The commencement exercises of
Broadhurst Institute came off Thurs
day night in Elders Opera House.
The "sweet girl graduate" and I'M
der-graduate, too. for that matter,
never fails ''to draw - she has
attractions aside from the merits of
her performances. Taking this in
connection with the fact that The
programme Thursday night was
remarkably well chosen and that
the character of Broadhurst Insti-
tute and the teachers employed
there was an assurance thatit would
be well executed !; it was not at all
surprising that the house was well
filled.
The program was made up of
music, essays and recitations, as is
usual on such occasions, and the
awarding of diplomas was also an
interesting feature. The vocal class,
composed of number of young
ladies, sung several cheruses, which
were executed in good style. Misses
Alma Coulter, Sallie Slaughter and
Minnie Brandon made recitations
and acquitted themselves finely. A
recitation in concert by "The Inter
mediate Glass;" was well done.
Miss Sallie Slaughter read the Salu-
tatory. Her. subject was sour
Southland" and was well consid-
cred dissertation on the prospects OF
the South, that proved its fair au-
thor abreast with the spirit of prog
ress now awake in our section and
which would have done credit to q
masculine brain. Miss Emma Viii.
son chose for subject the following
stanza:
sThink naught trifie,
Though it small appear,
Small sands make the mountain,
Moments make the year."
She entertained the audience with
a fine composition embellished with
pretty language and poetic thought.
"The Horizon Widens as We AS
cend," was pleasing essay by
Miss Maud Gill, of which the audi
ence showed evident appreciation.
Miss. Lucy Wright chose for her
subject Progress" and her essay
was very commendable produc-
ton. The valedictory, "It Will
Frow While thou art Sleeping" was
delivered in excellent style by
Miss Bette Cade. Some of its fare
well utterances were touchingly
pathetic and awakened the smypa.
thies of the audience.
We haven't space to mention the
many musical attractions of the
evening. Probably a vocal solo
by Miss Maud Gill and vocal
Duet by Misses Gill and Bran
don were the most appreciated
performances by the pupils.
Misses Diehl and CHANNEL, teach
ers, gave several instrumental
performances that were fine, and
the latter sung "Kathleen Mavour-
neen' in style that lent additional
charms to the soothing cadence and
rhythmic delight of that always at
tractive song. =,
Before closing this notice we
must speak in genuine praise OF
the recitations with which, Miss
CHANNEL delighted the audience.
She is cultured elocutIonist, and
possesses in an eminent degree the
subtle quality that attracts and
holds fast the attention of her hear
ers.

The Department Orders Its Removal to
SiNteenth street.

Yesterday a long and anxiously ex-
pected document from the Postmaster
Generals office came to Postmaster Jones,
and the question of the location of the
Postefice was settled. The instructions
direct the removal of the Office to Six
teenth street, and further dcsignates a
store in the Warren block as the site of
the Office. The place selected is a triie
larger than the room now occupied by the
Postofice, but its superiority over other
proposed locations does not appear to an
observer up a tree.
The removal will be made as soon as
possible but the exact date cannot now be
given. 1t is hardly necessary to add that
the change was made uDon the recon-
mendation of the Inspector, who visited
this city some weeks ago, nor that the
voluminous petitions did not figure con-
~spicuously in the consideration of the
proposed sites.

THE FAIR.
Successful Entertainment for the Benefit
of the Sisters School.

Library Hall was well filed last even
ing at the opening of the series of en-
tertainments for the benefit of the Sisters
School. There were flower tables and ice
cream tables, and a fancy table, and a
table where the seductive lemonade was
sold, and in the ordinary, tables which, to
use the good old phrase, fairly groaned
with their loads of good things. Situated
neal the alcove was a fine bed room set of
three pieces which the congregation pre-
scented to the Fair. The set will be ratified
Thursday night and already wei five
hundred chances have been sold. The
fancy table. while not large, is elegant.
Among the noticeable articles displayed
are a rich table scarf presented by Mrs.
Henry Harrington, 4 silver jewel case,
from n. n. Craig, a velvet %stereoptican
from j. c. Baird, several expensive books
from friends in other cities and a variety
of rich articles which could not be men
toned in a column.
The flower table was presided over by
Mrs. Mulqueen, Miss Nugent and Miss
Anna Conroy. At the ice cream table
Mrs. Shannon held sway. The lemonade
was served by Mr.. Winters. Mrs. Oney
Finnegan and Mrs. Mcdonald are in
charge of the fancy table. The refresh
ment tables were under the supervision of
Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Murrin, Mrs. Burns,
Mrs. Fred. Post, Mrs. Brennon and Mrs.
Fisher, while the menu was under the
charge of Mrs. Mckay and Mrs. Conroy.
The fair was a success last evening, and
