third and then Allen won, while in the fourth the
Yale man had the at 30 In his favor and
yet his antagonist finally got II.
The NTH set exciting struggle. Allen had
played a match In the morning and had the adj
vantage OF being stronger but the light so
bad on one side OF the court the sun neared the
horizon that the player at the other side OF tho net
had a distinct advantage. The good side won each
time up to "a for Allen and then the Yale man
held the vantage stroke, and needed only point
for the match. After a long rally he finally drove
out Of court and Paret captured the game, tieing
the at sail. The vantage game went TO the

life. Hardly had the different COM
panies been assigned their quarters
when the visitors began to flock in and
pay their respects to officers and pri-
Yates alike. Lunch was the first vart-
alton in the days camp life and
it was eaten in the regiments

ception of San Francisco had put
the men in good spirits and gen

with soldiers gathered in groups on the
sands, crowds of visitors blocking the
approaches to the tents.
Much concern was felt by the officers
of the regiment on account of the
weather A heavy, gusty wind tore
holes in the sand and made it extreme
| ly disagreeable for a first day in camp.
A thick fog rolled in from the straits
at the same time and the canvas-cos
tuned soldiers just returned from the
tropics sought warmth in heavy mill
tary top-coats. The threatening ele-
ments, however, could not dampen
their soldier enthusiasm over the pros
pect of a two weeks stay in San Fran
CISCO They shivered and they shook,
but all seemed happy.
At 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon a gen.
eral assembly of the regiment in the
west end of the parade grounds was or
dered by Colonel Summers for the
purpose of presenting Governor Geer to
the regiment. The men were summoned
by the blast Of trumpet, formed into
companies and marched unarmed to
the place of concentration.
Governor Geer, attended by his staff,
took his stand in the front of the regi-
ment close to Colonel Summers. The
commanding officer after few words
of cordial thanks to the people of San
Francisco for the glowing reception ac-
corded his fighters, introduced the Gov
ernor.
"On account of the extreme unpleas-
antness of the weather" said the Gov
ernor, Il will not keep you here long.
All wish to say to each and every one
of you boys of Oregon is God bless
| you We have had a most royal recep-
ton at the hands of California, but
there is one unpleasant feature that
mars your return. 1t is that you are
to be mustered out on the soil of Cali
fornia and not in Oregon.
II and my staff came down especially
| to receive you, thinking that you would
remain here but a day or two and then
return to your native State. I was sur
prised to learn that it was the desire of
| the regiment to be mustered out in San
| Francisco, and I did all to secure the
| fulfillment Of your wishes. thank the
people of California for all they have
done for you, but this reception would
only be shadow compared to that
which Oregon will give you If you re-
turn as regiment. From the valleys
and the mountains the people of your
! State, upon which you have conferred
great renown. will flock together to

ing put on ten extra cars on the jack
son and Powell-street lines of the Mar
ket-street Railway and gave the use
of ten more free of all charge, in addi-
ton to furnishing 100 free tickets for
the soldier boys. Five hundred free
tickets were supplied by the Califor-
nia-street line and a like number by
the Preside and Ferries, making more
than enough for all needs. The COM
mittee in charge of the reception, in
addition to these favors, expresses its
thanks to Manager Vining, J. b. Stet-
son and George w. Newhall for the
manner in which their roads handled
the crowds during the day.

the soldiers smiled and shook hands
and looked pleased-which was all very
unsoldierlike, but very natural under
the circumstances.

homemade oscuIatory sallies and
hasty retreats.
While these pleasant passages on the
journey were being recorded Major
General Shafter and his staff, who had
ridden from Black Point, took up their
stand on Van Ness avenue at Bush
street. With the commanding general
of the department were Colonel w. H.
Forwood, Lieutenant Colonel J. 3.
Babcock, Lieutenant Colonel J. NJ. Mar
shall, Lieutenant Colonel NJ. P. Maus,
Major R. H. Noble, Major S. w. Groes-
beck, Major H. Gallagher, Major
George f. Downey, Major D. f. Ray,
Major H. L. Rees and Captain Frank
Green. Brigadier General Warfeld. n.
G. c., in civilian clothes, was also at
the stand.
The avenue, as it always does, pre-
sented a beautiful appearance. Por-
tions of all the downtown crowds had
moved up to join everybody and his or
her friends in their windows, on the
steps and sidewalks and in their trees.
The decorations were beautiful and
profuse. Pacific street was elbowing
the south of Market on the common
ground of patriotism and doing it's best
to go it one better in the way of out
burst. Each rivaled the other in its
shoutings as the head of the line came
in view and they kept at it till the last
man had disappeared over the hill.
1t was 10 o'clock before the strains of

moments the carriages containing Gov
ernor Geer and his party drove up in
front of the commanding general, who
saluted bareheaded, the Oregon execu-
tive barring his head in return.
The carriages of the gubernatorial
party took up positions on Bush street
above the avenue just as the head of
the Oregon regiment reached the stand.
There was an added burst of cheering
to that he and his men had been given
on the way when Colonel Summers sa-
luted and rode on.
Company after company, with arms
at port, the men of Oregon passed the
reviewing officer, who was loudly
cheered as he saluted the colors. On
and on they passed and with them their
escort, until the last rattle of artillery
wagons was lost in the distance, the
first step in the public reception of the
Oregonians ending where the Preside
began.
