An Outdoor Commencement Honors
and Premiums.


and Premiums.
The annual commencement of 81. Johns Col
lege took place yesterday afternoon at $50
O'Clock in the grounds Of the college, on YER
mont avenue. The exercises took place in the
open air, and this innovation was found to be a
delightful one. The large shady yard in the
rear of the college building was filled with a
couple of thousand seats, while at the west end
in the shade of the building a large platform
had been erected and covered with rugs and
| around the sides were draped a number of
flags. This platform made a very satisfactory
stage upon which to hold the exercises of the
day and everything passed of most success
fully. On one of the porches of the college
building a portion of the Marine Band was
stationed and from this extemporiZed band
stand discoursed a number q popular airs
during the exercises.

presided and the program included the follow
