Acting upon the recommendation of Governor Wells, the pupils of the academy acad-emy devoted the afternoon of Tuesday, the 29th. to the observance of "McKinley "Mc-Kinley day," by presenting a programme pro-gramme appropriate to the occasion.

Resting upon an easel upon the front, of the stage was the flag-draped portrait por-trait of the late president, the whole surrounded by potted plants. |
