Rev. w. B. NcGilvray is principal Of this
excellent group Of schools, where nearly
which was brought to close yesterday.
Probably the pupils Of no school in the city
have made greater progress than those un-
der. the care OF the efficient teachers 81
Leigh school, and certainly none of
'.'''"' -" THE EXERCISES '!...'- -.
Of the other schools were more interesting.
The programme yesterday was rendered in
the presence of an immense audience, who
could not be restrained in expressing their
hearty approval Of its many acceptable fea-
lures. .,.l.,.. ,...,...>,..,.,.,,,
Two gentlemen-Whose names are omit
ted by special reqnest-afforded seme eX-
cellent music during the exercises by their
performance on the flute and piano; Miss
Ii. N. Laube, however, presided at the
piano, and accompanied the children IN
their various songs, etc. H.
1t is to be regretted that there is a boy in
Richmond who would be guilty OF the con.
temptible act OF throwing at the little chill.
dren who were reciting dialogue upon
the stage yesterday and yet it;happened.
Some one from the gallery threw hard
beet, and subsequently an onion, ut two lit
tie girls, and came very near striking
one Of them. Had either one received
such a blow it would doubtless have
felled her 10 the floor. Superintendent
Peay and Mayor Darlington spoke OF
the thoughtless and improper act, and it is
gratifying to state that the offender was
arrested and carried to- the station-house.
This was the only thing that occurred to
mar the pleasure of the occasion.
