ton Of Premiums at the

Annual commencement and Distalbu-
ton of Premiums at the
Jesuits' College
Yesterday evening the spacious exhibition
hail Of the College Of the Immaculate Con
ceptfon was literally crowded 20 suffooation.
The cause of such large assemblage OF
persons Was the desire TO witness the tairty-
first annual com mencement exercises ef the
pupils OF the college, which is under the
direction Of the Jesuit Fathers. Ever since
the foundation OF the college it has been the
custom OF the Fathers to make the eon-
meneernent exercises as pleasing and as
| attractive as possible. A fine baud of music
| Is always secured, and literary treat In the
| shape OF drama or comedy IL given by the
pupils, who have been carefully trained for
the plays. Yesterday was no exception to
the rule. The audience, as on other ocea-
sions, was numerous. Prot. Phi. Greuling's-
orchestra had been engaged, and selections
from Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and
from "Sheridan's sfRivals" we're well rem
dered BY the pupils. Those who had been
# chosen to act III the plays showed almost
without exception a thorough and intelligent
understanding of the characters they inter-
preted.
Those who distinguished themselves in the
MERCHANT Of Venice were: J. DufiihO, A.
Dufitno, J. Durapan, N. Finney, ). Grant and
E. Bostiek Masters E. Mortimer, 3. Endete,
4. Atkins, N. Witter and j. Dillon acquitted
themselves very well OF their respective parts.
We cannot help mentioning particularly the
fine acting OF j.. Dufllho fAntonio), j. Dnra-
pan (Shylockl ana e. Bostick (Balthazar, or
Portia, disguised as a Doctor Of Laws and
MI. Einney (Launceiot Gobbol all OF these
! young gentlemen showed themselves worthy
:. expounders Of the beauties Of Shakespeare,
that is, taking into consideration their youth
and their ineXperience On the stage.
Master E. Bostick, who inGpersonated Bal
thazaf, though only II years OF age. spoke
his part most clearly and naturally. His
reading of that beautiful alloeu5ion Of POI
tia 8 to the cruel Jew.
The quality Of mercy is not strained;

Upon the place beneath, etc..
