CHILDREN AT DRILL.
The Young Folks Join in the
 Jubilee Celebration.

JuDllee CSteOI6JlO1.
 Fifteen thousand children made merry at Golden Gate Park yesterday. It was childrens day of the jubilee weeks festivities, and the young men and the young ladies of the rising generation-the children in frocks and the tots just beginning to walk, as well as scores in carriages exclusively their own-joined in the celebration. Children were at the park as soon as the sun began to shine and by 10 o'clock the children's playground was crowded. The merry -go-round did not stop from the arrival of the first boy until dark ness set in, except to change the loads on the rocking wooden horses The donkeys and the goats were kept nov ing in double-quick time all day, and there was not a child in the park who did not have a ride.
 Captain Thomson and his squad of park police and Sergeant Tobin and twenty of the city policemen were on hand early in the day to keep some semblance of order among the boys and girls; but the officers did not for get that they were children themselves, and the biggest boys in the park dur ing the day were Captain Thomson and Sergeant Tobin. The children just mauled the policemen, and the police men liked it. They laughed with the little folks, and everybody had a good time.
 A lunch and candy and popcorn were given to all the little visitors There was a crush at the doors of the lunch rooms all the afternoon, but no one went hungry. It was a great effort for c. H. Murphy, the superintendent of the children'S playground, to give benches to so many.
 The Calaveras band, with it's mem- bers in the garb of the present-day miner. furnished plenty of music for the occasion.
 The competitive drill of classes from the public schools was the attraction of the day. A handsome silk banner given by the jubilee committee. was the trophy. Drilled classes from six schools competed for the prize. The Mission Grammar School had a class of bows and class of girls that were anxious to compete. The girls class numbered only thirty-eight. rank and file, and it seems 1t was the rule that there should be full company of fifty-six George Mehling, who had charge of the affair refused to allow the class to compete The girls of the class remonstrated but Mehling was obdurate and replied. What do you want to compete for? You won't get a prize. anyway
 The class of boys of the same school had the requisite number in its ranks. and it was considered one of the best drilled of the school companies in the city. Its members refused to march on the parade ground unless the girls class was allowed to Compete. The re- suit was that the drill was carried on without representation from the Mis- sion School.

 As I stand here tonight. one of the oldest active miners in the State, the mists or memory rise. and as the shad owy procession of the years goes by realize that we are beginning a new era. The past hfty years have gone into his tory, with the men who made it. To their achievements all honor; to their success be great praise; let their mis- takes be measured by a most merciful spirit of criticism. It is for us to press on in the van of scientific mining. with processes, the most intelligent appli- ances. and keep California, as in the past in the lead of all other mining communi ues ana state to which in generous ri valry all other sections shall continue to look for inspiration and example.
 And now, as president of the California state Miners Association, on behalf of that body l accept the rendered trust and proclaim the Golden Jubilee Mining Fair open till March g. 1898. and invite miners everywhere to come and see the exhibition of how gold mining is done in California, and how San Francisco can abundantly outfit the miner, whether he seek for gold within our own borders or journey to the Klondike.
 Mayor Phelan then introduced the four companions of Marshall, and in his address said:
 The city of San Francisco. as a labor of love, decided to appropriately cele- brate the fiftieth anniversary of the dis coyery of gold in California Ii is a mat ter or congratulation that the heroic men-the pioneers of California-who had the courage and intelligence to improve a golden opportunity have been so fit- tingly honored.
 The Jubilee may be regarded as being preliminary to the opening of the Min ing Fair and leading up to it. Here the miners nave brought from the mountains outcroppings of the wealth of California and laid them before the people of the State On the seal of the city and county or san francisco are the words "GQld hes civilization and luxury, iron fortitude and courage. Those words tell the story Of our past.

It was estimated at the lowest fig ures that at least 50,000 people visited the floral market during the three days that it was opened to the public Of this number 30,00O visited Union Square yesterday. From the time the market opened in the afternoon until it closed at 10 o'clock last night, it required the efforts of a dozen policemen to handle the crowd.
 Early in the day it was found neces- sary to form in line those who wanted to pass through the large tent This line stretched almost half way across the square.
 The music last evening was furnished by the band of the Holy Cross. They did not play in the band stand, but took a position directly in front of the mar ket tent. They were much praised for their music.

