The programme for the evening was most
appropriate interesting and pleasing one.
Mr.. Patrick COnry, president of the School
Board, was the chairman for the evening.
Mr.. Michael H. Britt opened the programme
by introducing Mr.. Conry in few well
selected remarks. Mr. Conry spoke and
paid glowing tribute to Mr.. Free
man. Mrs. William N. Ehrhart and
Miss Name Wasley gave piano duett and
Miss Mahala Fairchild a recitation, after
which S. G.. M. Hollopeter, Esq, made one of
his characteristic speeches which never fail to
win applause. Misses Ramage and Dengler
rendered a vocal duett and Mr.. NJ. p. Whit
aker made few remarks. Mr. John B.
Scheuhing created much mirth by his rendi.
tiOn of "rhe Placidity of the Goat" which
was followed by piano solo by Mrs Ehrhart.

dress by Mr.. NJ. f. Conry and he handled it
in very able manner. Miss Carroll gave a
vocal solo and Mr.. Frank B. Williams added
more mirth to the occasion by reciting
"How to Choose a Wife" Mr.. William N.
Ehrhart was assigned to respond to "Our
Guest" which he did nobly. He spoke
feelingly of the approaching retirement of
his colleague in school work and spoke of him
in the highest terms. After the presenta-
tion of the resolutions Mr.. Freeman responded
and as soon as the echoes of the deafenng
applause that followed the remarks died out
the march to the supper room took place.
1t was a grand testimonial to Mr.. Freeman
and if he ever doubted that the citizens of
this town appreciated the services he has
rendered them in connection with the public
schools that doubt was dispelled last night.
