SISTERS SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
Large Attendance OF Parents and
Friends : Distribution of Prem
iums : interesting Musical and
other Exercises by the Children.
1t was a pleasure, shared by many of
our fellow citizens, which we enjoyed
yesterday at the school Of the Sisters Of
Saint Vincent, on occasion of the closing
of the scholastic year. While waiting
for tho exercises to begin the represent
tative of tho HERALD, in company with
the Sister Superior, the Very Reverend
tho Vicar General of the diocese, Father
verdaguer. and others of the clergy,
examined the specimens of fancy work
displayed in the spacious parlor Of the
school building. This was all the work
of the children, done by them during
the ten months just past, and. both in
design and execution, far exceeded the
average Of such displays, while it mani
Tested also the careful teaching Of the
Sisters. Our attention was called espe-
cially to toilet pet, table, cloth, and
an deliberately wrought blanket.
The platform on which the exercises
took place, was shaded BY trees, and by
flower bedecked trellis, rooted with
boughs. On two sides of this were ar
ranged the seats for the children, while
an appreciative audience occupied the
other two. At the appointed hour, to
the music Of grand march, played by
two of the scholars. two by two. and all
dressed in emblematic white. and blue,
the colors sacred to the Queen of Fl eaven,
the children came upon the stage, salut-
ed the audience, and took their seats
A score Of veritable birds of the green
wood sang very sweetly Wallace
chorus OF that name, after " hich de
serving girls were crowned with coronets
OF white flowers, their number including
some who had not attended the school
for the whole year, and were, therefore,
not entitled to more substantial reward
Of merit. During the browning Diel-
mans Coronation Ode" was sung in
chorus by the school mates of the hon.
ored ones. At intervals during the DIS
tribution Of premiums, which followed,
tries and quartettes were played, and
choruses sung by the scholars, in q man.
ner very creditable to their instructress,
Miss Meyers. One of these choruses,
FL despertar, was in Spanish, and was
sung by children under ten years Of age.
And very graceful calisthenic exercises
were gone through by band of little
ones, each bearing a light pair of wooden
dumb bells, led by one of their own
number, all singing the while, silvery
little songs. The premiums were awar-
dsd as follows
