given. The band played TO the multitude,
as reminder of heVeteran Volunteers,
that very Trilbyfied old ditty, Ben Bolt,
the red sashed marshal gave the order to
march, and away they all swung, tiremen,
Sons of the Revolution, floats and officials.
The fifth division was composed entirely
of Native Sons and Daughters OF the
Golden West, and what was lacking in
numbers was made up in show and effect.
The ladies in particular made a pretty
showing in dress and decorations.
Twenty-one parlors were represented in
all, of which eight were Native Daughters.
Frank w, Marston was the marshal in
charge of this division. and his aids were
J. 0. Gantner (chief), Thomas A. Lane, a.
7. Barnett and \. Nathan.
The Natives were disappointed consid-
erably by the lack of attendance of the
order. and not few of the members ex-
pressed their disapprovaI at the action of
the dereliCts. Their band also failed to
put in an appearance, and the Preclta
band was put at the head of the line be-
hind the Alcalde Drill Corps. The Precita
band was a feature of the turnout of the
Native Sons. 1t consisted of the little
musicians from the Hebrew Orphan Asy
.lum who range in age from 8 TO Is years.
They marched under the leadership of
H. Mauser, Superintendent of the asylum.
The boys were little, but they could play
yankee Doodle with any of them, and
they were cheered all along the line.
The. ladies rode in carriages and We'd
with each other in their display. In Alta
Parlor the vehicles were festooned with
smilaX and sweetpeas, acacia vines being
intertwined in the wheels. Orc Elmo Par
,lor splurged in blue and COLDS. Wreaths
of red, white and blue hung about the
carriages, and the horses were gayiy capari-
soned with the parlor's colors. Each
lady carried a parasol of gold crinkle
crepe tissue, surmounted by ribbon OF
blue, making the effect a very striking
one The coIors of Orinda parlor were
pink and green, which were visible in the
carriages and the costumes of the ladies'.
Yosemite ParIOr, the baby Darlor of the
order, showed up prettily in bright yellow.
All the ladies were gowned in the color
and carried parasols to match their gowns,
while yellow covered their hacks and
horses.
The Alcalde Drill Corps, while not very
strong in numbers, made up for the
deficiency in appearance. Stanford Parlor
was represented by nine members, who
had wGScarriages and case of champagne.
Those in the carriages were d. c. Martin,
DR.. 7. H. Stice, H. J. Angelo, D. H. Curtin,
a. Trautvetter, w. II. Brown, G. d.
Steiger, E. J. Casey and President w. II.
Hilderbrand.
Marshal A. Jay Washburne headed the
sixth division, having for his aids W. +.
Irving, chief; F. C. Wyckoff. w. S. Wood
and J. II. Hilton. The division was made
up of the Junior Order of American
Mechanics, Daughters of Liberty and the
Patriotic American Citizens.
Behind the Liberty band marched the
Abraham Lincoln Council No. 2, preceded
by two silken American flags. Then fol-
lowed L. S. Grant Council No. 10, with
banner and two ensigns at its head. Gar
field Council preceded an immense float of
the little red schoolhouse. The latter was
a primitive peaked-roOf structure of Eye
olden times" In the foreground were a
number of little schoolboys and girls with
the schOolmaster in their midst. On the
facade of the house were the words Dis
trict School"
Next in line were California Council No.
l, Martha Washington Council No. and
the Daughters Of Liberty. The ladies &C.
cupied two large drays bedecked with flags
and bunting and carried pampas plumes.
The pampas plumes we're feature of the
division, every man and woman carrying
one, and as the division marched up Mar
ket street the effect of the waving tips of
red, white and blue was striking and
pretty.
The Patriotic American Citizens brought
up the rear of the division escorting floats
representing Liberty BelP' and signing
the Declaration of Independence" The
former float represented the big bell in a
crude belfry, the supports OF which were
interviewer with ivy. The truck bearing
the bell was almost concealed from view
by the flags and colors which covered it.
Miss Emily Hoffman,, a handsome
young lady, represented Columbia" Her
neither limbs were covered with silver
bangles surmounted by a skirt fringed
with gold bullion and dotted with en-
broidery and gold bangles. She wore a
white waist of loose material, while slung
across her shoulders was mantle of red,
and helmet of gold adorned her. shapely
head. On the platform were A. Peterson
and w. H. Jackson, Continental soldiers,
r. Rainier bell ringer, and Arnold Hasse, a
bell boy. Captain Spear and party &C.
cupied victoria, out of which was stuck a
long mast from which the stars and stripes
were flung to the breeze. The heel of the
mast was attached to the bottom of the
vehicle by a hinge, and the colors were
