DISTRIBUTION OF PREMIUMS AT Sr. PAT
| RIcK's FEMALE SCHOOL.-rhe annua! eXhbi-
| tion and distribution of premiums at st.
Patrick's Female School took place yester-
day afternoon in the school building, on
| Twcnty-ffth street between Grace and
| Broad streets. This school is under the
charge of the Sisters of Charity OF st. Pat
rick's parish, Sister RoSale being The supc-
riorcss. 1t is patronized by the Catholics Of
| the parish, besides by many families of other
! denominations resident in the lower part of
| the city. The session just closed was at
tended by about 125 children.
The exhibition was witnessed by large
assemblage, COMPOSED principally of the re-
| atiyes and friends Of the children. Right
Rev. Bishop Gibbons and number Of the
| Catholic clergy of The city were also present,
and all seemed, notwithstanding the eXces-
sive heat, to enjoy the occasion right heartily.
At 4 O'Clock, the exercises began with
| "Sgnal March" by Kleber, performed on
| two pianos by Misses b. Brizzolara, J.
Woody, L. Johnson, and r. Cross, during
| which the children. all robcd in while, with
| blue sashes and ribbons, marched into the
room in pairs and took the seats assigned
| them. The distribution Of premiums was
| then commenced, the various classes and sue
cessful contestants being called out by Rev.
| Father Doherty, pastor of st. PatricKs
church. and the awards being made by the
Right Rev. Bishop, who had kind word or
| cheerful smile for each young miss as she
| approached to receive at his hands the
awards accorded them for their success.
A lengthy programme, consisting of vocal
| and instrumental music, recitations, and dia-
logues, intersperscd the distribution most
pleasantly. The music in both departments
was decidedly fine, and reflected much cree
dit upon Miss NJ. Duvall, under whose d.
| rection it was conducted. The chorusses OF
the little ones were especially good, and gave
| evidence of careful and patient training,
while the singing Of the older children was
| eXcellently well rendered. While all OF the
dialogues were good, some OF them would
have done credit to much older heads; the
manner in which they were spoken at times
| creating much merrimcnt among the auol-
eDce.
We find it impossible 10 publish, as we
| would wish to do, full list OF the awards,
| but give below some of the most prominent ::
