and did. The maskers left their floats, at
tackled the throne, and with the King and
Queen borne aloft on their shoulders joined
in the mad dance of the courtiers.
All of this was preliminary. After the
decidedly noisy ascent to the throne the
real fun of the evening began with ballet
by the maids of honor. Premier Danseuse
Fred Howe set the pace. They danced un-
til Roncoveiri began "The Sidewalks of
New York, f" and then gave way to the
Queen, whose dance was scarcely started
when fire broke out in the big tenement
next the throne.
The whole court, attracted by the
agonized cries of the inmates, fed to the
rescue. The local Fire Department, how
ever, got there first, and gave an excellent
exhibition of the way their work is done.
Roncovieri accompanied the spectacle
with appropriate illustrated music. The
volume of applause was swelled by mad

SANTA CRUZ. CAL, June 20.-There
can have been no fiesta in all the State of
California to exceed in attractiveness of
feature and successful accomplishment of
detail this Santa Cruz Venetian Water
Carnival. There has never been week in
the history of this city when the summer
days were more beautiful or the nights
more charming. Monterey Bay was never
so calm and pretty as it has been for these
four carnival days. There have never
been happier people assembled for holl-
day than have come here this week. From
Wednesday noon until Saturday midnight
the pleasures of the visitors have been IN
broken. For the trustees OF the Carnival
Association there have been weeks of Ia
Dor, but for the people there has been
nothing but pleasure. Beginning with
the coronation of Queen Josephine and
ending with the maskers' burlesque, there
has not been an hour without its attrac-
ton.
On this last day Queen Josephine and
her maids visited the Philadelphia. Ad-
miral Beardslee expressed his admiration
for the queenly way in which Miss Turcot
ruled her happy subjects and gave a
luncheon TO emphasize his good will
toward the people whom the Queen so
well represents. Most of the suite &C.
cepted the hospitality. 1t was visitors
day aboard both ships, and the bay was
dotted with small craft from early morn
ing till late in the evening, carrying
thousands out to inspect Uncle Sans
men-of-war. The Spreckels yacht Lur
line which arrived early this morning,
l.
White Rover also drew many admiring
visitors.
These scenes on the bay have been a
part of this grand carnival, and have
added much to the pleasures of week
which will be long remembered by every
visitor to Santa Cruz.

King High Jinks Strauss and his gracious
Queen floated up the lake and went gayly
TO the throne so recently vacated by her
more graceful but no more gracious Ma
jesty Queen Josephine. Roncovieri played
music appropriate to the occasion, the
populace yelled and hallooed until the
noise was deafening, the Queen did
dance before the throne and the jinks was
on.
Upon the lakes were a hundred gayly
decked floats, laden with motley crews of
ridiculously logged humans, not one OF
whom showed a tendency to preserve the
peace and quiet of the dominion. But
peace and quiet were not expected, as the
Queen indicated when she lumbe down
from her step-ladder throne, summoned
her whole retinue and, to the music of
popular air, led them through drill and
dance in which there seemed to be as
many drum-maiors as burlesque soldiers.

TtCO Hours.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 20.-THE
CALLS third special carnival train reached
its destination in fifteen minutes less time
than the one on Friday morning, thus
breaking another record. The run was
the easiest OF the three.
Conductor Bradley handled his train in
the best manner possible, and covered the
distance without any great straining. As
he has beaten his own time on each sue
cessive occasion, there is no telling to
what he would cut the record if he kept up
the work for month.
Papers were more eagerly sought this
morning than ever, and, although several
thousand were brought down, the supply
was soon exhausted. The train got in at
6 o'clock, and in less than half an hour the
most distant parts of the city had been
covered. and the newsboys were waiting
at the doors of the hotels.
Everybody wanted a paper. One OF the
boys cleared 81 in an hour and half's
work.

special train every day." he said. 1T
would be easy for US boys. 1t amt any

stood for an hour and half while the

Attorney Arthur L. Levinsky. He said
that it was not only ratification meeting
but iollitication over the fact that the
Republican convention had been wise
enough TO select as the standard bearers
for the coming campaign such men as Nc
kinley and Hobart. That they would be
elected, he declared, there could be no
doubt, and the crowd evidently thought so,
too, for it cheered loudly at this assertion.
Assemblyman Z. 1. Jones followed
Levinsky and made an eloquent speech,
expressing his pleasure at knowing that
the champion of protection was to lead
the Republican hosts TO victory next No
vember. Police Judge G. P. Rendon and
Attorney Arthur H. Ashley followed with
stirring speeches, and then the address of
the evening was made by ex-Judge j. q.
Swinnerton. He is one of the ablest
speakers in the State, and soon had the
big crowd cheering for Mckinley, while
he placed the Democrats and the present
administration on the gridiron and literal

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CAL, June 20
The ratification of the nomination of Nc
Kinley and Hobart for President and Vice
President, respectively, was most enthus-
iastically and fittingly celebrated last night
by the Republicans of this place. Many
people without the Republican ranks were
present, and the name of the great pro-
tectionlst was received with cheers. The
orchardist and the honest labcrer were
present and testified unmistakably by
their actions that they were eager for the
chance to help place the country in the
hands OF those who favor the protection of
their homes and firesides.
The Mountain View brass band supplied
the music. Captain Abbott and Amos
Neff, old-timers, had charge of the anvils
and made the welkin ring in honor of the
standard-bearer. Several large bonfires
lighted up the country around.
