BRIGHT SCHOLARS.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF
SACRAMENTO INSTITUTE.
An Afternoon With the Pupils OF
the Christian Brothers Col
lege Yesterday.

| The thirteenth commencement exercises
of the Christian Brothers College were
held at the Metropolitan Theater yesterday
afternoon, beginning at o'clock. The
| theater was crowded with the relatives and
| friends of the pupils, and the exercises
passed off in a manner which reflected the
| highest credit upon all who took part in the
programme, and. as well, those who have
had the pupils in training for this occa
sion.
The programme was executed in excel
lent STYLE and while it would be impossi-
BILE to dilate at length upon the merits of
the different participants, for want of space,
especial mention deserves to be made of
certain features.
The quartet, Happy Childhood's Home"
was beautifully rendered, and the comical
medley by the select choir was decided
hit.
Frank S. OBrien's recitation, "Regulus, ~
was delivered in a manner which indicated
undoubted dramatic ability
Albert B. Martins recitation, THE Fate |
OF Virginia" was really excellent The |
young speaker showed remarkable elocu- |
tIonary power, and his efforts were greeted |
with the hearty applause of the audience. |
William P. Dryers recitation was also de- |
livered in an effective manner.
Mention should also be made of the vocal |
music by the pupils, which interpersed the |
programme. 1t was all coed.
The dialogue, "Impressment of an
American Seaman" bv John 2, Keefe, |
William H. Kyne, NJ. R. Bronner and Jas.
Y. Hughes, was very we'll rendered, and
ELECTED much merriment and applause.
The ESSAYS of the collegiate graduates,
| Charles I. Hughes, William H. Taylor and
Frank j. McCanney, were efforts entirely
worthy Of the pupils of an institution
which pays such careful attention to the
| mental training of the youth under its
| tutelage. The young men, who graduated
with the highest honors of their school,
| may well be proud of their efforts upon the
| occasion. These graduates are entitled to
| enter the University Course of st. Mary's
| College, San Francisco.
