The art room. which was opened TO the
public on Tuesday morning, proved more at
iractive and showed greater improvement from
an artistic standpoint, than in any previous
year. On entering the room the eye was
attracted by an unusually fine and creditable
display of water colors from still life and ma.
ture. OF these the teacher, Miss Rinehart,
seemed justly proud. The principal exhibi-
tors were Misses Helen Wimbrough, Princess
Anne; Gertrude NJ. Veasey, Pocomoke; Grace

Pauline Barnes, Washington, D. c.; and Lena

Graduates and Faculty advanced and took

closely held to a word limit that they did not
become tiresome and the audience got out
about as soon as usual. We add the program

If there had been crowds in Smith Hall at
the previous entertainment what shall We say
of this? 1t was crush, a jam, mob of
people-so much so that the real good of the
Concert was lost. This fine program was
given almost to perfection, and yet the peo-
pie were so crowded and some so noisy that
the music could not be appreciated at all.
Another year Western Maryland will be
,t,iven to some expedient to limit the audi,
enees. Comments on the separate numbers
of the program would seem unnecessary.
There was not participant in the program
that did not deserve special praise.

mond, were destroyed by fire yester,
day. Loss $250,Oo0; insured. About
200 persons, mostly girls, are thrown
