- Commencement Exercises.
from Fridays Daily.]
The commencement exercises given by
the scholars of st. Mary's school, yester-
day, to close the school year, only re-
peated the excellent history Of that in
stitution, and won many new laurels for
its charlottesville sisters of charity.
Long before the exercises commenced,
only standing room could be obtained,
and that for only a short period. The
assembly room was beautifully deco
rated with flowers and emblems. Over
the door through which the children en-
tered to recite was a floral wreath
and a statue of Christ enduring torment
on the CROSS. On either side were roses.
Over the entrance and directly facing
the audience was the word "Welcome"
inscribed in bronze letters. The draw
ing room opened to the left from the
main recitation room. This was also
gayly decorated with flowers and roses.
The entire program, as previously pub
lished in these columns, was pleasing
and faultlessly rendered. The little
children spoke loud and clear; the vocal
music was by we'll known talent, and the
instrumental music deep and melodious.
Perhaps it was due to the gayly deco
rated room, or some other cause, but
never before was an audience more east
ly moved, or did ever piano OF mandolin
strains sound sweeter, than those rem
dered by the pupils of Sister Marcella,
who is a very proficient instructor. Her
Institutional life is all given to this one
pursuit and the results attained by her
scholars will compare with the best.
After the program had closed, Father
Martin spoke a few words for the chill
dren. His address was one of welcome
welcome to all denominations. One
incident that could but excite admira-
ton was the closing tableau, entitled
"Thirteen Original States,"a little girl
representing each of the thirteen. On
an elevation was the queen of American
patriotism, who proudly waved the
American embl4m to the time of "Co-
lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean,"
