Academy, Darnestown, this county, took
place on Friday evening, June 10, at 8
o'clock. 1t was a brilliant success in every
particular The stage was very artistically
decorated with pyramids OF daisies and
ferns at either end and 10 the centre large
pyramid Of choice potted plants and cut
| flowers An alcove on one side was grace
fully draped with the alag OF our Union"
and surmounted by beautiful arrangement
of nasturtiums in handsome jars. Such was
possible to discriminate between them. Prof
| Nelson and his able assistants had faithfully
performed their duties in drilling the chill
dren, so they were all absolutely perfect In
song, dialogue and Rotations. The musical
| part of the program was very well rendered
indeed, and we cannot refrain from favora-
| BILE comment upon Mr.. Paul Dyson's vale
dictory, which was a scholarly production,
| gracefully delivered. At the conclusion of
the program certificates of proficiency and
| distinction were conferred upon the follow
ing students Carter Clagett, Lawrence
Wall, Robert Il Hodgson, Frederick M.
Reading. Raymond Lyddane, Ivy Yeakel,

offerings were then distributed, and were
abundant and beautiful. This concluded
the commencement exercises of this most
popular school. Prof Nelson and his lovely

charge. The following is the program rem
