The biographies were true but somewhat
disguised. The name of the author was not
mentioned, and the place of birth, residence,
etc, were denoted by descriptive phrases that
would tax the hearers ingenuity and test
his literary and geographical knowledge.
Dates, too, were given somewhat indefinitely,
by such phrases as ''near the beginning of the
present century," or sin the last quarter OF
the eighteenth century" The authors thus
treated of were--foilowing the order Of the
programme-lD, Byron, 90 Jean Ingelow,
(3) Moore, a. Holmes, (5) Whittier, (6)
Alice Cary. The rectations, solos, etc, gave
an interesting variety to the exercises, and
some of them were admirably given. Jean
Ingelow's ''Songs of Seven" were recited by
six young ladies. The last one (Seven
times Seven-Longing for Honey was
especially touching and beautiful, and in one
place. where the sentiment indicated 1t, an
invisible chorus sang in soft, tremulous
tones "Home, Sweet Home" while the re-
otter paused and listened. as If the notes
came from that "home'' for which she was
longing. One young lady gave Holiness
"Aunt Tabitha" very prettily and coquet
tishly, and young gentleman gave "The
September Gale"-an exceedingly funny Sc.
lection which was well given and received
with shouts of laughter. From Alice Cary
"The Fisherman" was recited very effective
lip. The solo from Byron, and the quarte
Crhe Last Rose of Summer) and duet from
Moore, are also worthy ofspecial mention, a:
are some of the other exercises, If space
would permit At the end of the exercises
the president gave the names of the authors

Copeland will lecture. The net proceeds (i
there are any, are to he divided between tn,
two literary societies.
