red by Rev. G. C. st. Clare and prayer

for all present.

large attendance, which indicates an
increased interest in the association,
was noticeable. There are a goodly
number of older students of our Acad-
envy who we wish might feel an inter-
est in the Alumni and who should
make special Effort as these seasons
come, to take more active interest
and ALI themselves with the Associa-
ton.
ALUMNI BANQUET.
Last evening there occurred the
third important feature in the Com
mencement Program of Peoples's
Academy, when about ninety people
gathered at the Randall to attend
the Eleventh Annual Banquet of the
Alumni Association of that educat.
ional institution.
During the social hour, the hotel
parlors and their inmates were treat
ed to a choice violin solo by Miss
Ednah Rublee, accompanied by Miss
Mary Fisk at the piano, and later
Mrs. Philo Hill rendered a vocal solo
with Miss Lena Irish at the piano.
By this time it seemed that the BAN
queters had attained a sufficiently
keen point to their appetites to en-
able them to enjoy the excellent
spread which Landlord Randall"
furnished them. The banquet is very
highly spoken OF by all who attended.
After the feasters had Statistic the in

in the behalf of symmetry a finishing

AS Chairman of the committee in
charge A. L. Cheney introduced the
Toastmaster, Rev. DR.. Booth and
at the same time he explained how
the Hon. Frank Plumley had been
called into the Government service
and sent to South America as MEM
Der of the Venezuela Commission and
therefore could not be present at the
banquet.
DR.. Booth introduced his remarks
by an anecdote with the gist that MIR.
Plumley is such great man both
mentally and physically that he
could not hope to fill that important
mans clothes, but would try to rat
tile around In them a little.
The order of toasts and those re-
spending to them was as follows -
" Education in Business" c. Fl. Slo-
cum; "The Glass;" Jesse A. Waite;
The Schoolmistress," Mrs. Ella
Holmes Waterman; "The Aesthetic
Factor" D. Fl. Lamberton; "The
Lawyer" T. G. Cheney. About
midway among the toasts, Miss S. |
Carrie Chase entertained the party
for little time with well rendered
humorous selection. Perhaps the
chief hits of the evening were made
by Mrs. Waterman and Thomas G. |
Cheney, who each madesuch remarks
as to bring forth vollies of laughter
and applause, and especially so be-
cause these remarks were pointedIy di-
rected at individuals present. We
here have to speak of the good |
