The number of yisi- tors since the ope: and up toeleven last night was within a fraction ofeightcen thousand. The success of the festival is due in a great measure to Mr. Simon Wolf, president of tre Washington Sehnetzen Verein, who was unre- aitting in his exertions to ensure the com‘ort and pleasure of visitors. Then, too, his happy of-hand style of oratory is well suited to such occasions. Brief but pointed; the wit and humor alternating with little flashes of sentiment and touches of feeling, it is just the thing for prize distributiers, welsome ad¢reeses, and last but nof least “the festive board.” — Cororep Prptic Scnoors—Rusiness boys d of the Trustees —The Board of Trustees of - cred Schools met last night.
