Appeared in Long White Trousers.

The annual gymnaStIc exhibition by
pupils of the grades and the high
school under the direction of Miss Con-
stance Adams and Diedrich Stolte,
physical directors of the schools, held
in the Armory last evening attracted
an audience that was larger than the
seating capacity possible under the
conditions. The greater part of the
floor was necessary for the calesthenics
aud seats could be provided only
around the hail. The work was very
interesting and was warmly applauded.
So far as the boys of the grades
were concerned the occasion was one of
unusual moment, for they wore for the
first time long trousers of white. The
girls wore boomers and MILDLY blouses,
and as usual were as skilful in their
exhibitions as were the boys.
Much of the work was to music with
Miss Harriet f. Arnold at the piano
and the Marche Militaire, an esthetic
dance by the high school girls, was to
the accompaniment of Leitsinger s or
chestra with Miss Arnold at the piano
The orchestra played several selections
before the gymnastic entertainment
started, and played during some of the
/ exhibitions.
Many would have liked to see more
! extended work by the girls, even if it
were necessary to cut some of the Ger
man horse and parallel bar work by
the boys TO keep the exhibition within
reasonable time limits. 1t was nearly
/ 1870 o'clock before the relay race
/ between teams A and B of grade
/ boys had been won by team B.
