THE DECORATIONS.
List of Those who Beautified Their
Homes.

/
| Homes.
The decorations were quite plentiful
and elaborate on Downey avenue, and
occasionally few flags were to be seen
displayed before some house on G. side
street. The Decoration Committee bad
stretched long lines of flags and stream
ers across the avenue from end to end
and erected four arches, but the decora-
tions displayed on private residences
and stores were many Of them unique
and beautiful.
At the head Of the avenue can be seen
a CLEAN of color through the trees from
Mr.. Holgate's residence on the hill. The
next place that attracts the eve is the
Sspulveda residence, corner Of Hancock
street. An arch Of green leaves and tri-
colored bunting rises over the gateway
and supports beautiful floral bell On
the front of the house is white banner
bearing the legend "Hurrah for r ,bin-
son." while colored bunting and flwers
are 80 disposed as TO produce very fine
effect.
DIR. Carlisle's house displays tasteful
decorations; the Embody mansion on the
corner of Workman street makes credit
able display of bunting, as also does the
house of w. w. Stockw we'll little further
west.
DR.. Aikep's residence was one OF the
most tastefully decorated houses on
the avenue, and between his and
the Sapulveda residence the COM
petition for the $40 prize seems to lie.
Mr.. Twiss also makes credirable dis
play.
DR.. Shoemaker's house gave evidence
of taste in display of bunting and
flowers
Gen. R. H. Chapman made
liberal use of national flags in front of his
residence, and numerous other resi-
dences exhibited more or less bunting.

notice for their decorations may be men.

Some of the Prosperous institutions
of the East side.
The factories of East Los Angeles are
not many in number, but they are all
prosperous, and are important factors ia
the city's growth. Their success is an
unerring index OF what will be accom-
plished as the population increases and
trade expands.
PACIFIC CLAY MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
Tie largest industry in East Los An
geles is the plant of the Pacific Clay
Manufacturing Company for crushing
rock for building foundations, streets and
other purposes. All of the crushed rock

Mayor Hazard,s speech.

Hon. Henry T.. Hazard, Mayor of the
city, was then introduced, and he made
very fowery address on the city of Los
Angeles. A synopsis of it follows
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-This is a
grand event, not only in the history of
East Los Angeles, not only in the his.
tory of Los Angeles, but in the history
OF the whole of Southern California.
Here is destined to be the greatest city
of modern times. In the visions Of
youth, when l scaled the high mountain
tops and looked down over East Los Al
geles and beheld here sheep pasture,
and over on the other side OF
the river the little town of that day,
l did not dream of the revelations of
this day. Here we have the greatest
mechanical achievements of the day
brought to bear to give us this splendid
system, whose setting in operation we
are here to celebrate. Iu the past, in
the days when the enterprises to make the
city were begun, there were three great
men whose names always rise up before
my mind. Two of them rest beneath
the sod in the beautiful land they loved
so we'll. One of them lie still with US
refer to General Phineas Banning of
Wilmington, to Don Benito Wilson OF
San Gabriel, and to DIR. John s. Griffin
of East Los Angeles. DR.. Griffin's grey
hairs connect us with the past. He
never was wanting in any undertaking
for the furthering of the interests of the
section. He stands here and breaches
to us to day in eloquent speech
of what we may achieve in the
future. After his eloquent speech do
not desire to detain you long. But Los
Angeles is greatly favored at this tins
l look back to the time when the found.
ers OF Chicago began their great work.
!! look now to the great city they have
built by the lakeside. I had a letter
from the Mayor of New York the other
day asking me to do all could to secure
the worlds fair for that city. 1 wrote
back to him that l would have to do
what lay in my power for the great city
of the West. l want Chicago to have
the fair. The people of that great city
in looking about for place to invest
their capital where it will earn them the
largest returns, have selected Los An
geles. They have come here to spend
millions of their money, and the result
is this splendid system of cable
roads. They knew that here is to be
the great city Of the future. Those who
come here come to stay If any ones
path leads him to this sunny cline OF
Los Angeles, with it's flowers that bloom
on the hillsides, he will stay here. Let
but our future keep pace with the past
in all lines of development and the city
will soon be the Fgreatest on the Coast.
And when look upon this great cable
system see always that it's success, the
perfection Of it's management is due in a
large measure to the great executive
ability Of Mr.. Robinson.
The eloquent Mayor said much more
that was good, but the reporter is just
reminded that space is being filled up
and he has to stop here.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-11-03
1t Is a Good Place.

Stop for refreshments and cigars at J
E. Calvin's, No. 800 Downey avenue,
corner of Hayes street. Mr.. Calvin is
we'll and favorably known to Angelefios,
and was formerly the senior member oi
Calvin & Coburn Of Third street. His
establishment is frst-class one, his
wines and liquors unsurpassed in East
Los Angeles. and his lager is of the
finest.

Glad the day, and glad the meeting
Finished! Gladness beams on every hand;
Holmes and Robinson, we greet thee
Thy fame is ringing thro' the land.
Speed thee on thou rolling cable,
Destined now the road to rule
All shall hail the glad deliverance
From that motor called a mule.

The Last Chapter.

After all the ceremonies were over the
cars conveyed the great crowd to their
homes as easily and safely as they were
taken to the end of the avenue.
From this time on the three branches
of the system will run cars every five
minutes, the first cars leaving the south
end of Grand avenue, the east end oi
Downey avenue, and the east end of First
street at ten minutes past 5 O'Clock.
They will until midnight.
In the evening there was a grand dis.
play of fireworks from the hill at the
north end of Hansen street. All East
Los Angeles was lighted up by the bril-
liant display.
Joe Mesmer was the moving spirit OF
the celebration at all times. He put his
shoulder first to the wheel and pushed
until the last act was done last night.
He merits much for his untiring eff1rts
There are few mlstak kes made Of more
or less importance above. The Eubody
family now live at the corner of Downsy
avenue and Workman street, directly
opposite the power house of the cable
road. 1t is the elegant mansion for

purchased by Mr.. Embody.

"Prestol Changel" tits done by magic,
Mules no longer rule the rail,
But the rattling cable greets us,
And the people shout. All Hail
Tired mule, go to thy pasture,
Green or dry, We care not which;
Best thy weary limbs from toiling,
QuaR the climate, "and all sich.

But tits now no longer doubted
As we pass the railway span
'Tis u pleasure to be cabled-
Try it with nickel, man.

Yes, the girl you loved at school
Take a ride with you by cable,
Ger the thing that fred the mule.

III,

We remember how we loved thee
When the cars shot off She track;
But we cursed the driver loudest,
And we wished he'd eot the whack.
Sweet the memory of the mule team;
Patient mule, adieu FAREWELL
Poets oft shall sing thy praises
OF thy beauty they shall tell.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-11-03

Let this glad event be cabled
To our cousins round the earth;
Bid them come and see improvements
Full of blessing and of worth

Of wild and scheming brain,
