Edited and pleased beyond expression
was the audience that gathered yesterday
afternoon in the New-Century club TO
witness the closing exercises Of the Ursu- |
line Academy. Wimlngton's leading Ro-
man Catholic institution for the education
and culture of girls. To say that the en-
tertainment offered by the sisters through
their pupils was appreciated is but mildly |
voicing the sentiments Of those present, /
and it is evident that deeper interest is
now engendering itself through the
friends and those interested in the sue
cess Of the institution II judgment can be
based upon the attendance and onthusi-
asm aroused az yesterdays exercises. The
decorations were noral consisting Of vines
Of roses entwined with the letters U. A.
under which was an American flag There
were no graduates.
The programme opened with MignenetteI
Trio, played by the Misses Marion
Dougherty, Edith Brennan. Kathleen Or
pen. which accomplished for the players
hearty applause. This was followed by a
Welcome Greeting delivered by Miss Eliz-
abeth Kelly, in which the young speaker
thanked Bishop Monaghan the Rev.
Clergy and the audience for their attend
ance supplemented by remarks OF inter-
est 10 the arranged programme Next
came a recitation, lie soir, by the Mlnims-
a bevy of small girls which was gracious
ly done, the execution and unison being
out OF the ordinary. The Song OF the Mar
ket Place, a concerted recitation, was the
next number. This was given by the
younger and the older girls. This selection
was augmented by some pretty march fig
ures the girls being instructed by Miss
Kate McClafferty. which accounts for the
exceliency Of their work One OF the de-
iightful numbers on the programme was a
French recitation entitled L'Envers pes
Cieux by Miss Margaret Kane. The recita-
tion was splendidly given and the enun-
citation and delivery could not have been
better, all Of which shows that the French
course at the Academy is par-excellance.

scenes followed. and tho mission that the
