 his Savage Who Awarded Medals and Certificates to Meritor-
 -.~'- ious1 Pupils. sE-s

The closing exercises of St. Peters Boys School, which took place last even- ing at Loretto Academy, were marked by the entertaining nature of the program, and the training of the young partici- pants.
 The audience was exceptionally large, and more than filled the seating capacity of the hall.
 The curtain rose at o'clock and the numbers from that time were swiftly rendered and the program moved with an ease which proved the master hand of the director.
 The first number was the patriotic song, My Own United States" sung by the members of the school, with T. McDon- ough at the piano.
 The next was a recitation, Little Earl's Troubles" finely rendered by little E. Devinney.
 Counting Chickens Before They Hatch." was another recitation engaged in by H. Kelley, c. Devinney, and F. Dove, who interested the audience with their proof of the old adage.
 The "Dumb-bell Exercises" which com- posed the next number by the small boys of the school were finely done for such little athletes.
 The next was a recitation, Photo graphs" excellently rendered by Tim Kernell.
 The class song, "I Wish Had Been Born Girl" in a feeling and amusing fashion.
 The next was a dance, the well known Fishers Hornpipe," in which c. and F. Dove won the admiration of the public.
 A piano solo was nicely executed by T. McDonough.
 The following number was a dialogue "RehearsaP' by F. Devinney and class, which was a source of much amusement to the class.
 The next number "An Instrumental Band" by "St. Peter's Musicians" was excellent The little fellows marched in with different instruments, a drum, a flute, a mandolin. mouth harps, bells, and many other varieties. and sang and play ed their way into the hearts of the au- dience.
 'Knaves and Fools" a dialogue, fol- lowed The cast of characters was as follows:
 Old scrudge. Inkeeper and Landlord A. Cassimus. IeRW
 Matty, his Servant-B. Burgess
 Green. a Neighboring Farmer-E. Sands
 key. Wandering Jew-T. McDonough.
 Tim. Travelling Tinker-J. Farley.
 Jenks and Binks, Promoters of imag- mary railroads-W. Nicrosi and T. Court ney.
 This was finely acted, the boys repeat ing their lines with splendid effect, and creating a most happy impression by their dramatic abilities.
