SAINT MARy's ACADEMY.


But for the fact that the Fourteenth
Annual Commencement of st. Mary's
Academy, in this town, came oil at night
the attendance would have been as large
as usual AS it was, there was good
attendance and all who were present
thoroughly enjoyed the program. The
exercises began at s o'clock, p. m. and
ended at 10. IL is hard to distinguish
merit, where, everything, from the Sa-
lutatory to the Valedictories Of the grad
yates, bore such great evidence of cul.
ture and training. The drills of the lit
tie ones, especially the Scarf drill, was
enjoyed by all PRESENT, and the plays
Fabiola and Next of Kin, were well pre-
sented and proved that this model insti-
tuition possessed great histrionic talent
in its students. The sweet strains OF
harmony which floated through the spa
cious hall thrilled the audience, and this
part Of the program showed that high
musical culture could be attained at this
Academy. At the conclusion Of the pro-
gram, ice cream and confectionery were
served and the amount realized from adj
mission to the commencement and from
this source, nettcd $4,000. The pro.
ceeds went to pay of the debt lately in
CURED for the repairs of st. Aloysius'
Church, Leonardtown One Of the mo-
ticeablo omissions from former com
mencements was good old Father Jen-
kins, who is now In a hospital Ia Balti-
more. 1t seems TO US that he is neces.
sary to give full effect to anything con
nected with the Academy. It Is the wish
Of all that he will be present at the next
commencement In his absence, Father
Richley addressed the audience at the
conclusion, and Father Lancaster offici.
atod at the distribution Of prizes.
The Academy, situated near the village
Is fairy place, the Rose Hill OF old days
where hospitality was so lavishly dispcn-
sed and where culture and refinement
held sway, could not be viewed In all It's
beauty, on account Of the night We
wished that the moon could have shed
her beams TO soften the beautiful seen
cry and reflect from the glittering Bay.
The good sisters have added TO the nat.
ural beauties Of this old place by the adj
dition Of new aud tasteful buildings,
surrounded by lawn Fl native and OK
otto flowers Long may the Sisters re.
main here aud as long may ST. hary's
Academy flourish
