The closing exercises of the ninth annua
term of the above institution took place il
the large hall Of the Convent, on Thursda,
afternoon, June 18th, 1886, and was attend
ed by a large concourse of friends and pa
irons of the institution. The programm,
consisted chiefly of representation of thu
"Mikado," selected by the Pupils, twho al.
ways are allowed TO choose their own exer.
cises. under the guidance of the Sisteis), anG
the manner in which they executed this
| pleasing opera was received with great favor
| by the audience. Nearly, if not all, of the
| pupils took part in the performance, and
each filled the assigned part with animation
and enjoyment, was apparent from the
| pleasant faces that beamed ioyfully down
upon the audience. Amongst the most
prominent characters, who did exceedingly
well, We have only room to refer to the
Misses Lou. Dining, w. Elliott, Kate White
c. TIiplett, / Feldmann, \. Hull, C. kober
Il. Rookie, and A. ScalZo-and in fact every
one of the younger pupils also did their parts
to perfection; amongst the latter we noted
especially the Misses NJ. Elliott, Mary Won
Roden, L. kaesemacher, NJ. Quigley, NJ.
Glass, and VI. Martin; and amongst the
smaller pupils the Misses \. Tierney, S.
Martin, NJ. Head, \. Hull, and others whose
names we did not get, performed their parts
with distinction.
The performance, divided in two acts, pre-
scented many pleasing episodes and interest
ing scenes, and for over two hours capti-
waited the undivided attention of the large
audience, whose appreciation of the per-
formance was repeatedly demonstrated by
encouraging applause; but the length of time
required for the production of the piece nee
esSariy curtaIled other exercises, such as
the delivery Of essays, dialogues, ETC., etc.
The singing of Miss Dining was very fine,
and the different songs, duets and dialogues
in the piece were performed in meritorious
manner by all, showing that under the i'm
mediate supervision of Mother Rose, the
young ladies are receiving a very useful as
we'll as artistic training.
The Misses L. Brierton and Bertha Schmidt
were the chief musical performers, and gave
a very fine exhibition of their requirements.
Miss Brierton's Military March, and
"Tam O'Shanter," by Miss Schmidt, were
very fine performances, and give hope of still
further excellence in the future.
The parlors down stairs were literally fill
ed with the most exquisite productions of
the needles and handiwork of the pupils,
amongst which the following were most con-
spicuous for the artistic manner of their fin
ish:
A piano cover, beautifully embroidered
with pearl-cheniile erasure and ribbon, by
Miss Clara Grandhomme.
Elaborate designs of ferns, daisies, wild
roses, sumac, peoples, magnolias, waterliies,
etc, worked with crewel, silk and tinsel, in
kensington- stitch, graced number of tides,
tables carfs, table covers and lambrequ1ns-
the work of Misses Bertha Schmidt, Loulee
Dlnning, Angie Scazo and Mile Martin.
A wax horseshoe, adorned with lilies,
roses, passion flowers, lilies f-the- valley,
and forget me nots, (all made of pure white
wax), and beautiful cluster of water lilies,
were the production of Misses Mollie Glass
and Mary Won Roden.
There were elegant specimens of paper
flowers, as PLAQUES, crosses, anchors and
bouquets. The Art Department was also
well represented by landscape and porcelain
PLAQUES painted in oil, panel pictures in In
dia ink, and various designs in crayon-the
work of Misses kittie White, Bessie Bow
man, Isabella Feldmann and Carrie Kober.

a small photograph, by his daughter, Miss
Willie Elliott.
Very fine plain sewing, trimmed with
handmade Medici-lace, besides specimens
of darning and mending, were the produc-
tons of each pupil.
After the performance, the usual distribu-
ton of Premiums and Crowns, so coveted
by the hearts of the young, took place, and
we noticed with pleasure, that with varying
success, each of the pupils carried off their
we'll earned tokens of appreciation bestowed |
upon them for their good conduct and pro-
gress I'm the several branches to which they |
had evidently so faithfully applied them
selves.
