PIONEERS ON THEIR MUSCLE.
The Society of California Pioneers left the
Presidential procession on Montgomery street,
aud proceeded to their hall, near by, to enjoy
their usual Admission Day banquet. Dur
ing the course of the day these veterans got
up regular old-fashioned pioneer entertain
ment. Apparently they had been pretty well
treated during their Oakland trip, and this
mingling with the good cheer of their own
convivial board proved too stimulating for
these ancients. Something or other gave rise
to warm words. Blows followed, and in one
case knife was drawn. The drawer was
bounced, his clothes torn off, and he was hus-
tied about roughly and run out of the hall a
solitary reporter. who happened to be present,
incautiously attempted to take some notes of
the proceedings, when he was utilized as a
football by the bold Pioneers, and finding
discretion the better part of valor, took a
flying leap through window, escaping
without serious injuries, but almost disabled
for a sedentary occupation. He attributes
the fracas to the pernicious custom of mix
ing liquors.

the evening the streets around the Palace
Hotel and the great court and galleries have

and was received with cheers and clapping of
hands In few words he thanked the

introduced to the people Mrs. Hayes, who
also bowed her Acknowledgements and re-

and others, but no speakers appearing the
throng slowly dispersed.
MISCELLANEOUS
To-day D. B. jackson, on behalf of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, invited
the President to make his voyage to Oregon
on the steamer State of California.
The President chatted at some length
with Congressman Page and Pacheco, Sena-
Boalt, Frank M. Pixley, Ex-Governor Low,
J. D. Spreckels and others. He said that he
was not going to make speeches. He did not
visit the Pacific Coast for that purpose, and
even if he so desired, had not prepared him
self
At every station where the train halted
the President received kilograms inviting
him to different towns and various forms of
entertainment. He accepted an invitation
from 2. B. Cornwall to visit the Mechanics
Fair some hour Saturday. He was also in
vited by Captain Goodall to hear Bishop
Simpson preach next Sunday. He has de-
cided not to visit Yosemite until his return
from Oregon.
At many of the stations along the route
fruits and flowers were sent to the President
and Mrs. Hayes. Friendly messages, some
verbal and others in delicate handwriting, ac-
the tokens of regard. The ladies
at every station conveyed their desire to see
Mrs. Hayes.
Between stations the President and Mrs.
Hayes conversed freely with their visitors on
various topics. Mrs. Hayes is an exceedingly
talker and very close observer.
She already knows a good deal about San
Francisco, and had formed and expressed de-
cided opinions against the new charter. In
with General Barnes she asked
how the election resulted. When informed
that the charter was beaten, she inquired if it
did provide that women should not hold of
tice in the public or in the common schools.
The General replied that, as he interpreted
the charter, it did not place that restriction
on the employment of women. She said if it
did, it was barbarous clause, and she hoped
that the charter would be defeated.
