STANFORD FEMALE COLLEGE.
A Prosperous Session Comes to a BrilliantClose.
The 22d annual commencement ofStanford Female College was witnessedby 000 people who crowded into Wal-ton's Opera House Friday evening tohee the finishing touches placed upon itThe exercises were both pleasant andprofitable and proved a fitting finale toone of the most successful sessions Inthu history of the Institution.
It has always been customary to h- -gin tho commencement exercises witha concert and this was done on Thurs-day evening, when the largest crowdthat ever assembled in the building on asimilar occasion was present. Prof.Hubbard is such nn honest man that heinsisted on giving thu peoplo theirmoney'H worth, consequently nonecould grumble about the qi'a.ntitv andnorm will confess himself so fit fortreasons, stratagems and spoils as towhisper aught against the opalitv ofthe concord of sweet sounds presented.me program took four solid hoursfor itH rendition and it was next day be-fore many of the audience got back totheir homes.
It would be absolutely impossible,unless we had a paper as large as the re-cent 100-pag- e edition of tho New YorkWorld, to say all the good things wemight about each individual performer,all of whom showed remarkable skill aswell as careful training. The programIwgan with a children's chorus entitled"Thu Jolly Little Waiters," which wasboth amusing and entertaining, thanksto the patience and perseveronce of MissKaty Worley, theiraccompllshed teacher.
Among the instrumental performers,and they all did remarkably well, wereMisses Jennie Summers. LIccle Lvnn.Anna Straub, Annie Belle Woods, AnulePence, Mary Pence, Mary Mattlngly,Leila Allen, Ada Shelton, Beatrice Mat-tinsl- y,
Eva Lammers, Pattie Alcorn,Bess Woods, Janle Wearen, VirginiaBowman, Josephine Roid, Lula Mcne- -fee, Nora Moreland, Eva Sieger, LindaTucker. Hettie Wearen, Laura 'MacAn-ally- ,
Sue Woods and Msry Bruce.The vocal soloists were Misses Vir
ginla Bowman, who sang "Oh Promiceme" very sweetly; Nora Moreland, whoadded much to the reputation she Ismaking as a vocalist in "Gayly Chantthe Summer Birds" and "Bobolink,"and Alice Holmes, who is always charm-ing in song, was oven more ho thanover iu "Oh, Whence Comes the Long-ing." Each performer reflected crediton her teacher, Miss Gertrude CarrollHoward, who has, in the three years shehas filled the position in this College,proved herself a most capable and pains-Hkin-
instructor in the art to which sheis so devotedly attached.
The recitations were und.'r the direc-tion of Miss Olivia W. Summers and herpupils showed tho impress of her rhnr.ouch instruction. Misses Esl linrr-i,- .
Sirah Baiighman, Mary VatiArmlalo,Lucile Ansley. Flora Ballon. JennieSummers, Ethyl Beazley, Ella MaySaunders and Lula Menefeoeach evincedelocutionary talent and did honor totheir excellent teacher.
The concert cloned with "Gipsy Pic-tures" in which Misses Essie Burch ap-peared as u 'Flower Girl," Floia Ballonas an "Old Hag," Victoria Bishop as a"Young Man," Roberta Bright "Shephordes," Louis i Rochester ".CollegeGirl," Isabella Bailey Artist; Eliza Por-ter "Widow," Bottle Rochester "Span-ish Lady," Alice Holmes "Prima Donna;" Pattie Alcorn "House Maid."

During thorendition of this piece creditable recita-tion- s
were given by Misses Essie Burch,Maggie Bright, Cora Jones, RobertaBright, Laura MacAnally, Emily Alex-ander and Nora Moreland. Misses Bish-op aud Jones gave a vocal duet, "TheGypsy Countess," and "The Stars, theNight Adorning," sung by MiWs More-lan- d,
Holmes and Straub ended the en-tertainment which will be memorableas well for its beauty as its length.
