The address Of the Hon. VIM. L..
Wilson was one worthy of himscIf, his
audience and the occasion, and en-
listed, as an address from him al
ways does, the close attention and
hearty interest of his audience. The
musical portion OF the programme
gave additional evidence, if such were
needed, of the efficiency of Madame
Ruhl and Prof. Max. Brownold rs
instructors in vocal and instrumental
music. The Calisthenic exercises,
conducted by Miss I;uhl, were very
good, and the classes, iii tho main,
exhibited q proficiency of drill worthy
of veteran soldiers. III music, awards
were made as follows:
