elocution branch. The general prizes we're
also distributed by the principal Below is
given the programme Of yesterdays exer-
cises, as also the list of prizes, together with
the names of the fortunate ones Mrs. Daka
is to be congratulated upon the admirable
manner in which her pupils conducted
themselves yesterday, and the evidences they
& ave of careful training and proficiency, as
also of excellent department throughout.
During the interesting exercises the audi.
ence manifested by their close attention, the
highest satisfaction. The entire programme
was eminently enjoyable, and it is difficult
to say what feature was the most
SO, but the song Of Swinging in the Lane"
by the trio of little Juveniles, the duet OF
"Meg and Peg" and "Nobody's Child" by
Fannie Thomas, were particularly noticeable,
as also was 1.-The Little Workers" The
sweet, clear-cut, flexible ringing voice of lit
tle Miss Thomas not only charmed all who
heard her, but gave demonstration of the eX-
stence of positive musical genius, the proper
training of which will yet place her high in
the list of singers. AT the piano, contributing
the Accomplishments, was Miss Matte Leach
man, assistant, whose winning amiablity and
rich voice added SO largely to the entertain
ment. Dallas is fortunate in having such
teachers MS these intelligent ladies, who clearly
enough show the deep interest they have
taken and their evident adaptability to the
responsible charge and their noble profess
sion. Following are the details of pro-
gramme and the list of prizes:
