FOR TWO WEEKS.
PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS DISMISSED
FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
Interesting Exercises Held Yesterday
Afternoon at Several of the
City Schools.

City Schools.
A number of the public schools of the
city held holiday exercises yesterday. The
fact that but one Principal or teacher took
the pains to have the public informed in
advance that such exercises were to be
held, prevented many persons from enjoy
ing them who would otherwise have at
tended. The result was that in very few
instances were there any considerable num-
Der of persons present. Miss Watson,
Principal of the Sacramento Grammar
School, was thoughtful enough to have the
public notified through the press, and the
result was large gathering of ladies and
gentlemen at that school. The exercises
consisted of Rotations and singing by the
pupils, and were held in the large Assem-.
bly-room. The programme contained
twenty numbers, all of which were thor
oughly enjoyed.
The Rotations were mostly given by the
pupils in clear, distinct and composed
manner. A song by Miss Mabel Barnes
was sweetly sung.
City Superintendent Hart addressed the
school at the close of the exercises, and
after singing Hail to the New Year" the
pupils were dismissed. Following was the
