The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1892-06-16

fh~ k4s3y at the ex-
cellence Of the sHair, and the complete
arrangements made for entertaining all
the guests.
Shortly after ten o'clock yesterday
morning five big carloads boarded the
train at the BsItimore'& Ohio station,
all eager to arrive at the beautiful
ground and school which has been the
center of interest for weeks past to all
the friends and relatives q the fair
pu?ils. ~
DENY Of the Visitation B. v. NJ. is the
one educational institution Of national
fame Of which Wheeling can boast.
From Mexico to the Befmndas, and
from the great Northwest to the pine
forests Of northern New England, 1t has
its best advertisement in the brilliant
accomplishments Of its fair graduates,
many OF them now stately matrons
with daughters of their own at "the
Mount"
Annually the friends and parents of
the pupils gather from far and near on
the eve OF the distribution day, the
day of the year. This year they came,
many Of them, at least, day in ad-
vance to enjoy the thoroughly artistic
representation Of "The Culprit Fay"
the night before.
A good idea OF the magnitude of the
academy was conveyed yesterday by
view OF the trunks of the pupils,
brought into the city preparatory to
their departure for home. A baggage
car was piled full TO the roof with their
luggage. uj6
THE ExEscIsEs. y
At the Mount there was the usual
crush Of people, and it was some time
before all who held invitations were
seated. Soon the opening strains Of the
entrance march were heard 1t was
excellently performed by Misses Blanche
Haase and Eta Thayer at the first
piano, and Misses Louise Flach and
Helen Stone at the second, accompa-
MED by Misses Marie Derrickson, Han
ma Cannon, Anna Thayer, Fannie Sui
Ivan and Geneyieve Moran ontviolins.
As the grand tones sweiled out
through the windows and over the
beautiful grounds, thestudents marched
down across the stage in pairs and sep.
arated on the right and left sides, and
seated themselves. They were greeted
with vociferous applause. - =
After all were seated, the programme
was opened by chorus, "Whirl and
Twill from "The Flying Dutchman,"
by Wagner, in which all the pupils join
ed with voices that blended in harmony.
This chorus spoke well Of tho excellent
training they had received. THIS was
followed by recitation, "Ths Briar
Rose" by Miss Lizzie Colleran, who
completely won the audience by her ex.
celIent rendition and charming and
graceful manner. Shewa the recipient
Of handsome floral offering.
At this juncture Father 0'Conner, OF
Clarksburg, stepped forward and award.
ed number OF prizes. This was re-
peated at intervals throughout the pro-
gramme, the awards to the different
classes being not by any means the least
interesting feature Of the day. A full
