PRIZE REGULATIONS AND DECLARATIONS.
The exercises on Wednesday evening
were opened by prayer by the Rev. II. M.
Forrest, followed by the first on the list,
Mr.. Cady of Brownsville, who gave in
very good style "The Execution of Mon.
trose." The speaker was somewhat nerv-
Gus but acquitted himself we'll.
Next Miss Zilla Stiles of St. Johnsbury
Center in a very spirited and earnest man.
ner recited The Ride of Jennie M'Neal. "
Mr. Henry IL. Newcomb was the next
speaker and had piece well adapted to
the times, being "The Nomination of
Lincoln in 60" Mr.. Newcomb surprised
every one by his excellent delivery.
The pathetic story of The Peril of the
Mines" was most beautifully related by
Miss Belle Putnam, who will be remem-
bered us one of the readers of the same
entertainment last year.
She was followed by Fred j. Dieter with
webster on the Spirit of Disunion.
Many regarded Mr.. Dieter as the best
speaker Of the evening.
Miss Clara Hopkins of Rochester gave
"Thn Little Hero" in telling and ami
mated style, which brought tears to many
eyes.
Zone Niche the Highest" by Jerry G
Hammond East Franklin, was one of the
most brilliant efforts of the evening, the
only fault, if there was any, being trifle
too much energy and rapidity.
Ida A. Schuler of Columbus, Pa. fol
lowed with 1.-The Painter of Seville" s
long and difficult piece, which she render
ed with great excellence.
Mr.. w. j, Clapp, long known as one o.
the best speakers in school, gave Tenny
sons defence of Lucknow in a mos
pleasing manner.
The Street Musicians" by Miss Julia
Clark of Wiliston, was one of the gem:
of the entertainment. The young lady
has not only a most graceful manner, bu
one of the sweetest of voices, which she
has under perfect control. The parts she
sung gave an added charm to an otherwise
charming rendering of a beautiful piece
1t was II piece which probably she alone
could have rendered well.
"Chatham's Speech on the American
Revolution" was finely spoken by Geo
0, Webster Of Barre. He gave it with
clearncss, ease and precision, and bid
fair to become one of the best of orators.
Where praise is due to each one, it i:
difficult to discriminate, and the commit
tee of award must have found it next +
impossible to render II decision.
Much praise is due their faithful .ant
competent teacher, Miss Clara +. Randall
who has few equals in New England as al
instructor in her department. Her judg
mcnt and taste are unrivaled, and he
ability to mpart knowledge unsurpassed.
The music was furnished by the musi
class, who acquitted themselves in thei
usual excellent manner. The house wa
packed by an attentive audience, thougl
the evening was very warm.
