The musicale given by the pupils of tiie school Friday evening, under the supervision of Miss Nina Simmons was a very successful and enjoyable nllair. The Orpheum was well tilled by an appreciative audience. Of course, the little ones were star periormers, espe cially tho ten little Indians, the but tercups, sweet peas and dancing daffo dils. But the readers and soloists' were hardly less pleasing to the hear ers. The choruses showed a decree of skill aud musical taste hardly to be expected from the brief training which could be given to the scholars. Miss Simmons is evidently determined to awaken an appreciation for what is best in music. Wagner, Straus, Gou nod, Balfe, Lacome were drawn upon. It is far better to fail studying mast ers of tills character than to succeed iu the rendition of what is not worthy the effort to understand and execute There was nothing like failure in any number of the program. But more practice would improve some ot tho selections. Tlio eliort to succeed was abundantly manifest, and it will not be long before the people of this city will be able to note the results of the iilgner eulturo mat springs from a study of the great artists under com petent direction, The receipts of tho evening amount to $r0, which will be devoted to the purchase of a phonograph, that tho pupils may hear the best of recorded music.

Allan iilackledgo' returned Tuesday morning from Annapolis, Mil,, whcie he has been attending preparatory school, making preparation to take tlio examination for entrance to tho lT. S. Navel Academy. The examinations were held last week, occupying three days, nnd are considered very dilllcult; so as a rule about one in three of those who take the examinations pass. Examinations are held yearly in February and April. In Febr. this year, 3M) took the exam inations and 09 of that number passed, so Allan is waiting somewhat anxious ly until ho knows the official results which will be after two or three weeks.
