CLASS Day EXERCISES.
The Paper Read Mt Drexei Institute by
...4... Miss Elizabeth Hates.

The business department of Drexel
Institute, Philadelphia, of which several
Wilmingtonians are students, had its
class day exercises Friday.
Miss Elizabeth Kutes Of this city read
the "Stenography Glass History" She
said in part Having come to the end
of this epoch Of our lives would ii not
be well TO take brief retrospect Of our
course, and note the principal events
These events, though seemingly obscure
to the great and busy world, have been
the means Of inspiration and great
pleasure to us since our entrance TO this
noble and elevating institution" In n
style amusing to both the class and
audience, Miss Hates told of the various
escapades Of the members of her class,
together with other incidents which will
doubtless be held in fond remembrance
by the participants therein.
although we have had such pleasant
and cheerful times, we will also remem-
her those of more serious character.
The first occasion was that of the ser
vice in memory Of Anthony J. Drexel,
the founder of our great and noble
institute, who Is held in the most loving
remembrance by us all, though not
known to some of us. But how can we
help holding dear one who has done so
much for us, more than We know how
to appreciate?
"Another event sadly memorable to
us was the death of George w. Childs,
on the morning of the 9Th Of February.
Mr.. Childs' interests were always one
with Mr.. Drexel's. He was loved by us
all, although we did not see much OF
him; but we all remember his words OF
advice given in quiet way from this
very platform.
The speaker told of the organization
and practical work of the Drexel Insti.
tute Relief Association during the past
winter. DIR. MacAlister, president OF
the institute, called the meeting for the
organization of the departments for this
work. To Prof, Spiers belongs the
highest credit of this beginning of 0
charity scientifically conducted. In
bidding Godspeed to the class, she ok.
pressed the hope that the future years
may be as bright and free from alloy as
this past year at the institute has proved
to be.

The entertainment at Union Park
Saturday evening was very successful.
The pyrotechnic display Of the BATTLE
of Gettysburg" was thoroughly enjoyed
In addition, the fine weather attracted
numbers to listen to the fine band play
ing. Three were about 5000 paid ad-
missions Saturday evening. Yesterday
also, both afternoon and evening, there
were good attendances at the park. The
afternoon was the largest Of any Sunday
so far of the season. The order was
very good. Nothing throughout the
grounds could be taken exception to
except by the strictest Sabbatarian
whose ideas are opposed 10 Sunday
music and other popular pleasures.
During the concert last evening the
choir singer from Trinity Church, New
York, gave several selections which
were repeatedly applauded,

SONS OF DELAWARE.
A Pleasant Time at Their Second Quar-
terly Meeting in Philadelphia, Las
Week.

A Pleasant Time at Their Second Quar-
terly Meeting in Philadelphia, Last
Week.
The Sons of Delaware of Philadel-
phia, held their second quarterly meet
ing of this year on the It'll instant, at
their beautiful new quarters in the Betz
Building. II was truly an event to be
remembered, and will mark the begin
ming Of new era in tine annals of the
society. A pleasant incident was the
presentation, by N. S. Barratt, of u
photograph Of Barratts Chapel, one of
Delaware's old landmarks, under whose
roof many of her greatest sons have
worshipped, and in whose cemetery the
names Of her oldest families may be
traced through many generations. This
appropriate gift was most gracefully ac-
cepted by Mr.. Luther Martin, Jr., chair
man of the home committee and the
Rev. DIR. c. W. Buoy.
DR.. j. Il. Garrettson, the well-known
surgeon and writer, added much to the
pleasure Of the evening by an address
and a presentation to the society of
complete set of his books.
Mr.. Richard Fisher commented upon
the great social advantages of the society,
but thought there should be wider scope
of usefulness given the organization and
to that end suggested that the society
should extend not only a welcome to its
| visitors from Delaware, but also have as
its object the education Of young men
| from the State, who otherwise could not
| secure it, and further to assist Delaware
boys in getting situations when they go
to Philadelphia. The suggestion met
with favor, and motion was made and
carried that committee be appointed to
draft such changes in the charter and
| bylaws which would enable the society
to enter into this noble work, than which
none is more commendable.
After the adjournment of the bust
ness meeting the chairman of the house
committee, on behalf of tho art COM
mittee,, opened for inspection of the
members an elegantly-furnished ladies
reception room. Too much praise can
not be awarded to the art committee for
their exquisite and faultless taste shown
in the appointments of this room. The
handsome mahogany furniture, uphol-
stored In leather, is Of the first empire
design.
The attendance was large and appre-
ciatlve. Some OF those present were
