THE GUESTS ARRIVE.
Were at Once Started on a Tour
Through Three Cities.

TIE arrangements for tho day were very
complete and the various committees cer-
tainly deserved the thanks of all con-
cerned. As soon as the trains arrived a
pLaIlnx OF white-capped reception aios
formed at the head OF the procession and
after passing the word along 10 follow
their leaders the visitors were escorted up
Broadway to the point of Capitalization
al Thirteenth and Franklin streets, where
scores OF electric cars and of private con-
veyances were waiting 10 drive the guests
through the three bay cities of Onkland,
Alameda and Berkeley.
There was not the least trouble in ham
ding the vast crowds. Every body who
had duty 10 perform had been carefully
drilled and carried it out TO perfection. At
the rendezvous the guests we're escorted
to the sireetcars and soon after their ar
rival they were scattered all over this side
of the bay.
Many of the State delegations came
over in bodies several hundred strong
and kept together the whole day. and
wherever they were there was gathering
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-14

sandwiches and sandwiches that defied
classification, but as events proved there
were plenty of sandwiches for every body
that visited the willows.
As the day wore on delegates arrived in
town, first singy, then by dozens, later by
hundreds. and toward noon over a thou
sand got off each train. Many delegations
came over long before schedule time to
avoid the crush, and they did wisely, for
although all the coaches were Tut on the
local trains that could possibly be hauled,
the crush toward noon was a surprise even
to those who are accustomed to see large
summer picnics crossing the bay. On the
narrow-gauge route. where there is a
steep hill to climb between First and
Fourteenth streets, two extra engines
were stationed on the track for the pur-
pose of helping the locomotive with its
heavy load, aid the services OF these aux
iliaries were in demand. Al the Mechan-
ics' Pavilion last night 1000 tickets enti-
Ting the holders to The freedom OF Oak
lands stree tears, luncheon and exposition,
were given out and more were in demand,
and it is known That every one of these
tickets was in use, and as a large mum her
paid their way, a reasonable estimate OF
to-day crowd of visitors would be 10, GOO.
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-14

was provided for far in excess OF what
was Anticipated. Churches that had
promised 5000 sandwiches. fifty cakes, a
dozen boxes of fruit and 100 quarts of lem
onade sent twice hat amount, and with
out doubt tbers were enough provisions
on the ground to give very hearty meal
to 10. 600 people.
The guests were supplied with paper
plates, and as fast as their dishes were
ptled they were again filled by the
people on the inside. The guests seated
themselves on hundreds OF loose planks
tha, were placed on the grass, and never
Las such an al fresco reception been ten
dered body of people in this city.
AS the guests were seated the view from
Oak street was remarkably picturesque.
Nothing was wanting TO make a complete
effect. In the background was Lake Mer-
rili, studded all over with white sailed
yachts and little rowboats, all carrying
CAV ere VS.. Under the dropping willows
which formed a natural canopy to the
long tables, everyth Ing was cool, and
thousands of people were ted, bedecked
in all bright colors and summer costumes,
and literally adorned with handsome
badges. A little way off an ardent evan
gelist of this city, who com bines q little
theology with some medical knowledge
ami great deal OF am biguou philoso-
phv, evidently considered that the Chris
tian Endeavorers needed some further re-
ligious enlightenment, ana with few
ladies and q man carrying a banner on
which there was a white dove, they sang
a vocal accom- paniment to the luncheon.
Everything was made brilliant by the un-
clouded sunshine, and the scene bv the
willows will never lie forgotten by ihos,
who obtained a view OF IL.
As fast as one section had satisfied their
appetites they adjourned to some neigh
boring willow and started little song
meeting. In fact while waiting at the
depot or for The electric cars or while
passing away a few minutes during any
part oil the days programme these En-
deavorers always burst into singing. There
seemed to be no lack OF leaders and no de-
sire to create big volume OF sound, but
every toiy was ready at moments no.
tice to follow some leader and sing some
sweet sacred song. Particularly was this
noticeable among those who went out on
the lake In tie yachts or who passed a
pleasant hour on the grass beneath the
handsome trees. Every thing was con-
ducive to music. The sunshine. he flow
ers, the birds and the slight ripple on the
lake caused by the cool breeze were so
thoroughly in harmony with the inclina-
tions of the guests that it was but natural
that they should sing, and sing they did,
A steam launch had been carried over

