The spelling bee, which is to ha held this evening in tho concert hall, promises to ba a marked success. After a long spell, extending overscveral years, this mode of publicly educating, while at thoEarne time amusing, the masses has be«ti brought forward as a uhaago from the musical programmes and other descriptions of eutertainineut provided by the commissioners. The judges are kuowu to all as gentlemen who will act impartially aud carry out the bee in a strictly fair manner. The prizes appropriately consist of books that are well worth striving for.
