.
Reading, Cobbler's Secret, Mary Mahoney.
Singing by the school, Shaking of the Hand
Miss Stewards lst class in Spelling and Gram
mar examined.
Reading, Homemade Pies, Ollie West.
Dialogue, The Wonderful Scholars, by three
little girls, who took their parts admirably.
Singing by the school, What Shall the Harvest
be?I
ALI of the exercises proved very entertaining,
and where all is done 30 well it is hard to dis
criminate but we think we are justified in put
ting especial praise upon the singing. 1t would
have been hard to have this exceIled. Mr.
Roberts, on behalf of the visiting committee,
spoke of the credit with which all had performed
their parts, and of the seeming harmony and
good will existing between teacher and scholar
The committees and visitors then proceeded
to the lower floor, where the boys department,
under the principalship of Miss Francis, was OK
amined. The scholars in the room taught by
Mrs, Slocomb seemed very brght.and ready, and
in the rooms taught by Miss Taylor and Miss
Pyle, great proficiency was shown in all the
studies, but especially in grammar.
The exercises closed by the examination of
the scholars Immediately under charge of Miss
Francis. and these showed that hand of discip-
line had been guiding them. Their reading was
really excellent, and the defamation of Master
Ella Quigg reflected great credit on him.
At twelve o'clock the exercises ended. and
everybody seemed pleased with their mornings

There were several combined reapers ana
mowers ON the ground, but as the commence
ment trial was for mowers alone, the combined
machines were set aside for separate test.
Sections were staked of i'll equal propor-
tons and allotted to each machine, and at l45
o'clock, MIR. l. |. Carter announced all in read
iness, and in response to which the several con-
testants entered the field and took up their re-
spectve positions. Each machine first cut its
way in order across tue field at the marks desig-
mated, which divided their plots or Glands" and
al they passed over the ground the judges fol-
lowed after and examined their workings in
careful manner. The grass was
quite heavy, and some of the ma
chimes at intervals clogged. owing mainly
to their coming in contact with mice nests, which
at this season of the year abound in such places
and which are terror to the moving machine
operator. After each machines opera
tion had been carefully and separately OBJ
served by the judges, the lots were thrown open
to the contestants to cut their respective con-
tracts, and the sight and clatter which followed
was quite novel and exciting ono to those in
experienced in such displays. The machines
were scritnized by the visitors, and with some
few exceptions, the principle of each one ap-
peared much the same.
The number of people present was about 200,
including several ladies. One gentleman from
Ohio, had came all the way expressly to see the
trial. he having no interest in the test save that
of curiosity Several of the entered machines
did not arrive, but will no doubt put i'll their ap
pearance before the trial terminates. The Ag-
ricultural Society also expected to have hay
loader ON the grounds, but from some cause
there was no response TO their invitation.
TIE TRIAL YESTERDAY.
Yesterday the combined and one-horse mowers
we're tested. In the afternoon the machines
we're put in service in Mr.. Gibbons meadow
near Seeds Bridge, aud dynamometer was at
tached to show the draft of each. The trial OF
reapers will probably take place to-day.
Owing to the busy season there were not as
many spectators az some had anticipated.
BY recent entries the number of machines has
been increased to thirteen.
