THE FIrTY-sECOND ANNUAL COM
MENCEMENT EXERCISES HELD
YESTERDAY.
THREE IN GRADUATING CLASS.
A SPLENDID PROGRAMME MAGNIFI-
GENTLY RENDERED.

Hendricks of Visitors Made the After
noon Journey to This Noted Insti-
tuition of Learning, and Were Re-
warded by a FaultIess Entertain
ment, in Which the Best Tradi-
lions of the Mount Were Well
Maintained.
The fifty-second annual commence
ment of Mont de Chantal took place
yesterday afternoon in the commodi-
GUS music hall of the institution, and,
as usual, attracted a very large audi
ence from this city and vicinity, and
of strangers from many remote points.
The day was a perfect one, the ar
rangements in keeping with the best
traditions of the school, and the entire
affair was one adding decidedly to the
record and reputation of an institution
celebrated not only throughout the
United States but in many foreign
countries as well.
The graduating class numbered but
three, they being Miss May Belle Ash
more, of Washington, Pa; Miss Mar
cissa NJ Fox, of Milwaukee, Wis.,, and
Miss Rose E. O'Brien, of Pittsburg.
The special train left the Baltimore
and Ohio depot at p. M, and carried
at least six hundred ladies and gentle
men. 1t arrived at the Mount in a
very few minutes, where every prepa-
ration had been made to receive the
visitors. The visitors scurried from
the cars, and were soon scattered
along the winding path which leads
from the railroad station to the i'm
| mense building, there being the usual
and familiar rivalry between both
| ladies and gentlemen as to whom
should be first at the main entrance.
Admission was by card, and courteous
attendants were at the doors to re-
| ceive and direct the visitors, while
within the Sisters greeted old friends
and new with that courtesy which is
a time-honored attribute of these an
nual functions. Rt. Rev. Bishop DON
| ahue and members of the clergy of the
| diocese were at hand, as were also a
| number of visitors from afar, who had
arrived at the Mount earlier in the
| day.
Within fifteen minutes after the ar
| rival of the train at the station the
halls, stairways and corridors of the
immense building were filled with a
happy and expectant throng, and there
were innumerable greetings inter-
J changed. The ushers, assisted by the
Sisters, rapidly disposed of their guests
| within the main hall, and within a few
minutes of half-past two o'clock the
! pupils of the school made their ap-
| pearance and took their seats in front
| of and upon either side of the stage
| to the strains of the entrance march,
