MONTANA WELL REPRESENTED.
Graduating Exercises of All Hallows'
College at Salt Lake.

College at Salt Lake.
Father Thomas J. Larkin, president
of All Hallows college, Salt Lake, ar
rived in the city yesterday and will re-
main here for one week. The following
account of the 18th annual commence
ment exercises of All Hallows' college
at the Salt Lake theater, published in
the Herald, will be interesting reading
in Butte, where many of the partici-
pants are known. 1t will be noted that
Montana is pretty generally represent
ed by the recipients of educational
honors:
The programme was replete with
bright numbers. Departing from GUS
tom, the Rev. Thomas j. Larkin, presi-
dent of the college, arranged the pro-
gramme so that the musical training
and physical culture of the pupils We're
eXemplified, but their literary and scho-
lastic accomplishments were not slight
ed in the eXemplification of how thor
oughly a student is trained at All Hal
lows
Bordering the footlights was a row of
potted plants and hanging from the
proscenium arch We're the college col
ors of red, white and blue and flags
hung in graceful folds. Besides the local
clergy the guests of honor were Bishop
Seaman, ex-senator Frank j. Cannon,
Father Kennedy of De Lamar, New;
Father keenan,, Father Cushnahan of
Ogden; Father Galligan of Park City,
Rev. c. G. Toilet of Anaconda, Rev. f.
Blair and Rev. Francis Batens of Butte,
Rev. j. Delalmnty of Rock Springs and
Rev. c. Mannion of Eureka. There
were also present the parents of the
graduating class, including many prom
inent citizens from adjoining states.
The opening piece was the Niebelun
gen march by the college orchestra.
Following this John G. DAILY read an
essay on Our Government-Its Merits
and Apparent Defects" The delivery
was faultless and the ideas expressed
in the paper showed a keen comprehen-
sion of the subject. Tracing the evolu-
ton of a democratic form of govern
ment. the essayist expressed the
thought that our own republic has stood
the successful test of merit.
With orchestral accompaniment the
gymnasium classes rendered a drill in
calisthenics, and the senior class in
gymnastics demonstrated on the hori-
zontal bar what makes All Hallows
students strong in body and conse-
quently active in mind.
Other pleasing diversions in this line
were the bar bell drill, club swinging
by John A. Talon and feats on the
parallel bars, intersperSed with reci-
tation by Richard LuXen and the Hope
of Alsace,'' a choice selection by the
college orchestra.
James Cloonan was down for a reel
tation in his inimitabe style and Cliff
ford Dupes was to have played a from
bone solo, but the former had dislocated
his wrist and the latter was suffering
with split lip, and these excellent
numbers were necessarily omitted. In
stead the gymnasium class gave a
splendid exhibition with dumb bells and
tests of skill as athletes on the mat
The college band played the Pilgrims
Chorus and 'Zaleski'' and received
their need of applause
Naledictorian John A. Talon deliv-
cred the farewell address to school
mates and alma mater. From the care
full training of the professors he felt
assured his companion graduates were
the better prepared to commence ife's
battles as young men, and his belief
was that all would achieve their high
aims for the future While expressing
gratitude for all that the college had
done for the class he urged the under
graduates to carry the torches further
UP the heights TO reflect the greater
