and il is celebrated in unique manner IN
this section In every Mexican settlement
in California there is one house dlstin-
guished from all Others OF the nelgnpor-
hood bv two fagpoles in the front yard
They remain bare and attract no attention
until the evening of the celebration, wheh
the stars and stripesAnd the nationai en-
blem of Mexico are run up on thelr respec-
tive fiagpoles by the first and second nag
men. who have been duly elected by the
guests for that honor. This rancho Is the
beadouarters of the neighborhood, and here
all the public festivities take place The
ranchhouse has grand sala capable of &C
commodating about 80 couples. This sala
has benches ragged round the wall for the

the hour that the conspirators, headed by
Father Guadalupe Hidalgo y Castillo, the

artillery or anyils, music from the band
and "hurrahs" from everybody. The don
and his wife, attired in state, enter the
grand sala to greet their guests anew and
to inform them officially that the celebra-
ton is about to begin. The don and his
wife head the procession, and all march
out upon the piazza, when the don shouts,

guests, tells them what they came for.
