IathOllc) Church, ON yesterday closed
most successful SESSION. During the ses
slon it has had an average of from 81 tt
100 pupils, aid Its corps of teachers ha
been increased by the valuable addition O
Sister Mary Edward, from Emmittsburg
Nd, in the Art department. Yesterda,
the school room was crowded until ther.
was not even standing room to spare. Tht
maj exercises we're conducted by Fathers
McVerry and O'Ferral of st. Francis
Church. The exhibition of proficiency
made by the pupils must have been very
gratifying to the parents and friends.
The Hungarian Waltz, duet, was ere.
dltably performed by two little girls scar
cely seven years old-Annie Walter and
Mamie Burke. The little tots attracted
marked attention and were loudly ap.
piauded. A trio, The Mocking Bird, by
Misses Mollle Burke. Kate Beck and N ora
Fitzgerald was played very sweetly. "Joan
OF Acre, )" a recitation, by Miss NJ. Stack,
and 1.-THE Sword Of Lee,'' recitation, by
Edward Kinney, were received with de-
served applause. One of the most amusing
dialogues of the occasion was Taking
the Census " by Lizzie Wholey and Jno
Donovan. A little fye-year- old-Agnes
Kinney, gave Little Kitty recitation,
with such effect that the audience tried
to recall her. The Valedictory by Miss
3. G. Noon was also admirable.
At the close of the exhibition Rev
