of drapery caught fire and was speedily
communicated to the gown of one of the
chief actors, thence to others, and
for q few moments wild excitement
reigned and the scene threatened to be-
come a holocaust. However, the pres

converse and whole lot of side attrac-
tions. 1t is to be informal and very
pretty all around The purpose is to
place two or three free scholarships in
the Sacramento School of Design. Sure

L. w. Robetaile Of the Southern Pa

proved in health and spirits.
Funny, isn't it, that people should

The last meeting of the Saturday
Club for the year 1S96-07 was held yes
terday afternoon at the clubroom in the
New Pavilion. Although it was the
closing event Of the season, there was
not as large an attendance as might
| have been expected. Nevertheless,
those who were present greatly enjoyed
| the exceptional programme presented,
every number of which was thoroughly
| appreciated and applauded. The day
was of Polish and Russian composers,
excepting Chopin and Rubinstein, Tsch-
| aikowski, 1S40-1S95; Paderewski, 1860;
De Kontsk and MosZkowski, 1854, be-
ing interpreted. Miss Florence Will
Jams was very graceful in her number
| Miss Gerrish was never heard to better
| advantage, and Miss Elizabeth Taylor
gave an exceedingly difficult number
without notes and with surprising tech
nique and depth Of expression for one
| so young. The young lady is certainly
! destined, with time and health fav0ring
! her TO become an artist in the profess
! sion she has chosen. Mr.. Adler accom-
panied by Arnold Heyman was delight
| full in his number. responding to an
| imperative encore with a charming
Polonaise by Lauterbach.
At the close of the programme the
President, Mrs. w. E. Briggs, spoke
feelingly of the second visitation of the
club by death, and although her friends
could but feel saddened at the passing
| away Of Mary Dunster, said that since
she had been SO long an invalid all must
| feel it to be a relief to a season of suf-
| fering the end to which was destined
in any event to come soon. Mrs. Briggs
then appointed q committee, composed
| of Misses Twndall, De Laguna and
| Obarr. to draw up a set of resolutions
| on Miss Dunster'S death, the same to
| be placed on the minutes of the club
| Following this came the reelection of
the officers of 1897 10 the ensuing term.
| Mrs. Briggs also presented to the club
| for their approval and consideration
| the idea of forming a student class in
| connection with the club, the same to
| be limited to ten members, to have all
| the advantages OF the club and ulti-
mately to become active members of
that body. She said there was also
plan on foot among the various wom-
