The Macdonough Theater could not
hold fourth of the people who wished to
crowd into it this afternoon to hear the
oratory and singing in com mmemoration ol
Independence day.
The stage was beau fully decorated by
ladies of the Grand Army.
P. NJ. Fisher, chairman of the entertain
ment committee opened the proceedings
and in a few well-chosen words introd uced
Mayor Thomas. A volIey of applause
greeted the Mayor, especially from the
G. A. e., the members OF which occu pied
seats in the orchestra. Miss MolIie Con-
ners, Auditor Snow of the committee and
Mrs. S. G. Borland occupied places on the
platform.
Mayor Thomas remarks w,re In the
nature OF welcome. He said he was not
down for speech, and introduced Alfred
Wllkie, who thrilled the house with The
Sword of Bunker Hill" The violent ap-
plause that followed was not appeased till
Mr.. Wilkie returned and gave an encore.
Ex-Mayor George c. Pardee was the
next speaker. He said in brie.:
Inc personal bravery oil tne men who signed
that wonderful Dec ara tion was greater than
that displayed by any OF the heroes whose
deeds have been celebrated in history song
romance or legend. Thsy were braver than
the defenders OF the pass of Tnermopyla
and drawer than the Immortal 500 al
Baiaklava. They weighed well the conse-
quences OF their act and appreciated fully the
results of failure. Yet not man faltered o.
hand trembled when i. placed the sure evi-
dence of its owners defiance of his former
monarch where lis very presence might con-
vict him of treason.
No nation can long survive, aud no nation
ought long to survive, unless it has within
patriotism, which cpmpels it to celebrate the
deeds Of those to whom it owes its liie No
nation can long be free, and no nation ought
long to be free, unless it keep as feast days

The very foundation of pubic and personal

John A. Britton, who spoke next, said
briefly:
This is rightfully dav of which we all feel
proud. Although none OF us took hand in
the or1glna founding OF our country our brave
ancestors lett o US the heritage OF carrying
out to fulfil lment the work they began. We
need 10 have more frequent lessons in pa rio L
ism. 1he sptrit TO which we give expression
to-day should be ours every day of our lives.

foolish enough 10 hold out any threai against
This country that will be OF any moment. But

cause to fear trouble from wi HIN. We need
to lnsti.l into the growing generation the ne
cessity of pulling together for the welfare OF
the Republic, and we also need to practice
what we preach. This Nation Will never agai n
go to war over the slavery question, but there
are other little clouds looming up Oh the hori-
zon OF our prosperity and National happiness.
THESE may be guarded against. We must
erect such bulwark OF patriotism that the
onslaught OF evil workers cannot prevail
againstit Only b. this means can the sta.

Residents of Livermore were awakened
at sunrise this mornin; by the firing OF a

celebration was kept up till midnight.
The parade was the finest ever seen in

orders and the merchants all contributed
to its success. and some of the features
were strikingly original
TIE afternoon exercises were held in
the Pavilion. Contractor George Meyers
put in new floor for the occasion so rs

Patriotism can never grow old.
One of the greatest OF British authors
once began a story thus; "'Tis an old
story now, the battle of The Nile, but q
brave story can never die of age" How
ever true this may be of the story of the
Nile. it is infinitely more so of the story
of'76.
Tuls was proved to-day in this city.
Oakland is indeed growing greater, not
there was more of the spirit OF '76 demon
strated to-day than has been seen for
years
The demonstration was well conceived
and well managed. 1t contained sugges-
tions OF peace, of war. of industry, of ira
ternity and of progress, each being subor-
dinated TO the spirit of the day -
patriotism. The pageant was needed.
Oakland is-or has been-a city of castes.
socially. politically. religiously and ccm-
mercially. AT intervals these lin are so
finely drawn that there is danger of a
small sectional war among it's lie idents.
At sue times something is needed 10
bind the various sections together. The
parade ana exercises supplied it. Every
body permit ed the sunshine upon hem
as they watched the procession, as many
as could crowded into the Macdonough
Theater, and after dinner all Oakland as.

The Firemen.

The Liberty band led off the fifth divi-
sion, which consisted of the Exempts and
the Fire Department. The red -shirted
hoys pulled their ''Vigilante No. 8" with
ropes in the pioneer style, and the old
type of engine was dressed gayly in the
National colors. The old engine came
round the Horn years ago and was once
the old Sailor Boy" OF San Francisco in
the sixties.
1t is still in good working order and has
been attached to many fire departments
since its arrival on the coast more than q
generation ago. To-Day it was polish d
like a new machine and looked particu-
lsrly brilliant amid its guard of bri sht red
coats and glazed helmets.
The sixth division was devoted TO COM
mercial interests. The juvenile Star band
marched al its head and showed that it's
mem bers, though young, are certainly not
strangers to the instruments.

San Leandro's Contribution.

The Fourth divi,ion was given over to
San Leandro and that town attracted to
itself much glory by its exhibits. The
town band followed Marshal Cunha and
the leading feature was fine sim'le of
the old Spanish YES ell in which Vasco da
CANA discovered India in 1893. As the
float passed along the captaia was fre-
quently piled with le, tions, especially
about the weather II e replied that the
voyage from San Leandro had been a fine
one, that the county road made good sail
