tically concluded and today, tomorrow

Thursday and Thursday night
The exercises of the grammar school
pupils will be held Thursday afternoon
at clock in II unter hall at Chatham
Academy. Each one of the seven gram
mar schools will be represented by
one of it's graduates. The exercises
will consist of recitations and decla-
nations by the representative
of the schools, together with music by
the children under the direc tion of Prof
w. n. Smith. Each school is represented
by its first honor pupil. As there could
be no distinction made where all were
first, the places of salutatorian and vale
dictorian were drawn for by the prlnci-
pals of the schools. Principals Hartridge
and O'Hara were the lucky ones, and the
representatives of Chatham School No. 2
and St. Patricks School respectively
will fill these places.

fill fully one-half the hall, leaving the
other half for their parents and friends
The preponderance of girls over boys
| among the graduates is something aston
ishing, there being ninety-three girls to
ffty-two boys. Either the girls have
been smarter than the boys
this year, or they must have
largely outnumbered them in the highest
grade, perhaps both. st. Patrick sis the
only school which graduates larger
number Of boys than of girls. The num-
Der of graduates of each school is as
follows; Barnard street, 8 boys, IA girls
