credit both on her naturally gifted voice
and careful cultivation. The Coronation
ode, with Miss Lena Foley a soloi't,
was worthy of the occasion,
All the performances were Oft high
order of merit, and in few schools have
we ever heard them equaled. Among
the impressions left by the entertainment
we take pleasure in recalling Miss Por-
tiers performance of the Adagio move
ment in the Beethoven Sonata. The
harmonies of this sweet production still
linger in our ears, and it has so pleased
our fancy as ever to be remembered.
The cornation ceremonies we're very .
impressive. Each Of the young ladies
who had finished their studies, received .
a gold medal, and was crowned with a .
wreath of flowers by Bishop Kain. The I
following is the names Of the young .
ladies thus highly honored. Miss Augusta
Hnndlan, Wheeling Miss Mary Tierney' .
