HISTORICAL TABLEAUX TONIGHT.
The feature at the Pavilion on Friday
evening will be the historical tableaux,
given under the auspices of the Native
sons and Daughters, assisted by num-
Der Of ladies and gentlemen from the
southern part Of the State. The tableaux
will be Of a military character and under
the supervision of Adjutant-GeneraI

This entertainment, intended to be
81 /, lN,1T
tornia, Will be given on the large plat
form in the west wing of the building in
the midst of the historical displays In
the center of this platform has been
erected an ancient flagstaff from which
will be displayed alternately the Spanish,
Mexican and American flags, in the order
in which each was thrown to the breeze
from the same staff in years gone by.
On the east end of the platform Will be
a squad of soldiers, while around the
sides are ranged several old cannon used
in the early wars between Mexico and
Spain and subsequently between Mexico
and the United States.
The center Of the platform will be oc-
cupied by few distinguished guests, and
the Native Sons and Daughters will be as
signed to the west end. From the flag
staff referred to the Spanish flag waved
over Monterey in lT75; in 1922, when
Mexico achieved her independence, the
1919 the Stars and Stripes waved from it
on the day that California was admitted
to the Union.
First the Spanish flag will be run up by
Senior Carlos de Ia Guerra of Sauta Bar
bara, 4 descendant of an old and noted
Spanish Mexican family. The band will
play the Spanish national hymn, and
San Bernardino Indians will ring the old
bell which called the people to religious
service in the San Fernandez Mission
church nearly a century ago. This bell
was cast at the mission in 1909. 1t is
largely composed OF gold and silver dug
from California mines, showing that the
existence of these metals was known
here at least a half-century before Mar
shalPs discovery.
When the Mexican flag is run up, by
Don Antonio CorOneI the Mexican ma
tional hymn will be played, and Mrs.
COrOnel Will ring another and smaller
bell Of the old san Fernandez Mission,
also cast in 1903.
The ''bear flag" win next be honored.
and then the American flag-the identical
piece of bunting which t1oated from the
old weather. beaten staff in l849, and now
in the possession of Rev. Father Casa
nova-will be similarly honored.
" hen this is done the band will play
"The Star-Spangled Banner" and every
body Will be expected to join in the
chorus. Those who cannot sing are re-
quested to ''holler'' with all their might.
During these ceremonies other old
mission bells will be rung at intervals,
and salute fired from little two-foot
cannon used by Father Junipero Sierra to
SignaliZe certain portions OF the mass,
and such as are still used occasionally at
church dedicationS.
This entertainment will be full of inter-
est to everybody.

In the Santa Clara exhibit, which is ex-
ceedingly large and very interesting, are
sixty-four transparencies, most of them
taken through the Lick telescope. These
views reveal celestial wonders not posi-
BILE to be seen through the great telescope
itself. Thus the milky way has by this
telescope photography been proved TO be
peopled with stars OF infinitely greater
number than the telescope has revealed;
