CLOSING EXERCISES. = The closing exer-
cises of the Sacramento Seminary last night
consisted of literary and musical entertain
ment by the Junior class aided by two of the
faculty. The chapel of the Seminary was
very prettily decorated with evergreen fes-
toons, interspersed with roses, and with floral
wreaths, baskets and bouquets. The attend
ance was large-in excess of the capacity of
the room and halls. The entertainment en-
braced these measures Piano duet, Miss
May Crossett and Miss Reed chorus, vocal

Marie Bennett: cavatina, "Roberto tn
Ch'adOro," Mrs. j. M. Pierce. The playing
of "Tarantella" by Miss Reed and the sing
ing by Mrs. Pierce were the most prom
inent features. The latter sang the
cavatina with a delicate taste and
depth of expression. She pleased so
well that the audience twice recalled
her, when she gave piquaut ballads with an
effectiveness that was made manifest by very
hearty applause. While the exercises were
pleasing throughout, and fewer weak points
we're noticed than is usual with junior class
of misses, the better of the literary features
were the essays, in all of which thoughtful
ness was manifested, memory of good read
ing evinced and chaste and good style
noticeable. The essay of Miss Knox was es-
pecially noticeable fer the modest but forci-
bic manner in which she presented what she
had learned and what she thought about the
silent forces in nature. The piano solo by
the same young lady was also especially
noticeable, as also the piano duet by Miss
Crossett and Miss Reed.
4 BRISK CHAsE.-A few days since Chief
Karcher received notice from Captain
Fletcher, of the Oakland police, that Billy
Owen, alias Niger B, " had escaped from
the chain-gang and ten months sentence,
and that there was charge of burglary, etc.,
additional against him. Yesterday Assistant
Poundmaster Carter Jackson was remarking
in the Police Court about his having trouble
with darkey, which, officer Rider overhear-
ing. led him to suspect might be the escape
from Oakland, and he thereupon showed
Jackson Ovens picture, which he said was
the man. Chief Karcher sent Carter Jack
son to look for the escape, and he found him
some ways outside the east part of the city
in some brush asleep. jackson induced
him to come into the city with him under
plea of giving him some work to do,
but when they arrived opposite Agri
cultural Park Owen slipped away, and
got through an opening into the Park
erour Dis, where he was followed and had
scuffle with jackson, but got away and started
at better speed than his pursuer, across lots,
alleys, fences and streets. jackson nearly
overlook him by getting into a passing buggy
and giving chase under fast speed, as Owen
was then taking down the street. Seeing he
was being overhauled, he put back again
across lots, and down to III street, and got
into street car which was passing down
street: but Jackson soon entered the back
end of the car and made fast to his man,
when lively rough and tumble match took
place, but jackson proved the best man, and
rode with bis prisoner to j and Second
streets and delivered him safely at the police
station, both of them somewhat marked up.
| Owen is % years old, is an cid offender; has
been convicted several times in Courts of
this city, and served one term in San Quen-
tin. An officer will arrive from Oakland for
him this morning.
