         The pupils of the College Grammar School, Professor L.W. Hart, 
Principal, gave an entertainment last evening  in the L?w Building as a 
wind-up to the school year. A number of the parents and friends of the

following recitations were given;

        At this point the Professor HART gave a review of the school work in 
the past year. He spoke of the development of scolarship; the good habits 
that had been formed; the right purposes that had been inspired, and 
concluded by appealing to the scholars estimate of manhood with special 
references to the future of those who leave the school to pass into business.
        
After this the farce of "Box and Cox" was well acted. The cast was:
