THE ANNIvERsARY PARADE.

A Change Of she Programme.
Contrary to the custom that has been in
vogue foi the last eight years in Eureka,
the Fourth VI July procession turned out
of the regular route. and crossing q vacant
lot, emerged into Main street SO far south
OF the Eureka Consolidated works. that
the employees on duty there could hardly
get . glimpse Of the grand display, much
to their chagrin and disgust. Everything
had been arranged through the thoughtful
ness Of the foreman. Mr.. Stevens, and the
night foreman, Mr.. Poindexter. to accord
the urnou all the customary honors, and
somewhat more. Flags. tsstefully arran-
ged, ioa,ed from all the most prominent
points about the property. A miniature
privateer lay ut anchor in the reservoir,
with guns already 10 fire . salute. A very
large force Of men were busily engaged lay
ing the dust and removing distractions
from the supposed route Of the procession
in front Of the works, SO as to make 1t ~
pleasant for the participants as possible.
The engineer had received orders TO COM
mence blowing the whistle when the head
Of the column had arrived at . certain
point. and continue until the rear had
passed; In fact. everything had been ar.
ranged to accord all honor to the day we
celebrate, and the procession. The Rich
mond whistle was the signal that the car
nival had commenced, and each man
proceeded to take possession Of the most
available point for Sightseeing. Thu coal
receiver ensconced himself comfortably
upon the top OF . car. load Of coal. while
his men rang I'D alongside. One man, more
eager to obtain . most excellent view.
to the envy Of the rest. climbed
70 the top Of the tall fume stack;
the feeders had secured the knot holes and
cracks in the vicinity Of their stations.
through which to catch . glimpse OF the
brilliant array, all expectant that . few
moments Of enjoyment would be sand
wiched between the hours Of toll, but all
were doomed to DISAPPOINTMENT. and .
more exasperated set Of men would be
hard to find. The engineer was mad, and
vowed that II he had only been boss for
i've minutes he would have blowed that
blasted whistle in not very complimentary
| terms to Q miserable turnout that had not
| common civility. ALI were chop-fallen,
and looked the disgust they did not ex-
/ press in words. Upon returning to our
work we accosted one OF the feeders
thusly Well. Tommy, how did you like
the processionf .Och. be jabers. it's me-
| self has been staring me eyes out tro the
| crack In the wall beysnt, aud divil the red
| top did I % yit."
Well, We did not not miss much. for q
| poorer turnout than the Aforesaid we have
| never seen in Eureka. The procession was
! not expected to conntermarch before the
works for our especial entertainment. or
| the management expected to raise their
hats to worAingmen; though had they done
20. they would have discovered gentlemen
enough to return the complainant. Thu
rear Of this long to be remembered display
was terminated by what we supposed at
the distance We were compelled TO view 1t.
| to be q large crate or cage-this must have
| contained the "Horribles" We have heard
10 much about Of late. The reserve OF
| Indians and Chinese failed to put in an
appearance. so we lost that. too.
Towards evening the Centennial Guard
| and band marched down, and we're met al
Superintendent Donolly's residence, who
| welcomed them by Q few fitting remarks
to which the boys responded with cheers
| They then marched over to the works,
| This, OF course. will not be construed o.
an apology for the uncivil treatment Of the
morning demonstration. bat rather as .
compliment rendered by the @. ntennial
Guard. several reasons have been assigned
for the conduct OF the Fourth Of July man.
