happy affair, which is characteristic OF the
gatherings. For the past twenty-three
years the strawberry and ice cream feast
followed the commencement night, and
marked the real closing of the school term
Last evening there were goodly number
of the students present besides the menu
bers of the faculty, and four or five young
ladies, members of the Linthicum ORA
matte Club and invited guests. The feast
this year was furnished through the kind
ness of the Linthicum Dramatic Club.
After every one was literally supplied
with cake and cream, the enjoyable part
of the evening came. Mr.. E. B. Hay, as
master of ceremonies, called upon the diff
ferent members of the faculty and students
Of the school for remarks appropriate to
the evening. Addresses were made by
Messrs. John Lewis, Louis DesGarenne.

The Last Car.
Some complaint has arisen over the earli-
ness with which the last car on the Chevy
Chase line leaves for Washington, and a
number of people who have been incon-

the matter. The last car on the Chevy Chase
line leaves the Chevy Chase circle at 11:30
at night People who from Washington go
out to Glen Echo by way of the Chevy
Chase and Glen Eel o lines and return by
the same route are bliged to leave about
IL o'clock in order to make connections. A
