1t is funny how they clear land in this Wild

sung by Parsons, the Chicago anarchist. the
evening before he was hung. The sentiments
and manner of rendering were highly apprc-
ated by all. The discussion OF the evening
was:
Resolved. That it would be better if all So
cialists were united in one party.
The principal speakers were @. +. pelton
and Bge Eddy. Five minute talks were also
given by Lee. Barton, Randolph, Cochran,
Kilmer, Cope and others. d. Burgess read
selection from stephen Maybell's "Civiliza-
ton Civilized. !" tending to show that the idea
of the whole people imperatively demanding
their right from a very few who are called ru-
lers. is a ridiculous position for the people, a.
they themselves already possess that which
they imperatively demand OF their rulers.
The only requisite is to awaken to realiza-
tion of their rights.
Mr. Cope made few remarks explanatory
of plan OF proportional representation.

The San Francisco call., 1899-09-17

Every house was outlined in a hundred
different hues, every fence and post had
its quota of lanterns and each road and
footpath was traceable by the cleaning
splendor that marked its course.
From every butte and hillock, from
every point and headland, there flashed
upward a pyrotechnic volcano that, merg-
ing its hues with those of the chemical
fires that burned on every porch, ascended
and spreading out, formed a glowing
canopy over all
Down in the cove and along the water
front the scene was if anything more
beautiful, and thrice animated. Be
ginning within a few hundred yards OF
the hotel. which for the nonce had been
transformed into a translucent crystal
palace agleam with decorative fires. the
arks strung themselves out along the
Belevedere shore.
Each owner had tried TO outdo his
neighbor in the beauty and artistic effect
of his decorations, and the result was an
ensemble which was as unique as it was
pleasing to the eye No two households
were the same, and none exhibited any
thing but a lavishment Of adornment
which was only limited by delicacy and
good taste.
Through this glittering maze small
launches, rowboats and other small craft
darted hither and thither, conveying Wis
itors this way and that, or, filed with
cav crowd of residents. they simply drift
ed idly about, serenading any one they
chanced to meet with light song or lot
Of eood-natured badinage.
From Belvedere Point to the end of the
Corinthian Club wharf the yachts had
o,,obored in a long chain fencing with
s+rear of light the outer waters OF the
bav from the little cove in which the
nuntial ceremonies were to be performed.
Each yacht had decorated itself in honor
of the occasion and the delicate tracery

YACHTS AND LAUNCHES
VIE WITH WARSHlPS

Never has a larger number of yachts
been gathered in one spot on the Bay of
San Francisco than were moored in Bel
vedere Cove. Every yacht club around
San Francisco contributed nearly its en-
tire fleet, and, besides yachts, the United
States cruiser Marblehead. the torpedo
boat destroyer Farragut, arks, launches,
rowboats and tugs, lent variety TO the
scene. The yachts were moved In triple
line between Wheeler's Point and the Co.
rinthian Yacht Club house, and presented
a pretty sight as they lay at the moor
ings in the bright light of day. But, as
darkness fell, strings of Chinese lanterns
and of fairy lamps lent fantastic beauty
to the spectacle.
The arks were lined from end to end
with lighted lanterns. the most conspicu-
Gus among them being F. BushnelPs
Cuckoo and the large ark of George Wei
lington, the former having festoons of
varicolored fairy lamps above and all
around 1t, and the latter being fllumin-
ated entirely with red lanterns. The tllum-
nation was complete by about $50 p. m.

THE night was without cloud to
shadow the young glory of an adol-
escent moon. The fog had hidden
Itself in the caverns Of the west

70 slumber by the warmth and gentle
ness Of the light breezes that now
anG then caressed them as they passed
nestled still and quiet at the foot OF the
Marin County hill slopes. All nature was
propitious and lent its aid to perfect the
nupual ceremonies as the Doge welded
Belvedere 10 the waters of the bay.
To the perfect harmony of nature was
added the efforts of man, and the Two
blending produced such a scene OF fairy
loVeliness that the Lion OF st. Mark, rous-
Ing himself from the ennui resultant on
the centuries Of splendor he has VIII
messed, gazed upon a pageant such as
ne had never before beheld. pageant
which caused him to flap his very wings
IN an ecstacy Of delight and VOW that
never IN al the magnifcence attendant
upon IhS glory Of the Venetian republic
Aad ne seen anything to equal this.

heavens IN a thousand different colors un-
III the eye OF the beholder became dazzled
with their luster and his mind confused
with the complexity Of their charms.
Through the trees danced and shone
thousands of lanterns, glimmering amid
the shrubbery like huge firefiies, and
here and there long streams of fire, de-
taching themselves from the greater
masses, wound their tort1ous lengths
down the mountain sides to be lost amid
the universal brilliance that met them at

