MARSHAL LASTS BOUQUET.
He and His Aids Compliment Each
80 Other,

Before the dismissal of the procession
Grand Marshal G. F. A. Last invited all
his aids and marshals to partake of a
lunch with him at the Palace. This was
readily accepted, and at O'Clock more
than two-thirds OF his staff were present.
The spread was enjoyed by those pres
ent. A. McNally acted as commissary,
and called upon John P. Moran for a
few remarks. Mr.. Moran spoke in glow
ing terms of the admirable manner in
which the procession was handled
by the grand marshal and
concluded with the remark that Los
Angeles would always look forward with
pride and pleasure to the celebration OF
so patriotic day.
Robert E. McGregor was next called
upon, and made modest speech wherein
he briefly dwelt upon the many trying
circumstances grand marshal must
undergo in getting up and classifying
such large body of people, represents
ing every trade and profession, and do
ing it in a satisfactory manner not alone
to the citizens of Los Angeles, but to the
county in general.
L. Weinger made happy speech, and
in few well-directed and pointed re-
marks hoped that after such demon
stration the people would recognize and
contribute to the support of home man
ufacturers.
Andrew McNally responded to ''The
Ladies" in very feeling and enthusi-
astic manner. He felt proud to be in a
Fourth of July procession, especially
when on parade he saw on the corner
his wife and children, natives of the
golden west, clapping their hands.
Grand Marshal G. F. A. Last next re-
sponded, and with slight tremor in his
voice due to the highly eulogistic re,
marks of those who had preceded him,
said that his heart was too full to allow
him to express in words what he felt.
He praised his staff, which SO ably as
sisted him in the successful carrying
out of the programme. At sthe conclu.

consisting OF A. McNally, r. +. Nc.
Gregor, j. M. Skinner, G. G. Hall and

ing Fourth of July speech, paying high
compliment to the generosity CT the citi-
zens who had done 80 much to make il

THE FIREWORKS
Witnessed by an Immense Crowd of
People.

FeOple.
The display of fireworks took place in
the open ground in front of the Wolf
skill depot. An enormous crowd, which
may be estimated at from 1O,OOO to 49,
600 people, assembled to witness the
display. Several hundred carriages and
wagons, filled with people, made an
almost solid wall around the crowd, and
directly in front of the fireworks and
about block away large bank OF seats
had been erected for the accommodation
OF those who were willing to pay twenty
five cents.
The first bomb was shot up at a little
after O'Clock, and from that time until
after 9 the display continued. There
were number Of large set pieces, not
able among which were the elephant,
the Bartholdi statue and the dancing
sailor. AS the wind blew the smoke
directly toward the audience, some of
these were not as successful as they
would have been under more favorable
circumstances. The cascade of fire was
very handsome, and attracted much ap-
plause. The bombs were ON the whole
the most satisfactory. A band of music
played national airs as the display pro-
Nceeded.

Captain Innes Found.

The body of Captain John Innes, of
San Pedro, who left home two weeks
ago for days hunting on San Clemente
island, ,and mysteriously disappeared, was
foundyesterdaymorning bya search party
of his friends on the rocks at the foot of
high bluff. From the appearance of
the body it is probable that Innes lost
his way and wandered about until weak
from lack of food, when he fell over the
bluff, striking his head on sharp rock
and fracturing his skull. Coroner We'll
don was notified of the discovery, and
will probably hold an inquest upon the
remains today.

THE FIRE BELL.
1t Calls Out the Department Several
Times.


