LANDING THE MARINES.
The Olympia and Philadelphia's
Men Make an Excellent
>. Showing.

One of the prettiest features IN connec-
tion with4be parade was the landing of
the sailors and marines from the cruisers
OLYMPIA and Philadelphia. Thousands of
peoDle were clustered about the Clay-street
steps to watch the boys IN blue come
ashore and the sight about the chief
wharfinger's office was a very pretty one.
The two big cruisers were gayly decked out
with flags and colors from the peak to the
fore their white hulls looming up clearly
and proudly in the cloudy background.
Here and there in the stream on all sides
of the warship were British and American
merchantmen with their colors flying to
the breeze in commemoration OF America s
natal day.
The Olympia remained at her moorings,
but the Philadelphia had steam up early
in the morning and came close in shore.
Shortly after o'clock everything was astir
" on the flagship and the marines began
embarking in barges for the trip ashore.
The steam launches we're pressed into SER
vice for the officers, who embarked from
the opposite side and headed the marine
procession for the shore.
After them came a company of marines,
and trailing behind these two companies
of bluejackets: The oars FLASHED in the
water with machine-like precision and the
big barges shot along like arrows.
>.-The landing at the steps was made with
oJit,a hitch and without the slightest con-
fusion. First came the launches. and the
Officers stepped nimbly from the gunwales
;. TO the float, after which the boats went
AWAY 10 the north of the float to make way
Tor the sailors and marines. The tars, in
good order, one after another, stepped
FASH 0Te:oyer the bow Of the boats.
: <Intheir wake came the gallant lads OF
*the Phladelphia-one marine guard and
five. companies of sailors. The bulkhead
! between Clay and Washington street piers
:. was fairly alive with blueIackets, and
theirYery appearance thrilled the bystand-
: erS:- whose enthusiasm found vent in
cheers.for the boys of Uncle Sam. -
First Lieutenant Dorm was in command
of the first company of sailors, while the
second company was under Lieutenant
buchanan: The marine guard, numbering
forty men, was in command OF Lieutenant
Prince.
=. CAPTAIN Reed, Medical Inspector Ayers,
and Naval Cadets William Davidson and
John Monaghan were ashore to meet the
battaliOns, and afterward Joined the pro-
<cessiOn in carriages.
The battalion was formed in front of the
chief wharfinger's office on East street, to
the enliyening strains OF National airs
from the olympia Danu- Inc tlTee com
panies from the flagship had the right of
line. Then came FIRST Lieutenant niger
souin command of the Philadelphia bat
talon followed by the marine guard of the
cruiser, forty strong, in charge of Captain
Cochrane. The five companies of blue
Jackets followed in command of Senior
officer C. H. Warlick and Junior Officer !.
H. Hoagereff. When the battalions were
formed the word of march was given, and
the sailor soldiers paraded up Washington
street to join their division.

J. .E. Bushell delivered prayer, and
Mayor J. L. Davie, president of the day,
made a happy Introductory address, as
follows:
Fellow Citizens: Patriotism, like the water
of the great ocean, GIBBS and flows 1t does not
diminish in volume; 1t does not die out or fade
away. 1t comes upon occasion, and when oc-
cason calls patriotism rises the storm
stirred waters OF the mighty deep-powerful,
resistless, overwhelming, and woe unto those
who would obstruct Its onward motion.
In times of peace. when the sword and the
bayonet have rusted and the plowshare is
bright with constant use, the tide of patriotism
hardly rises above the level of daily routine,
and life flows on with scarcely disturbing
ripple. Generations come and go; we grow
into nation of shopmen and lull our
selves into sense of security that is some
times less real than we persuade ourselves to
feel. We forget that eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty, and not until danger is upon

The fact that the committee had raised

than ordinarily fine pageant had been ar
ranged was well advertised throughout the
county and in San Francisco, and in con-
sequence, large crowds from San Leandro

vehicles of all sizes and descriptions.
The crowds in the main thoroughfares of
the city, where the pageant passed, were
dense, and sitting and standing room in
store and house windows was at pre-
MUM.
Everywhere, from the housetops, from
windows, from telegraph poles and even
from the handsome costumes of the ladies,
the breeze Haunted the National red,
white and blue.
The decorations of the main streets and
Broadway in particular were profuse, and
the latter thoroughfare from Seventh to
Fourteenth was brilliant with flags,
streamers and the gay bunting with which
the store fronts were decked. The ut

LITERARY EXERCISES.

by Miss CooIbrith.

Literary exercises were held in two
places at the one time in Oakland, as no
hall there was large enough to hold half
the crowds that were anxious to hear the
patriotic songs and speeches.
Immediately after the parade disbanded
throngs surged into the great tent at
Jackson and Twelfth streets, and presently
the Fifth Regiment band played an over
ture which began the entertainment. Rev

An Expert Contractor.

Yesterday about noon Will Condor,
who had been shoveling snow from the
sidewalks in front of his residence in
q desultory sort of way for just long
enough to get an idea how big the con-
tract was, and also to begin to think
that it was real wicked of him to do that
work and deprive some needy person of
the profits of the job, was approached
by a brawny, broad. shouldered man,
who struck him for the job.
Chow much do you want" said Will,
''to clean the whole walk?" 81 will
work for four bits an hour" said the
man. "That's too much, but I'll give
you thirty cents an hour,' was the re-
ply. And then they argued: 'Won't
work for that" ''Very well, will pay
no more" est isn't enough" sits all
I will give" And so it went, neither
labor nor capital conceding the point,
until finally the man said: "Well,
need the work, what will you give me to
do it all?" Will sized that length of
| the walk up, made mental calculation
as toehow long it had taken to clear the
little spot he had gotten away with, and
casting furtive glance out of the corner
of his left eye, said: ''I'll give you 50
for the iob.'
The man walked the whole length of
the walk, had the work all pointed out
so that there could be no dispute, and
with sigh remarked: ''Well, it amt
enough; but 1 need the money and
I'll take it, 'sSail in,'' said Will,
passing over the snow shovel, and
then he went into the house. got into his
slippers and as he warmed his feet and
settled down to solid comfort with THI

pleasure of home surroundings, anc
commiserated the other fellow who wal
filling his place behind the snow shovel
Directly he saw man with a snow
shovel on his shoulder coming to thu
door, and found his man had completed
the work. He could scarcely believe hi
eyes, but realizing the work was finishet
he stepped outside to pay the man of
