teams exhibited a tendency to play slow and take the time limit on all oc casions, 1t was nevertheless exciting and full of interest. The crowd was small, but enthusiastic, and especially so were the Wild West Indians, who occupied seats on the eastern side of the field.
 From a critical point of view the Army should have won. but after the first ten minutes of play their team work dropped off, and on several occa- sions Captain Carson used exceedingly poor judgment in the running of the team. Especially was this the case when, with only half a minute to play in the first half and the ball on the thirty yard line, Captain Carson tried the Guards right end instead of a goal from the field. A similar occasion arose when the Guards had the ball. Captain Thierkauf dropped back Car

Castro Heights in honor of the Miners Jubilee.
 For full hour the sky and sur rounding hills were illumined with a maze of light and dazzling electrical effects, which to an observer in the distance could be mistaken for a vol cano in full eruption belching forth fire and smoke into the surrounding gloom.
 Promptly at o'clock the two rocket mortars placed on the side of the Heights facing the city began to belch and hurl their missiles heavenward The rockets from the mortars bursting in the air descended to the earth in all manner of grotesque and weird shapes. some assuming the forms of different animals and others presenting the ap- pearance of a mass of fiery serpents descending in clusters to the earth.

 I have very warm corner in my heart for California and her people" he said. "The developments and pop ulation of the Golden State are to me like fairy tale. Magnificent cities have sprung up where there were but short time ago only a few shanties There are stores of luxury and all mod ern improvements on every hand.

 Then again B. F.

The prevailing colors In the display were white and gold, and the mortars used in the firing of the rockets were so arranged that at a given signal they could be fired simultaneously. This was done for the purpose of send ing them in a direct line into the air that they might meet and descend in a mingled mass of white and gold lights. The resounding crash conse- quent upon the explosion of the rock cts and the prismatic effect caused by the intermingling of colors was dag zling in the extreme. The red fire. four hundred pounds of which was burned on the hilltop facing the city, was par ticularly effective, presenting the ap- pearance of an immense bonfire. Its radiating gleam pierced the darkness for a distance of half a mile and H.

"HE city did not lose its holiday
 appearance after the parade Of
 Monday. The second day of the
 Golden Jubilee celebration
 opened with the streets filled with pleasure-seekers. During the fore noon the street-car lines to the ocean beach were crowded and most of the visitors to San Francisco spent the morning at the Cliff House and at the park.
 In the afternoon the football game was the attraction. It was between teams from the United States army and the National Guard of California, and it was played at Central Park. There was some misunderstanding about the time the ball was to be kicked off, and the crowd did not put In an appearance at the grounds until the ball was well in the field. It was a hard-fought game. Both teams were at their best and every foot travelled by the ball meant a hot scrimmage.
 While the ball game was in progress the parlors of the Native Daughters of the Golden West of the city and Oak land and Alameda were entertaining the visitors to the city at the Native Sons Hall. The reception was the feature of the days programme in the celebration. Thirteen parlOrs combined to entertain the visitors and a right royal welcome was rendered to all. Great care had been taken in the deco rations of the hall, and the large room

 In the evening the reception was at Its height. Then the Veteran Bremen and the California Pioneers attended in a body. The Calaveras band, with its members in the rustic garb of the miner, marched to the hall early in the evening and commenced the proceed ings. Close after them came the Vet eran Bremen in uniform, headed by their band. and they marched into the hall under the leadership of Colonel Burns, one of the oldest of their num- Der. They marched twice around the hall, then fell into line before the plat form and were formally welcomed as the special guests of the Native Daugh- ters by Mrs. Genevieve Baker Mrs. Belle Conrad, the grand president of the order, welcomed the visitors who filled the hall.

 The display was conducted by A. w. GonZel, and was a success in every de tail. A similar demonstration has been proposed by MT. GonZel for the illumin- ation of the City Hall dome on next Friday and Saturday nights, but as yet he has received no answer to his pro- posal from the Jubilee headquarters. His plan for the illumination of the municipal building is more extensive in its details than the exhibition on Castro Heights last evening. His idea is to burn four hundred pounds of red fire in the corridor directly beneath the dome, twice this amount of the same Illuminating material on the next lower elevation and magnificent display of fireworks in the third corridor.

TIMELY AND
 FITTING TRIBUTE.

] WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The
 ] Golden Jubilee is timely and fitting tribute to the hardy and intelligent pioneers who laid the
 foundation of California's s great
 j ness and the fiftieth anniversary
 ! of the discovery of gold in Cali
 ! fornia is a fitting occasion for
 such a celebration. That event
 ] greatly promoted the settlement
 j and development of the great ! empire of our country's terri T tory lying west of the Rocky
 ! Mountains California owes ; much of it's present greatness to
 that event. Certainly more than
 ! to any other single event in her
 ] history. I am sure that the cele-
 ; bration will be entirely worthy
 , of the occasion and hope that its : success may surpass the expec-
 , tations of it's public-spirited pro- ! moters. I join most heartily in
 the sentiment which has inspired :. the Golden Jubilee and which . will, l am sure, carry it to a . glorious success.

JUBILEE GREETINGS
 FROM SENATOR PERKINS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-I send greeting to the people of California and congratulate them in their commemoratiOn of a great event. While many of us went to California to mine, we found that the wealth of Califor- mia was not confined to its min erals. We found that in its soil was wealth. Its great sea coast made it a great center. Its agri- cultural and horticultural inter ests are known throughout the world.
 May California continue on its great march of progress, and while not attempting to make in- vidious comparisons with the rest of the world I still insist that it is the garden of Eden"
 Its climate is grand, it's indus tries large and prosperous and its public schools, colleges and universities compare most fav- orably with the advanced insti- tutes of learning throughout the world. It is indeed a proud thing to say to others that you are a Californian
