Too, Too Exclusive.
The auditorium and side rooms OF the
| Cumberland Town House presented woe
begone appearance this morning. Th'
| graduating class of the High School were
| given permission to use it, and 1t is saio
| that a reception was held there for the
regular graduating exercises. The gradu'
| ating class or its committee were afralt
| that the "Hoodlum" element might at
| tend so the affair was made dellcateiy
| exclusive. Even the representatives OF thu
press were forgotten in this scuffie To-
| exclusiveness. Something, occurred how
ever, or somebody got exhiliratingly ex
| elusive as windows were broken, the wall
| decorated with pastry and numerous othe
injuries to different parts of the building.
