round OF pleasure and profit.
The sermon of Sunday morning,
preached by Rev. f. w. Eberhardt, of
Parle, his subject being, "a Concealed
Gospel and the Gospel Revealed"
handled as it was in Rev. Eberhardt's
usual brilliant style, was model of
pulpit oratory, specimen of the
gospel wisely aud fi,tingly expound-
ed
On Sunday evening sermon was
preached before the Y. NJ. G, A. by
DR.. J. I'll. Eagee, Of Louisville; sub.
iect, "A Hard Choice and it's Happy
Outcome" The young men of the
Y. M. O. A. were exceedingly tortuu-
ate ia obtaining such man as DR..
Eagee to address them and much
pvofit as we'll as enjoyment could be
gsined from his more than excellent
sermon.
On Monday afternoon piano recit-
al was gwen which fully proved the
proficiency OF the pupils and the ell.
cheney of the instructors. Miss Over
street, the principal of the music de-
partmenr, has no small reputation on
account other beauty of lingering,
great knowledge OF technic and her
: exceedingly intellectual rendering of
music. She fully understands all the
most excellent methods of instruction,
and the exceedingly good rendering
of the music by her pupils proves
fully her ability to impart her great
knowledge to others. Several vocal
numbers were we'll rendered and
Showed no small degree of talent.
The literary societies had the great
pleasure of listening TO a most excel
dent and learned lecture by DR.. B. L,
Whitman, d. D., OF Washington, d.
G.. Each year the literary societies
are very fortunate in securing good
speakers and in consequence are the
recipients of beneficial addresses,
The vocal recital on Tuesday after
moon, with piano members, was a
musical treat of more than ordinary
excellence. The vocal teacher, Miss
Dorst, most excellent and competent
instructress, possessed of well-cul-
tivated voice, has done some fine work |
duSing the past year in training some
voices of much natural ability. |
Choruses, solos and quartettes, all
wei rendered by sweet and well cul-
ti9ated voices, were necessarily much
enjoyed. .........
On Tuesday afternoon there was
also the first annual meeting of the
Woman's Association of Georgetown
College, where the address was deliV-
cred by Mrs. S. w. Maury. of Louis
vile. This movement is one which
is destined to be of great benefit to
the college, and we wish for it the
greatest possible success.
Rev j. S. KiItley, d. d., of Kan
sas, delivered an address before the
Student's Association on Tuesday.
His subject, "The Higher Meaning of
Money" was well handled and very
beneficial to all.
Wednesday morning was the time
,Gf the commencement proper and
Zach and every one of the graduates
looked their prettiest while acquitting
themselves in manner BETTING
those about to leave Georgetown Col

of the Society diplomas in the after
noon was scarcely less important
feature than the delivery of the co
lege diplomas in the morning, show
ing as they did that tnose who then
went forth into the vast field of the
world had nobly done their duty in
these, the humber spheres,
On Wednesday night was the
Presidents Levee. This great event
is the yearly source of much unalloy- !
ed pleasure to a great number of the I
students. The grounds of the Presi-
dents residence gailY decorated and
illuminated with countless Zig hts, pre- q
scented vision of undszzled brillian- {
oy, while joyous music added q two
fold pleasantness to the scene.
