SANTA CRUZ, CAL, May 22.-The peo-
pie OF East Santa Cruz held an enthusi-
astic meeting this evening at Buckley's s
Hall. Besides the residents of that por-
tion of the city, there was large delega-
ton from Eastcliff and Seabright, who are
as enthusiastic as the people of Santa
Cruz. The report of the committee on
floats was especially full and satisfactory,
and from these people some of the finest
floats in the procession will come. The
residents of Eastcliff and Seabright will
also furnish two floats for the procession.
The people of these thriving suburbs are
booming carni' al matters, and are giving
entertainments to raise funds, the pro-
ceeds to be used in decorating along the
cliff above the mouth of the river.
British residents will play cricket
match at the Athletic Park at Vue de rEau
on Friday afternoon-the Queens birth
day. 1t will be for the benefit of the carni-
val. This will be the first game of cricket
ever played in this city, and it promises to
be hard fought match. These eleyens
will play during the season, and challenge
other teams throughout the State.
The Odd Fellows have appointed COM
mittee to arrange for float, and the For
esters promise to have an original idea in
the pageant.
1t has been proposed that the carnival
should open in the form of masquerade
that the Merchants Association and resi-
dents unite and march to the City Hall
take possession and appoint new. officers,
who should subsequently surrender to
the Queen of the Carnival. As the fair
pavilion will not be large enough it is the
intention to build a new pavilion. A plan
has been submitted for structure 150x150
feet ir dimensions, with floor and sides of
lumber and a canvas roof A special COM
mlttee was appointed to take this matter
in hand and act in conjunction with the
building committee.
All of the yellow bunting in San Fran
cisco has been purchased by local mer-
chants. The street decorations, without a
doubt, will exceed anything ever attempted
in that line.
A number of prominent citizens of San
Francisco are down this evening viewing
carnival preparations, and attended the
meeting this evening.
The Supervisors have been requested to
clear the courthouse lot, plant trees, tenn
porarily. and furnish it with seats, all in
time for the carnival If DONE it will make
a delightful resting-place. The work on
the bicycle track, which is to be thirty feet
wide, was commenced to-day at the
Athletic Park. The flowers for use at
headquarters continue to come in, and the
beautiful decorations are renewed each
day. The school children especially are
taking an interest and carrying beautiful
bouquets to the headquarters.
PerilOus Adremttre of a San Jose PARTY
in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, May 22.-An acci.
dent occurred last evening in the noun
tains fourteen miles from here that might
have resulted much more seriously than il
did. Mr.. and Mrs. William B. Proctor and
their infant child were driving to this CITY
from San Jose, and in the darkness drove
into washout in the road, and the horse
and buggy and its occupants went over the
grade.
The Proctors fell fifteen feet, while the
horse and buggy stopped fully fifty feet
further down the grade. Mrs. Proctor re
ceived a cut on her cheek, while Mr.. Proc
tor was injured in the hip and one of hi:
ribs was broken. With the assistance o.
residents in the vicinity the horse and
buggy were put on the road again, and
strange to say, with the exception of few
scratches the horse was unhurt. The Proc
tors remained over night in the mountains
at farmhouse and were driven to this city
to-day.
