Special Telegram 10 TIE Register.
WASHINGTON, PA, June 13.-Again
Washington has passed another commence
ment season successfully and the usual
festivities connected with the day of the
annual commencement of Washington and
Jefferson College were made most enjoy
able by a.perfect day.i The sky was clear
and the sun shoue brightly all morning.
The many pleasureable suticipatiOns
which this time has for the people OF
Washington and neighborhood always
succeeds in bringing into town IN un-
usual number of guests, and this year did
not prove an exception to the rule, as
ould easily be seen from the number OF
strange faces noticed on the streets, and
frequently at the various hotels.
At $50 o'clock the faculty anG alumni
students assembled ut the college, where a
procession was formed, headed by the
faculty to march to the Opera House
where the exercises were to take place.
As the procession entered the hall the
orchestra struck up march, and the peo-
pie rose as the line entered and took re-
served seats. The stage had been hand
somely and profusely decorated with flow
srs for the occasion, and this, with the
resolute, intelligent appearance OF the
twenty-eight men who make up the grad
uating class, made q beautiful scene.
At few minutes after 8 o'clock the
band again struck up another march, and

to seats on the stage, amid the applause OF
the admiring audience.
