JUBILEE NOTES.
NuMBER THREE.
SAN FRANCISCO, February %, 1870.
EFT. News: The second edition OF
the grand big musical jubilee was run
off this afternoon, after the same glo-
rious style as yesterday. The pavilion
was not more crowded, for it could not
be, but Thousands were turned away
from the doors, there being no possible
show for any more crowding inside.
The grand chorus, however, received
some additions, for there were nearly
| 100 more ladies to-day than yesterday.
| Over half were ladies. l estimate
their number at 800 or 900-perhaps
there were less. but I always estimate
ladies for all they are worth-try to,
ANYHOW. THAT great amphitheater, Of
crowded humanity, arrayed In tiers one
above the other, receding back u
upward, from the orchestra to the big
organ on the upper row, bore
the appearance of a grand musical Boz
quet. The ladies with their pretty
head dresses, and red, white, blue,
green and other colored dresses and
| ribbons, were the beautiful flowers
comprising it, and it was topped oil
rather tamely by the gentlemen occu-
plying the upper seats, In their sub
dued, dark colored coats. The whole
formed n gorgeous scene, such as Is
witnessed but once in q lifetime.
Smart G~enernlship.
Anybody who thinks that 800 ladies
can be easily managed, marshaled or
controlled, is not posted in regard to
the sex ut all. Many a man finds 1t a
rough job to manage even n woman,
let alone 500 Of them. But 1t nus be
r~ecollected that these were all well Sc
lected, we'll behaved, respectable ladies,
endowed with an extra degree Of sound
sense. Hence it was that when the
time came for them to file In from the
big ante-room, they were easily direct
ed into their places, filling one seat
after another in regular order, until all
were properly seated, and never guar
reling or treading on each others
dresses in doing so. In fact, l look
upon the entire Jubilee as an extensive
miracle of good management. The
number present, exclusive OF the Or
chestra, Is estimated by the Bulletin at
from IL 1000 to $4,000, and l think the
Bulletin Is about right.
The Best Looking.
This collection Of ladies In the
chorus, from all parts of the country,
Is not only u talented but an exceed
ingly handsome one, only the best
looking and best singers joining. From
critical inspection, however, laying
aside all feeling of Partially, l cannot
help thinking Il own delegation,
from the land of sagebrush, is fully as
good or better looking than any Of
them.
The Weather.
1t rained hard and steadily all last
night, and till about 8 o'clock this
morning, therefore the streets were
sloppy, yet little or no rain fell the
balance of the day-4uitc a convenient
piece Of luck for those going to or
coming from the Jubilee. The weather
is still unsettled.
Tho Jubilee Exercises.
The pieces given at the Pavilion, to-
day, were generally of n less sensa:
tional character than those of yester-
day, yet they were all grandly given.
with splendid effect. The first was

the protector of the Jubilee, herself.
Great was the flutter of anticipation and
the moment she made her appearance,
coming forward upon the orchestra
platform, she was greeted with q ire
mendous and enthusiastic burst Of APP
plaRse and cheers from the entire
audience. The entire chorus arose as
one individual, and 500 ladies' hand
kerchiefs fiuttered and waved In the
air. Madame Urso Is a middle-agcd
lady, rather short in stature, and was
dressed in a rich blue satin dress COW
cred with the finest lace, Advancing
to the front, she proceeded to the exc
cution of her musical undertaking, the
entire audience throughout remaining
