THE SACRAMENTO SCHOOL OF DESIGN.
Among the attractions which will receive
the attention of the Grange visitors will be
the E B. Crocker Art Gallery and School
of Design, which holds its sessions therein.
As stated, the gallery is the property of
the city of Sacramento, but the School of
Design is conducted by the California
Museum Association. which has the fol-
lowing Board of officers: President, ]. A.
Woodson; Vice-President, Frank Miller;
Treasurer, D. o. Mills & Co.'S National
Bank Secretary, NJ. S. Cushmsn; Direc
tors, Mrs. Margaret E. Croker, Hon. j. W.
Armstrong ]. A. Woodson, Frank Miller,
David Lubin. DIR. George Pyburn, Charles
McCreary, James E. Mills, James L Felter,
Hon. Christopher Green. These parties
cherish the School of Design generously
and wisely, and have brought it to high
degree of excellence.
SITUATION AND TRANSPORTATION.
Sacramento is a railroad center, with
lines leading up and down the great val
leys, over the Sierras, and penetrating the
foothill sections. The Sacramento river
relates it by steamer and sail navigation
with the bay of San Francisco and the Pa
cific, and gives il the competitive adj
vantages that result from the meeting of
ship and railroad. A line of steamers runs
to San Francisco on the Sacramento river
and the bays, and another as far up the
| stream as Red Bluff. The Sacramento
river is spanned opposite the city by a
railroad and wagon bridge, connecting it
with the town of Washington, Yolo
county; and the American river is bridged
on the line of Twelfth street and also by a
railroad bridge short distance above.
All the bridges in the county and all roads
are free.

The best presentation of the romantic
comedy drama, THE Sea of Ice" that
has been seen in Rock Island was given
by the Fenner & Crane Comedy COM
pany at Harper's theatre last evening
The acting was excellent, the scenic eff
fects splendid. and the costumes ele-
gant-in fact, some of the richest ever
seen on the Rock Island stage The
characters of Carlos" by E. NJ. Crane;
"Aganita, by Amelia Melville; Diane
DeLasconis." By Ida Valance, and
"Barnsbus." by Rob. V. Ferguson, were
all worthy of special note, and there was
not weak representation in the play
Tonight we are to have PILOT and Pas
sion, a production combining thrilling
emotional situations, with strong comedy
scenes ana fine music. The company is,
without exaggertiOn. the best that has
ever played in Rock Island to popular
prices, and is deserving of crowded
houses during the remainder of the week

composed largely from this city and Mo
line, MIR. Barnes, of New York" was

and heard so much of it. The play is q
powerful one and the scenery and acces-

of the most impressive and peculiar
scenes ever placed on a stage. The Gu
