taken into consideration the fight we had on

at its conclusion he was roundly cheered.
He began his remarks with a compli-

have tried to protect ourselves" Continu-
ing he said:
A few years ago a small party of men came
from Chicago and had themselves interviewed
by the newspapers They said they had come
here to do all the butcher business OF the
Pacific Coast. They said we had to buy their
meat or go out of business, and that the sooner
we began to buy it the better for US. We did not
agree with them, and thought that our system
was the better. For that reason we fought
them and have continued to fight them, and
for the same reason we will fight to the end.
These Chicago men announced that they d1d
not want butchers and did not need them.
They said they wanted dealers, and threatened
that if they did not get them they would cut

sell them atruinous prices that the local dealers
could not follow, force the local dealers out of
business or compel them to handle the new
process meats. In many cases the old-timers
were forced to become employees of the new
arrivals. This much accomplished. the prices
would be raised and the public would have to
submit.
But in this they were disappointed. There is
no denying the fact that they succeeded in
alarming us greatly. Our first thought was
that there would be no use in trying to oppose
them, but then We began to think that their
success meant the ruin of every one connected
with the business of killing and selling meats.
1t meant also the ruin of many other indus
tries dependent upon this business. There is
the sausage-making, the curing of tripe,
calves heads and feet, tanning and the man
ufacture OF neatsfoot OIL Besides these in
dustries there are the five or six thousand en-
ployes who We're making good wages any
where from $50 to 800 a month. When we
saw the ruin that would follow our downfall
we felt that something must be done to pre-
serve our business.

called into existence by circumstances which
threatened to ruin the whole meat industry of
the coast. refer TO the advent here of Swift,
Morris, Armour & Co., who sought to control
here, as they already do in the Eastern States,
the Pacific Coast trade. On opening their
abattoirs, however, they found several matters
that they had not given due consideration, and
which interfered materially with their plans.
In the first place the climate, with its cool
dry winds, caused their goods as soon as they
were exposed to sweat.
The newcomers sold at very low prices in
order to introduce their goods, and for while
they received large patronage. At last, and
it was not such a very long time, the public
began 20 discriminate between the two
methods of preservation. The artificial methods
did not suit the people, because the meats are
not as firm and have not the flavor of meats
that had been killed and handled by the sys-
tenn adopted by the old dealers along the
coast, which is by hanging in the open air after
killing. They agreed with us that the latter
method is the best and gives better and
healthier meat.
Another feature which the newcomers seem
to have overlooked and to have never expert
enced is the class of people with whom they
had to contend. 1t had been their custom to
go to place, put their goods on the market,

McMENOMY LEADS THE PARADE
a Grand Procession in Which Visit
ors From Surrounding Towns
Participate.

The second annual celebration of Butch
ers' day, held yesterday at Shell Mound
Park under the auspices of the Butchers
Board of Trade, was a grand success.
More than 1900 people Joined in the fes-
tivities, and the railroad company, which
had prepared for the occasion only 10000
tickets, started the printing presses to
turning out additional bits of pasteboard
early in the day. Even then the supply
was not equal to the demand and the cor
poration was at last forced to adopt the
expedient of reissuing tickets which had
done service on the occasion of picnic at
Shell Mound some weeks before.
Butchers were present from Stockton,
Sacramento and other distant points. San
Jose sent delegation of fourteen, includ-
ing Messrs. Langford and Gaspalou George
Garland...C. T. Toney, E. Williston, Henry
Dulion, E. G. Cleal, William Jones,
Charles Miller, Charles Krouse, Benjamin
Gallagher, Eugene Coopers, J. w. Borchers
and ]. Donnelly.
Grand Marshal Captain ]. III. McMen-
omy. who commanded the parade, dis
charged the duties of his position with ex-
ceptional ability. The celebration had for
him double significance, since yesterday
was the hfty-fourth anniversary of his
birth. A noticeable feature of the parade
was four-in-hand of Normans, supplied
by. Mr.. Hurst from the Green Valley
stables. Two other four-in-hands from the
same stable also occupied prominent posi-
tions in the parade.
Across the bay nothing happened to mar
the days enjoyment save the accident by
which young Halloween lost his arm.
The drawing for butchers cart, donated
by the B. Graves Company, was held at 5
o'clock. Tickets equal in number to the
membership of the Butchers Board of
Trade were placed in hat and it was
agreed that the winning number should be
that of the tentn ticket drawn. The lucky
bit of pasteboard bore the number 3S, and
the cart was awarded to James Crummie in
consequence. The vehicle is valued at $S5.
The parade was one OF the finest displays
that has ever been made in San Francisco.
Its five divisions spread over many blocks
and included hundreds of men mounted
and unmounted and nearly an equal num-
Der in carriages. The advertised hour of
starting was o'clock, but it was long past
that hour before the procession was fairly
under Way

gan ID assemble at the Alcazar building, on
OFarre1 street, and soon that block was
crowded with promiscuous mass of men
and horses. The skillful efforts of Grand
Marshal McMenomy soon, however,
brought order out of confusion and the pro-
ces~ion got away in good form. The line
OF march was along Stockton street to
Market, on Market to Sixth, counter
marching on Market to Kearny, thence to
California, and along that thoroughfare to
the ferry. Throughout the line of march
the streets were crowded and the side.
walks lined with spectators.

charger, led the column He was sup

In carriages and the members of the board
on foot.
The second division was headed bv
assistant marshals and two aids. They
were followed by the Second Artillery
band and the members of the Deutsche
Metzger Verein-the German butchers
organization.
The third division was led by Won der
Menuen panQ, ana IN 1t marched the
members of the Butchers Protective
Association. The men wore butchers
aprons decorated with small embroidered
American flags.
The fourth division was composed of
butchers from Oakland and Alameda, who
wore long aprons and carried Japanese
parasols. In their ranks was a large
number of boys who wore the white
insignia of their fathers occupations
The Fifth Regiment band of Oakland led
this division.
The fifth and last section of the parade
consisted largely of crack riders from
among the vagueros of Butchertown.
They rode two abreast, and there were
nearly hundred in line. The rest of the
division was made up of long lines of car
riages in which rode guests, members OF
the trade, from San Jose, Stockton and
Sacramento.
At the ferry the crush was enormous.
but little patient waiting served to pack
the Piedmont with the largest crowd oi
passengers 1T ever carried on weekday.

been provided. These were quickly loaded
but, though men and women occupied
every conceivable space and chung pre-.
