The programme un-I der' the management of Mr. Reuben Final, whose unexcolled ability and good taste in preparing and assisting at concerts has been often displayed- in the past, both in the college circle and elsewhere, was superior' to any_ in the past. Every effort put forth tul make the concert a grand success was amply rewarded. ‘Each number, was excellently rendered, both by thoso who had performed on past oc- casions as well as those who for the ilrst time have taken part in college ehitertainments. Afteir thc rendition of the programme the Reverend Rec- tor arose, and in a fc-w concise and appropriate remarks complime'nted those who took par; in the evening's perfonmance, and concluded by wish- ing all a very pleasant vacation. This was followed by remarks- from the Fathers of Faculty. The programme was as follows: Duet, “My Old Ken- tucky Home," Misses- L. Casey, B. Mombourquctte-; vocal solo, selected, Stephen McQuaid' (encoreri) Frank- lin; piano duet, "The Sylphis," Messrs A. Coran, A_. St. Pic-rro',-Bochmonn; vocal solo. “Because Your He-art," Mr. R.
