It was only a stray granger who had
driven IN from Pescadero. He had not
been there before, but be mad good pair
o. nags" outside and he wanted TO enter
them for the equestrian festival he had
heard of in the papers. 81 amt sure as it
amt come off yet," he said. as he ap-
preached a guard who stood pensiyely
near the recreation grounds contemplating
the melancholy truth that bis job was to
terminate In three more days, 'but if 1t
amt want to get old Prince and Charles
in agn them broncos. I'll wager you a
twenty thar amt a man on the grounds
kin stick in their saddles"
The guard looked up with an abstracte d
air at the old man.
'tfim. what did you say ?' he inquired.
Equestrian festival? Don't know any
thing about it.
"WalI, the papers been a-telling about
it for a month" replied the inquirer, as
tonished at the ignorance of the guard.
Not lately, you don't mean?' returned
the uniformed knight.
70 Yes, sir; lately. That is in the last
paper l seen. locke here and I'll show
IT to~yOu." and the granger pulled out
San Francisco daily Of five days previous
to yesterday. Thar it is. Now. SIT, what
dye mean by tellin' me ye don't know
ma bin about it,"
The guard tossed his frizzed head back
and laughed so loud that his cap tumbled
while the merrlment shook his ribs into
palsy. Then eventually composing HIM
self. he quietly handed the newspapers
back to the granger with the remark:
MY dear friend, I'm sorry; but your
papers five days old. 1t is dcted before
the strike"
That's so," concluded the granger
Now do remember it. | ain't had no
paper since last Thursday. But amt there
really going to be no equestrin festival?
ShiveT my sides. if Ia a-knowed it you
wouldn't a catched me here To-Day"
About an hour later Buck Taylor very
GraVely approached a certain foreign o.
hleman at the grounds with the remark.
Count, l want to buy some horses; hear
you want 10 get rid of some of those ' ou
had in the great show Yesterday" The
Giunt looked up astounded, and a mercan-
tile fire broke out in his eyes. "a chance
for speculation! be must have cried
joyfu4ly to himself. Then gradually a
smile was dlscerDed creeping over the
buccaneeriHg countPnance cf the alleged
trader. The Counts smile turned to a
grin, the grin to a look of ineXtinguisba-
bic fury. Excuse me, sir," he exclaimed
quickly, 'but the general is waiting for
me upstairs, and let me remark before
90 that the next man that mentions festi-
-. val 10 me, darn him, he'll wish he hadn't"
That and the preceding incident was all
that was heard of the great equestrian
festival al the fair grounds yesterday.
Colonel Robinson explained that he had
: stopped the thing"
In its place." the colonel, who is chair
man of the department of entertainment,
as every infant knows by this time, aGded.
I'VE intend to have great celebration
Tuesday evening. which will not only
make III for ihe failure Of the festival, but
will show the people what we actually did
.. have in the Mardl Gras parade"
Then the colonel went on to outline the
programme which is to be carried
out tonight and Tomorrow. and which
was really tie only subject of life
or interest in the grounds yester-
day. = A goodly number of visitors
were dscOVeTahle In all sections and
buildings, most of them. to judge by their
purchases, seeming to be aware that the
last days of the exposition had almost
passed. The fair weather helped out the
attendance a great deal undon nbtedly.
The Observances of tonight Colonel
Robinson explained as follows:
''As q preliminary feature to the grand
demonstration TO be held on the Fourth OF
July there will be a San Francisco Car
nival Night this evening, Tuesday, July
8. There have been received by the expo
sition management a number OF requests
asking that the public NAV have an oppor-
tunity 10 view the grand floats as they
were originally prepared for the Mardi
Gras festival. A great many visitors to the
exposition did not see the floats on that Oc-
casion, aud that is one reason why it has
been decided to have San Francisco car
nival night this evening. The floats have
been put in perfect order again, and will
be seen at the best advantage. Colonel i.
p. Robinson, the director OF entertain.
ments, will take charge of this demon stra-
tion, and Will see to il that there is no de-
lay in the start. The grand court will be
magnifcently Illuminated, and the floats
will be fully manned and handsomely or
Damented. There will be equestrian and
military features of the parade as we'll,
and grand demonstration may be conf
dently expected. AS a special feature oi
the occasion niagara Falls fireworks will
be set off around the grand court"
IL the judgment of experienced prognos-
ticators is to be trusted, an enormous
crowd will be in attendance tonight; but
. the concession aires, who are said to be the
best prophets, think that Wednesday will
bring out larger crowd than has ever
gathered on one occasion in this city be-
fore. The preparations of the Fourth OF
July committee already indicate that the
parade will be so long that the roadways
of the exposition will not contain IT. Ar
rangements are being made to have il
circle from the recreation grounds through
the grand court, around the Midway and
back 10 double column through he court
Professor Lssaman. the chief chems
of the fireworks company, announces tina
he has prepared some new colors for the
grand display of fireworks scheduled fo
the evening OF the 4ih that will astonisi
spectators the coors will be shown il
aerial effects. One of the aerial effect!
will be in flight OF liquid frerockets
