too shoal A second lighter was called
into requisition and the steamer was
run in as close as possible-too close, for

on the third. A rush was made for the
long tables groaning beneath their
toothsome loads and the feast began.

THE EVENING BEFORE
The fireworks display Thursday night
was Of the most beautiful description.
the esplanade had been lavishly hung
with Japanese lanterns and all of the
principal buildings, including the Metro
pole, were outlined with the same gaily-
colored lights. From a lighter in the
bay red fire poured out in streams. and
great rockets and falling sprays of gold
en- rain lighted up the heavens. The set
pieces, 1.-THE Pioneer" "Commodore
Sloat," the STARS and Stripes" and Our
Insignia" were beautifully designed in
the national colors, being received by
the spectators with uproarious enthusi-
asm. From the deck Of the Hermosa as
she steamed into the bay the scene was
one of Venetian brilliancy, with the
crashing music of the band and the
dancing reflection Of the many colored
lights upon the waters.
After the fireworks came the grand
ball at the pavilion, and thither f1ocked
the Native Sons and the Native Daugh-
ters as soon as the last flashing rocket
had sped heavenwards. DR.. Carl Kurtz,
E. G. Hookstratten and G. w. Seldner
