"Doubtless among the most interesting and most profitable
events of the institution was the annual society contest
between the two societies, the Literati and the Lyceum. The
Silver City Commercial Club offered a costly cup to the
winning society and it was won by the Lyceum. The contest
was in oration, elocution, debate, parliamentary usage and
athletics.
"The inside adornment of the hall has not been neglected. A
number of portraits and a large number of carbon prints of
celebrated paintings have been added, the class picture
being the most important and costing in the neighbourhood of
$100; this is the hunting scene of Ruysdael. Some of the
others are 'The Parthenon,' 'The Immaculate Conception' by
Murillo, and 'The Allegorie du Printemps' by Botticelli.
