Los Angeles herald., 1891-09-17

The celebration OF the S1st anniver-
sary of the independence of Mexico was
continued in this city yesterday by the
Spanish-American population. At sun
rise, noon and sunset the Mexican flag
was raised and salvos of twenty-one
guns were fired in honor of the event.
In the afternoon very large crowd col
lected at Stimson's hall on Upper Main
street, where literary exercises took
place under the auspices of the Junta
Patriotica and Sociedad Progresista
MeXicana.
On the stage were three gayly dressed
sefiortas, costumed to represent Amer
ica, Justice and Liberty, and chorus of
ladies and gentlemen under the super
vision of NJ. S. Arevalo. Besides these
there was group of young ladies, each
attired to represent a different state of
the Mexican Union. The Sociedad Gar
ibaldini, and other civic and military
societies were also represented.
NJ. S. Arevalo opened the ball with a
violin solo, accompanied by Senorita
Mercedes Garcia.
+. A. CampuZano, president of the
day, made few opening remarks at the
commencement of the programme, and
Attorney H. H. Appel followed with the
address of the day. After the Mexican
national hymn had been rendered by
the band, Mayor II. T. Hazard addressed
the audience in English, and spoke very
hatteringly of the patriotism which char
acterizes the Mexican republic. SeflQr-
ita Bibiana Villa rendered several selec-
tions from the Mexican national hymn,
and was followed by ex-Auditor Montana,
who made short address. After
selection by the band and song by
Seilorita Ascension Rocha, Rafael j.
Dominguez, the young Spanish orator,
delivered an eloquent address. The
remainder of the programme consisted
of speeches by Captain j. 2. Zabaleta,
Francisco Dominguez and Patricio l.
Perez, solos by Senoritas Amelia Lugo,
Rosa Coronado, Rosa Sanford and Inez
Coronado, and music by Busshard Bros
band.
Stimson's hall was crowded as it had
never been before when the grand
march inaugurated the ball in the even
ing, and the number of dancers was so
almost impossible. The ball was
great success IN every way. Captain
