Hold Enjoyable Annual Closing Exercises.
Tho Programme.
At the closing exercises Of the Cath
edral schools, at the Convent hall last
night, as large an audience was present
as at the Convent school commence
ment the evening before. Notwith-
standing the intense heat, the entire
audience remained until the end Of the
exercises, apparently well entertained.
The first number on the programme
was the opening address, by Miles
OMAHA. Miss Maggie Finnegan fol-
lowed with a recitation, "a Time to
Hate" Tho recitation "Give the Little
Boys Chance" recited by the little
boys in concert was exceedingly well
done. Miss Ella Hoe read sensible
essay, entitled "The Ideal Girl" The
boys OF the third class then recited
Somebody" after which the large boys
sang the song Comrades" The dia-
logue, "Aunt Rachel" by girls OF the
fourth class, the recitation, 1.-THE Old
Oaken Bucket" by Harry Hague, and
the recitation, "Choice Of Trade" by
the boys OF the fourth class, we're well
received and literally applauded,
One OF the prettiest pieces on the
programme was the "Doll Drill" by
the little girls. John Michigan, Harry
Gumper and Harry Hague, appeared in
the dialogue, "Thc Deaf Uncle" The
dumb-belI drill by the large boys was
well performed, the boys showing n
good deal of endurance, in holding out
to the end Of the drill. The concert
recitation, "Little Housekeepers," by
the girls OF the fourth class, was follow
ed by the essay, "The Sensible Girl"
by Miss Maggie skelly; the essay was
worthy of the theme. The little boys
then appeared in the recitation. "Pn
put it off," and Miss May Cunningham
recited with fine effect the "Old Mans
4 very pretty performance was the
"Cane Drill and Song" by the large
girls. This was followed by the little
boys reciting "a Smiling Face" One
OF the best numbers on the programme
was reserved for the latter part Of the
entertainment. The dialogue, "a
Champion, Though not Fighter" was
performed with lots of spirit by Joe
O'Keefe, Harry Hague, John McGui-
gan, Michael sweeny and Charles Zoel-
iers. This was followed by splendid
drill" by the large boys, and then
came the anxiously awaited distribu-
tion Of premiums.
AS on the preceding evening, the
names Of the pupils receiving premi-
ums were read out, and Bishop Kahn
handed them the prizes as they fled OF
the stage.
A great many premiums were dis;
tributed for proficiency in studies, and
many little hearts were made happy.

When all the honors had been dis
tributed Ri. Rev. Bishop Kahn gave the
boys little talk, replete with good ad-
vice, and impressed on the minds of the
parents the necessity OF encouraging
their children to come to school, and
the importance of not keeping them at
home for trivial reasons. He con-
cluded by wishing the children happy
vacation.
The whole entertainment was sue
cess, and proved the thoroughness of
the training received by the pupils from
the Sisters
