| ing and attracted an audience sufficiently
numerous to fill the house at an early hour.
As will be seen by the following programme
the exercises were Of a superior character,
and TO carry them out successfully required
| the most careful attention to detail and the
! intelligent support of scholars in more than
one accomplishment, for they included
! declamatOnS, music, pantomime and lnstru-
mental music.
Principal LySer and his assistants must
have been more than satisfied at the work
! of their pupils last evening, for the pro-
| gramme was executed without a hitch,
| while in each number the interest was
| maintained to the end, and nearly every
! piece called forth the liveliest expression Of
| delight from the audience. The literary
| part If the opening exercise was limited to
salutatOry by Mabel SeliG ana the vale
| dictory by Henry Edwards.
| Instead of presenting his own class, Prin-
| cipal Lyser asked Deputy Superintendent
| Babcock TO take his place. When the latter
| appeared he was warmly welcomed by the
| assembled scholars. who seemed delighted
! to welcome an old friend. He made a brief
address, and then gave way to Superin ten
| dent John SWEET, who was down for an adj
| dress.
| SUPERINTENDENT SWEET.
II this gentleman has had occasion to feel
| gratifed it was last evening, for every refer
ence to him was the signal for applause,
| bat when he stepped from behind the scenes
| the welcome was spontaneous and long con-
| tnued. He was yiSibly affected by the
| demonstration and responded in brief adj
| dress of congratulation TO the parents of the
| pupils and the teachers for their efficient
work during the past year He then dis

the school play Friends or Foes" and an