The fire department was kept toler-
ably busy yesterday, most of the alarms
turned in during the day being caused
by the ignition of awnings by fireworks.
At 4 80 O'Clock in the morning an
alarm was turned in from box 80 for a
lively blaze at the Brunswick saloon on
North Spring street. Fortunately the
fire was confined to case of coal-oil,
which was dragged out without further
damage than the loss of the oil.
An alarm was next turned in from
box 45 at a. M, for grass fire on a
vacant lot at Spring and Seventh streets
caused by fire-crackers.
Alarms were rung in at o'clock p. m.
from boxes II and 72 simultaneously,
but as the boxes were of the old style
and interfered the alarm was unin-
telligible at first. The department,
however, translated it Alright and located
the blaze, which Illuminated the sky for
some time, at the residence of d.
Noonan, a single-story frame dwelling
house on Palm street, between Fifth
and Sixth streets. AS the fire had gained
too much headway and there was a
firemen were unable to extinguish the
flames, which completely devoured the
house and it's contents valued at 81 800.
The cause of the fire was the explosion
of a coal-oil lamp. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.
While running to the fire, the Park
hose cart was upset owing to the un-
evenness of the road between Seventh
street and the burning building, but
fortunately no one was injured. Jos.
Pryor, of the hook and ladder company,
was thrown from the truck near Seventh
and Mateo streets and the heavy vehicle
passed over his legs, fracturing the left
and seriously injuring the other. He
was picked up and conveyed to the
police station in the chiefs wagon, and
DR.. Wing attended to his injuries.
An hour later sparks from rocket
ignited the roof of j. J. Hubbards resi-
dence, No. 226 Bunker Hill avenue, and
an alarm was turned in from box 81, but
before the arrival of the department the
blaze had been extinguished by the in
mates of the house.
At IL o'clock an alarm came in from
box 121 for small blaze at First and
Lazzarevich streets, which was promptly
extinguished by the Boyle Heights en-
gine company.
A rocket fell upon the roof of Mrs.
Patterson's lodging house at II 20
O'Clock last night, and almost caused
panic among the inmates. The depart
ment was called out by an alarm from
box As, but its services were fortunately
not required.

THE YACHT RACE.
THE PENELOPE EASILY WINS THE
FIRST RACE.
She Defeats the Aggie by Twenty five
MANIFESTATIONS, of the Second Class,
Defeats Her Competitors.

Had the fresh southwest breeze which
sprang up at 10 O'Clock yester-
day morning continued till the
middle of the afternoon, Dan Nc
Farland's schooner-yacht Aggie would
have carried off the honors in the
great yacht race held in the channel at
San Pedro. AS it was the Lacy boys
newly-launched Penelope crossed the line
fully twenty-five minutes ahead of her
only competitor, proving herself zone of
the best "drifters" on the coast. The
La Paloma had a mortgage on the sec
ond-class prize and won easily, with her
rivals out of sight.
About 1000 people watched the race
from the Hermosa and the Warrior, the
yachts themselves and the Catalina,
which was occupied by the judges.
Probably thousand more stood on the
wharves at San Pedro and scanned such
portions OF the course as they could see
from that position. There was some de-
lay in getting everything ready, and the
first yacht got away shortly after IL
O'Clock instead of half an hour earlier,
as was announced. There were seven
entries in the two classes, but at the last
moment the Nellie, the newcomer from
San Francisco, owned by Messrs. Kiefer &
Wallace, became disabled by breaking a
center-board chain, and the frst-ciass
was left with only the Aggie and Pene-
lope to race. The executive committee
held meeting early in the day, and de-
cided to withhold the second prize for
the first-class, and to give the Nellie
chance to race for it week from Sun
day.
The starting yachts, dimensions and
crews were as follows:

The yachts were towed out of the
harbor shortly before II O'Clock, and
at IL :56 the whistle to start was given
from the Catalina. The course, as pub
lished some time since, was divided into
three sections, seven miles from the bell
buoy, down the harbor nine miles back
and four miles to the home buoy. The
yachts came up to the line in good shape
as quickly as possible after the signal,
and crossed in the following order at the
| time given:
Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-05
time given :

A fair southwest wind was blowing
when the yachts started. and the six
passed down the course in beautiful
shape with every inch of canvas spread.
The first four boats maintained their
relative positions for the first leg of the
course with one exception, the Paloma
increasing her lead on the Rambler per-
ceptably. The Aggie gained slowly upon
the Penelope, but could not overtake
her. The latter broke her topmast early
in the race, and was compelled to run
under lessened sail. At the leeward
buoy the yachts stood as follows:
