Resolutions Of Respect,

At special meeting of the students of

they unanimously adopted the following res
olutions concerning the sad death of Fred n.
Murch:
Whereas, We,the faculty and students Of Shaw's
greet of the sudden decease of Fred N. Murch, who
was drowned in Sebago Lake, May 9th, 1886 !
therefore we have assembled this evening to ex-
press our deep grief and pay a last tribute to the
memory of our departed friend and schoolmate.
ReSOtUed, That, being overwhelmed with sorrow
at the sudden and swift passage from time to eter-
nifty of our friend we are wholly unable to give ad
able loss we have sustained of one who was our
sincere friend.
Resotyed That the shock we have sustained by
this affecting visitation is augmented more and
more by a recollection of the manly character of
the deceased, who was endowed with traits OF. eX-
all. He was tireless in his industry, clear and
comprehensive in his perceptions and as temper
ate and methodcal in his habits as he was tena-
cious and reliable in his friendship. Such char
acter united with his abilities would have enabled
him to attain his highest ambition but for his I'M
timely decease.
RESOLVED That the faculty and students of this
the deceased their deepest sympathy in their dis
tressing loss, loss which we feel ourselves in on
ly a less degree than the stricken family.
LeS0lred, That copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family of the deceased and also pub
lshed in the daily papers.

The ensembles were particularly fine, and the
ehoruses were, throughout, remarkably
prompt and spirited. The lime-light added
largely to the general effect by heightening
the brilliancy of costumes and stage settings.
OF the various members of the cast it is
proper to state that each is entitled to high
praise for the capital conception of his or
her respective role, and admirable preSenta-
tion;, Little Ida Mule, while almost too
small for the part, yet was so charming in
her vocal qualifications and so cunning in
her acting that she carried her audience with
her. Signor Brocolini assumed the character
of Pooh Bah with great dignity, and vocally
could not have been bettered. Mr.. Olmi gave
especial satisfaction as Pish Tush. Miss
Alice earle was warmly received and sang,
especially her solo near the close OF the hrst
act. Mr. Herbert was an exceedingly
amusing ko K0 and his new topical verses
created shouts of laughter All the fayorlte
members were encored, several OF them Time
