COMMENCEMENT PROCEEDS OS.
Tim Dnllttn Exhibition.
The commencement week exercises were opened last
Thursday evening, June 9, by the Delinn society. This was
the society's fourth annual exhibition. A few minutes before
9 o'clock the Delian secretary, Miss Stella Ducker called thcl
meeting to order. The program, which 'consisted of literary
and musical productions, would easily rank wilh the average
of such entertainments. The literary part of the program,
though in so.ne places'it showed hasty preparation, was,
withal, excellent.
Perhaps the most taking article, especially for Dclinns,
was (he poem read by President J. C, Porterfield, entitled
Two Delian Temples." The poem is printed in full in
another column.
The selections given by George II. Boomer and Miss Clara
Bowei were excellent. Not only were the selections t,ood in
themselves but everything that was in them was brought out
by the speakers. The recitation given by Mr. Uoomer was
entitled "Mr. Middlerib's Rheumatic Cure"; the reading by
Miss Bower, "The Basket of Flowers." The former gave a
rather ludicrous account of Mr. Middlerib's experiment withfl
bees as a cure for rheumatism. The latter was a touchina
story of the manner in which several poor girls saved pennicsl
with which to purchase a basket of flowers for an invalid latlj
who taught the children fancy work. It seems to the cdilot
as it the manner, inflection and position ol the two speaker.'
was such as to bear no criticism except in their favor. A
there is no better criticism upon the excellency of deliver
than the attention given by the audience the delivery or. botl
must have been very good.
Two orations finish the account of the literary part of th
program. The first one wns given by Miss Ida Matthews, enti
tied "Benedict Arnold 1 he Patriot, the Traitor." Miss Mat
thews makes a veiy graceful appearance upon the platform
Her voice is good, her manner easy, and her composition
above the average. J'he speaker thought that Mr. Arnold
career was due to hereditary influence and from the treat
ment he received from the congress of the Confederacy. Hi
disposition was revengeful, but as a man he was nnturallj
brilliant. From this the speaker concluded Wmt there ar
