SAN DIEGO, CAL. Sept. 9.--In spite of
the fact that Stockton drew thousands OF
Native Sons from all parts of California to
her grand celebration of Admission day
there was an immense crowd in San Diego
TO attend the demonstration under the
auspices of San Diego Parlor No. los,
N. S. G. w. The day opened fresh and
cool, with brisk breeze from the Pacific
Early in the morning crowds began to
form on the principal streets long before
the time had arrived for the great parade
to start. Native Sons were conspicuous in
the crowds and later during the parade.
They wore uniforms of light tan pongee
blouses, white duck trousers, yellow
sashes, Panama hats, bright Japanese
parasols and large California poppies in
the buttonhole.
With cheering, the clatter of horses and
the shouting of captains the parade
formed at the foot of D street and
marched through the principal streets
and back to the plaza, where the long
column passed before ;he officers of the

The literary exercises at the plaza began
at IL o'clock. The Grafton was delivered
by the Hon. w. J. Hunsaker of Los An
geles, one of the many eloquent Native
Sons who have won fame in the legal pro-
fession. His address was a model Of good
taste and patriotism. President L. f.
Aubury also spoke, and was heartily
cheered. There was also short but in
teresting talk by G. II. Anderson, who
was with Comm odore Stockton at the ca D.
ture of M onterey on July Z, 1876.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon an immense
crowd of wheelmen gathered at Sixth and
streets, where the boulevard road races
around the bay to Coronado started. There
was professional and an amateur race
and an amateur, ]. f. Frazee, broke the
record and beat the best professional, w.
B. Vaughan, by five seconds. Frazee made
the twenty-three miles in 1904 80, and
Vaughan's time was 1:12:20. The finish
of the profe essionals was very exciting
They swept around the bay in splendid
style, accompanied by a special train on
the Coronado Belt line, filled with sight
seers.
At the finish w. B. Vaughan, ]. jerks
add Oscar Lane were neck and neck,
rushing down the long stretch OF beach
like a whirlwind. Just before reaching
the tape Vaughan shot ahead of his COM
petitors and won. jerks was three sec
onds later and Lane FIVE seconds.
Vaughan's younger brother was in the
amateur race and made a good run,
coming out first in place and seventh in
time. The winning amateur, ]. F.
Frazee, made the run in five seconds lees
than Emil Ulbricht, "the Flying Dutch
man." who won the race lastYear over the
same course.
While the bicycle race was in progress
yachts on the bay filled their sails and
sped down before the breeze, with the
cheers of thousands OF spectators. The
race was as pretty as anything that ever
took place on San Diego Bay, though the
wind was not strong enough during the
latter half of the regatta for fast time.
The yacht Angeline, owned by Captain
Alexander Williamson and sailed by
Captain Nat Nichols, was an easy winner
Ill the first class, and the sharpie Louise
came out ahead in her class after an ex-
citing contest.