The weather was all that could be de-sired again Friday evening, being clearand pleasant, amiling aa it were a peace-ful benediction on the occasion. Short-ly after 8 o'clock the curtain roae on thosweet girl graduates, who proved thatbeauty unadorned is adorned the mbst.Their gowns were of muslin, as white astheir own pure aouls and as thev sat.ready to step across the threahold fromgirlhood to womanhood, they formed apicture as Interesting as it was lovlv.After the diyine blessing had been in-voked by Rev. W. A. Slavmaker. MissesMacAnally, Summers, Holmes andWoods rendered very skillfully ho diffi-cult "Ouverturo to Der Frelscheufz"and then Miss Susan Baughman was
The subject of her essay was"Poetry-Epi- c." Its compositionquired mueh research as well aa carefulthought and it waa aa charmingly read
STANFORD, KYM TUESDAY. JUNE 13. 1893.as it was admirably constructed. ThatIt was enjoyed Was shown by the floraland other offerings which were almostsufficient to hide her from the view ofthoaudionce. A vocal trio, "Stars ofthe Night Shine O'er Us," was givenwith beauty nnd animation by MissesHolmec, Moreland and Straub and thenMiss Laura Reed MacAnally was pre-sented. Her subject was "Poetry-Drama- tic"
and aho handled it witli noapprenticed hand. It was well writtenand well read and the showers of flowersthat enveloped her and the hearty ap-plause evidenced that her effort washighly appreciated. Miss Jennie Pink-ne- y
Summers was tho last to bo intro- -
duced, when she came forward and verygracefully and sweetly read her essayentitled "Poetry A Poem." It was inverse and of such an excellent nature asas to create the impression that she is aborn poetess. Its thoughts were of ahigh order and its metre remarkable.She too was rewnrifoil uln, c.ni..v,v au.uwealth of floral offerings as must havemade her heart glad. Miss MacAnnllvagain demonstrated how carefully hertalent for music had been cultivated in'Tolonnise A Major" and "Valse Im-promptu" and then President J. MHubbard arose and after an address toeach young lady highly complimentingher for faithfulness in study "and perfectness in recitations and deportment,delivered to them their diplomas. Hethen read the following list of youngladies who had not broken a single ruleof the College during the terra:
Katie Beasley, Sue Whitley Murphy,Virginia Warren, Lizzie Jones, LauraPowell, Linda Tucker, Eliza Porter, So-d- ie
Alcorn, Nellie Mershon, Grace Rochescer.
These broke only one: BeatriceMattlngly, Annie Bell Woods, ViolaVanov, Nellie Murphy, Lucile Cooper,Lola Burks, Lena Bruce, Mary Bruco.
Only two demerits were markedagainst these- - Stella Ballou. floraJones, Lelbi Clay Allen, Erne Burks,Vessio Anderson, Isabella Bailey, BruceWearen, Roberta Bright, Clara Mershon.
Ihe prolessor took occasion to returnhiB thanks to the audience and to saythat the 5th year of his principalship ofthe College had proved far the mostprosperous of all and that he feltr..iredthat the next session would be evenmore so, for he would spare no effort tothat end.
The exercises closed with Reinecke'scharming operetta, "Good Luck andBad Luck," in which Misses AliceHolmes, Jennie Summers, Nora More-lan- d.
Essie Burch, Flora Ballou, Victo-ria Bishop, Cora Jones, Eva Steger andmany others took part. The Btago dec-orations aud settings were .made underdirection of Mies Louis Tipton, whichis equivalent to saying that they weremost artistic. Miss Tipton tsthoiough-l- y
proficient and never fails to make asuccess of anything she attempts as thodrilling and other evolutions of herclubs attested. Tlio orchestral 'accom-paniment, arranged ng piano duet, wasgiven by Misses Howard and MacAnallyand to tho former, especially, is duomuch of the credit for tho most success-ful rendition of tho little opera, whichwas greatly enjoyed. It waa 11 o'clockwhen it was concluded and as the cur-tBi- n
shut from view the pretty perform-ers it also went down ou tho final s
of a session which will live loug in thomemories of all who took part or werointerested in it. We hope that thenext will prove as successful and thatthe new faculty will give as completesatisfaction as the one wo now bid a re- -
gretful adieu, with tho hope that heaven a richest blessings will ever attendone and all.