and was placed at the disposal of the guests,

and was placed at the disposal of the guests,
as were also many OF the yachts. The
same system that characterized the luncb-
con was noticea BILE in the distribution of
tickets for admission to the yacht. No
California visitor was served at the tables
until all the Eastern guests had been at
tended to, and no local delegates or resi-
dents were given tickets for a peasant
ride around the lake, because the Eastern
visitors appreciated it so much thar there
were more than could be accom- moda ted.
By 8 O'Clock all the visitors had been
supplied and still there was large guam
tlty of food rem naming. Ii was no ordi-
nary lunch that had been provided, nor
was it sent in ordinary quantities. Ger
tainly at no similar gathering east of the
Rockies could such quantities Of beautiful
peaches, aprlcots, pears, plums, apples
and oranges be distributed as were
handed in baskets and boxes to the dele
gates to-day All kinds of cakes and tenn
perance drinks, besides relishes, nuts and
other deiicacies, were on hand, and when
all the delegates were satisfied the police
were quietly informed that the outsiders
might be admitted. Then came the great
rush. Three or four thousand people who
had been eagerly looking over the fences.
wi hing they had come from Boston or
some other place, hurried down 10 the
tables and were waited on with as muc
coTdlailty and readiness as their prede-
cessors.
1t WIS not rough crowd by any means,
although perhaps not quite SO select as
that which was first served. Even after
these had eaten there was still great deal
left and Chairman Arper jumped up into
tree and shouted TO those present to
make another start. There was certainly
no need for any anxiety on the part of the
enters ainment committee that any of the
guests would go away hungry.
Mayor Thomas, who was present all the
day, was lifted on to a table and asked to
make a little speech. He did as requested,
particularly re arding the little" part OF
it. He said: ellow-Endeavorers: After
such display on the part of the citizens
of Oakland, there certainly is no need for
IT'S Mavor to extend to you few words OF
welcome, for we all know that actions
speak louder than Words" and having
said this the Mayor jumped off the table
and the Endeavorers started little song.

privilege to see what Alameda County

privilege to see what Alameda County
can manufacture and produce.
Every booth was dalntily decorated for
Christian Endeavor day, and the stage
presented a very picturesque appearance.
1t was certainly characteristic OF the occa-
sion to see the busy wheels OF heavy
machinery flying around decorated with
the purple and gold of the Endeavorers.
The Merchants Exchange did not intend
to let such a grand opportunity pass to
impress visitors with the actual condl-
tons of society, commerce and progress
OF Alameda County, so ii had boo b
near the ent rance, which was in charge OF
its secretary, Webb N. Pearce
Some months ago the Supervisors made
an appropriation to be used under the dl-
rection OF the Merchants Exchange and
the Board of Trade for the circulation OF
a handsome brochure on Alameda County
The book was we'll illustrated and entitled
Facts and Figures of Alameda County"
1t is devoid of all ordinary advertising
matter and contains nothln but that
which is calculated TO be of benefit to
Alameda County. About 4O0O OF these
books were III The booth to-day Tor dis
tribution, and each delegate that received
one was requested to drop his or her card
in a allot-box. There was a great rush
for the books, which are very interesting
souvenirs of over hundred pages, and be-
lore noon every one was in the possession
of visitor.
There was some objection made at the
time of the appropriation to the action OF
the Supervisors, but the manner in which
they were distributed and The high value
evidently placed on them by the visitors
make it very clear that no small appro-
priation of money ever made for ad-
vancing the interests of the county could
have been pu. to a better use.
After o'clock the vast crowd COM
menced to thin out. When the luncheon
was over many went to the exposition and
then returned to San Francisco, but
great mum ber remained over and enjoyed
tue sights of the city till late ct night.
The EXPOSITION was crowded ;his evening
with delegates, and special musical pro-
gramme was pre- pared by Director A. L.
Stewart for entertainment.
The best evidence of the manner In
which the enormous crowd Were handled
is the fact that not single accident oc-
Cured 10 mar the pleasure OF the day.
This led an Oaklauder, who is accustomed
during the picnic season to see mauy
accidents, to remark tina. after all it is
probably m ore often the fault of the con-
dition OF the crowd than of the railroad
people that accidents happen.
This observation concluded his remarks
with this significant sentence, These
Endeavorers, you see, are all sober"

UNDER THE WILLOWS.
Biggest Al Fresco Luncheon Ever
Given in the State.


At l O'clock nearly all the guests had
returned from their ride through the
suburbs and surrounding towns, and the
gates of the inclosure at the Willows were
opened to them. Captain Fletcher. in a
gaudy uniform of blue and gold, and
Captain Wilson, who was noun ted, had a
large staff of officers under their COM
mand, who guaranteed the visitors all
reasonable comfort during the repast.
The local police force was re-enforced with
detach ments from Alameda and San
Francisco, and there were also many de-
tectives on the ground. The police formed
a Gordon around the fence and no one not
properly entitled to the hospitality of the
city was permitted inside. Promptly at
l O'Clock about 5000 people (Which some
one senientiously remarked was the num-
Der provided for many yeaIs ago with a
few loaves and fshes) were seated on the
banks overlooking the lake. enjoying q
dainty lunch. The tables, several hun
dred feet in length, were ranged in the
form of parallelograms and the mattresses
were on the inside, with all the provisions
stacked up in the middle Eve ry thing
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-14

A glance at the different numbers on
to-day's programme showed that each
delegate received free ride from San
Francisco, free ride through Oakland,
Berkeley and Alameda. a frst-class
luncheon in one OF he prettiest spots that
could be found anywhere, free view of
the exposition with all it's attendant
samples, open hospitality on all hands
and a free passage back to San Francisco.
In addition % his, which was enjoyed bv
not less than 5000 people, 2000 more were
given free ride 10 Hay wards, which is
thirteen miles away, where refres hments
were literally provided, and free ride
back to San Leandro, where cooling deli
cacies were also given without stint.
Oakland claims that IN no other city in
the country where Endeavorers have held
their National conventions has u more
generous welcome been accorded, and the
delegates themselves who have been to
other conventions all attest to this fact.
