Benediction
The chief interest here and all over the
State IS centered in the water carnival, to
be held on McLeods Lake. Many thou
sands will come for the purpose of viewing
this spectacle and remain TO see the city
that has secured three railroads in as many
months. The half-rate fares offered e1cur-
sionists to Stockton on the 4th will in
duce many to come who intend to combine
business with pleasure and take look over
the most enterprising city on the Pacific
Coast to-day.

Bender and Chairman McNoble of the
carnival committee, ably assisted by Mes

natural advantages for such demonstra-

effect was surprisingly beautiful.
Joseph G. Eastland of San Francisco, the
president of the Electric Light Company,
and one who has great faith in Stockton's
future, is here to see that the electrical dis
play is a good one, and he is greatly
pleased with the work being done by
Henry Adams, the superintendent of the
company. Besides this array of lights an
electric fountain has been designed and
prepared by Ed Haas, a bright young civil
engineer; and one of the city's old fire
engines has been secured to pump the
water for this fountain
The barge of the Carnival Queen will
lead the procession to the lake, followed

an arch by running lines of lights from one

floats will pass.
The parade will circle the lake and then
come up its center to the landing place of
the Queen. Here an address will be de-
livered by the Queens prime minister,
