This Institute has Preparatory and In
termediate Department under efficient
teachers.
The Mechanical Drawing Department de-
very fine, and showed great deal of natural
talent in that line.
Prof A. Nembach gave some most excel
lent music upon the large organ of the
church, and Mr.. Hartley Thompson sang
SIN Native WORTH" from the Creation"
with such telling effect that an encore was
almost insisted upon.
Hon. NJ. f. Force presented the diplomas
in a well-chosen practical speech, full of
good advice and practical common sense.
1t is to be hoped that every young gentle
man in the class will put in practice the
noble sentiments expressed by the honora-
BILE gentleman.
We learn that the Institute is just closing
year of remarkable prosperity, both in the
number and excellent scholarship OF its
students. The graduating class has attained
an unusually high rank i'll every respect
Two hundred and six are enrolled in the
catalogue, and the hard-working Principal
may certainly congratulate himself at the
firm footing which the Institute has deserv-
edly attained.
A display of remarkably we'll executed
mechanical and architectural drawings was
made by the pupils of the Institute, show
ing unusual excellence in this department.
The drawings would have done credit to
pupils of much larger experience.
