CONVENT OF THE VISITATION.
The Fifth ANIMAL Exercises-A Splendid
Educational Institution.
The fifth annual presentation of premi-
ums at the academy of the Convent of the |
Visitation, took place yesterday afternoon
in the presence of the many friends of the
pupils. The prizes we're presented by the
Right Reverend Bishop Ireland, and the IN
teresting ceremony was interspersed with
vocal and instrumental music, the reading
of original essays and Rotations, the young
ladies acquitting themselves most creditably
and showing that the instruction they receive
at least in music, composition and elocu-
tion-is thorough. Among the features of a
lengthy programme was harp solo by Miss
Barden a quartette on two pianos, sextette
on two pianos, an original poem and the
closing address by Tiny Kelly, a wonderfully
clear and intelligent performance, which
would be a credit to a young lady twice her
age. The singing throughout was excellent
and the Instrumentation careful and exact.
The following is the programme:
| Duett for two pianos-Airs and March from
Norma Miss M. McQuillan and Miss M. Beau
pre-, with harp accompaniment by Miss Clara
| Barden.
Solo and Chorus-Laudate Dominum (Haydn)
