-Iripe Hill was lost. Like a true Cen

and Tor the next ten minutes the valley
ana hills resounded with the cheers Of the
YIctors- The thousands of spectators who
lined the wooded hills opposite Tripe
Bill joined IN the cheering and aug
mented the enthusiasm by waving hand
kerchiefs, hats and parasols vigorously.
The men returned to their quarters
dusty, damp ana tired. But their spirits
were keyed up 10 such "A pitch that all
they could talk about was the battle.
That they relished their suppers goes
without saying.
THE wDSD-UP.
Last night was like all last nights Of
camp.
Everybody turned out to have a good
time, and they had II. Governor Mark
ham gave reception at his quarters. and
shook hands with people until his arm
ached. The First Artillery Band opened
the musical part Of the programme with
some OF those selections for which
Charley Neale and his men are noted.
Then they gave way to the San Francisco
bands, and the latter, after rendering
several selections, gave way to Won der
Mehden's string band.
There were concerts at the several
brigade and regimental headquarters. Al

ever, was the most attractive programme.
The First Artillery Band, after it had I'm
lShed at the Governors tent, Joined the
Chico band, and the two gave double
concert. Charles Eilerman, Sacramento's
pride, was there and gave two cornet
solos, which brought forth storms OF APP
plause. He came down from san Fran
cisco to-day specially to participate in
this concert. Musician Kellogg of the
Chico band, who has a reputation all
through the northern citrus belt as a
whistler, gave several selections. AR
chic" Major WeinStOck's little colOred
mascot, was there in all his glory, and so
was Colonel Henshaw's pickaninny.
Both sang until they had to be choked off.
The principal feature of the entertain
ment, however, was the presentation OF a
handsome leather medal TO handsome
Jake Bauer, by the brigade staff. The
presentation speech was made by
"Archie"-or rather was read by him.
The manner in which the little darkey
stumbled over some of the big words
created the suspicion that the compost
ton was the production of some mind
more fertile than ''Archie's." 1t ran
this way: Ladies and gentlemen. sum-
mer soldiers and winter soldiers, young
and old, big and little, white and black.
We have among us this evening one who

some SeYenty-two long, very long, sum-
mers ago. During all the weary days
and weeks and months and years that
have since passed this cussed sinner
upon whom L now plant my angelic gaze
has gone through life burden to his
parents, disgrace to his family and
libel upon the citizens of the civ in
which he has lived. Early in his man
hood he left the city Of his birth for the
good of that city, and to elude his credit
ors, and came to the Western extreme
Of civilization, and
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE TOWN
Located in the Capital City
of California, Sacramento. After
blowing in all he had carried away
from those foolish enough to trust him.
he found nothing left him to do to keep
from the County Jail or the Poorhouse
but to begin to blow his brains into vel
low clarionet. He has been engaged in
this noble avocation as far back as the
Oldest Inhabitant Of Sacramento can re-
member, and strange as it may seem, he
still lives. Lives as an example of what
man may be and may do, and vet. in
this land Of the free and home of the
brave, escape the gallows. Need [, after
this brief sketch of his brilliant and un-
sophisticated career, add that the dis
tlngulshed criminal whom l have been
aIlurlng to is none other than that hard
citizen and bad musician known to every
Sheriff and Chief of Police in the land
as Jake Bauer. 1t is because OF
the high regard and the low esteem in
which this Bauer is held by all in the
command, especially by the gallant and
handsome officers of the brigade staff,
that have been chosen by them to enjoy
the eXtingulshed honor of presenting him
with this magnificent medal of dishoner
Bauer, bower of beauty that you are, rise
u M ont fgoF lT,-
white hands this magnificent proof OF our
affection. Let it ever be q reminder TO YOU
that though young in years you are old in
vice and IN wickedDess. Let it ever be O
reminder to you that beautiful as YOU
may be you cannot hope much longer TO
eYade the sheriff whom you have long
enough succeeded in so successfully baf-
fling. Let us trust that when by the light
OF the silvery moon you this night fold
your tent and silently steal away-from
your creditOTS-that you Will show yOur
appreciation Of our depreciation of your
character by at least retaining this medal
upon your motherly breasts
The lucky bandsman made a witty
speech IN reply, and promised TO wear
the token the rest of his life. The medal
bore the inscription: "Jake-Presented
to Jacob Bauer by the Brigade Staff at
Camp Columbus, August -, 1892. A
token to the boldest, bravest, best be-
haved and baldest bandsman in camp"
QUITE a COMPLIMENT.
Sacramento's regiment received a COM
pliment, accidentally, from Governor
Markham yesterday morning that is
causing considerable comment. 1t APP
peared that Governor Markham, with
General Dimond and several other
officers, was watching the morning drill.
The First Artillery Regiment was ma
neuvering at the east end of the field
close to where Colonel Skaters regulars
We're drilling. 70 a stranger it was hard
to tell which was which, and so il hap
pened with the Governor. He watched
them for some time with pleased smile.
Its easy to see" he said, ''the difference
between the regulars and the militia
Just see how that body Of men moves
about their precision and promptness.
It's pleasure to watch them"
Brigadier-General Sheehan, who hap
pened TO be one Of the party, heard the
remark, and said; tBut, Governor, those
men are not ali regulars. Those to the
right are the First Artillery Regiment of
Sacramento"
"0hn' exclaimed the Governor
Inasmuch rs the san Francisco repi-
ments had been claiming all the drilling
honors, despite the reports Of the inspect
ors 10 the contrary, and had been jeerine
at the work OF the 'hayseeds, y this little
break of the Governors was highly an
preciated by the country boys. As a mat
ter of fact, the latter showed their superb
ority as soldiers over the metropolitans in
every instance during the week They
learned the new tactics faster, were better
fitted for long and fatiguing drills and be-
haved themselves better.
