SAN JOSE, CAL, May THE reign OF
the Carnival Queen continued to-day in
regal splendor, with the people of her
domain doing homage. Butterflies in the
sunshine were not a whit happier than
they, and evidently the brightness and
warmth of summer had much inspiration
for the merrymakers. All clouds had
faded from the Yelkin. and the hot air
was a carnival of itself. The sun was even
brighter than on the wonderful day of
Queen Lillian's triumphal entry into the
city, and with this new brightness there
was more of the dazzle and glitter of car
Dival in the decorations, the streets, the
ensemble of fiowery vehicles and
crowds of holiday visitors. The ladies
appeared in summery costumes. every
BODY displayed flowers and everybody was
out of doors. AS on the flower day, busi-
ness was mere incidental matter, so the
carnival abated little.
Queen Lillian drove out in flower-cov-
cred barouche drawn by white horses that
were harnessed in white and spread over
with white netting. She wore an exquisite
gown of light silk, as did her maids of
honor, and all reclined on skins of Polar
bears beneath white parasols. Her Ma
iesty's maids in waiting, some of the fair
est of San Jose's daughters. followed in a
four-in-hand carriage drawn by black
steeds decorated with yellow ribbons.
Their carriage was beautiful with yellow
satin and evergreens, which contrasted
effectively with the pale costumes of the
occupants. Wherever they went they re-
ceived fattering recognition and fire.
quontly cheers for Queen Lillian.
Early in the afternoon her Majesty went
to Agricultural Park on the Alameda.
The street was even then mass of gay peo-
pie all moving out OF town in the same direc-
tion as the regal party. Street cars in pro-
cession rolled out cautiously and wheelmen
jostled with aristocratic fours-in-hand that
had to wear su bdued manners in presence
of long lines of buses, family carriages
and country traps. A great crowd was fol-
lowing the Queen, though it was hard to
say whether she was in the lead or in the
middle.
And by way of variety the United Sta tes
cavalry dropped into line and rode to the
polo game in the park.
When the game began there were fully
5000 persons in the grand stand, large
numbers of visitors from Burlingame and
San Francisco in the clubhouse and a
whole field full of people. In all about
10000 or II, 600 were there. The game was
one that excited much interest, for Bur
lngame was pitted against Riverside. The
Burlingame players wore pink shirts and
blue sashes, and their competitors were
easily distinguished by white shirts and
red and black sashes. W. McCreery. c. A.

ton.
The third division will present an en-
tirely different order of fun. As FRIDAY is
Stanford day, and as the university lies
within the county, the students will re-
main over Saturday and take part in the
burlesque. They have their own ideas
and are keeping them dark, and that only
whets expectation. Besides them the Ma
tive Sons, the San Jose Hussars and 1900
or 1000 wheelmen will appear with all
their ingenuity exhausted to produce
bizarre effects. At least 1000 cyclers are
expected from San Francisco, and there
will likely be double that number. AS all
will be in mask, and as each Sill be free to
design his own effects, we may expect a
marvellous result.
The procession, it may be inferred, will
be long. 1t will form early in the evening
at the Hotel Vendome, and will pursue
the following course: First street to Santa
Clara, TO Second, to San Antonio, to First,
to Santa Clara, and disband at the Mer-
curry Office. All the leading business
houses will be closed, and the line of
march will be Illuminated. Likely some
thing extraordinarily spectacular in the
way OF illumination will be seen in the
case of King Coles float, for it will have a
trolley to tap the wire of the electric roads.
In addition to this will be numerous
torch-bearers following alongside the pro-
cession and wagons at intervals throwing
caIcium-lights upon the procession. As
though all this were not sufficient, there
viii be float devoted TO fireworks, and it
Will be constantly in service.
After disbanding the members of the
procession and all others will proceed. to
the carnival pavilion, where the Mayor
will formally turn over the city to King
Cole, and where the king will be crowned
with becoming pomp. 1t is likely that in
his proclamation he will issue sentence of
banishment against a number OF citizens
who deem themselves worthy. After
some other business of this kind the mask
ball will be in order. Taken as whole, it
will be the most amusing and spectacular
burlesque ever seen this side of the Missis-
sippi. w. C. Morrow.

