Pleasant Commencement Exercises Held
Last Evening
The annual commencement and distri-
button ofpremiums Of st. Joseph's Acade-
my took place last evening in the Music
Hall of the Academy. The attendance of
pupils is larger than in any former year.
One could judge from the students occupy
ing seats in front of the stage that the en-
rolled number attending the Academy will
foot up nearly two hundred, fine show
ing for a select school in this city. 1t is
gratifying to know that the claim these
good ladies, who devote their lives
to the education and religious training of
youth here, is recognized and appreciated
by so great majority of parents. The
stage was tAstefully decorated, the orna-
ments being few but beautifully conspicu-
GUS in their arrangement. The programme
rendered was as follows:

The above programme shows the STAN
dard in music and elocutiOn. To appre-
ciate it fully it must have been heard as it
was rendered by these amateurs last even
ing II is to be regretted that space forbids
particulsrizing The voices in the solos
were very sweet and many of great COM
pass, Miss Rose Tucker, Mrs Su Riester,
Misses Morgan ard Lotus acquitting
themselves especially well. The choruses,
considering the number in each, were
second to none. The instrumental
performers ranged from those who
played the first piece in public to those
who 'swept the chords with natures
touch" The German selections gave evil
dence of a thorough knowledge of the
beauties of that language. OF the recita-
tions, mention must be made of Maggie
McFadden, who is a little child. The cor
rect manner in which che expressed the
varying sentiments of the "Voices of the
Winds" will be one of the things that
those who heard her will long remember.
Rose Gsrrity's recitation almost touched
perfection.
The hall was literally crowded, while
many occupied the extensive porch along
side the hall. At the conclusion of the
programme Rev. Father Reynolds, Of
| Wells1--e, oe~a~otsA che dirtEibutiOn of
the premiums, and after this had been
completed the announcement was made
that Miss Ella Weitzel was the successful
contestant for the Sullivan medal, which
was received with generous applause. Rt
Rev. Bishop Kain gave a pleasing little
talk, which added to the happiness of the
occasion and the exercises were over.
