yeered around at some point of it to the
special features of parade or ball which
most struck the fancies of the speakers.
Pioneers, without exception, spoke highly
If their handsome treatment ty the Native
Sons, and tie li,tl life lies of the past
were compi tsly forgotten; the sons and
daughters were still full of exuberant spirits
and boldly proclaimed that they were "the
people; business men rejoiced that the
event had gone off so anspiciously, and all
concurred that the celebration had done
much for the reputation of the State and
the profit of the city.
DESERTED HALLS.
Around the headquarters yesterday the
deserted rooms formed striking comparison
with tie scene of hustle they presented on
previous days. At the Executive head
quarters in the Baldwin Hotel Only much
abused builetn-board represented the CON-
mi tie located there; In the press head
quarters the sideb0ard and a hoSpitable at
ten ant were still on duty, and 10 the Native
Dlughtsrs' symposium only an inverted
b t.ie-cover, which some wag suspended
from the gasalier, gave notice that the re-
JoicjngS in that corner were at an end. At
the permanent headquarters Of the city par
llfs and the temporary ones of the interior,
the only traces of the previous days festivi-
ties were to be found in the general state of
disorder which appeared everywhere. Most
of the country members had already left for
home or were packing up preparatory to
saying good. by to the city. These had
nothing but words of praise for all with
whom they came in contact the various
committees, the officers and the people at
large-and besides the "reminiscences of
what is now an historic event, carry back
with them to their country homes pleasant
remembrances of their reception.
THE sTEINBACH INCIDENT.
1t had been rumored during the morning
that a grand wind-up of the festivities would
be had in promenade concert last night at
The Pavilion, but inquiry at the building
found Chairman Steinbach and his cohorts
busily at work tearing down the booths and
removing the decorations, utterly uncon-
sciouS of any such arrangement. No such
entertainment had been provided Tor, and
he rumur was no doubt the outcome of an
. orrect report in morning contempo-
It.fy.
While making his investigations at this
point THE CALL reporter was presented
with the following open latter, explanatory
of Mr. SteinbachS action in keeping the
Pavilion closed on Tuesday afternoon:

To The Public: Considerable comment has
teen caused by not opening the Pavilion yester-
day afternoon after the procession. In justice

desire for the safety of those who entered
the building. Bowling to his superior judg-

justly criticized by his fellow-members.
DEPARTING GUESTS.
At o'clock yesterday morning the j. D.
Peters left for home with the members of
Stockton Parlor, No. Z, who had been using
the steamer for their headquarters during
their entire stay here. The parlor brought
down 10 members. and with their guests
and band numbered fully 1000. They were
seen off by members of the Reception Com
mittee and the hosts of friends they made
here during their sojourn.
At 10 o'clock the steamer Oregon sailed for
Portland with the visiting members of Vete-
ran Firemen, who came from there to assist
in the celebration The steamer was deco
travellers for whose benefit she was held
back two days from her regular sailing time.
This action of the company was gratefully
acknowledged by the cheers with which Gov
ernor Perkins was greeted when he made
his appearance on the wharf.
A similar compliment was paid by the
steamship company to the Native Sons who
hailed from the southern counties, for whose
accommodation the Santa Rosa was held
back for twenty-four hours. At II o'clock
the Santa Barbara, Los Angeles aud San
Diego parlors marched on board with their
band, followed by the hurrahs of their
friends who went to see them off. The
visitors were profuse in their acknowledge
ment of the courtesies extended them, and
gave three hearty cheers for Captain Guod-
all and the company.
The members of other visiting parors have
been gradually leaving for home since the
parade ended. To-day the bulk of th sc who
stayed over to watch the closing hours of the
celebration Will take wings for their former
haunts.
PARTING NOTES.
Much favorable comment has been made
upon the fact that the badges of the visiting
parlors were not traffcked in by persons
who desired to obtain privileges intended
solely for Native Sons. OF the many thou
sands who accompanied the country men,
bers to the city not single case was noticed
of the unauthorized use of parlOr badges, but
on the contrary guests badges We're con-
spicuuusly displayed. This is feather in
the cap of California whose hospitality has
heretofore been shamelessly imposed upon
by the excursionists who followed TemplaTs,
teachers and Grand Army in their reunions
in this city.
The, retailers of San Francisco are par
ticularly happy over the celebration. All
have come out with large profits, notwith-
standing the liberal amounts they taxed
themselves for TO help out the Natives
Nearly every branch of business has been
benefited. Hotels and restaurants OF course
lead the procession with record of big
profits.
Sonoma County parlors advertised their
: fruit and wine industries by liberal gifts
of both to all of the visitors at their mead
quarters
During the two days holiday the Society
of California Pioneers entertained 5000
people with chicken lunch.
