THE speaking for the Boylston Prizes takes place next Thursday evening at half past seven, in Sanders Theatre. Thirty-six candidates presented themselves at the preliminary trial on Saturday. Of these, twenty, the same number as last year, were chosen, - eight out of fifteen Juniors, twelve out of twenty-one Seniors. As we said last year, it would seem fairer if the selection at the preliminary trial were made by more than one person; still it is of course impossible for every one to be satisfied in a matter of this kind. The speeches are limited to five minutes, so that the decisions may be expected by half past nine. The speaking is thought to be better than the average, and the pieces fresher and more interesting; the Juniors, however, are said to be not so good as could be wished. It has been decided that hereafter Juniors shall speak first.
