THE ENTRRTAINMENT.

On Friday evening last, a literary and musical entertainment was given in the upper hall of the Academy. ‘The room was tastefully decorated with evergreen; and ornamented by pictures in oil and water colors—the work of pupils under the direcs tion of Miss Reid, Over the platform was the motto, ‘Religio, Scientia Libertas. The audience was large. Many preseut were obliged to stand, Dr, Richard John- ston occupied the chair. He delivered a

present, Vatrick McCabe, Esq, occupied the chair. The matter before the meeting was this. Some time ago the Board of

Works decided to build a wharf at Hag. gerty’s, Hillsborough River, a Bridge at Johnston's River Creel Road, and to open a new line of Road from Shepherd's Hill to Southport. Suhsequently, by a petition of the inhabitant: of the locality, the loard was asked to stop those works and to ap- ply the money to be expended upon them to the building of a bridge at Hickey’s. The meeting was called to ventilate the matter and to ascertain the grounds on which the petition was based. diseussion and explanation, it was unani- mously resolve! that the Board of Works be requested to proceed in accordance with the original intention. A resolution condemning the letters of ‘ Watchman,’ in the Herald, was also passed.

After some

brief preliminary address. Reverting to the oral examinations, which had been

/heldon Wednesday and Thursday, he said

that it was the unanimous opinion of those who were present, that the work, both of teachers and pupils had, during the past year, been well done—that the principles of true knowledge had been imparted and learned. In behalf of the trustees, he stated, that no pains nor expense would be spared to obtain for the institution the best educational ability the Dominion would afford. ‘They were about to be dex prived of the services of Principal Ander- son, Miss French and Miss King—to whom was largely due the success of the institu~ tion in the past; but they believe the places of those eflicient teachers would be filled by others at least equally capable.

the entertainment proper commenced with an instrumental duet by Lizzie Currie

and Emily Weeks, which was well perform.

A Reading, ‘ Absalom,’ by Miss Annie Hodgson — whose enunciation was very clear and distinct—was next on the list. Then followed an instrumental duet by Mabel Bourke and Maggie Rankin; a Reading by Miss Gregor, an instrumental duet by Frances Anderson and Ada Barr—all good.

lA song, ‘In the Maytime,’ sung in chorus,

was simple, pretty and wellrendered. An instrumental solo ‘Martha,’ by Dottie Lowden, was executed in finished style. Emily Weeks followed with a reading, ‘Wreck of the Hesperus,” which was ap-

preciated ; and Hannah Butcher sang a

song ‘ Fading away,’ which was much too

melancholy for the occasion. An instru-

‘mental duett by Hattie Davies and May

McGowan was well rendered and well re. ceived, A Reading, ‘ The Eclipse ’—a rather poor selection, read with a good deal of spirit—was then given by Dottie A song, by Mr. Herbert Beer, Beer has evidently been training his fine baritone voice with care. Should he continue to do so he will one day bea crack singer. A Reading, ‘Nothing Whatever to Wear,’ by Bessie Knight, was the best read piece of the evening. The reader was not old enough, perhaps, to discern the peculiar beauties of the stilted style. Mer voice is clear and musical, and her utterance suffix ciently slow. A song, ‘The murmuring sea,’ by Lizzie Moore, Miss Jost, Hattie Finlay and Miss King - was very well sung. An instrumental trio by Mabel Lourke, Sissy May and Bessie Knight was rendered in a style worthy of much older fingers. An instrumental duet by Mittie Beer and Edith Moore was also well done. A Reads ing. ‘ The Bachelor's Complaint,’ by Master Wadman, was amusing. An instrumental duet by Wille Brown and Miss King— rendered exceedingly well—brought the entertainment to a close.

The most interesting part of the pro- gramme was, however, yet to come. Prins cipal Anderson read a list of those pupils he would advise his successor to promote. The following is, we believe, a pretty cor

Principal Anderson, in a short address, tovk formal leave of the school. He exs pressed his sorrow at the parting, and said that he would ever remember the kinds ness which had been shown him by many friends. The trustees had, he believed, obtained an exceedingly able man to take his place; and he had no doubt that the institution would be as successful in the future as in the past. For his part, he would always feel the liveliest interest in it, As soon as he had finished his address, little Miss Edith McNeill stepped to the front, nnd on behalf of the scholars, pre- sented him with a silver pitcher—and a parting address.

The Principal said that the beautiful and costly present had taken him by surprise. He briefly expressed his gratification. and complimented the pupils on their obedience

and the ready compliance with which they |

had invariably met his wishes.

W. E. Dawson, Esq., Secretary of the Academy, stated the past had been the most successful year for the Institution, and that the trustees thought it advisable to procure the services of an additional male teacher, An additional lady teacher might also be procured.

The audience joined in singing ‘Shall we gather at the river;’ but an attempt to raise ‘God save the Queen’ owing to some hitch ‘failed miserably.’

PRINCE OF WALES COLLEGE.

