plause.l California is on the eve
of q harvest in her fields, but all
harvests are as naught beside the harvests Of
young lives that are garnered up in the
schools of the State, to grow into the State
and become part of it; the young men to
add to its strength and worth, its young
women to add to its grace, culture and re-
6nement. Emerson has said that the wealth
and power of a nation is not in what it pro.
duces from the earth, but depends upon the
kind OF men it grows-with equal truth and
force he might have added, and the kind OF
women it produces. Applause He then
warm words of congratulation and a few
sentences OF advice. Lastly. he said he
could not close without expressing what he
knew was in the hearts Of the assembled peo-
pie, their congratulations to Mrs. Perry upon
her conduct of the Seminary, wishing her all
strength in her calling and all wisdom
in the great responsibility she had
assumed. [Applause. He concluded
with brief and fervent apostrophe
to education, and asked the people to pledge
themselves anew never to falter in the work
they have undertakeR-to educate the youth
OF the land, and battle constantly with igno.
rance, as the greatest enemy of liberty and
good government. At the conclusion of Mr..
CampbelPs address the audience was dis
missed, and the immediate friends of the
graduates gathered about them with con-
gratulations on their lips.

ACCIDENT AT EAST PARK.-Yesterdsy
while the picnic of the British Mutual Be-
nevolent Association was in progress at East
Park, the carriage of George Cadwalader
was being driven from the grounds. and while
yet in the Park was met by buggy phaeton
containing three young girls. The driver of
the carriage drove as far to the right as he
had room to do, but the young misses did not
observe the rules of the road, and pressed so
close upon the larger vehicle as to collide with
it. The hind wheel on the left side of the
carriage was completely wrecked, letting that
side of the conveyance to the ground.
The occupants, the aged mother of
Mr.. Cadwalader and schild and its
nurse. were thrown to the lower
side of the carriage, but received no serious
injury other than a severe nervous shock.
The colliding phaeton escaped uniDjured, and
was driven off by its occupants Immediately.
The driver of the carriage managed his
horses so well that serious accident was
thereby prevented, for which he deserves
credit. Had his team succeeded in running
when the accident occurred, many persons
would doubtless have been injured. and pos
sibly lives might have been lost. Mrs. Cad
walader, the child and nurse were sent home
in hack, and the carriage was taken off for
repair, the wonder being how light buggy
could so demoralizs heavy carriage.

Hirsch, Lesser and Lasky, and Masters

propriate lecture. The choir rendered some
very fine selections of music.

METROPOLITAN THFATER.-This evening
tha NJatropo1;tap Thaatar mill bo ooo,,,>;oJ
by NJ b. Curtis, who ia announced as the
greatest card on the American stage. He
will be supported BY his select company, and
will appear in the drama Saml of Posen. !"
1t is said that every theater in which he has
played has been packed by audiences anxious
to witness his performance in this drama !;
that he played twelve weeks to crowded
houses at Haverly's Theater, New York, and
made the greatest run ever known in the his
tory of theatricals.
RAINBow.-Last evening, just as the sun
was setting, those who were out of doors
witnessed one of the most beautiful of sights.
1t was a rainbow reaching from northeast to
southeast in an unbroken arch. TIE arch
rose some sixty or seventy degrees above the
eastern horizon. 1t is seldom that rainbows
are seen in so perfect form, and it is very
rare, indeed, for them to extend to SO great a
hight in the heavens. The altitude of the
bow was probably due to the fact that the
sun was very low in the horizon at the time.
Yesterday it rained hard
for nearly two hours from Twentieth to
Thirty-6rst streets and ins East Park, when
but few drops fell west of Fifteenth street
and down to the river front. People driving
10 from the park, drenched to the skin. were
completely surprised to find down town "
folks dry and the lower streets not wet by
rain.
