the skillful fingers Of the talented young
performers, who played in exact tempo
and with much care as TO expression
aud rhymth. Their full share OF applause
was promptly forthcoming.
The distribution of prizes in the Senior
third, middle first class, etc, was here
taken up, and being concluded the pro-
gramme was proceeded with. The Ger
man recitation set down for Miss Lizzie
Colleran, of New York City, had 10 be

Miss Mary Grubb.
Ave Maria, Holy Maid
oh deign TO hear maiden's vow,
To thee We humbly look for aid
To thee In duplication bow
The heart with sin ana sorrow laden,

And s0Othe the anguish oil her woes.
Ave Maria mother dear

When thy soft smile creation cheereth,
To rest is lulied the stormy gale,
The moon more siyery white appeareth,
The deWs shine brighter Ger the Yaie.

No spirit OF the earth o. air
Shall dare % break our peaceful rest.
Thy child Will SIN and sorrow laden,
In iCwly SupplicstiOn bows,
Then hear, Oh hear a Lowry maiden,
Oh Virgin Mother. hear our vow.
Miss Grub delighted her friends and
astonished those not familiar with her
powers as a pleasing vocalist. The ac-
commandment by Prof. SchOckey was a
most iudiciOus one, and the beautiful
song-one Of the best OF the many OF the
same title-was rendered In faultless
manner. Miss Grubb's voice is a So
prano OF wide compass and much power,
aud her singing is both conscientious
and delightful. Among her rewards
were as many flowers as she could well
carry.
Violin Solo-From Rigoletto. 80. Wichtl
Miss Anna Thayer.
In Miss Thayer'S Instrumentation the
audience was given treat. Her COM
mand over the violin is almost remark
able, her technic being very good, and
she played with much expression
throughout, delighting all present.
Flowers and applause were hers with
out stint, and when she retired IL was
with the full knowledge that she had
done credit to her teachers aud honor
to herself.
TIE announcements OF class prizes
here again Interrupted the programme,
dozens Of the young ladies being called
upon the stage TO receive from the
hands Of Ri Rev. Bishop Kahn the re-
wards Of their Studious industry. When
this was concluded the programme was
resumed with:
Essay-"The Legend OF the Round Table" -.....
Miss Mary Keaung.
To speaker this in terms Of approval
would be akin 10 painting lily. Possess
ed Of a splendid voice, Miss Heating
read her most commendRble essay in a
manner entirely without fault. Her
enunciation was clear and distinct, and
her whole manner Of delivery graceful
and pleasing. Her story was woven
with a master hand, bright and spark
ling throughout, and the author fairly
divided interest and honor with all
others upon the programme.
Vocal Solo-"Grands Valse," Gas sung in Bar
bier de Sevllle.)
Miss Ida Rice.
This very difficult waltz song was en-
titled, by Miss Rice's execution, to 4
very high place upon the programme.
Her voice is most pleasing one, par
tiCularly clear and sweet as TO the
upper register, and she went through
the intricacies Of the solo with ease,
and almost without seeming effort.
The prizes in the departments Of mu-
sic, drawing and painting were here
announced, and again the stage was
crowded with the young ladies who ex-
ce.ed in those studies, each receiving a
beautiful and substantial regard In the
shape Of an appropriate volume OF verse
or prose.
Violin Duo-"Der TrAum der Senueriu".;
....... ............... p. .....-. Aug L0bltzOy
Misses Anna Thayer, Frances sullivan.
Here we had some violin work which
approached perfection. Seldom, even
at Mt. dc Chantal, have young ladies
studying the instrument for the same
or even a longer period Of time, done
themselves and their teachers more
credit, and the applause and subsequent
congratulations showered upon them
was wel.-deServed.
Vocal Quintette-''The Sea Fay" .. Schumann
Misses Ida Rice, Marguerite Neltch, Anna
Gentry, Ella Waterhodse OLIVIA herrisS.
Oita ship glides out at night
on the Chf the sea fay bright,
Chant he sailors her devotion;
Quick they sink beneath the ocean.
- a. 49,, -
AmethyS aud emerald green;
Palaces OF silver glanclng;
Lovely maids Of mien enhancing.
Come the morning breszes light,
Gin nor fairy is i'm sight.
Gone the lutte ship ioreyer,
And return the ail0rs never.
This delightful number was ended all
too quickly. So well was it done, that
the auditors wished il had been three
times as long. The number was sue
ceeded by the awarding Of prizes in elO-
cution, dancing, charges and darning,
and then camel
Vocal Solo-Recitative, "Quella Fonte,'
Aria, "Regnavs mel Silenzio."
Miss OhVis Kerrisk.
This was, perhaps, the most difficult
number upon the entire programme, its
technical requirements being such as TO
tax the powers of even noted prima
donna, but under Miss Kerrisk's care
the obstacles disappeared, and from the
opening Of the recitative to the end Of
the aria there was not noticeable lapse
from the true intent and meaning Of the
composer. Miss Kerrisk's voice is OF
wide compass, very even throughout,
and her singing was one OF the chief
features Of the afternoon.
