BOYLSTON PRIZE SPEAKING.

The speaking for the Boylston prizes took place in Sanders Theatre last night, in the presence of an audience which nearly filled the room. The judges were Messrs. T. W. Higginson, F. Parkman, Rev. J. H. Thayer, E. W. Hooper, Moorfield Story, Waldo Higginson, Gamaliel Bradford, Prof. J. B. Thayer and S. B. Warren. The speaking throughout was very good, the seniors averaging better than the juniors. First prizes were awarded to Messrs. B. M. Firman and S. Hoar; second prizes to G. H. Eaton, O. Putnam and G. H. Page. The speaking closed at 9.30, the announcement of the award of prizes being brought in half an hour later.
