Quite a large audience greeted the Normals on Saturday evening. Rose opened with a review of the progress of N. L. S.-rather too much blow. Then followed Miss Fay with Bret Harte's "Conception De Arguello. The essay by Miss Haworth, would have been improved by a little prunning, but was in many respects very good. The debate followed on the question "That the influence of Mohammetanism was beneficial to civilization."—supported on the affirmative by Miss Lina Gano, and on the negative by Olin Templin. This was the event of the evening, and one of the best we have heard for a long time. A judge would have been puzzled to decide between the speakers. Then came the oration, delivered by Mr. J. L. Shearer. The gentleman was very eloquent on the subject, "Nature." The speech might have been condensed with advantage, but was otherwise a very creditable performance. The vocal solo by Miss Emma Kempthorne was encored. A string quartette from Buch's orchestra furnished excellent music.
