GRAND RECEPTION
 BY THE PIONEERS
 OF CALIFORNIA.
Dancing and Entertainment in the Big Hall on Fourth
 Street

The Golden Jubilee reception by the Society of California Pioneers took place last night in Pioneer Hall. on Fourth street. The hall was crowded with large and select audience, which hugely enjoyed the dances and a short programme.
 Those taking part were Miss Bertha Wadham in a soprano solo. Miss Nel- lie Bowline and Miss Argyll in fancy dances, and Sisters Waterman in medley of all the popular songs of the day.
 During the dancing light refresh ments were served, and later in the evening the guests partook of a surnp- tuous banquet in the dining hall.
 The affair was under the direction of the following gentlemen: Robert Van dercook, floor manager; floor commit tee-Dan- O'Callaghan, w. Z Tiffany Bruce Cornwall, J. M. Baker. R. R Russ, Fred de P. Teller; reception com mittee-E. B. Vreeland, H. Bouton. H H. Welch, A. R. Cotton, J. F. Pinkham and c. J. King.
 4 pleasing yet pathetic incident of the evening was the meeting of two sur vivors of the iil-fated Donner party. Mrs. M. J. Reed Lewis of Capitola and w. C. Grave of CaIistoga, who had not seen each other in forty eight years. It is needless to state that their hand clasp was fervent and sincere

 BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 24.-In connection with the celebration in San Francisco of the discovery of gold in California. the story told by Nathan Smith of this State is interesting. Before his death Smith often told the story, and ex- pressed a desire that the true history of the discovery could be published. Smith claimed to have been with Mar shall. He said when they were deep ening the tailrace to the mill, the little son of one of the men was playing in the water. This man was named Nimmer. His boy bothered him, showing pebbles that he picked from the water. Finally the boy picked up something bright and went to show it to his father. The latter impatiently ordered him to go away and the boy sat down on the

ridges and how the people lay down by the trail and died of hunger when almost in sight of the promised land. It did not seem long, looking back, he said, for the horrors of that trip had made for themselves an ever-present memory.
 The singing of America" by the children and the audience closed the programme, but before the chaplain rose for the benediction, Mayor Phelan read telegram from the President in which he expressed a willingness to open the Miners Fair next Saturday night by the touch of an electric but ton in Washingon. The telegram was as follows:
 "The President will be pleased to comply with your request to open the Jubilee Mining Fair on the 29th inst. Kindly have the necessary arrange ments made with the telegraph com pany and notify him of the time you wish the opening to occur"
 It was signed by the executive sec retary.
 Then the chaplain pronounced the benediction and the people left the building. and even though the rain was falling, it did not seem such a dark day after all

HOW THE DAY PASSED IN THE
 VARIOUS COUNTIES.
A Big Parade in the Streets of Los Angeles-Other
 Celebrations.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 24.-The fftieth anniversary of the discovery of gold in California was observed in Los Angeles in most appropriate and befitting manner. Almost the entire population turned out and participated. Although the banks and leading business houses failed to take cognizance of Governor Budd's proclamation declaring the day State holiday. the people did. and the result was that the parade in the after noon was a grand success in every way. and this evening the observance of the event closed with a banquet at Turn Verein Hall.
 The celebration to-day was under the auspices of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association. the Native Sons and Native Daughters and the local Society of California Pioneers. Secretary F. J. Zeehandelaar of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association had added an attractive feature to the event by prevailing upon a number of local manufacturers to make a display in the parade, which was in the nature of a home products exhibition.
 Long before the hour named for the parade to start the line of march was thronged by vast crowds of people in holiday attire. Every position of van tage from which the procession could be reviewed was taken.
 Promptly at ? o'clock the parade formed at Sixth and Los Angeles streets. and began to move west on Sixth to Main. At the head of the pro- cession was Chief of Police J. M. Glass. with two companies of mounted police. Mounted on fine horses, Grand Marshal J. C. Cline and Max Meyerberg. R. w. Pridhanl. R. H. Heron, c. B. Booth and R. W. Burnham of the exhibition committee made a handsome appear ance After this escort came the first division. This was composed of Brig adier-General C. F. A. Last and staff the Seventh Regiment band.

hall was decorated in an unusually at tractive manner. From the center there hung an immense netting of gray thread and within that was a smaller one of squares of colored net. the blocks composing it being of different shades. The whole, novel in conception, was a neat conceit and produced a very pleas ing effect. In addition there was an attractive and artistic arrangement of light -colored bunting of various shades in which were intertwined garlands of evergreens and a liberal display of flowers, on the gallery and the side walls. On the stage was displayed the magnificent silken banner of the parlor and the letters of the order. In the golden poppieS that were such an at- tractive feature in the days process sion. There was large attendance and when the music for the grand march burst forth there were more than 100 couples ready to take part in 1t. The ball was under the direction of the following committees:

ROCKIES LIT THE SKY AND BOMBS
 WROUGHT THUNDER.
Pyrotechnic Displays on Rinco II and Clay Street
 Hills.

