Commencere ent-night at the High School
What bright thoughts and blissful memories
arise as these words are spoken Ii recalls
from the ocean or the past the brilliant
gatherings on former momeutous occasions
when the temple OF ThesPis has been
thronged with Richmonds blavesta and best
to greet their sons and daughters about to
leave their alma mater and embark upon
the real w0Ik OF life. For weeks past those
connected with this chiefest of our public
schools have been in a Outer OF eXpecta-
ton, while satin, ribbons, fans, and all
other feminine paraphernalia, has been in
demand, and a corner in white goods,
flowers, and perfumery has been confidently
predicted. That the sale or these articles
have been hrge no one who visited the
Theatre last night could fail 10 perceive.
And besides the usual excitement over
what 10 wear and wherewilha they should
be clothed, the young ladies and gentlemen
baye:been living in contemplation OF medals,
prizes. awards. &c. What fond hopes have
been cherished, and what dreams by day
aad night INDUCED in. And the end came
at last
The Theatre has probably held larger au-
dirncos tnan that last night gathered, but
certainly never a more beautiful or brilliant
one. In fact. these wOrCs bat feebly de-
scribe il. On the stage were many prominent
citizens. and in the audience the best rep
reseptatives OF Richmond's beauty. wealth.
intelligence, and honest industry. Voelkers
baud, from the orchestra, favored the au-
dience with some of their best selections.
II was about $40 O'Clock p. NJ. when the
curtain arose, and disclosed as lovely sight
as one could wish 10 view. 1t was indeed
a vision OF loyeliaess, and like unto I" Il
dream Of fair women" The graduating
class Of young ladies were all clad in pure
white. and. il possible, were more charm
ing than their younger aud less-advanced
companiins. Viewed from the upper gal
Ieries the scene We'd description, and was
without doubt the finest spectacle ever
placed upon that stage-if we may except,
OF course, the previous commencements.
Without any preliminary remarks Mr.. w.
+. Fox, the principal OF the school, pro-
ceeded to the business Of the evening.
The following was
THE ORDER OF EXERCISES.
Selection, "My Castle" T. n. Neither
land; Essay, "The Vanity Of Human
GRANDEUR Ro. S. Crump; Selection,
:. Tintoretto's Last Painting" Lettie Me-
Donald Essay. "T The Ideal and the Real"
Hettie A. Taylor.
The programme was brief, as those OF
the High School always are. But 1t was
beautiful even in its breviiy. The selections
Of Master Neiherland aud Miss Mcdonald
were read in good style. Their articulation
was perfect and the elocutioD all that could
be desired. They were rewarded both
with applause and floral tributes.
Master Crump's essay was very credta-
Bile production, and he read it in a manner
