COMMENCEMENT WEEK IN WEST CAPE MAY The closing of the school year was fittingly celebrated bv the pupils of j the i ublic f schools of the borough. Parents and friends enjoyed four even- i inga as guests of the children. These , entertainmeuts are the most popular and at the same time the most anticipated of all the public functions of the year. "The series of entertainments given this year were in many respects an innovation. In the first place, they were ' held i» the school building. When the ' large addition was made to the build- : ing, the upper rooms were so constructed as to perjmt of their being i thrown together as a single room. A j large stage was erected in the old high schoo! room, and this was prettily dec- j orated to give the effect of a pleasing | interior. Here on the evening of May 26th the | children of the first and second primary grades amused a d entertained a large 1 and delighted gathering, with their songs, their recitations and especially j with their innocent childish mistakes i in the interpretation of their various j parts. This litte folks' evening is pro- j bably the most popular of all the | series. The audience loses the spirit of J criticism, and regards the blunders, j

the diffidence or the sangfroid of the little tots, alike with the utmost good nature and consideration for every effort, no matter how good or bad. ' effcrt of the evening was a testimonial to thejpatience. perseverance, painstaking work of their teachers, Misa Brew ton and Miss Hillman. The entertainment of the Grammar and. Intermediate rooms the following evening was of a different character. 1 Self-consciousness enters into every , effort to make or to mar its effect. The children on this evening first gave a pleasing little comedy entitled, j "Little Miss Van Winkle." The j i audience were delighted and freely ex- ; I pressed their appreciation of the work : and interpretation of each of the young ( actors. This play was followed by the j May Queen Festival. The scene of the festival was a woodland to which , all the children came for a picnic and | May-day frolic. Additions to the original company were made by the interception of little barefoot Gipsy Jane, and a fishing (party, of four boys. Each addition had to pay the toll of a song before they could join the party. The choosing of the May Queen and | her coronation was finely carried out in dialogue and song. For thirty miutes with recitation, song and chorus | the fun went forward. The whole was brought to an appropriate ending in , the twining of the May-pole and the dance about it. For 15 minutes longer , the eight little Heather Bella wound , in and.out, and round and round about, now in direct and now in reverse motion. The attention of the interested spectators was divided between the gracefol movements of the pretty girls dancing through the various figures with.their bright ribbons, and the ever changing effects produced by the ribbons as they wound or unwoand around the pole. The evening | closed with an intricate drill given by eight boys encased in huge fire , crackers. The work of the entire evening reflected credit upon the teachers, Miss Springer and Mr. Reeves. The third evening was devoted to , the work of the children of the Annex, under the direction and management | J of Mr. Moore and Miss Curry.- For an hour and a half followed in quick succession without a half or break, i r recitation, songs, glees and choruses. A lady who was an interested spectator , to each of the entertainments characterized them fittingly in these words, | "The finest exhibition of children i . trained to act and think for themselves . I have ever witnessed." , Commencement always brings out a ! large audience and the company that j met on the evening of June 10th was j no exception The Chapel building was used for this evening and was tastily decorated for the occasion. The first part of the program was the rendition of their various parts by the members of the Grammar grade of the class of '08. This part of the class consisted of eight members. : hence truly styled the class of i naught (y) eight. Each member of the ' [[class played well his part, and each ' , | proved himself worthy of special men- ■ tion did space and time permit. The , member of the class from the Annex, r I Harry Chipman, is to be commended - for the mauner in which he gave his ; declamation as well as for his ease and I composure on the platform, i The memver of the class from the - ' High School, Emma Wheaton. gave in ; a pleasing voice anil thoughtful uian- ; 1 ner her recitation, "Guilty or not ■Guilty." The second part of the program conI sis ted of a farce and a comedy. The i participants acted out their various i parts in a very pleasing and .commend- • j able manner. ; | County Superintendnt Barr. who was to address the class, was unfortunately e detained at home. A. W. Hand gave a carefully pre- • i pared paper upon the retrospect, intror spect and prospect of the school work ! | in the borough and county. The paper s , was listened to attentively by the s - audience and formed an appropriate - introduction to the new school work e | to be started with the next school year, f Principal Hastings, on behalf of the i, Board of Education presented the di- " plomas and brought the evening to a close by urging the formation of a musical organization of some sort, and the providing of a building adequate for the accommodation and the proper setting of entertainments and commencement exercises.

; CORNERS THE HARP8 IN ERIN. 1 Llewellyn Buys Up All in the Island During a Famine. It Is not generally known that One- ' I of the first corners formed In any market waa a corner on harps. There i I Is a story told of one of the famous Llewellyns who had taken up bis rfesi- 1 ; dence In England to the effect that during the great famine In Ireland he went through almost every section of j the Emerald Isle exchanging much desired gold for harps belonging to the 1 famine-stricken peasants, j Naturally the peasants were glad - ! enough to sell their harps and any- * thing else they possessed for food or | money to buy food, and the first thing Irishmen knew they were practically ! arc less. Scarcely a single Irish Instrument could be scared up In any community, and then they began to wonder what had become of their harps. By that time the dread and horror of the famine had passed and i the ephemeral spirits of the sons' of were light and would make merry, I how could (hey slog and dance without their beloved harps? Then It was discovered one man owned practically all the Irish harps, and when he did part with them It Is said that the price received was fir In advance of that given some time before. History has not recorded a sec- . and corner In these celestial InstruLong on One Newspaper. Colonel Stephen N*.
