The CONS encement Exercises of the
Public SchOoI-NlinO Notes.

Public SchooI-Nlinor Notes.
At the commencement exercises OF the
public school, Friday evening, Pomeroy q
Simpsons Hall was filled to overflow
ing. Skilful hands had transformed the
unsightly stage into model of artistic
taste and fowery loyeliness; evergreen
and ivy contrasting most pleasingly with
the red geraniums and brilliant-hued
roses. A magnificent crescent of Duchess
roses and psnsies, which occupied cor
ner OF the stage, was an object of admira-
tion and elected much comment. After
the opening chorus and salutatory, Prof.
Bergh, of Los Angeles, favored the audi
ence with a piano solo, "Trot de Cal
ville," and to say his Interpretation of
this famous conf osition wss faultless is
but to echo the sentiments OF those whose
authority is unquestionable. William
Pollard, in his Grafton entitled
t'The Four New Statss," exhibited
. thorough knowledge OF his subject, and
marked improvement over his former ef-
forts. The vocal sclo by Addie Briggs, of
San Gabriel, was decidedly we'll
rendered, and received an enthusiastic
applause. Miss Briggs, for one so young,
possessed rare vocal talent. 1.-The Cres-
cent" was the title of Bennie Wallace's
oration; his production showed careful
preparation, and was delivered in his
characteristic, attractive style. Miss
Mable Locks "Jusef Abul Hagias" was
by no means least among the literary
productions. The essay, "a Day in the
Poppy Fields" by Miss Ethel Bishop,
was, if any comparison can be made, the
crowning feature of the programme
vivid description, coupled with language
which bordered on the poetical, held the
unremitting attention of the audience to
the close and provoked a storm OF ap-
plause. After the baritone solo OF Prof
Stoll and the validictory, the Principal,
with a few we'll timed remarks, presented
t he diplomas, and the programme closed
with the class song. Unbounded s4tisfdc.
Ii on is expressed in this, the first annual
commencement exercises, and the rendi-
tion of Fridays programme gave abun-
dant evidence of the educational progress
during the past year, and reflects great
credit upon instructor as well as pupil.
A party, consisting of Captain and
Mrs. Gray, Mr.. T. ]. Stuart, Miss Mary
Stuart, MIR. and Mrs. B. G. Latin, and
MIR. McLaren spent several days last
week on Wilson's Peak, returning home
Friday.
Work on the Pasadena branch of the
Rapid Transit is progressing rapidly,
one.half of the line from West Alhambra
being already completed.
The Mother Goose party, for the bene-
fit of the Public Library, Monday even.
ing, was quite largely attended. Local
dramatic talent was displayed to consid-
cradle advantage, and an interesting pro-
gramme presented. The affair will prob
ably net $50.
