How Many Persons Found Entertain
ment Last Night.
Business College Graduating Exercises
The Charity Bazaar and Clan
Gordon's Ball.

The exercises last night by which the
midwinter class was graduated from the
Sacramento Business College was OF un-
usual interest. All the musical numbers
were encored, and the piano solos by Pro-
fessor Decker were received with excep-
tional enthusiasm. Mrs. Howard was in
excellent voice, and Mrs. G. a. Neale
accompanied on the piano with her usual
excellent taste. Young Master Stick
ney's performance on the flute was well
received. The violin and piano duet by
two graduates, Misses Delma and Bernice
Green, was warmly applauded.
After brief remarks by George B. Kat
zenstein came the address to the gradu-
ates by Senator Preston of Nevada City,
which was carefully prepared, sensible
and forcible one.
The audience, however, got it's awak-
ening when State Superintendent Ander-
son gave to the graduates his message in
the delivery of diplomas. He began by
telling them it was his happy privilege to
congratulate them-to congratulate them
on not having finished their course. For
about ten minutes he spoke to them with
force and elegance, interspersed with
humor, and was roundly and frequently
applauded.
The exercises closed with presenta-
ton, by Professor Atkinson, in fitting
terms, of the prizes offered by Senator
George q. Perkins to the young man and
young woman who during the year
should make the best record, department
included. 1t was curious to note that
both the young persons receiving these
prizes were among the very youngest OF
the class, the young man having worked
his own way through the course. The
prizes consisted OF two elegant gold
watches, and were delivered to Miss
Addie M. Ehmann of this city, and
Wayne Yarich of Dunnigan, Y olo
County.
AS the Chairman was about to dismiss
the audience, w. II. V. Raymond asked
his attention. He said he thought the act
of Senator Perkins ought not to go un-
marked, and requested permission to
offer two resolution, which he had hastily
drawn. He declined to take the plat
form, but read the following resolutions,
which were adopted with much enthus-
iasm
"ReSoIUed, That in the action of Senator
George G. Perkins, just announced, the
ciIizens of Sacramento recognize the
heart and hand OF true friend, whose
efforts in behalf Of education IN Califor-
mia, and in behalf of every material in
terest of the State, have endeared him to
all her citizens.
"ReSOiCed, That we deem it a fitting oc-
caslon to express also, as citizens OF sac
ramento, our warm acknowledgment OF
the kindly sentiments ever expressed by
Senator Perkins for our people, and the
interest taken by him in our prosperity
as city, and to congratulate him upon
the high and well-deserved honors that
have gathered about his head"
The Principal then wished the audience
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Y ear, and the twenty-frst year OF the col
lege closed.

THE CHURCH Bazaar.
The bazar of the ladies of the Central
Methodist Church was held yesterday
during the day and evening, and proved
a success. 1t was intended to hold it to-
day also, but the things sold so rapidly
that it was decided to auction off the re-
mainder and close it up last night.
l.. Bell assumed the role of auctioneer,
and bearing in mind that it was a church
arrangement. carefully refrained from
exaggeratiOns that some members OF the
profession indulge in and adhered strictly
to cold facts. Nevertheless the articles
all sold to good advantage and the ladies
will doubtless be enabled to get the new
carpet they wish for the church.
