Orc Elmo Parlor, Native Daughters,
pleasantly entertained the Santa Cruz
Parlors in their booth.
A CARD-CoLLECTING CRAZE.
A great feature among the promenaders
was the craze for exchanging carte de viSite.
1t seemed that each wanted to collect more
than his or her neigibor, and certainly
some remarkable collections of such souven-
irs were made.
1t was common to see promenaders bearing
oranges or great clusters of grapes, and the
mystery was solved when il was discovered
that the Salano County Parlors and Ar
rowsmth Parlor were giving away of their
very fine fruit exhibitions.
Mission ParlQr held continuous recep-
ton during WHICH the Baltan Quartet rem
dered some very fine selections, and refresh
ments were lavishly dispensed.
Bay City Parlor had numerous visitors
as well as an endless supply of ices and
lemOnadeS.
AT Alcatraz Parlor booth there was spread
regular supper to which all visitors were
made welcome.
Alcalde Parlor and Drill Corps had per-
haps the most elaborate preparations of any
for the entertainment of guests. A substan-
tial supper was spread, to which lady Wis
itors were admitted by relays of twenty five,
in order that they might receive full atten-
ton at the hands of the walters engaged for
the occasion. The youth of the parlor was
baby, which embellished the supper-room,
and the regulation invitation to supper was,
"Cume and see Alcalde's baby
They entertained the San Diego parlors
and did it, as they did all their entertain
ment, right royalty.
STRAY NOTES. AND QUAvEIs.
Upstairs the Alameda Band discussed

Hacyon Parlors.
Some thirty police officers were detailed to
take charge OF the assemblage, and per-
formed their duty most efficiently. There
were few incidents in their department, but
early in tine evening Officer w. ID. Scott
was obliged to throw out" some . boys !"
who had surreptitiouSly found an entrance.
The attendance was kept very select, and
this was largely owing to the efforts Of the
committees. The idea had extended to the
parlors, and it became the common practice
to see sentinel stationed at the entrance to
every booth, to whom credentials must be
satisfactory before an entry was granted.
Altogether, too much credit can hardly be
given to the Committee of Arrangements for
the general conduct of the ball as well as its
preparation. To them the elaborate SOU
venir programme was owed, and for months
they have worked hard maturing every de-
tail and providing against possible contin-
gencies. 1t consisted of: j. l.. Kehrlen

been described. They were true works of
art, and will long be preserved by the re-
cipients in memory Of an occasion that will
be long referred to by our citizens and our
visitors.
