PATRIOTIC PUPILS.
They Honor Memorial Day With Ap.
propriate Exercises.
What Was Done at a Number of the
Public Schools In this City
on Yesterday.

The entertainment at the Sacramento
Grammar School yesterday forenoon was
very largely attended. The exercises
were exceedingly well rendered, and the
pupils taking part therein were warmly
applauded. The entertainment was
given for the purpose of raising money
with which to purchase a carpet for the
stage in the large assembly room. The
teachers felt that a covering for the floor
of the platform would greatly improve
its appearance, but they did not wish to
ask the School Board for the means, and
concluded to earn the necessary funds by
giving an entertainment. To say that
their efforts were successful, would be
expressing it lightly. The assembly room
was crowded. Fathers, mothers, sisters,
brothers and friends of the pupils were
there, and only too glad to contribute to
the laudable object.
The recitations, piano solos and vocal
duets were all well rendered. The Fan
Drill" however, by sixteen misses from
Miss Emma Hughes class, was the
feature of the programme. The girls
looked charming in their dainty Japan
eSe costumes, with their hair neatly ar
ranged in Yum Yum fashion and orna-
mented with tiny fans, and their pretty
appearance caused the audience to ap-
plaud freely as they came upon the stage.
They executed various Delsarte move
ments, and the way in which the shy
maidens smiled behind their fans caused
some of the boys in the front row to
change color, thinking that perhaps they
were the targets at which the shafts were
cast.

the first grade was neatly executed. The
boys were dressed in uniform, and armed
with stats.
The last number, "The Bugle Song"
with DelSarte movements, was partici
pated in by the girls of the first grade.
Five of them, dressed in Grecian costume,
occupied the front of the stage and ex-
ecuted the movements, while the re-
mainder of the class formed in the rear
and sang the song.
The entire programme was published
on Thursday.
