Boston Theatre. - "Streets of New York." Although at times Mr. Boniface seems perhaps a little too flippant in manner in face of his many accidents throughout the action of the play, his acting is on the whole a good piece of work; especially may be noted his sudden change, from laughing carelessness to that of frightened horror at the death of the old sea captain in the prologue.

An entire day is to be occupied by student exercises, and great care must therefore be taken in preparation. Among the numerous suggestions were literary exercises in the morning by the students, some athletic exhibition in the afternoon, a torch-light procession illustrating the history of the university, followed by a grand ball in Memorial Hall and the gymnasium in the evening. The committee do not wish to act hastily, or without the advice...
