The Entertaining Closing Exercises Nester-
day-Rolls of Honor. a
A large audience, patrons and friends, as
sembled, yesterday afternoon. at the twenty
ninth annual exhibition of st. Josephs Acad-
envy. 1t is safe to say that not one Of the vast
audience left other than greatly pleased with
the entertainment from beginning to end.
The entertainment was series of most pleas;
ing surprises; each pupil acqulttlng
themselves admirably, and in
music showing high degree of culture, not
alone confined to the piano, but organ and
guitar as well were touched by master hands in
the execution of choice selections; added to
this songs exquisitely rendered, and the exer-
cises can be classed as q most successful classi-
cal concert. As though music, presented as it
was, would tire the listener, the programme
was varied with recitals and essays betraying
study and research by the pupils giving the
one and reading the other. s.
The designated hour for beginning was 2
o'clock. A little after this the exercises did
begin and the following excellent programme
was presented in detail, without single defect
to mar the whole.
