duly opened and exceeded the most san
quine expectations of its founder by spring
ing at once to the front rank in popular
favor. This year the exhibit made by this
college occupies a position in the south
wing OF the balcony, directly over Ma
chinery hall, and is of such a character as
to arrest the attention of everybody. The
arrangement is tasty and contains no
drawings and frames of calling cards that
have previously been on exhibition
but everything in it is bright, fresh and
crisp, and gives evidence that everything
in connection with the institution is fully
abreast with the livest methods of the
times. Here are shown all manner of blank
forms used in practical business of which
pupils are taught the use in actual business
transactions. Specimens of business pen
manshlp, card writing and ornamental
pen drawing are of such excellence as to
command the admiration of either the or
dinary observer or connoisseur. Teleg-
raphy with instruments at work, short
hand writing illustrated by blackboard
work and active operators with type writ
ing machines, all serve to show the scope of
work included in the college course. The
work Of the pupils is thorough, aud as a
result over twenty-five have been placed in
responsible mercantile positions during the
past six months and are rejecting credit
not only to themselves but to the institute
in which they acquired their training.
