st. Mary's school-Closing Exercises Last
Night.
Tie closing exercises of the boys depart
ment of st. Mary's school took place last
evening in the class room of the building,
corner of Ninth and Locust streets. The

which characterizes the management of the
school. The hall was beautifully festooned
with garlands of evergreen and the walls
were adorned with numerous specimens of
the handiwork of the pupils. The speci-
mems mainly consisted of drawings of the
famous architectural remains of Europe, and
several of the sketches showed wonderful
powers of conception and great boldnees
and individuality in execution. The ex-
ercises were in charge of Brother Adel and
the entertainment passed off in the most
pleasing and delightful manner.
The liberal seating capacity of the hall
was entirely occupied with the patrons of the
school, the front seats being taken up by 8
number of the Brothers, the ones In charge
appearing in full habits. The programme
was of miscellaneous character, embracing
vocal and instrumental selections and decla-
nations, in the rendition and delivery of

selves great credit.
The exercises opened with chorus by the
pupils, who appeared on the stage neatly at
tired, each pupil wearing a handsome
boutonnaire. A defamation followed, by
Master w. Desmond, who spoke the in

L. Shane, on "The Shipwreck." The thrill
ing theme was wildly portrayed, and his
effort was received with applause.

Charity" was detained in talented man

by the pupils entities" NY Sister in Heaven"
which met with the warm approval of the
audience.
