| spot. Golden Gate Park.
The parade ground, 10 front of the band
! stand. afforded an excellent shelter yeSter-
| day afternoon, and scene that was worth
| travelling miles to witness. just imagine
few thOusand-ten or less-gayly dressed
men and women sitting or promenading
about in the open space facing the music.
and 10 the right OF them good many hun
! dred-twenty or mOre-of all sorts and
sizes of handsome turnouts, vctorias,
broughams, landeaus. road wagons, carts,
and every kind OF vehicle used for pleas
! ure driving.
And around the whole put beautiful
profusiOn of green foliage and sweet
scented, blooming flowers. People the
vehicles with richly dressed ladies display
ing all the spring and summer c0lorS in
their hats ana costumes.
Imagine the countless horses, all high
steppers, wel-fed and welI-kept animals,
many with caparisoned and nickel or
silver mounted harness, and many more
with stad and dignifed liveried cOachmen
or fOotmen.
It's gay scene, is il not?
And YET it's not as gay rs that scene by
the music-stand yesterday afternoon really
was, for words alone fail to convey it all.
1t was too glittering. too brilliant, too
bright, too gay. too beautiful a scene to be
accurately portrayed in black and white.
Many saw il for themselves, and were well
reraid for the little journey to the park it
cost them. Those who failed to see it
| missed something that cannot be compen-
stated for by a written or Illustrated de-
scliptiOn, but which, fortunately, can be
and is duplicated nearly every bright Sun
dav afternoon in Golden Gate Park.
Beautiful and imposing as the scene is,
however. if you want to see who is riding
to-day and how the animals step it. you
want to take position on the road that
leads from the music-stand to the conser-
vatory. There you'll see them all, for they
go TO hear the band play awhile and then
spin around through the park. Here
you'll see the beautiful animals in action,
the high-Steppers and the PAGERS spinning
along at a seven or eight mile gait.
Stop here a moment and let's see who
are our, if there be any fast hoIseS ON the
road to-day or any people we all know, by
reputation at least.
Well, there's Irwin c. Stump and wife
behind a beautiful black horse that holds
its head high without being checked up to
skin jacket. On the seat between them is
a SKYE terrier that seems to be enjoying
the bright sun and the beautiful green
things on every hand quite as much as
anybody. The Stump's turnout is very
neat and new looking. but quite unpre-
tentous in its way-the vehicle. at least,
which is no more than good road wagon.
Dave Lasar and his lady-the latter
very pretty and modest looking, by the
way-Spin along next. Dave drives a hand

thrOngs would seem less beautiful and less
gay. Music adds more to a scene like this
than one would be apt to appreciate until
It's absence was felt.
Meanwhile. though, the fashionable
teams are going by faster than any one
can hope to enumerate them. Only one
out of every dozen can be caught and rec
ognized, and one must be quick to do that.
There goes Mrs. DR.. COhen's double
team and coupe. The coachman is in full
livery and looks quite stunning as he
handles the ribbons that guide that beau
tiful span of match browns. 1t is hardly
an elaborate turnout. but one that makes
quite showing even in this brilliant con-
course.
The team right behind it, also driven by
a coaehman in livery, belongs to Mrs.
John .. Earl. It's quite an imposing spec
tacle to see two or more of these liveried
cOachmen and their fine teams together.
That elderly gentleman. with the bushy,
long white beard, is Mr.. Otis. His is quite
family turnout, and sure enough Mrs.
Otis and their daughter are along. The
old gentleman is driving a splendid span
of match BAYS that attract good deal of
attention. The roekaway. with the top
up. is quite comfortable looking vehicle.
Altogether this party looks to be precisely
what il is family party bent on comfort
and enjoyment rather than style. Though

II yon want to see Thoroughbred look
quickly and catch a glimpse of Joseph
AuStin's bay horse in front of that phae-
ton. There isn't better driving horse in
the city than that driven by the commo-

the Park Commissioners. He would be
bound to turn out with something superior,
for he takes big interest in Golden Gate
Park aGd in driving through it.

tiful young lady with him is Miss Stow,
his daughter. Those who drive much in
the park know her pretty face and always
look f0r'it when they see the thoroughbred
BAYS coming.
Park Commissioner r. P. Hammond is
here also. He rides in light road buggy,
usually alone. and drives a beautiful bay
horse. He is a well-known figure among
| those who drive much in the Park and
whereabouts. That's his team there, just
in front of that chestnut horse.
By the way, that chestnut horse is q
| sumner. isn't he? That's Phil Cohen's
latest acquisition. You never saw finer
chestnut stallion in all your life. Yes you
can see. they're all looking that way. If
Phil keeps that stallion it VIII soon become
one of the notable horses of the Park cav
acade.
Is that all? Not by a very long ma jority

That's the doctors wife and family inside,

HILL ON FINANCE.
The Northern Railway King Is a
Free-Trader

ST. PAUL. June lin view of the
close personal relations existing between
President Cleveland and James J. Hill
of the Great Northern Road the following
expressions of the latter in response to a
toast at the banquet to him here last night
are considered significant:
''For the last m Onth or six weeks there
has been a stormy time financially, but
the country at large is prosperous. The
conditions of the country are more than
favorable and the conditions of our North
west are certainly as promising as they
have been at any time during the past ten
years. If there is one thing more than
another that has caused these jolts il is
the attempt on the part of those charged
with our legislation 10 tinker with ma tiers
that cannot be controlled by legislation
Commercial laws are as certain in their
operation as the laws Of nature. Com
mercial laws carry with them the means
to execute themselves. They enforce their
own penalty.
Take the condition of our country to-
day, due to our financial legislation. If
we could remove the so-called Sherman
act we would have what no country can
do without-we would have confidence.
Il think the United States to-day stands
better than any other part OF the world for
| investment. II we could remove the one
condition brought about through a want
of knowledge on the part of the men who
were responsible for it, / have no doubt
we would began an era of prosperity the
like OF which we have never had.
you can no more mend financial or
commercial conditions by legislation than
you can mend broken limb by statute.
and / hope the time will come when our
people will see that the protection of every
man in all his natural rights will be the
rea sonabls limit of our legislation, and
when all our commercial matters will be
governed by commercial law and CONNER
cial usages"

SOME SMALL FAILUREC.
The Worst of the Financial Crisis
Seems to Be Over.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June 1.-THE Union
Stockyards State Bank filed an assignment
this morning. The assets were placed at
S4S2,667, and the liabilities S163 40. The
bank is capitalized at 100000. The clear
ing-house committee which investigated
the failure states that it was due to loose
methods of carrying on business and will
not affect anybody else in the city. The
deposits are less than $4,000 and there Is
no possibility of any loss to depositors.

BAssEsT OF THE BASS.
The Big Bassoon That Was the
Feature of the Concert

The top of it looks like a vent1lator on
an ocean steamer. The other part of it
looks for all the world just exactly like
like-well, like contra bassoon, and that's
just what it is. They footed 1t yesterday
out at the park band concert, and folks
who are judge of that kind Of noise said
it made very good music which added not
little 10 the tone of the whole perform
ance. They say it's the biggest bass0on in
the world.
About half way between the top of the
bassoon and the floor is the head of the
musician who does the footing. Between
his teeth he clutches a silver tube. The
latter is connected directly with the main
valve of the instrument and appears to
serve the purpose of a windpipe.
The basSoon was the big feature of yes-
terday's concert at The park. J. j. Mand-
wyler played it. He used it first and to
best effect in his bass solo called "In Gel
lar Cool" 1t is supposed to be very hot
