The cutest we'll the most unique fea-
ture of the procession was the appearance of
the little fellows who form the juvenile fire
department. Under the tuteage of J. L.
Brewer the children have attained such a de-
gress of proficiency in the management of their
miniature organization for fighting flames of
who watched their maneuvers with delight
Twenty-three little fellows dressed In knick
erbockers, flaming red shirts and white caps,
had hold of the ropes which were attached to
the hook and ladder truck.
The first of the parade the 173 High
School girls headed by the Fifth Regiment
Band of san Jose The young ladies presented
a beautiful picture and they won the admira-
ton of the enthusiastic thousands who had
the pleasure Of seeing them Each was in
neat and spOtess dress of white tastefully
trimmed in colors of gold, some with sashes
ing Japanese parasols Of picturesque and vary
ing designs. In three platoons they marched
with perfect step and glowing cheeks, the
cynosure of all eyes and pretty a phalanX
Of promising young beauties ever marched
in any city. They executed a series of intri-
cate and interesting maneuvers that won for
them the encomiums of the spectators and rous-
ing cheers from the other paraders.
The following organizations were also in line:
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, 200 strong;
Foresters from Salinas, Monterey, Castroville

vile league baseball teams; Salinas Fire De-
partment; Aleli Parlor, Native Daughters, 100
Santa Lucia Parlor Native Sons, and visiting
delegates, 600.
The line OF march was short on account of
the muddy streets. The procession counter
marched at San Luis street, so that members
of the N S G. w. We're given an opportunity
of seeing all those in line, and they cheered
each and every company vigorously though
they most demonstrative in favor of the
High School young ladies and school children
Although there many hundred people to
witness IT, the meeting between the Santa Cruz
and Watsonville league baseball teams this af-
ternoon developed what is styled a fake. Peo-
pie went to what represented would
be a baseball game. Representatives of the
clubs came to Salinas and guaranteed that they
would have their respective teams play Just
the same as they would If contesting for su-
premacy in a championship contest. 1t was
only after this was understood that they were
given, 1t were, the sanction of the local
parlor of the N S. G. W. as 1t was the pur-
pose of the people of this city that their guests
should have this form of amusement at it's
best. Balsz and Donlin, the regular pitchers
