Quite number of the base ball I'D.

SACRED HEART COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.

The 14th Annual commencement of
Sacred Heart College took place yester
day, June 22nd, in the College Hall,
which was very tastefully decorated for
the occasion, before large and select
audience from Chicago, Milwaukee,
Watertown and the surrou nding country;
and was fine close to one of the most
successful years in the history of the col
lege. The addresses by the graduates
and students were in every sense OF the
word good. ~. Sullivan delivered an
able essay on "The Importance of Com
merce." w. Sheran, as the representa-
tive of st. Patrick's Literary and Debating
society, gave a. deep and well-timed essay
on the effects of good and bad literature,
and was heartily applauded, while E..
Dryer delivered touching valedictory
address to his class-m mates, in which he dis
played his deep loye for his dear old col
lege home. NJ. Mccarthy and ID. Cahill
also rendered fine selections. The eng
ing under the direction of G.. S. Hawley
was of the usual high standard as here
tofore presented by his pupils to their
their admirers. The Rev. President
Father O'Keefes Introduced the Rev. N .
j. Dorney, Of Chicago, who, in an able
and practical speech, gave many good di-
rections to the graduating class, which
they will probably retain pleasant recol-
lections of as long as they remember the
closing events of their college career.
The graduating class consisted of the
following young gentlemen, who had the
happiness of taking home with them
their commercial diplomas: Dennis
Barrett, GAINESVILLE, Wis; George F.
Dreever, GAINESVILLE, Mimi; Thos. F..
Sullivs.., Redwood, Wis; Edward E..
Dryer, Albert Lea, Mimi; M. Fl. Sulli-
van, Chicago, H.; Geo. E. Wilson, Wat.
ertown, Wis; Ed. E. Hatton, Menomi-
nee, Mich. Joseph E. Kreuziger, Rich

Wis.
The following young gentlemen were
fortunate in carrying off the principal
gold medals: The Johnson gold medal,
donated by Edward Johnson, M. D.,
Watertown, Wis, awarded to Patrick J.
Nelson, Otter Greek, Iowa, for Christian
doctrine. The Devine gold medal. do
mated by VIM. M. Devine, city treasurer,

dollar gold piece, donated by Edward

Y, one of the most celebrated naturalists
and scientists in the world, who, after
many months of labor and experiment,
has succeeded in restoring Jumbo the
Great, perfect in form and natural as life,
and in erecting at his side the tremendous
framework of prodigious bones which
bore the Drawn and sinew of the colossal
Lord lof All the Beasts. Add to these
huge and novel features, "Alice," jun.
bo's wife, recently brought from England,
and we have sights which should alone
suffice to fill Barnum's monster tents to
OVERLOOKING; and yet to them is added
the only International Congress of Giants,
two enormous separate menagerles, three
splendid circuses in three rings, vast
museum of living prodigies, the biggest
herd of educated Elephants, huge ele-
waited stage for the display of Olympian
games, and the only Roman hippodrome.
The chariot, obstacle and other hippo.
drome races will prove most exciting and
amusing; the array of foreign arenic
talent is beyond all precedent, and the
parade will attract tens of thousands to
enjoy its gorgeous displays and unique
sensations. The claim that there is no
room for such another show is certainly
based upon solid, tangible facts. This
generation will never look upon its like
again.

THE LOWER POTOMAC.
A Railroad Proposed to Develop that
Region.

A petition, numcrously signed by
business houses in Washington, Balti-
more and leading citizens, farmers and
planters of Charles and st. Mary's
counties, Md, has been transmitted to
II, ii, Carter, superintendent of the
Maryland division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, urging the extension of the
Pope's Creek Branch of the Baltimore
& Potomac Railroad to Rock Point on
the Great Wicomico Bay. The pro
posed extension is to begin about two
miles below Coxs Station and extend
in direct line distance of about
eighteen miles 10 Rock Point, the cost
of which will be comparatively small, rs
the country Is level and well timbcred,
a steam canning establishment, EN-.
ploying nearly 200 men, and five or six
large stores are located at Rock Point.
The largest oyster business on the
Potomac is located on the Wicomico
Bay, which shipments are made to
Washington, Baltimore, Norfolk and
New York.
During the past winter, rs in many
other winters, by reason of the ice all
navigation on the upper Potomac was
cut Off. All this interrupted trade
could 90 TO Rock Point, and thence by
rail to Washington and Baltimore, and
the Norfolk and New York steamers
could make their terminus there. The
vicinity of Rock Point Is also particu.
larly adapted for summer resorts, and
the proposed extension would place
within easy reach of the people of
Washington the advantages of salt
water bathing, fishing, grabbing, &c,
and excursion trains could be made to
pay from Washington as well as Balti
more. The people in all that section
of Maryland are thoroughly and deeply
interested in the extension, which 1t is
believed would almost pay from the
beginning. II would open up to ad.
ditional settlement and to pleasure
seekers in the summer months one of
the fairest and most delightful sections
of the State of Maryland.
