The Commencement Exercises of That
Institution of Learning Held
Yesterday Morning Large
~ Attended.
MEDALS AWARDED BY REV. F0URCHEGU
Program of Much Merit and Interest
Presented by the Young Ladies
Attending the School.


Yesterday at $3.50 a. IN. the cultured
portions of Santa Fe's society were treated
to feast, musical and intellectual, that
will leave it's beautiful impress on their
minds through many day of llfe's stern
duties.
Promptly at that hour the doors of the
elegant commencement hall were opened
to the invited guests, and few moments
later the young ladies of Loretto academy
stepped upon the stage for the first mum
Der of the well selected program below.
The fair participants were robed in pur-
est white, with no other ornament than
Gods own beautiful flowers.
The music, both vocal and instrU.
mental, was rendered not only faultlessly
but brilliantly. The orchestral selections
were especially fine because of the perfect
consonance with which the tones of the
pianos, violins, mandolins, flutes and
other instruments accorded with one an
other.
The essays were of high intellectual
character and read with such perfect ar.
ticulation and fine meditation that the
audience listened with breathless atten-
tion from the first to the last word OF
each. The ROTATIONS we're masterpieces
of elocutcn, both as to selection and de
livery.
The juniors, in thsir amusing drama
and charming vocal selection, with fault
lessly performed terpsiohorean movement,
delighted the audience for an hour, their
bright aud beautiful costumes giving the
stage the appearance of very fairyland.
In the absence of the Most Rev. p. l..
Chapelle, now in Europe, the Very Rev.
A, Fourohegu, V. G., crowned the sub
graduates and bestowed the gold medals
on the honored recipients. Ten gold
medal, donated by friends of the institu-
ton, for exemplary conduct, Christian
doctrine, science, literature, music, PEN
manship, excellence in GLASS work, etc.,
formed the awards.
At the close of the exercises Hon. A. l..
Morrison of Santa Fe, delivered most
eloquen address to the audience, eulo-
CYSTIC of the high order of the entertain
ment just given and of the thorough edu-
cational work done by the Sisters of Lo-
retto in their Santa Fe academy. Mr..
amusement among the audience, whilst
touching tender chord in many fond
parents heart by the following remark:
~ have been invited by the good Sis
ters of Loretto, year after year, to say m y
little speech on the stage, yet, though I
have done my best every time, they have
never given me gold medal or single
reward Of any kind. Oh! pardon mel
yes they have. They gave me back two
lovely daughters whom | entrusted to
them as innocent childreI-yea, after
years of care and culture, they gave them
back to me highly accomplished young
ladies, and what is best, as Innocent and
as pure as the day I committed them to
Lorettos care in their early childhood.
One returned to the sisters to become n
member of tie Loretto order-she we call
our 'angel'-the other, lovely, pure and
dutiful girl, is still the comfort of our
home,-she says she does not care to be
an angel yet awhile"
