ST. MAR1's SCHOOL, Hno.
We had the pleasure of being present on this

animation. 1t took place on Wednesday, the Nth
inst. The programme was we'll carried out. There
was a numerous audience. The clergy present on
the occasion were the Very Rev. Father Leonore,
from Honolulu, Rev. Father Pouzot, and the Rev.
Father Bonaventure, the resident priests.
The examination commenced at a. N. 1t was
ushered in with vocal music, and an opening adj
dress by one of the pupils, Herman Victor. The
second class was examined in reading, spelling,
dictation and arithmitic by Brother Ignatius and,
though for the most part junior pupils, the result
was very satisfactory. Brother Joseph, the Supe-
rior, then examined the more advanced pupils.
The course was reading and definition of words,
spelling, arithmetic, mental and PRACTICAL dicta
ton and sentence making, geography, ETC., etc.
This concluded the examination.
Specimens of drawing and penmanship were ex-
hibited; many of the drawings were very good.
After a recess, during which lRaH was held, the
second part of the programme was commenced at
p. m. 1t consisted of declamations dialogues
and drama in two acts relieved at intervals by
vocal and instrumental music. OF the dialogues,
that between Kaia and G. Laupai-the speller-
attracted considerable applause, while that be-

the rival speakers-receiyed no less appreciation.
but the comic song, entitled the "Hilo Band" and
the play The Sausage Makers set the audience
in a roar. The performance concluded with the
national anthem, and distribution of premiums
