The San Francisco Cadets and
Henernan's Band took the over
land train for home yesterday.
They were escorted to the depot by
the Fire Department, which turned
out in full force with their engines
and carriages, and the Los Angeles
Guards. The procession was very
fine and was received by great
crowds of people who lined the
streets where it passed. The visit
of the Cadets has been a very pleas
ant episode. All the courtesies
possible were extended them, and
they, on their part, did everything
In their power to make themselves
welcome visitors. We have never
seen finer corps of young men.
They are not only thorough in
their soldierly accomplishments,
but they possess versatility of tai
ent which gives them social &C.
ceptance everywhere. The Cadets
make it practice to go every
year on a weeks excursion to some
chosen point. Last year they
spent their vacation at Santa Bar
bara, and next year they contem-
plate trip to Lake Bigler.
Yesterday morning, about 10
o'clock, farmers team that was
drawn up by the sidewalk on Main
street, near the Junction of Spring,
took fright at O.borne's band
wagon and started off on run
along Main street, starting Os-
borne's team on a run also. In the
wild run down street two-wheeled
vehicle was struck and smashed
into splinters aud the horse attach
ed to it rolled into the gutter. The
runaways also collided with Jesse
Avise's hack, breaking the pole
and almost stampeding the team.
The Tustin farmer was thrown
from his wagon but did not sus.
tain serious injury. Osborne's
four.in-hand turned in upon the
sidewalk in front of Noels wine
room and was thus brought to a
halt, two Of the horses being seri-
ously injured. The original runa-
ways were stopped somewhere In
the vicinity of the Philadelphia
brewery, when it was found that
one of the horses had cut q fearful
cash in the left fore leg.
