“…The Academy has about 160 female pupils, who are instructed in eight classes, chiefly by the Sisters of Charity. The exercises attracted a large audience, mostly ladies, and consisted chiefly of instrumental and vocal music, the former under the direction of Prof. E. A. Weber and the latter under the direction of Mrs. L. Julia de Breaux. [Lists program and performers.]”
