Incidents OF the Occnsion--C Closing of che
Grammar schools To-day.

The closing exercises of the fourth, fifth
sixth, and seventh grades of public schools
were held yesterday. The programmes were
as varied and fully as int eresting as those of
Monday. In many cases several of the schools
united and held union services. The school
rooms were crowded with the friends and
relatives Of the pupils. There was great
profusion of floral favors.
The closing exercises of the eighth grade
will be held to-day in the various school
rooms of that grade. As this grade is the
grammar school, 1t has been pertinently sug-
gested that its exercises should be held at one
large central hall-the Congregational church,
for examplo-where the friends and relatives
of the pupils could attend in numbers, as in
the case Of the normal and the high schools.
AS the grammar school has been in this re-
spect neglected heretofore the trustees will
doubtless see that hereafter the young ladies
and gentlemen of this grade have an equal
show with their more advanced brethren of
the high and normal schools.
Among the pleasant episodes of yesterday
was one that transpired in the fourth di-
vision. During the exercises Of school No. 9,
grade 4 taught by Miss Riley, Miss Tillie
Koehler, on behalf of the school, presented
Mr.. John T.. Thompson, the supervising
principal, with a beautiful floral harp.
The Amidon medal for amiability and
sweetness of temper was unanimously voted
to Miss Carrie Mclaughlin, of the eighth
grade, fourth division-Mrs Martins school
by her schoolmates. Tho trustees and the
principal were present This is one of the
| highest honors of the schools, and whenever
won is justly deserved. The award is made
by the votes of the pupils.
| Last night tho committee on admission to
the high school were to have met in the su-
| .l..V.N
announce the winning candidates. The
committee consisted Of Gen. Birney
Mr.. Ben g. Lovejoy, and Mr.. Henry
johnson. The list could not be made
out unless two at least of the commit
tee were present. Mr.. johnson was present
Gen. Birney has gone out Of town. Mr.. Love-
Joy was too sick to come last night. Hence
the names of the candidates winning adnis-
sion will not be announced until to-day.
There were $50 candidates examined The
standard for admission has been raised since
last year, and it is thought that nearly one
hundred pupils have failed to pass the exami-
nation.
