CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.
kindergarten Children Celebrate
Appropriately at Emma Hall.

Appropriately at Emma Hall.
Yesterday was a happy one for the
children Of the Kindergartens of the
city, for they had their Christmas ceIe-
bration on the lawn of Emma Hall and
did things calculated TO brighten their
little hearts for many days to come.
Every kindergarten in the city had
been given an invitation to attend the
closing exercises which took the form
of a Christmas celebration, and there
were not many who failed TO put in
an appearance. In all, there must have
been some 200 children present.
The Christmas tree fixed up in reg
ular Hawaiian style, was laden with
paper leis, cornucopias, busters and
dolls of rope, wash clothes and other
articles made by the children of the
Kindergarten Association. In turn
they took their presents from the tree.
but these were not for themselves.
They took them from the tree for pre-
sentation to their mothers as Christ
mas presents.
u LuuSlC ny teachers VI the hIuuSI-
gartens, the children danced about and
sang, all the while showing by the ex-
preston of their faces the happy time
they were having. The Japanese sang
in their own language, and in their
own costume, while the Hawaiians pre-
sented themselves with leis. In the
dance, which all the children took part,
the Japanese found their wooden shoes
too much to manage, and threw them
off, entering into the festivities on an
equal footing with the rest.
! Miss Buckley, with some 50 of her
children from Palama, were noticed.
Among those present were Prof. and
Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. A. F. Judd, Miss
Helen Judd, Miss Agnes Judd, Mrs.
Shimamura, Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Laws,
Mrs. w. F. Allen, Prof. and Mrs. Hos
mer, teachers of Punahou and officers
of the kindergarten Association.

white, set off by American flags and by
the rich orange tints of countless esch-
scholtZias.
The head of the parade presented a
charming picture of prancing, spirited
horses, but the last feature was not less
impressive. The whole local council,
Y. NJ. l., came along four abreast, occupy
ing the breadth of the street. Each man
wore white straw hat and carried fancy
japanese parasol, under which smiling
countenance proclaimed a local pride
heightened by conscious success.

AT noon and again in the evening the
ladies' OF the Presbyterian, the Congrega-

each place by attractive young ladies as

was on the streets also to swell the well
come and to contribute to the general
hilarity, for Haywards felt that she was
honored by the presence of the finest body
of young men that had ever stepped
within her orchard gates. They represented
the youth, the enterprise, the intelligence
and the progress of all parts of the State,
and each division, as 1t marched through
the principal streets amid the applause
from the crowds on the sidewalks, made
a splendid showing of the section of the
State from which il hailed.
The rising generation of San Francisco
was represented by two companies, a OF

League of the Cross Cadets, the forme
company acting as escort to the grand del
egates and the latter to Council No. 81 of

Haywards, ever noted for its hospitality,
maintained its reputation IN that regard
to-day. CHIEF of Police Ramage and a
mounted platoon headed the parade. The
Board of Trustees of the city also turned
out to do honor to the occasion and the

A GREAT SPECTACLE,
The Parade Was One OF the
Finest Ever Seen In
HaywardS.

HAYWARDS, CAL, May 20.-The his
tory OF people or of town may be con-
sidered as divided into stages, marked off
by distinctive events that must ever stand
out hguratively, as mlleposts set along a
new-formed roadway, never to be retrav-
eled, but ever to be looked back upon as
an incentive to even better achievements.
To-day Haywards reached climax in her
history, and began new era to be dated
from great concourse of people gathered
IN solid masses along her sidewalks to wit
ness the spectacle of a procession that,
with all it's features, constituted such a
brilliant sight as is seldom seen, except
when the conditions of great city make
elaborate spectac ular displays less diff.
cult to produce.
When the Native Sons Hall was dedi-
Gated on the Fourth of July five years ago,
everything combined to attract hundreds
upon hundreds of persons to this pretty
town OF homes nesting among fruit trees.
But to-day when the Grand Council of the
I. M. l., united with organizations from
nelghboring and from distant towns.
marched with eager step and glad hearts
through the streets, that other celebration
became only an event in the DAYS gone by.
for 1t can no longer hold the first place as
a local pride to those who recall what has
been. That imaginary crown that graced
the brow of the N. S. q. w. personified is
now among the jewels gathered by another
fraternal order of young men, one the
chief motive of which is religion coupled
with State pride and patriotism.
There were 5000 people lined several
deep along the main streets-pretty girls
In summer dress, matrons, men and small
boys. Abouve their heads and stretching
along over the walls of compact humani-
ty were the fantastic decorations lavished
upon the low business buildings until the
scene resembled, in general, something as

