One of the popular displays was Sanders

This division, like the seventh, repre-
scented the cattle, butchering, packing and
tanning industries. At u o'clock Marshal
Livingston signaled to his aids and COM
pany to swing into line. First came thirty
vaqueros, led by their captain, Grant Pyle,
and John O'Day, aid. Behind these was
A Mathews California State Military
Band of fifteen pieces.
Among the wagons and floats along the
line were about go butchers, uniformed in
white flannel shirts, black trousers and
white caps.
The first float to join the march was
striking in appearance. Each State In the
Union was represented by young lady,
who bore on the band of her white straw
hat the name of the State of her choice.
The ladies were arranged in a pyramid.
The lower tier was dressed in blue, the
second in white and the top in red. Seated
in the midst af the young ladies was the
Goddess of Liberty, personated by Miss
Mamie Regain. Over her head was an
small canopy of the National colors.
The huge float was decorated from the top
to the ground, and ii was drawn by six
large black horses belonging to Miller d.
Lux.
Following this was another of Miller &
Lux's wagons drawn by four bays. The
large canopy sheltered fifteen pretty little
girls dressed in white. a second decorated
wagon contained the same number of little
girls.
An artistic float of pastoral character
dropped into line. A large pen, sheltered
by canopy was filed with fine display
of sheep, lambs, shepherd dog and four
Young ladies with crooks. This was pro-
duction by Miller & Lux.
Probably the most favored wagon for a
time was a one-horse vehicle called the
commissary wagon. 1t was filled with
sandwiches when it started, but the load
was very light before three blocks were
covered.
Two large decorated four-horse wagons,
carrying sixteen young girls each, fol-
lowed
Nearly fifty pupils of the Horace Mann
School came next. The first load was in a
large wagon drawn by eight gray horses,
belonging to A. W. Shrader. The second
was a canopied vehicle drawn by Horn Il
y
the third load was behind four sorrels by
the latter owner. H. Moffatt Henry Levy
and James Halls large wagons carried
nearly all the girls of the South San Fran
cisco Primary School.
One of the most striking floats was the
one arranged by Jacob Schoenfeld. Gath
cred under a tri-colored canopy and clus-
tering around well-known local monu-
ment were twenty young ladies OF the
James Lick School. Ethel Farley presided
over the young beauties as the Goddess OF
Liberty. Irving Johnson had his face
covered with a black beard and gave very
faithful personation of the founder Of the
school.
James McDermotts employees turned
out in an artistically decorated wagon. j.,
In an open wagon }. u. Johnson carried
bevy of little girls in white, who waved
their flags and sang patriotic songs.
S. Silverberg varied the features by load
ing his wagon with school boys, who
yelled with glee.
One of the most striking floats in the di-
vision was huge decorated platform on
which John Dibble, the blacksmith, had
placed miniature blacksmith shop with
forge, anvils, workmen, etc. Dibble's little
daughter LYDIA presided as the queen OF
the shop.
Poly, Hebron & Co. presented two at
tractive features. The first was a float
representing the beef industry from the
farmer to the consumer, with the inter-
mediates of vaqueros, butchers, trainmen
and packers. The second was a big STALL
fed beef, fat and ready for the knife.
Like the two preceding, this division
was principally devoted to the butchering
industries. E. P. Clay burgh was the mar
shall, and his aids were W. 7. Siever and
Louis Katz. These officers led Zetts'
Band, which was followed by over 100
butchers in blue shirts, blue caps and black
trousers. Roth IL Blum's attraction was
entitled the "Great American Hog" The
porker in question was hog only in name.
The body was covered with blue and white
flowers from the tip of the tail to the end
of the snout, and it was apparently de-
vouring bouquets from floral trough under
a floral canopy.
Bayle & Lacoste' four large gravs drew a
varl colored float in which were about
two dozen girls from several schools.
George Wagner & Co.'s float carried a
similar load of laughing and noisy school
girls.
The South San Francisco Packing and
Provision Company made feature in pre-
senting its specialties. One wagon was
loaded with provisions, in another, upon
float, was hung the largest ham ever
placed in canvas. 1t weighed 200 pounds,
and was cut from 400 porker. G.
Nonnenmann was in charge of these dis
plays.
