and Rincon Parlor No r. The Fifth
Regiment drum corps acted as escort to
Alameda Parlor No. Al, Piedmont Parlor
No. 120. Brooklyn Parlor and Auburn Par
lOr No. 80.
The good things of Native Sons parade
are not crowded to the fore, and Grand
Marshal Prindle observed this time hon.
ored custom to-day. Consequently the
ninth and last division, Of which Noah
Rogers was marshal and A. Ii. Hoehner
and j. A. Anthes aids. contained as many
interesting features as the first.
Following the Los Gatos band came
delegation of young ladies of Los Gatos
Parlor No. 124 They wore dresses of
orange-cOlored material. with black hats
trimmed in yellow. Their banner was
one of the most attractive In the parade,
and four small children, attired similarly
to their elders, acted as pages. Olympus
ParIor No. 1S9, HalryOn Parlor No. 146
Precita Paror No 1877 and SeQuoia PailOr
No. 100 followed in the order named.
The First Regiment Drum Corps led a
vast army of wheelmen, including the San
} Jqse Road Club and every bicy rider in
the county of Santa Clara. Their costumes
we're varied and Picturesque. and in most
instances their wheels were decorated
with large parasCls and drapery of ma
tiOnal colors.
The bicycle industry must certainly be
In thriving condition. judging from the
number of mounts" in line.
This brought the big parade to an end,
with the exception, of course, of the us
nal army of Juvenile stragglers, farm
wagons and advertising devices. The
farm-wagOns and their contents are in
themselves an attraction, almost unknown
TO the city folk, and in consequence they
claimed large share of attention. After
the review in front of the Courthouse, the
grand marshal dismissed the various par
lors, and during the remainder of the af-
ternoon the headquarters were thronged
with visitors.
The attractions for the afternoon were
numerous, but the heat induced many to
remain indoors most of the time. In
front of the Courthouse the literary exer-
cSes took place, and thousands thrnnge
the shady avenues of st. James Park,
directly opposite. From this position the
speakers could llainly be heard. and the
strains of the Filth Regiment band were
waited for blocks in the vicinity.
The exercises opened with the introduc-
tion by Grand Marshal Prindle OF the
president of the day. Joel D. Sproul, grand
president Of the \. .. 6. ". His address
was highly interesting and referred prin-
c1pally to the present celebration and the
hospitality OF the good people of San
jose
a prayer by Past Grand President John
I. Greaney was followed by a vocal selec-
ton by quartet, consisting of Messrs.
Babcock, Mann, Reynolds and Heywards.
The address Of welcome was entrusted
10 BeTtrsm A. Harrington, who made all
his listeners feel thoroughly at nome by
the heartiness of his greeting After
few remarks in response by the grand
president the remainder of the exercises,
with ihe exception of q selection by the
band, was devoted to an oration by the
grand orator, Merton c. Allen. The young
man distinguished himself by his elo-
quence and lofty thoughts. His Grafton
reviewed the cOmmendable work of the
Native Sons of the Golden West since its
foundation and concluded with a glowing
picture Of the future of the organization.
Those who had not attended the bicycle
meet then began making preparations for

sisted Of a grand ball at Turner Hall and
hop at the Hotel Vendome under the aus
pices of Stanford and Oakland parlors.
The irst-mentione ed affair attracted an ex-
tremely large crowd TO the spacious hall
of the Turner's. The grand march COM
menced at $50 o'clock and dancing was
continued until the early hours of the
morning
The Stanford and Oakland hop was
given for members of these parlors only
and their friends. The ballroom had been
handsomely decorated for the occasion,
and all who were fortunate enough to OBJ
tain ali invitation voted it the social feat
ure of the present celebration.
In the meantime the joyful outdoor
merrymakers we're causing the air TO re-
sound with their shouts. But it is now
noticeable that the voices have almost en-
tirey lost their power.
After the excursion to Mount Hamilton.
which is arranged for Tomorrow, many of
them will be obliged to order their meals
