Miss Tillie Reilly's estimate OF Scott as
an intellectual companion was carefully
written and meritorious paper. Sue De-
Gan by saving that as recreation, during
the mast wear, she had read some OF the
standard novels, but in none OF them had
she found such keen delight as IN Scott.
She had mentally crowned him king OF the
writers of fiction, for the Waverly Novels
had power to charm beyond compare with
any others. The authors brightest laurels
had been cleaned in the field OF history,
and she quoted Bronson in support oil her
theory and conception of what historical
novel ought to be. True, SCOTS coloring
was often strong, and his lights and shad-
ows deep, but he WAS dealing with great
events, and was entirely justified. Some
writer's only touched history to nutilate
il, bat not so Scott, and passing on 10
prove how accurate and Just he was, sne
took occasion to say his sympathles were
evidently withthe unfortunate Stuarts,
for in six or seven volumes, he follows the
fortunes of that dynasty.
She thought it entirely natural that
school girls should be in love with this
writer, notwithstanding his stories were
40 often the tales OF battles and sieges, and
concluded by saying reading OF his
works clothed history with new inter
est
The next musical number upon the pro-
gramme was Miss Mary Hamilton's violin
solo. She played with a clear, firm touch,
with self possession and confidence. 10
Iepato passages she was especially happy,
and gave unmistakable sigus of decided
talent and careful study.
The premiums were then awarded to
the Fifth class, as follows: Misses Fran
ces Sullivan, Washington, d. C.; Anna
Flynn, Atlanta, Ga, and Stanislaus Gan
non, McKeesport, Pa.
Miss Mary Donohue's vocal solo, my
Soul is Dark" was the musical gem OF the
day. Her voice has wonderful range,
and was handled with great effect. In the
lines
.But bid thy strain be wild aud deep,
Nor let thy notes Of JOY be first;
! / tell thee minstrel, ] must weep
Or else this heavy heart will burst,
her voice came out particularly strong,
and when she concluded the audience ap-
plauded long and loud.
l.. de Meyers "Marche Triumphal" ar
ranged for piano quartette, was next
PLAYED by Misses Annie Moran, Kate Dee
pan, Jane Duncan and Gertrude Edwards.
The march is fine one, giving one the
impression that the composer intended 1t
for actual marching purposes, and 1t was
splendidly given by the young ladies.
The premiums were then read in the de-
partments of French, German, Latin, Oil
and Water Color Painting, Drawing, Stock
ing Darning, Fidelity to Charges Neatness
and Order, and in the Department OF

The vocal due from Pacini's 'SatfO, by

Was sung with fine effect, and closed the
main portion Of the programme.
