say that DIR. Henry Holton OF Brattleboro,

interest. Miss Dale illustrated her part by
singing several familiar songs with great
sweetness, thus adding an entirely new fea.
ture to the program. The sautatory and
yaledctory were brief and more original
than usual. The church was trimmed with

of beautiful red roses on the piano. Lett

and another in the two parlors thus en-.
aiding over 60 to be served comfortably,
a great improvement on the arrangement Of
previous years Landlord Burke outdid
himself and nothing but the highest praise
was heard of the menu. Several prettily
dressed young ladies from the seminary act

After all had enjoyed the good things
to eat the following toasts were called:

Dr. Holton is evidently q master of toast

hints.
As Judge Waterman was unable at, the

him was read and also a letter from Rollin

the mem bership of the association and to
call an adjourned meeting to decide upon the
disposition to be made of the money in the

Friday evening the graduating class as
sisted by Professor and Mrs. Lewis re.
ceived their friends in Seminary hall, where
the events of the day were discussed at
length The absence of clergymen was not
ed during the day but Jack attended the
reception, taking his pulpit with him and
preached eloquently of the woods and flow
ers from one corner of the platform few
times during the evening the tongues, or at
least some of them, were stilled while Miss
MAY Howe and Miss Hazel Taft played and
Miss Esther Dale sang. The hearty ap-
plause showed the appreciation of the mu-
sic. Miss Dale has been studying in Chi
cago during the past year and her singing
always sweet and natural, shows an added
finish that is most pleasing
The Martin-Parks Wedding.
A pretty wedding took place Wednesday,
