ST. LOUIS COLLEGE.

W. soOlo OULLEuEs
The st. Louis College annual ex-
aminations commenced on Monday
last, and continued over the three
following days Beginning at the
lowest grade, each day rose step
higher. The Brothers in charge
conducted the examinations in pres
ence of a numerous attendance of
interested spectators. Thursday was
devoted to the upper grade-a large
class of bright, intelligent, capable
boys. They passed through a
thorough drill in reading, spelling,
grammar, oral and written arith-
metic, geography, bookkeeping,
algebra, and physiology, with un-
qualified credit to themselves and
their tutors. Yesterday came the
closing exercises. BY three O'Clock
p. M, the hour advertised for the
exercises to begin, the gathering on
the college grounds could not have
been much below two thousand
people. The proceedings opened
with music by the St. Louis Brass
Band, composed of a number of the
school boys, and an exhibition in
gymnastics. The military drill oc-
cupied about an hour. The boys,
armed with rifles and bayonets,
were put through the regulation
routine of facings, marches and coun-
ter-marches; all the movements
being executed with wonderful pre-
cision. Even the diminutive young
soldiers in the company marched
and faced with an erect and proud
martial bearing, as if the defences
of the nation depended on their little
shoulders alone. The military drill
was witnessed by His Majesty the
King, who was present attended by
Colonel Purvis, INTERCHANGEABLE.
His Majesty expressed himself well
pleased with the character of the
exercises. At the close of the mill
tary evolutions, the programme,
given below, was gone through,in
large hall erected on the grounds
for use on public occasions. The
way the seats in that hall were in
simultaneously filled was one of the
finest feats of getting into an audi
ence room ever performed by
crowd. The process was like the
swarming of dozen bee hives. A
polite and cordial invitation was at
once extended by Father Leonoro
to the multitude ''to go out" The
invitation was complied with, and in
less than two minutes, there was
another ''swarming;" this time,
however, his reverence had the audi
ence fixed in a more satisfactory
manner.

The exhibition was, generally
speaking, the self-eyident result of
systematic and patient persevering
drill. The dramatis perSonnae were
selected with mastery adaptation of
the right person to the right place.
