FLAG RAISING
IN THE PARK

Fully 80 600 people celebrated Dewey day
in Golden Gate Park. Captain Thompson
chief of the park police, declared that
considering the wind that was disagree
able in the extreme, the crowd was one of
the largest on record. The wind blew a
gale, and the dust from the roadways and
footpaths blew in blinuing clouds but the
crowd did not care. 1t was out for fun
and incidentally to honor the hero of Ma
Mia Bay by having as much personal
pleasure as possible.
The feature of the day in the park was
the raising of the flag recently presented
to the park by the crew of the McCulloch.
This was done at the music stand by the
police of the park under the direction Of
Superintendent John McLaren As the
beautiful folds of Old Glory were caught
and tossed by the breeze, the band played
The Star Spangled Banner" the crowd
sent up a mighty volume of cheers, and
there was a prolonged cheering when
some one proposed three cheers for Ad-
miral Dewey. The pole from which the
new flag was raised was not tall enough
to serve its purpose and whenever the
wind died down it's beautiful folds reached
to and dragged upon the ground
The flag, was raised at o'clock. After
the band had played THE Star Spangled
Banner" it rendered its usual concert.
Yesterday the programme in honor of the
occasion was particularly elaborate and

The music stand was not the only center
of attraction for the great crowd The
children's playground was simply crowded
with little ones, who made the day a gala
occasion Fully 1000 people visited the
museum while the conservatory and. the
other various places Of interest were Wis
tied by thousands. The crowd began to
wend it's way homeward shortly after
O. clock, and two hours later the park was
almost entirely deserted There were no
runaways and only one serious accident
was reported during the day. Two lost
children were also reported at the police
station, but they were subsequently found.

itself inspires courage even in timid
hearts, and the preservation of the
memory of great days in the life of a
nation tends to keep the fires of pa
triousm continually glowing. TINS
truth has been recognized by the set
ting apart for patriotic purposes of
such days as WashingtonS birthday
Memorial day and the Fourth of July
Not since the Civil War has any event
exercised so powerful an influence in
American history as Admiral Dewey'S
decisive victory over the Spanish fleet
on Mayday of last year. Mayday al
ways a day of festival, thenceforth
contained for us q new meaning On
that day the prestige of American
arms. long while fallen into disrepute
among the nations, was restored
by the great admiral to it's
pristine glory. never again to be abat-
ed or diminished; and on that day he
gave to the American people a splen-
did Eastern empire. the marvellous
possibilities of which we cannot at
this time even dimly comprehend.
To rename the day thus made so mo-
mentOus to us and place it in the call
endar of days to be especially remem-
beTed and observed by patriots was
both graceful and appropriate. That
honor belongs to the Pacific Coast AS

THE COLUMBIA
SQUARE SALUTE

A salute to Dewey from an enemy's gun
and a concert by the Second Regiment
Band were the magnets that drew thou
sands yesterday to Columbia square, one
of the citys prettiest breathing spots, be-
tween Folsom and Harrison and Sixth and
Seventh streets.
The gun is a brass 5-pounder. muzze-
loading, and bears the arms of vanquished
Spain. From its muZzle is supposed to
have issued forth the first shot at Dewey's
feet as it steamed past Corregidor Island
on that fateful 1st of May to deal destruc
ton to the Spanish fleet. The shell it
threw passed between the flagship and
the cruiser Baltimore. By reason of the
fact that this cannon gave the signal for
the battle which followed its position was
marked, and when the American COM
mander took possession of Corregidor he
singled out this gun and sent it to Amer
lea to the committee having in charge the
erection of a monument to the sailors of
the Maine
The cannon was placed a little to the
west of the center of the square, with a

lean nation, not to any one State
Vermont can no more claim Dewey as
hers than can Virginia claim Wash
ington, or Illinois Lincoln and Grant.
Dewey fought for his country, won for
his country. and ne belongs to the
whole country. He mad to be born
somewhere. and he is not to blame for
being born in Vermont, it is good
State to be born in.
Dewey made himself famous not
alone because he destroyed the Span
ish fleet. but rather bv the way he did
it. He fearleSsly attacked the com
bined land and naval forces of Spain.
and, after silencing one, he destroyed
the other. 1t was his audacity of at
tack his wisdom in action his rapid
ity and accuracy Of movement, and
above all. the personal bravery of
himself, his officers ana his men which
stamp this naval battle among the
great achievements OF this time and
possibly of all time. With European
people there was a doubt about the
efficiency of our navy. 1t had been
referred to as good to look at and
our officers and men as fine speci-
mems to display uniforms on" But
Dewey's victory settled this question
at the very beginning of the Spanish
war and the world found out what
American sailors were for.
Events which this generation did not
control led up to this war. Since the
dawn of the worlds history civiliza-
tion has moved westward. During the