 The opening ceremonies were simple. A miniature tower had been construct el in the center of the great floor of the pavilion, and in it were three bells. One had over a century ago tolled the advance of civilization to the aborig ines from the walls of the old Mission Dolores. Another had rung the signals of danger when lawlessness was rife in San Francisco in the early days of the city when the Vigilance Committee ad- ministered quick and effective justice.

 The six companies that competed were from the Horace Mann, Pacific Heights Hamilton, James Lick, Ever ett and Crocker. The girls drill corps of the Horace Mann School was de- clared the most proficient, and it car ried eff the banner. The girls wore neat-f7tting blue uniforms, with yellow trimmings and white leggins. The corps was explained by Georgia Barnes, with Ethel Simpson and Lena Williams as lieutenants.
 The boys drill corps of the Pacific Heights School was given the second prize. Sheldon Parker was it's captain, and his lieutenantS were Stanley Prior and Frank Peters.
 The third prize was awarded to the girls corps of the James Lick School. red sashes. Their captain was Pearl Bryan.
 The boys class of the Hamilton Grammar School was explained by AL bert Mohun, with Curtis Lindsley and Charles Eager for heutenants. Annie MurTdy was the captain or the SlrlS class from the same school, and her lieutenants were Ida Finlay and HiIda Katy.

Standing here with a group of enthusiastic Cali fornians. surrounding the President of the United States, while in an instant of time actually rang the Jubilee bell in the Mechanics Pavilion in San Fran cisco, 3200 miles away, impressed me more than ever before with the truth that intellect has conquered time and space and that the chief magistrate of this great nation Is indeed in close touch with the remotest sections of our country.
 T venture to say that the audience assembled in San Francisco which heard the bell answer to the touch of the button here and which applauded the Presidents beautifully framed and sincere greeting was not more enthusi- astic than the California audience which applauded the responses here We all feel that we have actually par ticipated in the opening of the Jubi- lee fair, and we feel pleased to have had the privilege of so doing To the President himself the occasion was more than perfunctory. It was mani fest that he was deeply and sincerely interested and really enjoyed his share in the occasion.
 ''The unexpected presence of Mrs. Mckinley gave an additional interest. We regarded her presence as a very high compliment, since being a con- firmed invalid she rarely ever taxes her strength to attend such functions. On the whole, the affair was very pleas ant and highly gratifying to the just and reasonable pride of Californians in the affair and the fame of the State" "

The Wild West Show repeated it's pro- gramme at Central Park yesterday, and will do so again this afternoon. The lassoing of the steers was not interfered with by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The only thing that was not down upon the pro gramme was the falling of one of the horses in the coach holdup act No one. however. was hurt by the acci- dent When it came to the lassoing of the steers one of the animals made a sudden break and came near getting mixed up with a cowboy. There will be some rough riding to-day for wager. George SweitZer has bet Joe Watkins $50 that none of the cowUoSs can ride his horse, Jack the Ripper. Watkins says that he is willing to lose if he cannot produce cowboy from one of those now in the show who can stick on the back of the. horse.

The other bell was clarion call to arms when the life of the community was threatened before law had firmly assert ed her authority during the turbulent days of the formation of the common wealth. The Golden Jubilee bell, new, bright and beautiful is the voice of the present. Its sound falls upon the ear of a prosperous and enlightened people, en- loving all the arts of peace In a city the world.
 California has been singularly honored on this occasion by the President recog- nizing the great work which this State has done for the Union during it's fifty years of eXister ce by consenting to open this exposition, which he has done to- night. As late as 1S46 Daniel Webster doubted whether this remote country could ever be made a part of the Union of States; and William H. Seward, in the Senate, as late as 1S50 in demanding the admission of California as State. said that her resources were such that if de- nied admission it might be that she would set up an independent empire.
 On account of her remote position it might be reasonably urged that there was nothing in common between the East and the West. California was admitted Tn mat memorable year, but it was not until forty-one days afterward that the people or this State were informed of the fact, such being the difficulties of commu- nlcauon- But what do we see to-day? instantaneous communication exists be- tween the Capitol at Washington aDi the city of San Francisco. located on the re- mote borders of the republic. This gra. cious act of President Mckinley tells bet ter than any language can describe the progress civilization has made during the last fifty golden years.
 There Is no State in the union that has greater reason to rejoice than California and no city acting as the mouthpiece of the State and proclaiming it's resources to the world has been allotted a prouder task.
 A letter was read from Governor Budd announcing his inability to be present on account of illness and ask ing Mayor Phelan to represent him on the occasion.
 An excellent band has been secured to be in attendance daily at the fair, and last night the programme was as follows:
