commencement of the carrying out of
the programme the hall was full of peO-
ole, and here and there could be seen
the white dresses of the pupils as they
fitted about converSing with their
friends. Sharply at the stroke of . the

La Eiyandiere." the first number on
the programme, was given by full
chorus. The solos by Misses Whitaker.
GTeget and RYAN were exceptionally
fine. and their voices blended harmOni
Ously with every indication of careful
training. The "SOnate PathetiQue," by
Beethoven. was rendered on the piano
and harp by Misses K. McDonough and
l.. Lamprey in a charming manner.
The audience demanded an encore, but
the leugth of the programme would not
permit it.
Misses E. Kelly, A. BielenbPrg. &.
Haas and \. MalOney then gave a pOr-
ton of one of the scenes from much
Ado About Nothing" They represent
ed the parts of Beatrice, Hero. Ursula
and Margaret respectively. Their FELL
dltiOn Of the parts was very eXcellently
done, and the applause was well
merited.
Then followed trio mandOlinS and
piano, by Misses McDon0ugh, J. Lam
prey and Mallanney. They played ac-
curately and tremendously. and were
requested to repeat their performances,
but they did not respond. The toy
symphony which was then rendered

on the programme. The smallest pupils
in the convent maTchedOut on the stage
10 the accompaniment OF drums. They
were arrayed in costumes of white. with
red caps, collars and SaSheS. Each one
carried some toy having the properties
of noise making. Misses NJ. KeOgh and
X. Ryan played the air on violins in a
very Skilltul manner, and the piano ac-
compartment was played by Miss n.
Ryan. At the proper periods the little
ones blew the whistles, ratified the rat
tied and banged the cymbals. AL the
conclusion of the music they marched
of the stage again.
Miss y. Whitaker, aided by the
chorus. sang the spinning song from
Wagner in an excellent manner. Her
voice was sweet and clear and has evil
IDENTITY been carefully trained. At the
conclusion of the song Miss SunWali re-
cited: Il Once Had Sweet Little Doll,
Bears" A number of the little ones sat
on the stage with dolls in their arms
and piano accompaniment was sWeetlv
played by another. Miss Sunwall, an
attractive and very bright-appearing
little one. rected the piece in a remark
ably clever manner and could have re-
spOnded to as many encOreS as she
desired.
The "Consuella Waltz was the next
number on the programme. The play
erS on the mandOlIns, guitars and banjOs
reached across the stage, and when the
music commenced not another sound
could be heard. The audience so i'm
portuned the players for an encore that
they were compelled to respond, and
after short whispered consultation
among the musicians the mandolins
began softly the air to a tune which
sounded familiar to many ears. Then
the baujOs and guitars Joined in and
the merry strains of The BOwery''
tioated through the hall. There was a
movement of surprise at first. then a
succession Of whispers, and finally a
roar Of applause. The very audacity of
the selection made it 90 with vim, and
the suddenness OF the applause caused
the fair checks Of the players to he
covered with rosy bushes.
The piano duet from the opera OF
"Rig0ietto'' was well rendered. as was
also the representation of figures from
Greek frieZeS by members of the school.
who posed very artiSticallv. This
closed the programme for the afternoon.
and at the conclusion many cOngratula
tons were received by the management
OF tue convent on the complete success
OF the affair.