The attendance of pupils and spectators, alike, was, we were pleased to observe, larger on Friday last, than on any Midsum,s mer Examination we remember. Of spectators, there were present the Lieuten ant Governor, the Chief Justice, Judge Hensley, Judge Reddin, Revs. Daniel Me- Donald, 8. G. Lawson, and D. McNeill, Secs retary of the Board of Education ; Mrs, J. Ings, Miss Robinson, Miss Broad, Miss Richards, John Ings, Jon Longworth, Frederick Brecken, W. Welsh, D. Mont- gomery, (Normal School) Professor Caven, T. Heath Haviland, John Yeo, H. Lawson, L. C. Owen, W. Weeks, Mr. Arseneaux, Mr. Roache, and others, The Latin and Greek Classes were examined by Professor Caven ; and the Classes in Geometry solved several problems proposed by Mr. Roache. Professor Caven expressed satisfied with the the pupils in classics; and Mr. Roache declared the Geometry « beyond all measure, good.’ After the oral examination, Professor An- derson stated that the number in attendance during the past term was much above that of any year since he has been here. Seventy. two students had been admitted; and the number present at the examinas tion was fiftyseight. The boys generally, were naturally high in the scale of intelli» gence, and had done’ some ‘right hard work,’ He expressed his regret that Mr. Lowe was about to leave the institution and said that he could not have wished a better Collegague, nor could the pupils desire a better qualified or more pains-taking in- structor. The Governor General had given a silver Medal to be presented to the best pupil in Mathematics,English Language,ind Literature and French ; anda bronze Medal for the best essay, The latter would be awarded at the end of the holidays; the former had been won by Master Thomas Le- Page, and would be presented as soon as received, Judge Peters had also given a silver Medal, as a prize to the best classical scholar, and this had been awarded to Frank Kennedy. The written examinations were conducted by Rev. Geo. W. Hodgson, Professor Caven, and Duncan McLeod. The reports ot these gentlemen were read : D. C. MeLxop's Rerorr. Trustees of the Prince of Wales

GENTLEMEN. — I have again examined the classes studying Mathematics and French in Prince of Wales College. The classified results given below, indicate a high degree of excellence in the answers given in all the classes. It is worthy of notice that while a large proportion of the papers have been valued at ninety per cent. and upwards, the number rated below seventy-iive per cent. is quite small.

GextLemEen :—I have the honor to report | to you that upon receipt of a letter from the hon. Secretary of your Board, of the 2nd inst., requesting me (in conjunction wita some other gentlemen therein named) to act as examiner at Prince of Wales College, and directing me to communicate upon the subject with Professor Anderson, I made arrangements to conduct the Classical Examinations at the College on June i0th, llth, and 14th.

The number of pupils examined by me in Greek and Latin was 22. In Greek there

|! were three classes, in Latin four. The | books examined in were Ly Greex.—Euripides, (\Jedea) Hero- lotus, Tomer, Xenophon, ‘ireck Testament, (part of St.gJohn’s Gospel) and Arnold's (treek Pro e Composition, In Latin. —Tacitus, Cicero iorace

, ro, LOL o, Virgil, Bryce’s and Arnold’s Latin Prose.

The authors read by the highest class this year are more advanced, both in Latin and Greek, than inany previous year in which I have examined. ‘The results of the examinations wil! be seen from the follow, ing lists. The numbers represent the per- centage of full marks, which are, | think, very creditable, both to the students and their instructors. Some have passed an excellent examination, many a good one, and none haye completely failed. I should judge from the results that the work of instruction has been thorough and pains- taking, and that the students in the great majority of cases ave been diligent. The papers set were chiefly translations from the authors read, grammatical analysis, and some few historical and general questions,

I now submit the full lists ;

Mr, Canen’s Report. To the Trustees of the Prince of leye :

GENTLEMEN : —The subjects upon which it fell to my lot to examine the young gentles | men of this Institution were English history,

Literature and Milton,

I framed the questions in History under | the impression that they were to be answer- led by advanced stucents. When, however, the papers came before me, I discovered that there was a senior and a junior division. My test, therefore, while coming fairly within the acquirements of the former, is nevertheless liable to be considered too severe for the latter. Yet, [am well cons tent with the knowledge which these juniors displayed, and only careful teach- ing could iit them to produce such papers as were submitted.

In Literature the papers I received were excellent, as the awarded marks will show. The fourth and fifth periods of English Literature embrace of authors, styles and themes, avery great variety. The ques~ tions were selected from every department which lay within the defined limits, ‘and my returns show that the young gentle- men knew a great deal more than was con- tained in their text books.

The paper which I set on the Second Book of Milton was, to my mind, of such a nature as thoroughly to test the knowledge of the students with their subject. I have to express my eatire satisfaction with their work,

I may say, in conclusion, that I have used, in passing judgment on the papers laid before ma, that degree of severity which is usually exercised in British Ins stitutions.
