CLOsING EXERCISES.


The closing exercises of the School
for Girls were held on Tuesday evening
ct the residence of the principal, Mrs. f.
3. Ewing. on Prince street. The psrlors
were crowded to their utmost limit by
the parents and friends of the pupils.
A bright little German sketch, en-
titled "Herr Meister's German Glass, "
was given by FIVE young girls whose
pronunciation of this difficult language
and whose portrayal OF the various
characters left nothing to be desired.
Ooe Of the pref lest features of the
evening was series of graceful Delsatte
poses by the smallest children In the
school. The Rotations and musical
numbers ware faely rendered, and
when the eveOioV closed with "Tbe
Village We1ding," a chorus from the
opera of "Martha," it was generally
