The Closing Ball

II. NOrCucuOG pupliS, dI tHe
armory last night, marking the
closing of the dancing school, was
in many respects the most bril-
liant that the professors pupils
have ever given. At 9 o'clock,
to the excellent music by Prof.
Bergman's orchestra, the twenty
couples of little tots and young
folk composing the grand march,
came filing in, each dressed in
fancy costume of the old colonial
days, with powdered hair and
stately mien. A waltz was in
dulged in, and the Washington
minuet was danced very grace
fully by Misses Leafy Sylvester,
Edna Culverhouse, Hazel Hitler,
Mary Burford, and Masters An
gus Blrdsy, Charles Gray, Ralph
Robinson md Morris Smith, with
very pretty recitation, my
Grandmother of Long Ago." by
Miss Leafy Sylvester. The Sail
or's Horn Pipe, by little Miss
Edna Culverhouse followed,
Edna is one of the most graceful
dancers of the school, and did
full justice to her excellent train
ing. She was called back, and
nothing less than a repetition Of
the pretty little hornpipe would
satisfy her audience.
A feature that many thought
the prettiest, was the cake walk,
song and dance, by Miss Mary
and Master Robert Burford,
which fairly brought down the
house. Their delineation of the
swell negro and his "Lulu" dane
ing and "walking" was SO pretti-
ly executed; so true to character,
and danced with such ease and
nonchalance, that the audience
insisted on having them repeat it.
The applause was tremendous
and compliments many and pro-
fuse.
Hope Robinson, a dainty little
miss of five or six summers,
trlpped the golden spray In
perfect time, dressed in a beauti-
full costume of black gauze, with
a big hat of black plumes. She
seemed a fairy, and elected great
applause.
Miss Hazel Hitler, dressed in a
becoming Spanish costume of
yellow and black, executed with
graceful movement and perfect
time, the pretty Spanish tambou-
rine dance. This young lady is
one of Professor Northcutt's $ most
apt pupils and executes with ease
and grace all of his most difficult
fancy dances. Her dance was
much appreciated by the audi
| ence.
Miss Leafy Sylvester, robed in
a costume of the national colors,
to the quick time of the "Stars
and Stripes" danced one of the
most beautiful pieces on the pro-
gram; a spirited one with many
beautiful and intricate figures,
which she executed with the ease
and grace that always character
ICES her appearance before an
audience.

eral plan and prompted the jury to
award Mr.. Benard's designs the first
prize
The architect has not lost sight of the
educational features of the university
in making his plans. The gymnasium,
military department. dormitories. club
houses, etc, have been made secondary
features to the main educational build
ings. They are finely grouped, with
plenty of provision made for expansion.
While the dormitories are separated
somewhat from the main groups they
are conveniently located to both the
athletic field. the gymnasium and the
classical departments.
Mr. Benards plans. aside from their
merit as architectural designs. are
works of art. They are all wash draw
ings most artistically executed. AS to
the detail of the buildings, that is a
matter of after consideration. The
plans are drawn to represent stone. and
more than likely that is the material
that will be used in their construction.
The cost of the buildings has not been
computed, but when it is taken INTO
consideration that the plans call for
from fifty to seventy-fve structures,
many Of which are more imposing than
any building in this city. fair idea
may be formed of the outlay necessary
to construct the new university.
Howells, Stokes & Hornbostel. whose
designs won second place. worked on
an entirely different idea from Mr.. Be-
nard. They gave prominence to the
dormitory features of their plans, zivA
ing these buildings so much space THAI
the educational departments were sad-
ly crowded. The classical buildings
are placed on the plateau at the foot
of the hill. The athletic section is prac~
tically placed the same as in the Be-
nard plan, although they have treated
in it the amphitheater form. The ar
Tangement of the grounds provides for
two main entrances; one from Univer-
sity avenue and the other from Tele-
graph avenue, the main thoroughlars
leading from Oakland Mr.. Howells Of

ellis, the novelist.
DespardeIleS & Goldman. who came
third in the contest, went outside Of
the limits of the university territory.
They planned a university on a scala
of grandeur that is almost appalling.
Great tracts of land on both sides Of
the present site are taken in and cov-
cred with buildings of gigantic propor-
tions. The fault the jurors found with
these designs was that in carrying out
a very artistic idea the architects
divided the university by a wide pubs
lie boulevard, extending in a semi-
circle from the end of University
avenue to Telegraph avenue. This
practically cut in twain the groups of

