bratjon grand success. The exercises OF
the celebration will all be strongly Ameri-
can in character, but so Spanish in inter-
probation that it is hard to tell where one
ends and the other begins.
All of ths building in Monterey are
decorated with American bunting, but so
arranged as to produce the architectural
effects of old Spain. Many of these deco
rations are highly artistic, and could some
of the old dons visit the scene they would
feel that they were thoroughly at home.
To-day has been q busy one for all who
will take part in the celebration, from Ad-
miral Beardsee to the smallest girl in the
Living Flag" The people of the town
were awakened by the strains of martial
music from the bands Of the two warships
out on the glistening blue waters of the
bay and in the two companies of artillery
in camp back of the Hotel del Monte. 1t
was sound uncommon here, but none
the less welcome, and in short time
everybody was awake and eager to prac-
tioe their part in the big celebration.
The military and naval men spent the
long hours of the day in drills and exer-
cises, so as to be ready for the ceremonies
OF the Fourth OF July, while the citizens
worked hard at decorating and preparing
their houses TO receive the large number
of visitors expected.
The principal feature of the celebration
will be the Living Flag" which will be
composed of about 200 young ladies dressed
in red, white and blue, who will march in
such order as TO produce an exact repre-
sehtation of the stars and stripes.
This feature of the celebration has been
in charge of Hon. S. J. Duckworth and a.
W. Jones. To-day rehearsal was held in
the opera-house and the young ladies went
through the intricate movements of the
exercise with the utmost precision and
formed as beautiful q picture rs one could
want 10 see.
Part of the programme will consist of
singing the three National songs, Amer
lea, Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean"
and THE Star-spangled Banner" After
the rehearsal in the hall the entire COM
pany of young ladies marched down the
street to the grand stand and went through
the same eyolutions they viii on the
Fourth and seventh. There was not
hitch anywhere and everything was so
carefully studied that there can be no
doubt but the living flag will cover itself
with glory when the time comes.
