All the participants merit high praise
for the admirable rendering Of their parts.

nous il comforting the prize for excellence
In reading upon Edith Nobel Lord, the
prize tor best defamation upon Edmund
X. Herrick Miss Addis ninckley and Liz
zie Peters, deserve especial mention for
the tine manner in which they gave two
very difficult selections from Mrs. Brown
ing. The whole entertainment reflects
great credit upon both Principal and stu
dents, and we doubt II more talent and
better training can be displayed in any
school OF like numbers in the State. At
the close Of the exercises Mr.. Herrick was
presented with an elegant volume Of Shaks-
peafe. as . testimonial Of the regard of his
scholars.