After the second trial only twenty
one designs remained as eligible.
Then there was third examina-
ton and only the creations of eleven
architects escaped the fire. 1t was re-
markable that all Of these designs re-
ceived the unanimous approval of the
jury. These eleven plans were brought
to this city and it is from them that the
jury has drawn that Of Bernard as the
best. His victory has been well won.
His work, under the fire of every pos
stble criticism, should be the best that
the world can give. 1t is a signal tri-
umph for French architecture.

finest of the eleven in the final contest

In making his designs Bernard has
utilized to the very best advantage the
grounds as they are; that is, he has
preserved the contour Of the property
as much as possible. The jury consid-
cred that a decidedly favorable point
as the excavations proposed in some
of the plans would have been extreme
lv expensive and would have destroyed
many of the beauties Of the surround
ings. Even the oak trees and the lit
tie streams in the university grounds
have been taken into consideration by
Mr.. Bernard, and his buildings are so
arranged that none of them will be dis
turbed. In the main the style OF archl-
lecture adopted is modern, but pat
termed after the classics. Mr.. Bernard
was inspired by and followed closely
upon classic lines. He has leaned
somewhat to the Roman Ionic order.
Opening off University avenue is the
great court, which the architect des-
ignates the Fine Arts Square. Around
this he has grouped the educational
buildings, strictly speaking. To the
south are the theaterS, two in number.
and structures of imposing design
East of the Fine Arts Square at the
end of an avenue upon which face the
ancient and modern history, English
the library, the administration building
and the department of Jurisprudence. is
the athletic field, backed up by the ath-
letic hall and gymnasium. AT the
sides of the athletic court are the
tribunes. and the gymnasium is a most
beautiful structure. North of the ath-
letic building and east is the military
department. These buildings are so 10
Gated that crowds can pass to and from
the athletic section without going
through the main grounds.
Up on the rising ground toward Griz-
ely Peak are located the natural his
tory group-the departments Of zoo
logy, botany and similar branches. A
museum of zoology is included IN the
group. The observatory i located at
the top of Grizzly Peak and is d pronl-
inent feature of the plans.
Down in the park where the hot
houses now stand the architect has
placed a number of small dwellings,,
presumably for the use of members of
the faculty At the other extreme of
the grounds, remote from all other
buildings. is the infirmary The dormi
tories are situated on the hillside and
the club houses are west of the athletic
field.
1t was the spacious opening court
and the. general laying out of the plan
that won it favor with the jury. The
arrangement of the buildings on the hill
was not considered quite perfection or
in any comparison with the lower
groups. but the excellence of the latter
overbalanced whatever deficiencies
there were in the balance of the gen

JEALOUSY IN THE ARMY.

The American people entertain a
strong affection for the army. Time
and time again 1t has proven itself
equal to every emergency In which it
has been called on to act. and has
been surpassed by that OF no other
country in daring achievements or
faithful performance OF duty. At
the same time, the personnel of it,
commanders has been. and Is now
cursed by that bane Of all great or.
ganizcd bodieS--bitter and reckless
jealousy. And when this ignoble
human failing obtrudes itself in any
affair which concerns the people at
large. the latter are bound to suffer
from the impaired efficiency or our
institutions and the degradation
which is wrought in the minds of
foreigners, not acquainted with the
actual conditions prevailing.
There has always been more or
less distrust and lack OF cooperation
between the officers. Of the volunteer
forces and those responsible for the
regular army. Men graduated from

they hold entitled to these honor, are
