| Were we asked to say which one of the selections was the best, we should hesitate. Each one possessed an excellence distinctive from the others, and the manner of delivery was in all cases clear, intelligent and an evidence of careful training. The orations were Interspersed with musical selections by the orchestra and a clarinet solo played by Mr. Martin Soukup, was rendered in his usual musically manner The address to the class by Miss Duffy was forceful and contained much they can take home to themselves and recall frequently with benefit, The presentation of the diplomas was made by Prof Oliver.
