DAYS EXERCISES, &C., &c.
The final exercises in the white public
schools of the city commenced yesterday at

features, and the distribution OF awards

The Central School.
There were about five hundred children
in attendance upon this school during the
past scholastic year, and they have no doubt
made fair progress.
The Theatre was literally packed yester-
day with happy children and proud parents
and friends. The dress-circle was reserved
for ladies and their escorts, and the parquet
for the teachers and pupils OF the school.
Upstairs in the galleries the boys reveled
and applauded, and clapped and whistled,
and enjoyed themselves to their hearts con-
tent. Long before the hour fixed for the
exercises to begin the building was filled,
and yet the people kept coming until there
wasn't even standing-room.
On the stage were a number OF we'll
known educators, members OF the Council,
cIergymen, members Of the School Board,
cx-Mayor Kelley, and others.
THE EXERCISES.
The programme OF exercises was some
what different from those that have already
been presented by the other schools, but
was none the less enjoyed. Indeed, many
parts of it brought out the warmest ap-
plause, which was difficult to BE restrained.