of spar and rigging was outlined against
the clear background of the night by the
glistening lights with which they were
strung. Just outside this line lay the
different steamers and pleasure craft
which had come from the several points
around the bay to witness the celebration.
Still further out, as though to lend the
power of its protection to the happiness
within, lay the shapely 1darblehead, a
huge luminous star, fitting symbol of the
glory of our arms upon the sea, flashing
It's promises of hope from between the
two tall smokestacks.
Seats had been erected on the hill over
the Corinthian Club, and these together
with the private houses, the arks, hotel
and yachts. provided ample accommoda-
tion for the crowds that arrived to par
ticipate in the celebration.
Beginning early in the morning they
commenced to arrive in numbers lust
great enough to comfortably fill the seat
ing capacity CT the regular boats, and
then the rush gradually increased until
they swarmed in in such crowds toward
the later hours that there was not a
square inch of standing room to spare
either on the regular boats or the extra
ones which were specially run for the oc-
casion. Yet such was the excellence of
the management that all were attended
to, each one was made comfortable and
accommodated in every particular. and
among the 1000 visitors who, 1t is esti-
mated were received, not one serious
accident, complaint or altercation was re-
ported.
Precisely at the hour set-9 o'clock-the
wedding ceremonies commenced At sig
nal from a cannon on the hill long pro-
cession of gayly decorated barges started
from Belvedere Point, and moving in
stately procession passed into the cove
and up to the Olympic Club boathouse,
where the Doge's barge was waiting for
The San Francisco call., 1899-09-17

the escort which should conduct him to
his nautical nuptials.
AS soon as the procession reached the
Doge formal salutations were exchanged, f,
and then the gorgeous flotilla, with the
stately Bucentaur in its center, passed
out to the middle of the cove, where,
amid the booming of cannon and the
cheers of the thousands on the hillsides
the espousals were consummated and the
ring dropped in the water, while rockets
with their lurid splendor illuminated the
dark sky, carrying in their wild flight
heavenward thousands of brilliant stars,
which, bursting, showered down upon the
heads of those who, clustering around
the Doge. awoke the echoes with the mel
ody of their voices.
AS soon as the actual ceremony had
been brought to a conclusion the line was
broken and in a minute the cove was
covered with all sorts and conditions of
boats which hurried in and out among
the arks. exchanging greetings with
their owners, and then hurrying away on
some errand of pleasure only to return
in a short time and again accept Of the
hospitality which was lavished on all
sides.
The scene on land was much the same
Every house was open, wide open, and
mirth was the watchword of the night
The roads were filed with laughing men
and happy women. The whole scene was
one of carnival. Carnival partaking of all
the joyousness of the Latin nation and
vet so dignified and free from the stain
of ANYTHING approaching license that
when one left one left nothing to regret.
From inception to conception Beve-
dere's third might in Venice" was an un-
qualified success Nothing was left un-
done and yet nothing was overdone 1t
was as it was and that was exactly as it
should be.
The programme was carried out exactly
The San Francisco call., 1899-09-17

that were to take part in the performance
were assembled near Wheelers Point and
proceeded slowly in double line up the
channel toward the Hotel Belvedere,
where they were Joined by the Doges
barge, which was crowded with an array
of senators and other officials in brilliant
robes of scarlet.
The searchlight on the top of Valentines
Island was kept fixed on the Doge's barge
during the ceremony, at the close of which
the Doge welded the sea by casting a
ring into the waters. The espousal of the
sea being complete and the chorus Love
ly Night having been sung. the boats
and launches passed in review before the
prize committee, consisting of Mayor J..
D. Phelan, Irving NJ Scott, ]. A. Stanton
and Vanderlynn Stow. The prize for the
most beautifully illuminated ark was
awarded to F. Bushnell's Cuckoo; for the
most beautifully Illuminated yacht to E.
F. Sagars sloop Edna, for rowboats to
Mr. Dohrman and for the best house to
j. NJ. Mattoon.
The sloop Edna had an electric plant on
board, which served to illuminate trans
parencies representing the stars and
stripes and the Union jack, and to throw
into brilliant relief the letters of her
name. ]. NJ. Mattoons house was nota-
BILE for the dome which had been erected
above it in imitation of the dome of the
new City Hall.
A few rowboats carrying no lanterns
managed to get within the inclosed space,
but on the whole the patrol was most eff
fectively kept, and the whole perform
ance passed off without hitch or mis-
hap. The United States cruiser Marble
head kept her searchlight in constant op-
Grafton and displayed beautiful electric
star. The Farragut anchored consid-
erably farther out than the cruiser, but
was even more prettily decorated. her
sides, tunnels and masts being outlined
The San Francisco call., 1899-09-17

with electric lights
Noticeable among the craft fitting
about the cove was the launch Imp. which
had line of electric lamps from stem
to stern and a windmill revolving in her
bow.
Among the yachts drawn up in triple
line across the cove were the following:
The schooners Lurline, Aggie, Azalene,
Bonita, White Wings. Ramona, Wave,
the yawls .Tramontana, Frolic, Spray,
Phyllis, Ripple, Arcturus, Naiad, Mer-
ced, Seven Bells, Idler, Diana. Witch.

Cygnus, Thetis, Juanita, Occident, Gyp-
sic, Pactolus, U & 1, Embla, Jessie E.
Among the launches were the Alberta,
Gazelle, Athlete, America, Augusta, Gym
thia and Gypsy.
Besides the illumination of houses on
the shore, of arks, yachts, launches and
rowboats on the water, searchlights
from the United States cruiser Marble
head and the hill above the Corinthian
Club house, many rockets were sent up
from a barge moored in the cove, and col
ored fires lighted at intervals on the arks
made bright splashes of color on the
waves.
The following are the principal arks and
their owners or charterers: Jenkins and
McGregor's Edna NJ, w. ]. Wilder's CO.

on time and not one single item was over
looked. When the piece had been enacted
and the stage was thrown open for all to
caper on they capered with right good
will. But they capered decently, dec
orously, and the searchlights which from
the Marblehead and the top Of Valentine
Hill played upon the revels until the
dawning of another day dimmed their
brightness discovered nothing which one
would have wished to omit from "a
Night in Venice"
