Mrs. ChAs. L. Lombard Owing to the
unavoidable absence OF Messrs. Emery.
Redman and wiswell, who were compelled
10 be In Bangor attending The Law Term
OF the S. J. Court, their places were sup

Emerson and Geo. T. Duuon. ESQ.
so well were all the pieces performed
that the Committee had no easy task In de-
oiding who were justly entitled to the
the contestants received a majority OF the
votes on the frs, ballot. twas only after
a careful review OF the merits OF each one
that the decision was arrived n awarding
one Of the two prizes TO Miss Cassandra
Bovdoin and the other to Lewis HodgkIns.
II would be pleasant TO review aud point
cut the merits of each participant separate
ly, as much could be said Ia praise OF each.
and we cannot refrain from mention OF the
Salntaiorian who composed aud translated
into Latin the Introductory piece. When
We consider that the speaker bad been =
member o, the High School bot three years
we think great praise Is due TO the SCHOLAR
who could prepare so accurately and de
liver SC eueu;ly a Latin composition. We
are not OF those who believe in Latin COM
positions for public exhibitions, but the
custom has long prevailed and Ia this case
was pleasing ans well received.
Several OF the selections were such A. TO
require unusual elocuiionary effort and
these were all rendered with such aeour-
acy as to be highly acceptable 10 the audi
euce.
1t may iruihfully be said tha, all the
speakers did better than we had the RICH,
TO expect and fully justified the Principal
OF the School 10 presenting them 10 the
public
While grea, credit is due 10 the scholars
for the part they took in the exhibition we
mus, not forget ,ha, to the Principal. DR..
Lowell, we owe much. His zeal and Ut
firing efforts. have given 10 our High
School high grade among the Schools OF
Its class in the State. His efficiency IS q
teacher is strlkiugly apparent in the sym
patty developed between teacher and pu-
pills and his ability TO enthuse the scholar
In the work set before him. The effect Of
such teaching will be felt through the life
time OF his scholars and the habits OF study
and though, now being formed will abide
with them through their whole lives. No
one who visited the exhibition last Friday
night could fail OF being impressed with
the importance Of literally sustaining such
q school. II should never be a question as
bu. hoe literally il can be sustained. The
money spent 10 the education Of the young
Is one OF the best investments ia the power
OF the municipal authorities to make.
Judging from the large and attentive audi
ence which greeted the School. the senti-
men, in favor OF its support is very strong
In this city and experience will surely
strengthen this sentiment.
The thanks OF all are due TO those who so
kindly volunteered in furnishing the vocal
and instrumental music for the occasion.
Many in the audience, however, missed one
of the best instrumental pieces by leaving
the Hall at the close Of the speaking.
Our citizens have reason to be proud of
the unusually successful and meritorious
exhibition given by the scholars Of the
Ellsworth High school.
