The commencement concert was
quite fully attended. Tho program
was somewhat disarranged by The fact
that Mr.. Fessenden, the tenor annonnc-
ed, was prevented from coming by q
break down of his carriage, as was an
nonnced to the audience after tho grad
uating exercises. His place was filled
by the college quartette. Miss Ella
Earle, the soprano, fully sustained the
reputation she has acquired, and The
numerous friends of the little lady
were delighted with her singing, as
their encores testified. She has i'm.
proved greatly In her art. The Howard
opera House Orchestra fully sustained
their reputation for skill and precision
in their playing.
