The address to the graduates by Rev.
Mr.. HARDWOOD was inspiring. His
remarks were well chosen and delivered

sun; so, We, while being self-centred,
should have centre apart from our
selves, and that centre the Supreme Be-

swayed their emotions at her will.
The selection "Peculiarities,' which

changes OF expression you saw before you
the characters represented. One "peculi-
arityn of this selection, which perhaps
few noticed, was the effect on the audi

his mouth into the most excruciating
shapes, and glancing about to see II there
were any witnesses to the performance he
saw an array of twisted mouths and con-
torted faces.
The musical portion of the programme
was excellent. Mr.. Brooks seemed to be
the most popular with the audience.
The bass solo by Mr.. Eustis was, perhaps,
the most artistic musical performance OF
the evening. The audience, on the whole,
