Little of Importance was accomplished
at the morning session of the Grand Parlor,
the business transacted being entirely of a
routine character, including the adoption
of the report of the committee on griev-

Both Grand Secretary Henry Lundstedt
ana Granu treasurer =. Mai III
were reelected to their respective offices
without opposition:
Then came up the big battle of the election
proceedings-the contest for the office OF
grand lecturer.
Grand Orator Eugene F. Bert of Mission

mated by Past Grand President Frank ID.
Ryan of Sacramento, and Past Grand Pres

When 1t is stated thai the various craft
participating In the UNIQUE exhibition pre-
sented a frontage of at least quarter of a
mile, and that every coign of vantage was
literally packed with spectators, some
idea can be gained of the vast multitude
1t extended for two blocks on each side
of Broadway, and the boats were so num-
erous that they filled nearly the entire
space between the band barge, which was
anchored about $50 feet from the Oakland
shore, and the Alameda harbor line.
For background the scene had the ele-
gantly Illuminated boathouse of the Cali
fornia Yacht Club, located on the Ala
media side. Its principal illumination
consisted of the letters IN. S. G. W." in
various colored electric lights on one side
of the entrance and on the other the clubs

which in turn surrounded one of blue.

California and Encinai Yacht clubs All
were hung with bunting and flags and
Illuminated with strings of Chinese Ian
terms. Nearly all had guests aboard, in
Guiding many ladies. Among the yachts
thus arrayed were the following:

Considering the short time that was al
lowed for preparation. the result was one
on which the managers certainly deserve
hearty congratulation. But, so well salts
fled was every one with their work, that it
is proposed by the California Yacht Club
to make the water carnival an event of
yearly occurrence The entire fitting and
arranging of the handsome electric light
llluminations on the boathouse of the club
was the handiwork of members.
In addition to the residents of Oakland,
Alameda and Berkeley, many visitors
from San Francisco were among the spec
tators.
To-day will see the labors of the Grand
Parlor concluded. In addition to COM
pleting the list of grand officers, there are
only reports of some of the committees to
be acted upon. Among other things, 1t is

the scene instantly caught hold of the
man with the shoes in his possession. 1t

owner. The policeman had heard that

his captive back to the shop, to be given
into custody, would suffice. The intel.
