Great Throngs Of Interested Listeners.
The Essays Of The Young Ladies

The Benwood City Hall was crowded
to its utmost capacity and then would
not contain all the friends of the grad

immediately assumed charge Of the diff
ferent companies, The line was re-
formed and proceeded over the bridge
and back to the armory, headed by the
full Opera House band.
Last night the annual commencement
ball was given in the armory. In spite
OF the sultry heather, there was large
attendance of former pupils OF the in
stitution and friends. The Opera House
Orchestra made the music for the terD-
sichorean feast, and the floor was at all
times filed with the merry devotees of
the dance. At midnight an excellent
luncheon was discussed.
The exercises OF the day and the ball
last night made up one Of the most nota-