Rincon Hill was awake to a portion Of Its former splendor on the centen- nial jubilee by a display of fireworks. The pyrotechnics took place on Second street bridge, where the shells and rockets could be seen from all parts of the eastern section of the city The evening cleared off sufficiently to af- ford all the spectators an uninterrupt- ed view of the display.
 The fireworks were everything that could be desired, and while there was no set pieces, yet each and every rocket, shell and candle was worthy of admiration. The display lasted two hours without any noticeable intermis- sions, feature which was much ap- preciated by the spectators. As the last rocket went through the air on its mission of celebration a gentle shower started in similar to that which fol- lowed immediately after the proces- sion had passed the reviewing stand.
 Just as the signal fire lit up on Rim con Hill. tinting the lowering clouds with rainbow hues. the display on Clay
 street hill commenced. Rocket after rocket, bomb after bomb, went hissing
 toward the heavens and spread their multitudes of vari-colored stars against a background of fog and mist. Not withStanding the threatening weather. many of the residents of the north side district left their homes to witness the display Experts were in charge and no accident occurred to mar the en- ioyment of the spectators.
 After the first ensemble of rockets and bombs had been fired, those hav- ing the display in charge settled down to business, and for an hour and half the sky was filled with dazzling fire | and falling stars. lNo set pieces were used in the display on Clay-street hill, l owing to the fact that the location was ! away from the masses of the people. l Nevertheless. it was an exceptionally l good one. The location was high above ] the level of the city, and the beauties ! of the display could be seen as far as 1 the eye could reach.
 About 800 people who climbed to the ! top of the hill, at the corner of San i chez and Twenty first streets were ! disappointed last night, inasmuch as
 the advertised pyrotechnic display did l not come off. The programme was in-
 terfered with by the rain. The stands
 for the set pieces were put in place
 yesterday afternoon, just before il
 commenced to drizzle. There was then 1 every indication of a heavy downpour ! of rain and the workmen returned to
 the city with the set pieces, expecting
 that it would be impossible to make a i display. The disappointed crowd took i the matter goodnaturedly.

 A great feature of this division was the sixteen-mule prairie schooner re- sembling those that crossed the plains fifty years ago. The floats in the pa rade were very handsome, the most at tractive being that of the Chamber Of Commerce, which was drawn by five horses blanketed in gold trimmed with white The general effects were white and gold, the coiors of the chamber, which are emblematic of orange and orange blossoms. The float was not too large and was literally covered with the products of Southern California. The frame work was built in tiers. in some thing like an oblong pyramid. This whole framework was covered with white cloth, which swept loose at the bottom. hiding the wagon box on which the float rested, and was tastefully trimmed with festoons of yellow caught Ip with rosettes The hind wheels of visible. were decorated with alternate strips of white and yellow. On the first tier of the structure were oranges, ar ranged in luscious pyramids. Above them in the next tiers were any num- her of bottles and casks of preserved, dried and crystallized fruit, mixed in with miniature exhibits of olive oil, cube sugar and walnuts. all arranged in artistic style. Above this, on the top of the whole. was the most interesting feature of the float. At the front the hammer of the Chamber of Commerce flapped and jerked in the strong wind as if in terror of big stuffed cinna- mon bear which stood open -jawed and ferocious just behind. In front and rear of him were gigantic specimens of nunpkins and squash The pumpkin was truly gigantic, but that squash had a very suspicious papiermache appear auce. Just in the middle of the top and behind the bear was a basket stand containing bushels of tempting-lo looking the delivery wagon of the Chamber of Commerce, from which 4200 pieces of literature eXtOlling the advantages of Southern California were distributed.
 This evening closed the celebration with an entertainment and banquet at Turn Nereln Hal, gwen Dy the Los Angeles County Society of Pioneers, the Native Sons and Daughters and the Historical Society. s. A. D. Jones acted as chairman and c. Truman as toast master. The opening address was de- livered by Isadore B.

 FROM MAGUIRE.

x WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-My k interest in the Golden Jubilee is
 x intensified by early recollections. x I met Colonel Sutter and James x w Marshall personally and vis-
 Y ited the scene of Marshall's dis Y covery of gold both before his x death and after the erection of x his monument. It was a great
 }: event, of which the addition to x the worlds stock of gold was by x no means its most important ef-
 < feet. It attracted to California k in a remarkably short space of Y time the grandest population < that ever raised the standard of x civilization in any similar terri
 x tory in the history of the world. x This population developed its x mines to satisfy the worlds de- x mand for gold. and then found in x her fertile valleys richer and s more permanent sources of x wealth than her golden placers x and lodges afforded. It brought x a great population to a great x State and laid the foundation for x the grandest commonwealth in x the galaxy of American States. x Such an event deserves to be fit x tingly commemorated and the x Governor has done we'll to pro- x claim its fiftieth anniversary a X legal holiday.
