the Committee Is published today ;
secondly. the anniversary feast; and lastly
the graduation exercises IN Fort Street
Church. The fest given in honor Of the
Fo-tieth Anniversary Of this institution,
called forth 4 very numerous gathering ;
We reckoned between 40 and 500 The
friends Of the institution had made every
p-eDaration for entertaining their guests,
ana their efforts were certainly crowned
with success. A large quadrangle,
open on one SIDE. but surrounded on three
bv the verandahs belonging to the dining
hall. private apartments, &c had been
covered in with canvas, under this shelter
Eve long tables were laid The supports
which held up the tent covering were
beautifully decorated with fern les, the
tables were beautifully supplied with all
kinds Of good things; roast pigs, turkeys,
chickens. POI, luau. salads, cakes, fruit Of
various kinds. indeed everything that our
urarke. affords, and frequently doesn't af-

the Rev. Mr.. Frear to pronounce bless

impressive words The guests then ad-
dressed themselves to the good things be

large . number Of people was no easy one,
but It was admirably performed by the
pupils Of the school, budding graduates
sai little prepsrstories" al working
with VII to keep things gong smoothly.
One young gentleman especially struck Us
by his energy and good hunor, he did the
caring at the poi-tasters' table, and the
wsy he sliced up those pigs and the
rsDiditv with which he served his clients,
was certainly worthy Of admiration-
TIE Rev. Chairman, knowing the length
Of the programme. called for an address
from the Rev. s. E Bishop, before the
fsa,t was concluded NJ. Bishop, was not
an alumnus Of the college but the only
reason he was not, was that he had already
been sent to college in the United STATES,
two years before the foundations Of Puma
hou were laid
