Closing Essay by Alberta Pendergast.
II was commonly expressed by the au-
ditors that never before in Nashville had
| they heard the Cantanta Of "The School
| Festival" more admirably rendered. Many
compliments were justly lavished upon
Agnes Putnam, the Queen" and Frank
| Perkins, who acted the role Of the "rardy
| Scholar to perfection. Agnes Putnam's
recitation Of "High Tide on Lincolnshire"
was greatly eulOgized, several declaring it
more successfully rendered than by Miss
Patterson, who read the same selection
some time ago in this city.
Space is wanting to make farther special
mention. All did finely, and the occasion
| will long be remembered by those who had
the good fortune TO attend.
| The exercises of the eighth grade, in
| Prof. Perkins room, were Of . highly in
teresting character, and were witnessed by
| a large crowd Of visitors. Prof. Perkins
may congratulate himself upon the success
ful efforts Of his pupils, and the manner
in which they acquitted themselves showed
careful study and training. Theprogramme
opened with apianO solo by Miss Ursula
| Davis. Then the "ROver" was sung by
| Misses Matte Thomas, Florence Harwell,
! Emma JungeTmann, Alice McNa0b and
Messrs. Henry NichOl and John FulghUm.
Next came a speech by Henry NichOl fol-
lowed by Footsteps on the Stairs" which
was sung By Misses Matte Thomas and
Florence Harwell and Mr.. John Fulghum.
Then came another solo on the piano
BY Miss Ursula Davis, followed by
an interesting dialogue bytwo little ladies.
The next was the Growing Song" by
Henry NichOl, Alice hcNabb and Emma
Jungermann. "Dew Drops are Failing,
was then sung BY Henry NichOl, John Full
ghum, Alice McNabb, Emma Jungermann,
| Florence Harwell and Matte Thomas.
The above named also sung the "NacatiOn
Song" Miss Matte Thomas read COM
position and recited Somebody's Darling
All the visitors paid marked attention
throughout and expressed themselves a;
| much pleased with the exercises.
HUME AND FOGG SCHOOLS.
No less gratifying audiences Of visitors
filed the rooms at the FOgg and Hume
buildings, where the exhibitions were al
most as numerous as the grades. Tit
years results, in point Of culture, as shown
in the entertainments here, were ever
more satisfactory than ever before.
The programme Of the three highes
grades, under Prof. Wharton in FOgg school
which three graded constitute the Higl
School proper, was carried out mot credt
tablv. being marked by signal success il

Iogy on Adams and Jefferson" a declama

in declamatiOn-that a boy should delive
anOther's production so well as to be called
back. We give the programme, and alOns
