Inc glorious 1Ourtn In the CITY pre-
scented few new features to the visitor
yesterday. The small boy offered up
incense in the shape of all the explo-
eives he could lay his hands upon with
quite as much enthusiasm as heretofore.
The decorations were hardly worthy
of mention as whole, though there
were exceptional cases where they were
elaborate and beautiful. The city had
apparently exhausted itself at the time
of the presidents visit, or else the citi-
zens have accepted the councils state
ment as fact and decided that they are
poor. Consequently the rather slim
display of bunting.
THE PARADE.
At 8 O'Clock, as advertised, the parade
commenced to form on Broadway. The
various divisions got together in good
order and little difficulty was expert
enced in forming. It worked east on
Seventh street to Main street, north to
the plaza, thence it marched south to
Spring street, and on Spring street to
Fifth street, where the parade was dis
missed, it having been moving in all
about two hours.
The parade was headed by Chief Of
Police Glass, mounted, leading squad
of mounted police; drum and fife
corps followed these, and then came a
squad of police with rifles on foot, fol-
lowed by two squads of police with
batons on foot; this comprised the
police force display, which presented a
fine appearance.
ETie next thing to attract admiring at
tention was the National guard boys,
headed by Col, W. g. Schreiber. The
signal corps and the new drum and bu-
gle corps presented particularly fine
appearance with their new uniforms and
shiny accoutrements. The companies,
marching twenty men abreast, followed,
showing the result of long and patie mt
drill in perfect step and correct align
ment.
The second division, commanded
by 4. H. Hutchinson, and accompanied
by Bosshard Bros band, followed close
after the N. G. G.
The Societa Union Fratellanze Carl
baldina turned out twenty-five men. A
troop of Spanish horsemen in national
costume and a rider, uniquely dressed,
on burro, representing Early Califor-
mia, followed by two OF the mounted
Continentals, were features OF this di-
vision.
Then followed carriages, eighteen in
all, containing United States, county
and city officials and members OF the
celebration. The first carriage contained
Mayor Hazard, H. q. Osborne and other
members of the general committee.
NJ Whit0 r1rocidQnt nf tho dow
rode in the second carriage. The board
of supervisors, the library board, Cap
tain Seamans and heads of other depart
ments followed after, as did also the city
councils of San Buenaventura and OF
Monrovia, with other invited guests.
The Anaheim military band furnished
music for the third division and the fire
department, headed by Chief Moore
and Assistant Chief Moriarity seated in
the department buggy. After them
came Engine No. l, with its truck and
company Engines and trucks Nos. 2
and 8 followed; then came the Park
hose, conservatively decorated. En-
gines and trucks 5, 6 and and the
hook and ladder, ornamented with bunt-
ing, completed the fire department dis
play.