a scenic artist unfaithful to nature. For.
excepting the lazy movement of hundreds

avenues separating the two parallel rows
of expectant faces. there was at first no
active life in the picture.
Suddenly, however, all was animation
as the two columns instinctively swayed
forward with a common impulse. Every
face was turned upon a cavalcade of black
horses rounding corner some distance
down the line. Conspicuous at the fore
was single white charger, lightly pranc-
ing and Indifferent to the weight of his
rider. On they came, heading an ever
increasing procession, down upon which
10000 eyes looked and saw the rythmical
pulsation of men marching in regular order
made possible by martial music.
Here and there down the approaching
column particular features caught the eye
and heightened the eagerness for nearer
view. Cross EN- blaZoned banners carried
aloft suggested the historic marches to
the Crusades, but the emblem that never
changes through changing time was sur
rounded by tokens of century far ad-
vanced beyond medieval ideals.
A fire brigade, Haywards' pride, stood
out wildly because of the gay contrast it
formed 10 the more somber tones of what
came before.
Red-shirted men drawing a hose-cart
that appeared only as pretty ornament
to exempllfy artistic and decorative skill
in display of bunting and flowers; a
loug hook and ladder wagon drawn by two
white horses and also effectively clothed
in holiday garb-these were the features
of the procession.
But wait; there is a more eager stir-a
murmur of approving voices. The crown
ing glory of the day is rounding the cor
ner and it Is tacitly awarded the prize.
High over the heads of the approaching
column and apparently floating gently
along comes the barge of state with its
load of Native Daughters.
California, all in white, sits queen on
high, under the broad canopy of a giant
oriental parasol, and surrounding her,
seated upon steps rising TO the throne, are
charming girls, each coquettishly holding

of the art of good-fellowsbip held undis-
puted sway.
Company c, League of the Cross, showed
that there were no barnacles in its make
up when it gave an exhibition drill in the
afternoon, which was witnessed by very
large crowd of interested and delighted
spectators. An hour later the doors of
n. S. G. w. Hall were thrown open to the
young men and young women for dance,
and it is almost needless to mention that
the pretty girls of Haywards availed them
selves of the opportunity of whirling in
the fascinating maZes OF the waltz.
At night there was short session of the
institute, followed by high jinks later on.
The jnks were high, indeed, the enter
tainment being of tirst-class quality.
Something must be said about the per-
sonnet of the visitors. They represented
all the walks of life and comprised mechan-
les, artisans, lawyers, judges, teachers and
writer's. That they represented what was
high and good in the communities whence
they came was apparent in the gentle
manly manner in which they deported
themselves. There was not from the be-
ginning of the visit up to closing time to-
night a single incident of unpleasantness
Sheltered from harsh winds by the low
foothills of the coast range, Haywards is a
calm and warm belt to itself. The sunny
south is not more sunny, the citrus lands
of Riverside and San Diego are no more
delightfully."- warm than Haywards is to-
night. While the young moon is riding
on feeting wrack of clouds the streets of
Haywards blaze with electric lamps and
the warm air is resonant with harmonious
song. Cadets seated in a semicircle in front

HAYWARDS, CAL, May 2O.-After the
institute session this evening the delegates
held high iinks in Native Sons Hall. The
building was covered with flags, bunting
and evergreens and the large hall in the
interior was decorated in a similar man
ner. Most royal was the spread and 1t
was done justice to, but the feast of fun
and the flow of wit and song that followed
were the most enjoyable features of all.
The links were opened with an overture
by the Oakland Concert band, after which
Frank B. Hoosan, the Haywards agent

The jolly and witty leader of the San

green hills that overlook Coronado to the
green hills of Haywards one of the most
popular institutions of that part of the
citrus belt, which lies next to the sound
ing sea, namely, pretzel club. A genu-

it is not allowed to be worn outside of the
coat until after II P NJ, the hour at which
pretzels are usually washed down with
