The Dewey Fete and Flower Carnival

The Dewey Fete and Flower Carnival
Which was held in Sacramento, MAY
1st was a success worthy of the state of
California, one of the. finest demonstra-
tions the city ever beheld. Nearly every
citizen took part in the celebr alton in
some way. All public buildings, stores,
and MANY private residences were deco
rated with flags and bunting and the
picture of Admiral Dewey was to be seen
everywhere. Only the state of California
could so lavishly make use of roses, lilies
and other choice flowers, which massed
together made a perfect wilderness of
blossoms. The celebration was gottonup
with not little of the Dewey spirit, by
the Native Sons and the Native Daugh-
ters of the state, who spared nothing in
labor or expense to make it a success.
The procession formed in front of the
State Capitol which made beautiful
background to the moving panorama of
bright colors, The procession which was
more than a mile in length, was headed
lice following, and there were several
bands of music in the parade. The Cap
itol City wheelmen turned out over fifty
members and fully 100 of it's 300 members
were in the ranks of the Native Sons.
Then came the carriage of the May Queen
who was chosen by vote of some 5000
tickets, she was drawn by white horses,
the whole turnout covered by choice
white roses. A carriage of nodding,
feathery Pampas grass plumes from south
ern California, was one of the most beau
tiful in the parade, several carriages con-
tanning young ladies in bright red, with
American beauties covering the outfit,
these in blue with banks of bluebells
and next came California's golden flower
huge van drawn by six white horses
with floats of orange ribbons and small
flags, in which was seated the first May
queen of the city in the year 1858, with
bevy of smiling, gaily dressed girls.
These were followed by carrv-alls, two
wheeled carts, phaetons, tallyhos and
stately carriages containing the City
Council, the Mayor, native sons and
daughters and other notables. A pleas
ing feature was manifested here and
there along the line by the spectators
who showered flowers and stars of red,
white and blue upon the parades. There
was an extensive program carried out at
Oak Park, one of the suburbs, in the af-
ternoon where was the crowning of the
Queen and dancing about the May pole
by bevies of children. The Queens re-
ceptiou and carnival of athletic sports,
foot ball, base ball and dancing on large
platform built for the occasion. 1t was
estimated that over 1900 people were at
the Park. California papers say that the
celebration was general in all the large
cities and towns throughout the state, in
honor of the victor at Manila, May 1st,
1898. NJ. A. H.

Capt. Clark IN Boston.

Capt. G. E. Clark was royalty enter
tanned while IN Boston. Friday even
ing he was given reception and ban
auet by the association of California
Pioneers, and Saturday evening the
Vermont Association gave him a re-
ception from S till II o'clock. He re-
ported for duty at the League Island
Navy Yard near Philadelphia Tues
day. The Boston Journal speaking OF
his visit editorlally said:
1t is evident that Capt. Clark, who
brought the Oregon around South Amer
lea, is close second to Admiral Dewey
in the hearts of the patriotic citizens Of
Vermont. Small wonder! The man who
wasn't afraid of the whole Spanish fleet
proved his sterling worth often enough
Boston is glad of its chance to greet Capt
Clark of the Oregon.

A Bank Dividend in Sight.

At the opening of the May Germ Of
the Supreme court at Montpelier Tues.
day, the opinion of the court in the
case relative to the preferred claims in
Bradford Savings Bank and Trust Co.
was read by Judge Start, the decision
being that there are now no prefer
ences and the assets of the Bank are
to be distributed pro rata.
In many respects this is better for
all concerned than If the court had de-
cided there were preferred claims as it
simplifes the work of distributing the
cash in the Receivers hands, and
makes the day when per cent can be
paid to the creditors much nearer at
hand than if the court had allowed
the preferred claims.

The Hero of the Oregon.
(Vendome Reception, Mag 6, 1899

The hero of the Oregon,
A welcome guest tonight,
Among the bravest of the brave,
We honor with delight.
His matchless voyage goes on and on,
A worldwide view commands,
The argosy, the danger line
Stern vigilance demands.
Aloft the starry banner floats,
Beats high each loyal heart
To meet the foe, the battle join
And share the victor's part.
The strife is on! The Oregon,
OF peerless speed and might,
Undying echoes from the shore
Wakes-foremost in the fight.
While all our mighty battle ships
Belch burning shot and shell,
In their terrific fury voice
The demon rage of hell.
The God of nations gives success,
Environs them about,
Is in the prayer that Philip makes,
And in the victor's shout.
His mothers God keeps covenant
With her and with her son,
Is in the sleepless vigilance,
The loyalty that won.
Toss hat and whoop for Captain Clark
So modest, brave and true,
New glory to the flag he gives,
The red and white and blue.
The hero of the Oregon
Has won immortal fame,
On her eternal battlement
Emblazoned stands his name.

The Ayrshire Breeders association
have issued their ear Book of the
Ayrshire Breeders" for 1899 and it
contains much information concerning
this breed of cattle. The Ayrshire is
a useful COW and this association feels
that the general interest in these cat
tie is growing, judging from the in
creased entries in the herd book and
the number of letters received asking
for information in regard to the breed.
c. M. Winslow & Son of Brandon
make a speciality of this breed and
their herd on exhibition at the state
fairs has always attracted much atten-
ton. A record is kept of the milk
from each COW and if the animal does
not come up to an established test it is
disposed of.

The Lean Woman Won.

AS the car reached the cross
ing the fat woman and the lean
woman both made a rush for the
steps but the lean was crowded
back to second place. She felt tput
out abont it, but could have
overlooked the matter if the fat
woman hadn't pumped down
on the seat she meant to take
and stuck up her nose at her
hat. The lean woman got red
in the face, and put on a sneer
at the fat woman $ spring jacket.
Then the fat woman looked
down at the lean woman's we'll
worn shoes and uttered snort.
1t was the lean woman's turn
now, and she gaZed mt the fat
woman's pudgy fingers and
elevated her eyebrows. 1t was
IA duel to the death. and the fat
woman muttered to herself:
"Oh. | forgot, This is Thurs
day afternoon. and all the ser
want girls are OUT
That was almost Knockout
for the lean woman, but she
presently rallied and shot back
with:
"And perhaps you are looking
for new place.
That evened things up. and
the fat woman was racking her
brains TO find something mean
er yet. when an old man sitting
beside the lean woman felt il
his duty to champion her cause,
and turned and said:
Don't say another word
ma am. She'll never wear
bloomers, nor ride Il bike;
they re not for such as She
That settled it. The lean
woman cuddled up and purred
and smiled like a cat in the sun,
and the fat woman gave the
old man one awful look and
then turned away to chew the
cud of defeat.
