University of the Pacific.
Miss Hattie Butler left Grass Valley yesterday morning to resume her studies in the above
named institution, located on the Alameda road, midway between San Jose and Santa Clara. Miss
Butler is spending her second year in the University, and is accompanied on her return by Miss Julia
Peyzer, of Grass Valley, who now becomes a student of the oldest chartered institution of learning
on the Pacific coast. The University is now presided over by Rev. C. C. Stratton, A.M., a successful
educator, as well as one of the ablest, lecturers and pulpit orators of the State. Rev. J. N. Martin, for
two years the popular pastor of the M. E. Church in Grass Valley, is Professor of Ancient Languages
in the same institution. The University never enjoyed the confidence of the community in which it
is located more fully or did better work than now. Persons having either sons, or daughters to send
from home for an education can not find a bettor place for them on this coast, intellectually, socially
or morally than the University of the Pacific, while the climate, and scenery are not surpassed in the
world.
The Hutchinsons.
The concert by the Hutchinson quartet, at Hamilton Hall, on Wednesday evening, was one of
the most pleasing musical entertainments given here in a long time. Had the audience entertained
any doubt as to the ability of the singers, that doubt was dispelled from the moment the first notes of
harmony wore struck; and throughout the rendering of a somewhat unique programme, the interest
and pleasure of the audience was fully enlisted.
The elder Hutchinson and wife, after many years as singers, retain the melody of their voices
wonderfully, while those of the junior members were rich and finely cultivated. The singing of the
younger Mrs. Hutchinson gave particular satisfaction, as the silvery tones of her voice rose and fell in
harmonious cadence, and held the audience, in charmed admiration. There is no effort at staginess
with these singers. They conduct their entertainment in a simple unaffected manner, but thoroughly
and well always. They left an excellent impression here, and will be warmly greeted should they ever
return.
