Dears Crr the Honors Medals Awarded--Fl nal Kxerclses of the School. Another large audiei.ee crowded the Opera House last night to witness the final exercises of the thirty ninth annual session of the Horner School When the curtain was III tea some twenty-five students, occupying chairs on the stage three rows deep, were re vealcd. These young gentlemen were contestants for the elocution medal offered for the best public effort by Prof. G. A. Wauchope. Hon. A. H A. Williams and Messrs. T. J. Stray horn, A. J. Feild and A. S. Grandy were selected judges of the contest. The first declamation was by W. R Kenan, Jr., llmington, who gave with fine dramatic effect. V. B. Row land, Durham, recited an extract from one of Senator Zeb. Vance's speeches on tne "rrescnt uuiies 01 soumern Young M:n" with something of the styc and force of the distinguished , ., , . 1 t . Parham, Oxford, was an amusing tale amusingly told. ' Senator J. W. Dan iel's eloquent, clear-cut and accurate description of ''Ie, the Man," ren dcred by J. S. Hall, Wilmington, eieciruiea me auaience am eiicucu hcartv outbursts of annlause. "Cud- . 1- 1 . 1 1 1 i- 1 die Doon is a bit of Scotch verse, and its exquisite humor and pathos were well brought out by W. G. Peace, Oxford. Des Saengers Fluent," a lengthy piece in the German language, was an ambitious and difficult attempt by W. F. Gill, Henderson, but he succeeded admirably. F. O. Rogers, New York, put the question, "Is it Anybody's Business " with vicor. and it was everybody's business to r u , say he did well. The old tar s effecting tale of "the Stowaway," recited by J. T. Etheridge, Sunsbury, thrilled his hear- ers, anu a moment later j. 1. nson, Oxford, had theandience in laughter over "A Necro Sermon." Little Frank Taylor. Oxford, won deserved priisc for the manner in which de claimed "Pride of Battery B." The duel scene :rom "The Rivals" was acted by W. A. Graham, N. C, and J. A; Wauchope, Va., both dis playing considerable histrionic talent. This was followed by the conspiracy scene irom anakspere s "Julius Ccasar," informed by G. H. Price, I O-l 1 T . T7 balisbun', as Brutus: E. A. hi f ' . Columbia, S. C, as Cassius; L. Bancker, Peace, Oxford, as Lucius, and R. L. Carr, W.M. Cuningham, J. D. Bellamy. V. A. Graham and D. Eatman as the conspirators. All acquitted themselves most acceptably, but Mr. Prire deserves special mention as the central figure and for "his strong presentation of the part of Brutus. J. A. Hiiliard, Rocky Mount, was equal to the demands of "Roger and I," Trowbridge's pathetic narrative of the inebriate tramp and his faithful dog. J. I. Wilder, Raleigh, wa; a sturdy and glib defender of "Mr. John Smith." Order for a Picture," by S. W. Minor, Oxford, gained for that young gentleman high compliments and a wilderness of flowers. "The Chariot Race" from 'Ben Hur," pos sessed greater interest and stirring ac tion from the aash and force of the elocution of W. P. Bynum, Charlotte. J. D. Bellamy, Wilmington, in; ring ing tones and patriotic fervor electri fied the audience with a selection from Henry W. Grady's greaj . speech at Boston on the "Race Problem Ihjtbr South." "The Colon'ers'O'rders'.' by E. A. Bancker, Columbia, S. C., was a pretty,semi-humorous recital. J. E, Ingle, of Henderson, with well-modulated voice and expressive movements of face and figure, portrayed the am bitibus "Parrhassiusand the Captive," and one could almost see the bound and racked Prometheus" writhing in his death agony. Darius Eatman", Oxford, narrated "Louis , Little Star" very neatly, his character, delin eations being especially good t TJie last recitation was by J. S. E. Young, Henderson, who interpreted Po weird 'Raven" most effectively The judges held their! conference, and reached the conclusion that E. Ingle had fairly won the elocution medall Mr. Ingle was also announc ed as the winner of the military med al in the competitive drill which took jlace in the afternoon. Three pen manship medals were awarded lor the best writing to W. M. Cuningham, for second best writing to F."L. Carr, and for improvement to W. G, Peace. In a few well-chosen words the med als were formally presented the mili tary medal by A. S. Grandy, Esq., the elocution medal by A. J. Feild, Esq., and the pennmanship medals by Hon. A. H. A. Williams. Prof. J. C. Horner thsi, read the names of those entitled to distinction and honorable mention for workj and deportment during the session ending May 30, 1890, as follows ?
