TRIUMPHANT MARCH THROUGH THE
CITY'S STREETS.
Great Enthusiasm Shown by People Who
Line the Walks and Fill the Win
dows Along the Route.

moved ND Pacific avenue and to Beach
Hill, from whose fiat crown they could see
the movement of the parade and hear the
CHEEKY music OF the bands. Other crowds
lined the sidewalks and filled the windows
of the stores and Offices and dwellings.
Arriving at the wharf the battalion of
the flagship lined up and was ready to
move promptly at the hour of 2 o'clock.
Grand Marshal Rice rode down the wharf
20 meet them; tile Santa Cruz Naval Bat
talon marched down the wharf, dressed
in their blue uniforms, ready to fall in the
rear of the white battalion.
The order of march from Lieutenant
Commander IngersolI was taken up by
the lieutenant along the line and with
uniformity and precision of movement the
white uniformed blue jackets stepped
forward as one man, bearing arms at
shoulder marching in platoon.
The mass of piles and timber that
has borne many railroad train along
its length from the main track to the
steamer landings swayed from side to
side, moving with the ''left, left, left" of
the sailor-soidiers' step, till it seemed as
though the structure would go down with
its burden of dignity and human clock
work. Under the command of Lieutenant
Moorey, the Santa Cruz fourth gun divi-
sion swung into line, following the move
ments of the white battalion, and the
great parade had begun.
Reaching the foot of Pacific avenue the
battalion formed in tours and thence to
the lower plaza at the further extremity
of the avenue. Keeping time in their
precision of step with the music
of the battalion band and Roncovieri's
band that played alternately and kept a
continuous run of music from the be-
ginning to the end of the parade. with an
occasional intermissIon when the steady
football of the soldiers In white and the
soldiers in blue sounded above the time
beating of the snare-drums.
Admiral Beardslee and his staff, with
Mayor Clark, occupied carriage, which
waited in the rear with another bearing
Captain Cotton of the Philadelphia, Cap
tain Sumner of the Monadnock and first
officers.
As the battalion approached marching
in harmony with music the order of port
arms sounded down the line ana this
silent salute to the admiral, his staff and

float and were saluted by the battalion.
Queen Josephine won the hearts of the
people by her quiet dignity, graceful car
riage and modest acknowledgment of her
oueenly powers uttered in the shouts OF
welcome as the barge moved steadily
under the stroke of the galley slaves
below.
There was doffing of hats and smiles OF
approval of the royal household. Al
though this was mimic queen, although
this was romantic picture for the pleas
ure of the people, there was an earnest
ness in their greeting that meant a real
welcome to Miss Josephine Turcot, who
made thousand friends to-day that she
had not known before.
When the long train of barges had
passed the arena forming semi-clrcle and
the Queens barge had reached the palace
where she was to be crowned Queen of
beautiful Santa Cruz the attendant barges
swung out on the broad bosom of the San
Lorenzo and awaited the coronation.
With due solemnity and dignity the
Doge OF Venice placed upon the fair head
of Queen Josephine rich jeweled crown
and announced his proclamation of coro-
nation, Mayor Clark followed with the
KEY of the city, that the Queen might
unlock the gates not only to the city ply
steal, but to the hearts of the people.
This, he said, he presented TO her and her
royal following, full right to go and come
as will and enjoy full freedom, without let
or hindrance.
Queen Josephine acknowledged grace
fully the honor and pleasure it afforded
her through a brief but eloquent speech
through her Prime Minister, Ben F.
Knight, who read in clear, loud tones that
came across the water distinctly as follows:
To our loyal subjects, greeting. Upon our
brow has been placed a regal diadenl, sym bolic
of sovereign power, by virtue of which we now
assume dominion in this our beloved city of
Santa Cruz. No line Of kindly ancestry has
marked our path to chair of state, dark with
the stains of the cruel past, but we have
been called by your love to throne of
roses, whose sweet fragrance suggests only
boundless JOY and happiness. With unfeigned
Measure we accept the crown thus graciously
bestowed, and we hope that our reign, brief
though it may be, will ever be remembered as
tina of a Queen who rules only in the hearts
of her people.
Now let this royal edict go forth unto all our
subjects that joy, mirth, merriment and rev.
elry abide throughout our coming till the
Goddess ofLight shall announce the arrival of
the Sabbath morn. Let care and trouble hide
their heads from our sight. and let naught
occur to mar the festivity of our joyous reign.
In the exercise of our royal prerogative we
now command our gallant guards and loyal
subjects to DO battle IN the service of their
Let your weapons be not of cruel steel,
but of sweet smiles and fragrant flowers,
and let each victory over the forces of
darkness and discomfort be celebrated by
the sweet strains of gladstone music and
the triumphant march Of our beloved fol-
lowers in the cause of light and happiness.
Now let the merry war begin, and may
hearts. JOSEPHINE.

lowers returned to their barges, moved

officers and the Mayor of the city was re-
sponded to by Admiral Besrdslee with
DOTTED cap. When the line passed the car
riages brought up the rear.
Reaching the plaza, the battalion coun-
termarched and formed again into pla-
toons, then into company front, and then
battalion filed into extended order for
pnysical drill with arms.
That was grand pictures picture
that can be seen only when the white bat
talon of the Philadelphia and Monadnock
present it. 1t was a picture SO simple,
so graceful, so beautiful, that it charmed
all.
Even one who had never seen a blue
jacket nor soldier on parade could not
have failed to appreciate this simple drill
that puts the soldier on his mettle in the
matter of physical culture. He must be
careful student, an artistic actor, a con-
scientious, painstaking sailor and soldier.
This physical includes four exercises and
the blue jackets go through with it hand
ling their guns as easily as if it were part
of their training from childhood. The en-
tire battalion moves as though it were one
man. There was not an instant of time
in the motion of one man in advance or
behind that of another.
The first exercise was that of extending
guns held firmly yet lightly over the head,
back of the neck, forward again, down to
the ground. The second exercise was the
swinging of the extended guns from right
to left, that was pretty motion.
The third exercise was the ripht-to-left
motion with guns extended. The fourth
consisted OF four motions to left, four to
the front, four to the right, with arms ex-
tended. This was done to the tune of
sDaisy Bell, which seems to be favorite
