on Sir John Macdonald to-day and urged the
Government to place further restrictions

Yesterday worthy of note. The members OF

bringing up the rear. Piedmont Parlor
turned out liz members and Oakland Par
lor had about the same number in line
1t is estimated that between 10000 and 49,
eco residents of Oakland crossed the bay 10
San Francisco yesterday. Special trains
were run on the broad-gauge from Broad
way between the regular trains, from Z 80
to 1890 O'Clock in the morning, making
trains every fifteen minutes. These specials
were put on again for the return. They
were so crowded IN going TO the pier That
many who could not get on the platforms
hung on by the open windows with their
feet on the rods under the cars. Extra
boats were also run to accommodate the
crowds. The creek boat made hourly trips
to 1915 o'clock in the afternoon and was
crowded each trip. Many persons waited
over an hour at the ferry on the return trip
before they could go on board. Altogether
it is said TO have been the largest crowd that
ever crossed the bay in any one day. Not
withstanding the jam and the recklcssness
of some, no accidents worthy Of note &C.
CURED.
Never did Alameda present such a deserted
appearance as it did yesterday. Early in
tie morning the exodus to San Francisco to
witness the parade commenced, and by
noon less than one-third Of the population
remained. All the stores on Park street
were closed, and that thoroughfare was as
quiet as street in the residence portion Of
the city on Sunday morning. The local
trains were crowded to their utmost capa-
city, but no accident of any serious conse-
quence occurred. The police kept a sharp
lookout Tor burglars who might be attracted
to Alameda because OF the temporary alb
sence of the majority Of its residents, but up
10 8 o'clock last night no bursaries were re-
ported.
