In the performances of the various num-
bers there were no failures, nor even an ap-
proach thereto; but there were gems in each
department that deserve particular mention.
In the instrumental music, the solo by Miss
Nettie Clemmens was a ~faultless performance,
exhibiting all the gifts and powers OF care
full training and persistent study combined
with mature talent.
The piano quartet at the opening of the ex-
ercise was enjoyed by the audience. 1t was
u delightful performance, marked by accuracy
of time, delicacy and precision of technique
and correct appreciation of the harmony of
the composition.
The piano solo by Miss Lula Lloyd was an
| exquisite performance. Every requirement
| OF musical skill and sympathy being met.
In the vocal department the solo by Miss
Marie Howard would have reflected credit on
| a profe ssiOnal. Her beautiful tones rang out
clear and sweet as the chimes of silver bells,
| and carried her audience into the realms OF
magical music.
The duet by Misses Sauiey and Gould,
captured the hearts of the audience, and was
a delightful exhibition of the powers of these
two young artists.
In the literary department we are forced in
justice to the young ladies, Misses Ierby
Taubman and Hart. to mention the essay o
each, as an exceedingly rare production, very
far above the ordinary compositions delivered
on similar OCCASIONS. They were distinguish
ed for Originislity of conception, purity O
expression and strength of thought. At the
close of this portion Of the programme, Miss
Floyd Sesrcey in response to urgent and mum
erous requests, favored the audience with
vocal selection. AS a teacher and as a singer
Mjss searcey is very popular in Lexington
Educated in Central Female College, resid
ing among us since she first came a bashfu
little girl, her department and Christian
character have endeared her to this entir
community, and it is the universal decision
that Central Female College would lot be il
self with out her.
Following this was the drill of the class il
calisthenics. This was as it always is,
pleasing feature in the commencement ex'
ercise of this school. The wonderful pre-
cisIon evenced by the class this year is full
up to, and perhaps rather in advance of form
er years. Grace of movement, precise tim
and adrOit maneuver were the interesting
features of the drill, but the rare beauty O
the performers with their grOtesque un
forms and mystic wands made one think G
the fairies in the fanclful isles of dreamland
