 tion Follows.
 The commencement exercises of the Hopkins grammar school took place in North Sheffield hall last evening. Charles Heald Weller, rector of the school, presided, and encircled about the stage were the trustees and faculty in their gowns. The benediction was pro- nounced by Rev. Benjamin w. Bacon, of Yale university, pastor of the college church. The members of the school were seated in the center of the hall and were flanked on both sides by rela- tives and friends, and friends of old Hopkins, practically filling the audito- rum. It was the largest audience that attended the commencement exercises of this school in many. years, and was bubbling with enthusiasm. Every num- Der on the programme was greeted with prolonged demonstrations of delight. The salutatory address was delivered by William Augustine Perry and the valedictory by Albert Merritt Billings Ruddock. The oration was by Robert Ralph Lockwood, his subject being | Theodore Roosevelt, the Man." MT. Lockwood's subject was certainly well 1 chosen, for it is doubtful if any charac- | ter in recent American history has been such an inspiration to Young America as that of the president, and never was the character of public man analysed so favorably, either by publicist, politi- elan or partisan, as was that of MT. Roosevelt by MT. Lockwood last even- | ing. His rhetoric showed conscientious consideration of his theme, and his dic- tion painstaking verbal construction. l His sentences were clear, concise and to the point. They expressed some thing. MT. Lockwood is certainly wor- thy of commendation.
 l The diplomas were presented by Jus l tice Simeon F. Baldwin, of the Con- necticut Supreme court, who is grad uate of Hopkins. The members of the graduating class marched up to the l stage. and as the audience looked upon them in the act of receiving their diplo- mas they observed sixteen stalwart young fellows, all clear of eye, with bright intellectual countenances. Policing the presentation of diplomas was the announcement of prizes. They follow:
