better playing than they did last evening
"Misused Energy" by s. j. Horn, an essay
was well worded and delivered in very
pleasing manner. He made use of mum
Der Of original and well selected illustra
tions to prove the correctness OF the position
he took on the subject, and ridiculed the
idea of putting pen knife TO do the work o.
an axe, and criticized men who select occu
pations without regard to physical strength
or ability to ill such positions.
Miss Mary /. McCafrey's essay, "Sone
and It's Mission, }" was particularly enjoyable
and treated ofthe various kinds and STYLES o.
music, and spoke of it as being one Of Gods
greatest gifts. She spoke of the great sing.
ers of the present day and their devotion tc
and love OF the art and the power they WELD
by their voices.
The glee class sang "Holy Mother, Guide
His Footsteps,.' by Mariana, which was fol.
lowed by Miss Fanny Colt, who delivered
the valedictorY, In which she paid high trib.
utes to the President of the Board of Ed.
ucati0n and the principal and assistants OF
the High School and rlosed by bidding
good bye to the class of '83 which she hoped
would take advantage of one golden oppor-
tunity offered and profit by the benefits
received from the public schools which
afforded educational advantages good
enough for the richest and none too good
for the poor.

Grace NJ. E. Church, in comforting the hon Or
prizes for three years standing, said: ''My
place on the program and the lateness Of
the hour admonishes me to suggest but two
thugs: The first is to congratulate you for
I dr success, and the second is to call your
attention to a single truth which bears on
your school life. Every age is marked
by its own success, if you
study the generations OF man you will
as the colors of the rainbow, and are divided
according to the successes of the generation
lin Which they lived. II martial success you
will have plenty of soldiers; If adventurous
you have discoveries; If liberty loving you
have revolutionists; if speculative you have
philosophers. The great thing is to under
stand the demands of the age In which you
live. Temporal success of this age seems to
be the demand. This age requires vigor
GUS Intellectual ability aud he cautioned the
winners of the honor prizes and the grad
yates to keep live their mental ability and
read newspapers, magazines and books, and
suggested that they work out s0me result by
their own power. After speaking for 3
minutes he closed his address by cautioninR
the scholars that having done all things they
should stand and continue on to the end
and urged them to press forward In the
right path they had marked out to the end
and should they fall to fall in the line of
duty. The speaker then presented the honor
prizes to Katie g. Plumer for the best three
years course in the girls department,
volume OF classics end to John A. Clark of
the boys department, the works of Shakes
peare. The program closed with the Sleigh
Ride Gallop by the orchestra.
The feature of the evening was the music
by the orchestra, which was of the
finest order, and was rendered in a manner
that would have reflected CT edit to an older
organization.
The Fest March was perfect and won well
merited applause. -
The public schools of this city closed for
the summer vacation yesterday, aud as is
customary public examination exercises
were held in all of them. The exercises In
all cases were interesting and were wit
messed by numerous friends and relatives of
the scholars. Addresses were made at most
of the schools by the members OF
the school committees and In many
rooms the pupils were given rewards of
merit. 1t would be hard to particularize,
as the exercises in every instance were con-
Quoted in thoroughly enjoyable manner,
and the scholars in every case acquitted
tht mselves with honor. The singing In the
various schools, and particularly in Nos.
and 4, was deserving of the highest
praise. The singing in the girls gram
mar department of the High School
was so far above the average of school sing
ing that it is but just that they should re-
ceive the praise given them.
