formed at the corner of New Montgomery
and Mission streets and marched up Mar
ket to Golden Gate avenue and thence to
the north gate of the fair. Despite their
long walk in the heat of the day the pro-
cessiunists looked smiling, calm and de-
bonair as they encircled the court of honor.
The parade was chiefly military in char
,tx1o h61 MI or,t,
forms. The main feature of the line was
a magnificent float drawn by four white
horses. Seated on chairs were number
of young ladies, representing all natiOuali-

marched back to the Administration Duild-
ing. They were reviewed by the Grand

and were then dismissed, the men stacking
arms in the plaza.

A soul-felt atfectiOnate greeting to the I'm
perial sovereigns, Francis Joseph and Eliza

the feelings which to-day animal the hearts of
thousands on Tie coast OF the Pacific. Time
and distance cannot impair the admiration
which these thousands entertain toward the
venerable dynasty of HapSburg, which, in the
fullness OF its years. is this day lovingly remem
bered by the sons Of the fatherand, with the
prayerful hope that IL may ever continue in
the enjoyment of honor, prosperity and peace.

Carl Eisenschlmel was then introduced
as the orator OF the day. He spoke of the
day as an ausp cous one in vi"w of the
fact that the sons of AustrO- Hungary
were gathered together in this fair land as
men whose political fealty to the republic
of rha United States is only equaled by
the fial love for the land where the Elbe
winds and the d nube sweeps.
He said that this gathering was intended
To link together the people of the Au>tro-
Hungarian Empire with unity as perfect
as that welded together between the be-
loved Emperor ana his Empress forty
years ago. Mr.. Eisensci imel's speech then
reviewed briefly The prosnerous reign of
the Emperor and the Emnress, and re-
yerted also to the proud sosltion occupied
In busIness circles by Austro-Hungarians
IN the Uniled States.
