and prettier sight than the ship presented
was never seen on the city front. Hun-
dreds of people gathered on the dock to wit
ness the novel sight. and for their edifca-
ton Captain Maloney set Off blue and red
lights and distress rocket signals The latter
make a loud report that can be heard
eighteen miles as they are fired and another
loud report when they burnt at height OF
600 feet. They are charged with dynamite
and are the latest invention IN use on sailing
shp5.
Captain Maloney is the only shpmaster in
port that has had his flags flying as requested
by the committee since the 9th inst, and In
the stiff breeze blowing on Sunday he had
six flags blown away. He is an old trader
to this port, having been running here for
the last eighteen years, thirteen years OF
which he has been master. Three years ne

the last ten years master OF the hne vessel

the best decorated, his or Captain Maloney,,s.

flags depended from each masthead down to
each yardarm to the rail on either SIDE,
while Bear flags were displayed everywhere.
In the evening rockets. distress signals and
colored lights were fired off, and Japanese
lanterns were placed on the yards, to the
great delight of the large concourse Of spec
tators gathered on the dock.
The committee will certainly have great
difficulty in deciding who is entitled to the
prize, but the betting is in favor of the
British Merchant.

which Was the Best Decorated Ship In

decorating the ships in the harbor, co NJ
posed of Captains A. C. Bingham, Mart in
the III asters of all the ships n port, asking
them to decorate their vessels with flags and
bunting from the 9Th to the 10th insts., as
the celebration wpuld last that long. stating
that a prize would be offered to the best
decorated vessel
None Of the American shpmasters In
port seemed DESTROYS of winning the prize,
for none Of them had more than their
burgee, house flag and set of signals flying,
while many had only the ensign at the gait
end.
The British ships, however, hoisted all the
flags they had on board or could borrow and
did their level best to do honor to the day.
The best decorated ships were undoubtedly
the W. j. Pirrie, CAPTAIN Webster. and the
British Merchant, both lying at Union-street
Wharf. Both were handsomely decorated,
and it was a friendly rivalry between the
two vessels, and the judges will find it hard
matter to decide which is entitled to the
prize.
The British Merchant. three master. had

head the American ensign flew, Mt the main
the house flag and at tie spanker gaff end

Only one chairman of a subcommittee.
John 81. Hegler of the Executive Finance
Committee, was present He was hard at
work ON the accounts of his committee, and
was considerably elated to find that his CO.
workmen had done such good work. He
stated that Henry Martin and r. 2. Wieland
were the hardest workers. but other men,
bers in telling who were the hardest laborerS
in the cause of raising funds mentioned the
Chairman'S name.
Mr.. Hegler stated that the subscribed
amounts aggregate about $4,000 and the
appropriations by the Joint Committee of
Arrangements $4,000; Later. appropria-
tons are to be made by the officers of the
committee without reference to joint con-
sent. This was decided upon at the last
Joint Committees session, aud Is meant to
expedite matters as well as obtain better re-
suits. 1t is thought that the actual appro-
priations under that privilege will not ex-
coed $4,000 more. and that the S44, coo sub
scriDed will be ample to cover the total ex-
penses.
At O'Clock, on the arrival of several
members of the press from the bay steam

been closed all day, were opened and soon

YERBA BUENA's BANNER.
The Most Beautiful One Borne in tbs
Procession on Tuesday.

The Most Beautiful One Borne in the
Procession on Tuesday.
In the hurry incident upon re. orting the
details Of the grand celebration it was not
possible to describe at length all the features
meritiIg special description. but the banner
of the Yerba Buena Parlor. No. 81. is worthy
of extended notice as one OF the finest pieces
of embroidery ever seen in this country.
The banner is of plush, of Capncine red, a
shade approaching that popularity known as
copper. The drapery. or valance, is of ar
ioise or slate blue plush. In the center is
painting representing the original settle
ment of San Francisco or Yerba Buena.
This picture is apparently on satin, but is
really done on canvas. The painting was
the work of the late Alfred G. Rodriguez.
The painting is in the form of a circle and
is applique to the plush, and surrounded by
a rope embroidered in solid gold thread.
The rope is apparently secured below the
picture in a love-knot with fringed ends.
Over the picture are the letters n. 5. g. w.
in gold thread.
On the right hand side of the banner is
worked tall group of cat-tails, with an
iris. a daisy and some grasses near the base.
Mkt to the whole group is a plOw, sheaf
of wheat and a rake, the last thrust through
an exquisite curving arabesque extending
down into one of the deep tabs, into which
the lower part of the banner is cut. The
corresponding tab contains slightly diff
gun extending through it. Above this, on
the opposite side of the banner, is CHINA
mon bear near pine tree, the last extending
upward to correspond with the cat-tails
On the right hand side of the balance is
an embroidered representation of an od-iime
camp-kertle, hung from logs over fire. On
the opposite side IS group consisting OF
shovel, a pick, pan and transfers
whip. Across the middle of the balance are
the words Yerba Buena Parlor, 50,
worked in gold.
All the embroidery is In bullion inlaid
and telling stitch, in several tints. An inter
estlng feature of the embroidery is the in
genuity with which various tones in gold
lave been introduced. The pine-tree dis
plays a greenish cast, the bear a brownish,
the fire a reddish, etc. The whole design is
the work of Mr.. George c. Hawley, men,
Der of the parlOr, and was carried out under
his supervision by an artist. who occupied
The design, however. is strictly American.
and the work displays nothing of an
Oriental effect. The completed whole is
gorgeous beyond description.
The banner is edged with gold braid and
fringe, with gold cord and tassels The
stand is of oak with nickel-plated trim
niings. Above the banner are two gilt
bears, and the pole is surmounted by gilt
spiked ball The back is of Nile-green
satin, with a balance of heiotrope plush.
Upon the back are the name of the parior
and date of institution. The dimensions of
the banner are 3:6x5 feet. The cost was
over $500.
