celebrated its organization by holding ap

pleasant one, which added much to the en-
ioyment of the occasion. The church was
tastefully trimmed with leaves and flowers.

of whom took their dinners and remained all
day. The exercises were opened at 10 a. m,

quires the widening of Addlesperger alley

that the land required to widen said alley be
taken from the properties on the north west
side of said alley, in accordance with the
petition filed and notice given for that pur-
pose, no objections having been filed or stated
orally to the Council against the matter herein
determined; and further, that the whole
amount of damages that may be given for the
land that may be taken, and the expenses OF
the commissioners hereafter appointed, and
of the jury (if any,, shall be assessed by such
commissioners and by said jury upon the
property adjacent to said new street, in pro-
portion as it may in their judgment be bene-
flied by the opening of said street; and fur
Their, that Messrs. E. o. Grimes, E. j. Lawyer

The regular annual commencement OF

of June odd. 1t was held in the parlors of the
institution. Notwithstanding rain poured in
torrents, u large number were present to wit
ness the closing of the last and most success
full term of the school, under the management
of the Misses Beach.
The exercises began with an invocation by
Rev. S. w Beach. The salutatory was
beautifully and effectively delivered by Miss
Sadie Kidgely. .Non Ebes,i vocal solo,
by Miss Maggie Stem, was SO well executed
as to elicit repeated applause from the audi
ence. aux Italiens," (Bulwer- Lyltonl rec
itation, by Miss Amelia Fisher, was Happy
selection. The declaimer seemingly was pos
sessed with the spirit of the writer, delivering
it to perfection.
Several dialogues occasioned much merri-
ment for the excellent manner in which they
we're rendered, and the humorous characters
they presented One might particularize the
part taken by Jervis Ridgely, who played
to perfection the role of Country Parson.
In each the keen sense of the humorous was
mt to an admirable use by Miss l.. Hewitt.
t'Der Weiber6end," dialogue in German,
was well given. The valedictory, a beautiful
composition, from the pen of Miss Hewitt,
an electic student in German, French and
literature, was read by the author IN very feel
ing manner. Throughout it was replete with
sentiments of deep affection and love for those
who have so long directed her educational
course.
Before distributing such prizes as have been
annually awarded to pupil or pupils excelllng
in department, attendance and scholarship,
a handsome volume was presented to Miss
Lillian Hewitt, by Rev. S. w. Beach, IN be-
half of the teachers as a token of their esteem
and good wishes. Gold medals were then
awarded to Misses Sadie Ridgely and Maggie
Stem; gold pen to Miss Lou Dorsey for great
est improvement in penmanship; certificates
of good scholarship to Misses Lura Duvall,
Hilda Stem, Ella Zepp, Hattie Gallon, Emma
Duvall, Matte Devries, Grace Scrivenor, Lou

In the primary department prizes were
awarded to Allie Bennett, Willie torsythe
and Basil Owings. For essay writing, LIST
prize was awarded to Amelia Fisher; End to
Miss Sadie Ridgely, and the Srd to Miss
Hilda Stem.
As intimated, the Misses Beach having re-
signed, will soon leave Sykesville for the
worth Their departure is however much
regretted by many who were patrons OF the
school, and by host of friends made during
their residence in Sykesville. As teachers
they have been very successful and have made
