! THE REuNIoN.-The annual reunion
Ibfthe Beeman Academy Alumni, which
ia always the most popular affair of the
year for New Haven, came off at the
Academy grounds last week Thursday,
July 3. The usual showers prevented
many from coming, but the attendance
was nevertheless larger than usual
when at three O'Clock the sky had
cleared and the company assembled at
the grounds to hear the address by
Capt. A. T.. Leavenworth, the veteran
teacher and soldier. The subject, "The
Lessons and Duties of the Hour" was
practical one and was skillfully treat
ed, tending to draw from history the
fact that each one must act for himself
and urging teachers and parents to pre-
pare those intrusted to their care to bear
up those duties which must surely fall
upon them as they advance in life. AT
ter the address, Mr.. James l.. Barton,
a graduate of II, read a poem which
was creditable production and receiv-
cd much praise. All then partook of
the rich collation. bountifully served by
the New Haven ladies. After the re-
past, remarks were made by Messrs. f.
5. Human, +. 5. Dana, j. M. Clifford,
G. G.. Leavenworth, g. Ii. Hubert, f.
II. Jewett, L. A. Doud, and the presi-
dent, Mr.. W. j. Fish. Col. Jewett was
unquestionably the most popular orator
of the day, for he accompanied his re-
marks with the promise of fund of
four hundred dollars to establish the
first free scholarship in Beeman Acad-
envy. MI. Fish promised a hundred
dollars toward second scholarship and
Mr.. Doud also promised a hundred.
The most important part of such work
is to get il started. To Mr.. Fish belongs
the honor of presenting and pushing
forward the idea of free scholarships,
and now that the fund is started it will
probably grow yearly. AT the annual
meeting, held at the close of these ex-
ercises, the following were elected Off
GERS for the coming year: President
w. J.,Fish; vice-presidents, Carrie f.
Bottum and j. w. Clifford; secretary,
j. L. Bartoa treasurer, f. II. Thorpe;
executive committee, Minnie Bottum,
b. ONeil and S. M. Foote. Everybody
that attended says that this is the best
reunion ever held in New Haven. There
can be no doubt that successful and
prosperous as Bceman Academy has
been, there is in store Tor her q still
more prosperous period, and all the in
dications are that her future will be
more brilliant than her past.
