The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-11
BERKELEY.

The class day exercises to be held to-day
at the university, as already stated in the
CALL, will consist of band concert under
the oaks at 10 80 in the morning, and at 8
o'clock in the afternoon a farce in the
nature of Grecian tragedy will be rem
dered by the senior class in the amphi-
theater on the campus. The ordinary
pilgrimage across the grounds and the ivy
planting will be dispensed with, the band
concert and the tragedy in the afternoon
being the principal features of the day.
Nearly all the fraternities have issued
invita- tions for luncheons at their chapter
houses. and a throng of university adher-
ents is expected to witness the perform
ances and partake of the hospitality of
their college friends.
The late hour at which the afternoon
exercises are to be held is due TO the
Fabiola fete, which will take place in the
afternoon also.
A special train from San Francisco will
be run at 80 for the accommodation of
persons desiring to attend the class day
exercises.
Floral Show.
The floral show which has been going
on at Stiles Hall for the past two days
closed last night with concert, under the
direction of W. w. Davis. The priZe-win
ners for the best displays are as follows:
The largest and best collection of roses,
Warren Cheney; the twelve best roses,
Mr.. Love; the six best roses, Mrs. Henry
Allen; for the best exhibition OF pelargo-
NUNS, Mrs. ]. 7. Symmes received the
prize; for eschscholtzias, Miss Sarah Boil
ton; for ferns, Mr.. Love, and for the best
collection of carnations, the Dwight-way
Nursery received the prize.
A local floral society will probably be
the result of the exhibition, as the success
of the festival seems to fully justify the
forming of such an organization.
Society of Friends.
A series of evangelistic addresses are
being given at the Ashby-avenue Hall
under the direction of the Society of
Friends by Rev. f. and Mrs. Mary Mere
dith. Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the meetings, and though but
few services have been held thus far sew
eral conversions have been reported. Mr..
Meredith is a speaker of much power, and
Mrs. Meredith succeeds well in holding the
attention of an audience.
a Sunday-school of an undenomina-
tional character is soon to be formed under
their auspices. The services to be held
both morning and evening tomorrow
promise to be of highly interesting
nature.
