One of the features of the evenings
festivities was speech by Seflor Coro-
mel, the first mayor OF Los Angeles. The
speech was delivered in Spanish, and
was received with applause by the Ma
tive Sons. The following is a transla-
ton OF the address:
GENNTEMEN My heart beats with
deep pleasure to find myself amongyou,
and to join you when solemnizJng one of
the most noted days in the history OF
this state.
You all must know that my sympathy
for this association is without limit, be-
the links of social life; through it are
and fraternity, and through it are in
state and country.
As child is proud of his mothers vir-
tues and her queenly ability, so must
you yourselves lCSl pIOuQ III llStNluS
been born in this wonderful state, that
has attracted the worlds attention,
firstly, with her fabulous riches; sec
ondly, with her glorious climate, and
lastly, with her Incompatible resources.
Looking the world over, where can be
found her equal? On account of these
things she has rightly been called the
garden of America.
In toasting, gentlemen, trust that as
has been the growth and progress of this
state, so too will be that OF the associa-
tion of the Native Sons of the Golden
West, until it becomes one of the great
est and most noted of all societies.
thank you most heartily for the
honor shown me in inviting me, and |
repeat that it is with deep pleasure that
participate in this banquet.
Isidore B. Dockweiler recited the STIR
ring poem, The Banner of the Bear, in
excellent style.
Mr.. Variel also favored the company
with a couple of recitations, which cap
tured the Native Sone. His French rec
itation was very clever.
Before the Native Sons dispersed,
Stephen M. White made a few appro-
pirate remarks in regard to the next
grand parlor which is to meet in Los
Angeles next April. He said that it
was the ambition OF r mona Parlor that
Los Angeles would excel all other cities
in the entertainment of the grand par
lor. The banquet broke up with cheers
for Stephen M. White and the next
grand parlor.
