In it's second year the club has under

larger mission Of San Fernando; it has
secured the same privileges at the latter

and caused the courageous voyagers TO
wax proud and stiff-necked. One and
all announced at intervals of a few min

a day, and in proof of their impervious

But soon slight but decided change
was noticeable in the joyous throng.
The Hermosa had passed Point Firmin,

rocked the steamer as she sped on. From

was almost foolhardy the merry sons
chose prominent vantage spots from
which to view the heaving ocean; and
they snuffed the salt breezes and smiled
aloud as the salty odor smote their nos

looked carefully surprised at the idea
that anyone had been sick. The at
tempts made by some of the late suf-
ferers to look perky and nautical, with
opposing evidences in the shape Of yel-
low eyes, wilted collars and chalky
faces, were among the most humorous
incidents of the trip.
At the gangway, as usual. the resi-
dents of Avalon had gathered to greet
the newcomers, and woe betide the un-
happy individual who bore evidence of
having given up to the motion of the
waters. The Native Sons scattered at
once, many going to the Metropole,
more going to tents and living the
primitive life of the aborigines. There
was no time to waste, for the exercises
were to commence at once, and on the
esplanade a great crowG gathered tc

and the Native Sons shook each others

feeling. Then Senator White, needing
no Introduction to such a gathering, was
greeted with an enthusiastic howl as he
stepped forward to make his speech.
The senator did not touch on political
subjects, but kept his remarks on. the
occasion of the celebration. He spoke OF
the order which he represented and paid
magnificently eloquent tribute to tn :,

had hewn out the empire of the Pacific,

caused Liverpool to dscline 5-64d Fol-
lowing the first call there was a partial
recovery, but the average was decidedly
below thee losing figures of Saturday
with the market quiet at decline of to

tons. During the afternoon the market
showed considerable weakness and ir-
regularity under renewed selling pressure
in the face of claims that the rain fall
in Texas had reached but half the cotton
growing territory of the state. The ac-
ton of the market showed that the bad
crop accounts had been extensively dis
counted; selling for short account was
