Many Take Farewell Look at Comte
de Paris Remains,

LONDON, Sept. "a large number of
persons visited Stowe House to-day to
take last look at the body Of the Comte
de Paris, the head of the royalty of
France. who died yesterday. 1t became
generally known that the public would be
admitted 10 the bouse, and this had the
effect Of drawing many persons through
curiosity. The body is lying upon the bed
in which the Count died. By his hands,
which were crossed upon the breast. was
a large crucifX. At~the feet of the bed
was tricolored flag partly furled, while
the priest aud several members of the fam
lily watched over the remains.

lively refused to ride in q carriage, and
prefers footing it with the boys. This is
the sort of stock the Natives spring from.
Is 1t any wonder they shout all nighk and
parade the streets all day?
But while the Native Sons are vigorously
celebrating the admission of the Golden
State, the Native Daughters are not in the
background by any means. They are here
In scores, and torce the boys to flush with
pride at their presence. In their own Pc
culiar way they are covering as much
ground as the male natives, and enjoying
themselves fully as much if not quite so
demonstratively as the latter. To be sure
they are debarred from the privilege of
Dartaking of that famous bullshead break
fast, but they are laying plans to take CON-
plete possession of the grand ball to be
given Tomorrow evening as sort of wind
up to the affair, and on Tuesday they will
help de pleie the cash account of their broth
ers by making the trip to the Lick Observ-
atory on Mount Hamilton.
1t is elegant icecream weather, and in
this particular pastime the natives have a
chance to distinguish themselves. And
the boys are willing they should. While
the gin-fZz and steam beer ordinance re-
mains unenforced they apparently have
very little use for icecream. The girls in
sist upon their rights, however, and have
been fairly reveling in favored soda-water
with icecream attachment.
The event of to-day was the mammoth
bulshead breakfast, booked to take
place at Agricultural Park at 10 o'clock
this morning. The bull was trifie slow
in arriving. but patience was one of the
many virtues possessed by the average
Native Son, and the time was passed very
agreeably in inspecting the livestock and
horse flesh quartered in the park. Horse
flesh is not appetiZing, however, attractive
as it may be otherwise, but the nights
revelry was sufficient to sharpen the appe-

have been more than usually palatable if
the observer could mold his judgment by
the number of "dead soldiers" strewn
about the grounds. The contents of bot
ties were consumed by the boxful, and
each box contained from three to four
dozen.
In grove of trees situated about the
center of the park long rows of wooden
tables had been erected in semi-circular
form, and around the entire iucl0sure two
menacing strands of barbed wire were
strung The barbed wire was one of the
features of the event. 1t had the effect of
cooling the ardor OF few venturesome
spirits, who determined at one stage of
the proceedings to take time by the fore
lock and dispose of quantities of roast
meat out of season. They enjoyed it bet
ter, however. whep their turn came.

natives. who had spent the night in gazing
