Native Sons and Daughters Celebrate
at the Fair.

at the Fair.
The Native Sons and Daughters of the
Golden West divided with Rex the bonors
of the day. The combined orders orgi-
nally intended TO have grand street par
ade on the day set apart to be celebrated
under their auspices. They finally decided,
however, to join forces with the Mardi
| Grass jewellers. and so it came about that
there was pleasing celebration In Festival
Hall yesterday afternoon.
The programme consisted of orchestral
and vocal music and brief addresses by
the grand president of the Native Sons
and by the grand president of the Native
Daughters. Grand Orator IL. c. Gesford
also spoke in eloquent terms.
Festival Hall was specially decorated
for the occasion and 80 was the great as
sembly-roOm in the Heldelburg Castle.
There q reception was held in the evening,
followed by dancing and a general good
time for all the participants.
The exercises in Festival Hall, in cele-
bratiOn of the fete day f the Native Sons
and Daughters of the Golden West. began
with an overture by Cassasa's Midwinter
Expo -ition band. This was followed by
an address by John T. Creamy, grand
president of the Native Sons.
! Mr.. Creamy extended cordial welcome,
on the part OF Native Sons of San Fran
| cisco, TO visiting parlors and to the repre-
sentalives of the order who had come from
| different parts of the State. He referred
I TO the good times representatives of San
Francisco parlors have when they go
visiting In interior counties, and was glad
that an opportunity was here afforded for
something N the way of reciprocity.
Mr.. Greany's address was followed by a
vocal solo by Miss Cathie Coursen. and
| this solo was so we'll rendered that the
singer had TO give an encore.
| Then came an address by Miss Minnie
Coulter, the grand president of the Native
Daughters OF the Golden West. She en-
tered into some explanation as TO the OBJ
jects of the order of which she is presi-
dent, and incidentally referred To its in
| fluence In the line of the elevation of her
sex.
Miss Coulter said that the social features
and the mutual benefits available in con-
Dection with the order were almost inesti-
! liable, but that their Influence was far
reaching and unmisiakable. She cautioned
her sisters in the order not TO admit their
| inferiority to men, and she plainly told
the Native Sons who were present that
they ought not TO marry women on whom
they felt com elled to look down.
Following Miss Coulte-'s address came
an interesting vocal advertisement by
| Eugene Beauce, after which the exercise s
were brought to a close by an address on
the part of II. c. Gesford, the grand orator
| of the order The exercises in r stival
| Hall did not cover more than an hours
time, and everybody 10 attendance then
went out to the recreation grounds to wit
hess the tournament.
The fact that Eugene San6ow has at

The peculiar popularity of the wonder

danger of our boys and girls becoming too
athletic, for the jority OF them after lay
