THE CAMERA CLUB.
It's Entertainment Last Evening q
Pronounced Success.
Upward of One Hundred Views FIX
hibited-A Literary and Musical
Programme.

The Sacramento Camera Club scored
a splendid success last night. 1t had a
fine audience at the Congregational
Church, and entertained it for an hour
and half in a way that it believes is
entirely satisfactory, judging by the
applause Of the people and the express
sions Of satisfaction.
The views numbered over one hun
dred, and were of wide variety, in
Guiding landscape of mountain, valley
marine, plain, foothill, garden, etc;
architecture, foreign and home; por-
traiture, sentimental illustrations, ami
NAL and human figures, Industrial IL
hIstration, machinery, art, railway
river, snow, cascade falls, ocean,
bay, road and path; interiors, exteriors
Eashlight and instantaneous views, hui
morous views, etc. In addition, there
were examples of the very best Euro
pean professional work, views in Yel-
lowstone Park, on the Snake River,
in Paris, etc.
The works shown were by Messrs.
Burr, Nourse, Shaw, Fetherolf, Woods,
Kohler,. Adrot and Miss york and by
Principal Jackson of the Sacramento
School of Design. The pictures were
all superior; indeed, the expressions OF
surprise when they were contrasted
with the professional European high
priced plates, was general and very
complimentary on the part of the spec
tators.
Mr.. Woodson, an honorary member
of the club, was detailed to act as de-
iineator, and threw into the explana-
tions many interesting facts relative to
the rivers, grain production, mountain
and valley scenery, soil yield, naval
artillery, stock raising, Sacramento
County, river freighting. Sacramento
scenery, characteristics of the views
shown, of waterfall and foliage plates,
etc.
The musical portion of the enter
script of an interesting character from
Captain H L. Howison, Commandant
at the Mare Island Navy Yard; G. r.
Slocum, Ensign, U. S. N, Assistant IN
spector of Ordnance, and Frank O..
Afaxson, C. E., .. S. N, both of Mare
Island.
The musician portion of the enter
tainment was by the Imperial Quintet
Club-R. J. Carpenter, A. w. Black and
c. w Larkin with mandolins, and c..
W. Spaulding and F. w. Blanchard
with guitars, the latter gentleman play
ing in one encore the xylophone- The
club was recalled twice and compli-
mented by hearty applause.
The literary portion of the entertain
ment was by Miss Ellen Howe, who read
charmingly and with good taste Ten
nyson's Brook" while twelve beauti-
full illustrations of il were thrown upon
the screen. She was so successful that
the audience insisted upon her return
to the rostrum, when she referred to
the views of the splendid race horses
which had been shown, and the stories
of whose achievements had been told,
ard then proceeded to recite in dram
attic style the tale of the jockey in a
race in which Salvador and Tenny
were the chief figures.
President Shaw, assisted by Edward
Johnson, presided at the stereopticon,
and Mr. Nourse served as programme
adjuster; MestIs. Adrot, Woods, Koh-
Ter. Burr and other members served as
ushers and reception committee. 1t was
an all around successful entertainment,
and so greatly encouraged the club that
it promised the audience that the sec
ond of the series shall eclipse the first.