KING COLES INVASION.
He Win Come at the Head OF q
Fantastic Army.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May I'm sharp and
grotesque contrast to the orderly floral
parade of Wednesday will be the out
landish and lawless process ssion and ball oi
Saturday evening. On Wednesday we
reveled in sentiment and beauty and gave
expressions to ideals. On Saturday night,
under cover of such darkness as human
ingenuity cannot dispel, we shall drop
from the clouds and let the wholesome
animal in US run riot. That is to say, we
shall don masks and surrender to those
worthy disreputables, Momus and King
Cole; and it hardly requires a student of
Mother Goose to know what that means.
This is passing regretfully over the great
polo game of to-day, the grand ball at the
pavilion this evening and the prospect of
achievements worth remem bering as the
result of Stanford's efforts tomorrow.
And these events are just as important as
any other in the festival which Santa Clara
County is holding. They will be con-
sid cred more at length in other parts of
this account. The purpose of this writing
is to bring attention to bear on the par
tlcular feature of Saturday night and sug-
gest an acceptance OF the opportun ity
which it offers.
1t may be said at the beginning that the
authorities have decided TO abandon their
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-08

control that evening to King Cole and his
incorrigibles. AS is becoming in such a
potentate this worthy, if rumor is credit
able, has every physical and spiritual en-
dowment with which tradition accredits
his ioeal. With girth naturally prodig-
ious and jolly soul to keep it shaking he
lacks nothing to secure perfection. AS for
the rubicund nose that is merely a matter
of paint or industry.
The parade will be in four or more divi-
sions, this uncertainty having been caused
by the jealous care with which the partic-
ipants are guarding their secrets. Even
the central management has no idea of the
freakish things that will present them
selves. There is only one rule: everything
goes that is masked, grotesque and pictur-
esque.
The first division will have marshal
leading company of tumblers and other
acrobats, float carrying the band royal
and then the wonderful Chinese dragon
with luminous insides, 600 legs. fiery eyes
of a diameter twice the height of a man
and mouth and nostrils belching forth fire,
smoke and lava. But the grandest feature
will be King Cole. His pipe. his bowl and
his fiddlers three will support his dignity,
and his chief mentor and moral support
will be the most uncanny and solemn of
little Africans, brownie in the flesh, who
will turn thumerthets, thtand on his hade
and roll the whites of his eyes dreadfully,
Then will burst upon the view the Ara

order is composed of the substantial busi-
ness men of San Jose and the outlying
towns and they are organized for such en-
tertainments as this with a wise under
standing of the universal fondness for
burlesque and fun. What grotesque ideas
will be developed as the result of their in.
vidual ingenuity it is not given to all men
at present to know, but we may be sure
that their parade will be a succession of
screams and conyulsions. OF course these
worthless will have q queen, and of course
their queen will be as ridiculous a bur-
lesque of the beautiful girl and her empiri-
cism who received so much honor on

ingenuity to conceive. Whether or not

will be flooded by multitude of students
such as she has never seen before. As
Stanford University is particularly noted
for its enthusiasm much of it will be made
manifest on this occasion, and the cardinal
will be proudly carried from one end OF

The students have been provided with a
special train, which will arrive at San lose
at 0:10 A. NJ. The train will be appropri-
ately decorated for the occasion. 1t will

Burlingame led from the start and in q
few minutes had the ball between the
goal-posts. In the second period 1t was
plain that the southerners were not in the
tight, although they battled bravely and
took the ball many time near their goal,
only to be whipped away. however, by q
skillful Burlingame player, whose superior
pony led the rest. Dick Tobin and Walter
Hobart distinguished themselves in the
sallies and more daring work and appeared
ike whirlwind in the eyes of the River
side men.
The play lasted nearly TWO hours and
ended with a score of to in favor OF
Burlingame. 1t was stated that the win
ners had the best ponies, in addition to
which advantage they were hard players.
The display of fireworks at the bicycle
park in the evening drew together several
thousand people, who witnessed as pretty
| pyrotechnic display as was ever seen in
this city.
The exhibition opened with six pots of
red light, which brilliantly Illuminated
| the previously dark grounds. This was
| quickly followed by red, white and blue
bombs, exploded simultaneously, which
gave the heavens decidedly patriotic
complexion. A set piece, containing the
words, "Our Garden City, in red, white
and blue, followed, after which large
number of rockets and bombs were set off
together.
A set piece displaying fire engine at
work and lettered s'S. F. D." brought
forth much applause. Red, white and
blue fountains were then set off and Ron
CONVERTS band played America" while
the pieces were burning. Another lot of
skyrockets and bombs were here ex-
hibited. The American flag was displayed
as large set piece, followed by fountain
of red, white and blue fire.
Eighteen stands of Roman candles, each
containing seven pieces, were next shown,
after which stand piece of a kicking
mule was presented. The stand pieces of
the Carnival Queen" and "Our King"
were loudly applauded.
The carnival ball held at the pavilion
tonight was a grand success. The vast
| hall was filled with the elite of the city.
The costumes of the ladies were the hand
soonest ever displayed in this city on any
occasion. Carnival Queen Lillian Rea, ac-
companied by her maids of honors and
attendants, opened the ball about 10
o'clock and viewed the grand march from
her throne The march was led by ex-
Mayor Austin and Mrs. ]. II. Henry, the
! wife of the director-general of the carni-
val. Among the dancers were many vlsi-
