weather has been perfect every day
since the visitors began to arrive. The
visiting Fasteners are congratulating
themselves upon escaping the torrid

and Eastern States. As early as day.
light little parties of a dozen or two
could be seen going toward the parks,
Cliff house or ocean beach in search Of
pleasure, while hundreds of others at
tended early morning prayer services at
the different churches.
Long before the hour for calling the
meetings to order in Mechanics and
Woodward pavilions, crowds filled ev-
cry available space in the big buildings.
The delegates were wen more enthusi-
astic than the first day of the conven-
ton, nearly all having had suffic lent
time to recover from the fatigue of a
long journey and the more or less dis.
comfort of a railroad trip. The thou
sands Of lady delegates, wearing badges
and ribbons of bright colors, looked fresh
and happy, and when the song service
was announced at the opening of the
meetings they responded with a will
that showed their whole spirit was in
the undertaking.
The total number Of registration at
headquarters is announced as nearly
10000, of whom about 1000 are from
California.
Every possible precaution has been
taken by the police and fire depart
ments to prevent any accident or stam-
pede during the sittings of the corven-
ton. Thirty police officers have been
stationed in and around Mechanics pa.
vilion to guard against over crowding
and possible panic. When the capacity
of the hall has been reached, the police
close the Doors and the rest are turned
away, directing them to the overflow
meetings at Woodward pavilion and
Odd Fellows hall.

accompanying their parents We're taken
on an excursion to the different points
of interest in the city and on the bay.
