we'll and Aid G. e. Edwards. The
Encinal band headed the division,
and Stockton Drill Corps, escorted by the
Young Mems Republican Drill Corps of
Oakland, followed.
The Stockton club brought an efficient
drum corps with them. The club was
uniformed in blue jackets with white
braid trimming, blue and white caps
and white trousers. They carried Ameri-
can flags, and under the direction of Cap
tain P. Nj. Duffy and First Lieutenant
Giovenessi executed many difficult ma
neuvers with the precision of veterans.
The Young Mems Republican League
Drill Corps suffered none by com mparison
with their fine-looking guests. The Oak

money" was lifted aloft from their ranks.
Then cam. 800 citizens of Alameda. They
were representatives. of the California Oil
Company, the Pacific Borax Works and

The Fourth and Sixth wards Republi-
can Club of Oakland, under Major Frank

the head of a column of fifty employees of
that institution, which represented the
paint and oil industry. There were fuliy
so men in the ranks of the real estate and
landowners section, at the head of which
marched Messrs. Umbsen, Rich and
Easton.
The electrical workers presented a very
unique sight. The Edison company's en-
ployes, 200 strong, were under the direc.
tion of F. A. Nippert. The General Elec-
trical Company was equally as strong: all
carried red, white and blue electric Iamns
attached to the end of their flag sticks. In
the middle OF the ranks was a banner on
which was the statement: "Electricitv is
progress, but not without sound money ,,
The wholesale druggists also presented

NINTH DIVISION.

= ONG was the line and many were
the men who made up the ninth
division. So great was the column, /,
which represented mainly the green,
dried and canned-fruit industries
and the produce and commission busi-
ness, that Marshal A. D. Cutler and his
chief aid, T.. S. Taylor, were obliged to
appoint many subordinate officers and cut
the line up into sections over which the
officers had charge. Their arrangement
was in this order: Aids-J. McDonogh
Jr., Paul Barbieri, Walter E. Beck, George
Renner and J. A. Code. Captains-First,
Jerome Porter; second, II. U. Jaudin
third, R. A. Holcombe; fourth, C. B..
Hollywood; fifth, NJ. Loewenstein; sixth,
G. G. Gilbert; seventh, n. Kittle; eighth
James NJ. Hobbs; ninth, N. Wright;
tenth. II. L. Burlerson. Guides-G. A..
Pope and +. L.. Himer. Bugler-R c..
Delemeter. Roncovleri's Band. Drum
Corps.
The numerical strength of the paraders
in the order of their calling was as follows:
Dried fruit 264, canned fruit 19S green
fruit 314, bag men 11S. commission men
l46 produce men 137. fruit brokers %,
fruit press 5. Total, 1904
All of the men wore yellow bands on
their hats and the National flags were of
tin, American tin at that, which ratified
merrily whenever shaken. Many wore
dried peaches pinned on their badges.
Not few small horns were in the line and
with the flags and horns it was a noisy
division. Following the footmen were at
least dozen trucks piled high with bags
and the IS tl,o
and displaying such inscriptions as "This
is not a cut and dried affair, it is a
battle" by their fruits shall ye judge

dustrles. The hardware, stove and metal
employees came after the officers and a
drum corps. Each carried flag and wore
badges. Around the hat of each man was
a broad yellow band. The body OF men
alone filled the entire street and it was
necessary to send the floats down Howard
street for lack of room. When the floats
swung into their places the shouts of the
crowd were deafening. Mounted upon q
large double truck was large gasoline
launch, with an enthusiastic crew and an
engineer, who responded to the cheers by
blast upon the whistle. The vehicle
and its marine burden were drawn by 100
horses, four abreast. The launch was
built for Guatemala. Back of this was
smaller gasoline launch constructed by
the San Francisco bodybuilding Com
pany. The two boats and the teams oc-
cupied two-thirus of a block Each was
gayly decorated with flags, bunting, etc.,
and the 120 men who bestrode the horses
carried the flag of the country.

several huge wine casks on draws, with
appropriate notices, followed one after
another. One over twenty feet high was
stood on end and filled by the employees of
David Woener. Over this was placed a.
large canopy of red, white and blue. The
Swiss-Italian colony's float was equally
striking, the decorations being made up
largely of grapevines and grapes. One OF
the most attractive was the the float of the
California Wine Association, which con-
tanned on an elevated platform all of the
principal apparatus of wine cellar. AT
the rear was representation of the great
seal of California-bear, miner and god
des The latter was represented by MISS
Sadie Langdon, very pretty brunette
who was attired in rich yellow drapery.
After the wine brigade came the coopers
of the California Wine Association, whose
banner set forth that they want sound
money.

opening ahead they marched IRE pressibly
In before the drivers of the six-horse
teams could get into motion. And that
is why the Plumed Knights headed the
seventeenth division ana the Mckinley
Invineibles had to be content with place
behind the handsome drill corps whose
name suggests inspiring memories.
The Knights looked their prettiest yes
terday. They had seventy five men in
line under command of Captain j. e.
Kline and Lieutenants James Christie and
E. E. Parmerlee. Their uniforms con-
sisted of black velvet caps, yellow lined
and decorated with gold stars. They
wore yellow caps and black legglns. The
big float of the Union League Club fol-
lowed. On one side was inscribed, t'The
Union League Club is for Sound Money
and Protection" On the other were the
words, "a Double-ender, Bill Mckinley
and Mckinley Bill"
The Union League Club turned out 500
men. They were under the command of
d. e. Miles and carried American flags
and immense chrysanthemums.
The Mckinley Invincib!es had In line

were the California and Knickerbocker
quartets. They occupied large coach
decorated with yellow and bearing the
legend on it's sides: "We think it better to
open the mills to labor than to open the
mints to the silver of the world" Then
came the Invincibles in carriages.
This division was taken care of by R. r.
Russ, marshal, and aids, H. B. Masters,
General Freidenrich, d. E. Miles, Vaughn
Morgan and James McQuade.
