1
o'clock. The body of the church was re-.
served for the scholars anil teachers, but the
rest Of the edfce was thrown open to the
parents and friends Of the children. To say
| that the church was crowded would not con-
| vey an adequate idea Of the immense Dum.
Der OF persons present; and yet excellent
order was observed, and the exercises were
exceedingly interesting. Mr.. Peay entered
into the spirit of the proceedings, and con-
Quoted the exercises most admirably. He is
! q most excellent principal, and to him are
| the good people of Church Hill indebted
not only for the pleasant entertainment
which the children in his group of schools
| afforded, but for most marked advancement
| in their studies.
The exercises were commenced by all the
| children singing two beautiful anthem':
Praise ye the Lord" and the "Lord's
Prayer" Miss Annie Martin presiding at the
organ. The rest of the programme was rem
dered most creditably, and consisted of dia.
logues, readings, recitations, calsthenics,
etc, elc. ..,
The song which was perhaps the most in.
teresting feature in the musical part of the pro.
gramme was solo and chorus, sung by Miss
Cunningham and several Of her aSso-
ciates from Miss Sharpe's class, entitled
"Silyer Threads Among the Gold." Miss
| Cunningham possesses O very sweet voice,
and won for herself much praise. Willie
| Campbell, who seemed to be the favorite in
the group, read several verses from Scrib-
ner and saug a song, at the conclusion Of
which bouquets from all parts of the church
were sbowered upon him. a dialogue by
George Crump and John Lester, from Miss
Rogers's clasS-"The Way to John Smith's"-
was fney recited, and was SO amusing that
Mr. Peay was compelled to call the audi.
| cnce to order once or twice. -."I
| The feature of the occasion was the song.
So Leaf by Leaf the Roses FALL" sung by
ten pupils from Mrs. Moons class. The
ter Robert McAfee, however, impressed the
audience not little, and they came in for a
share of the bouquets and complimentary re-
marks Of those present.
| At the conclusion of the exercises Mr..
James Ii. Binford, superintendent of schools,
read out the list of the fortunate pupils, and
Mr.. W. s. Gilman de ivered the medals. The
folio " ing is list of the distinguished pupils ::
