When the lights were turned on at the
ferry shortly before 10 o'clock, the effect
in double sense, was electrical The
crowds that had gathered on East street
let up one great YELL which was repeated
and carried uptown, causing everybody
on Market street to turn to be rewarded
by a sight of the most beautiful night
spectacle ever produced in the city.
And that's only one end of it. No won
der the decoration committee works and
small wonder it should be proud of its
efforts.
Everybody has seen Hermann and other
prestidigitators produce three kinds of
wine from the same bottle, but it has re-
mained for the citizens decoration COM
mittee to make palm leaves, Christmas
trees and graceful dracaenas sprout from
one and the same telephone pole, or lamp
post, as the Ncase might be. They have
done it. however, and nothing like it has
ever been seen before in any other city
and despite the oddity of this sudden
burgeoning, no prettier effect to judge
even now at the uncompleted stage, could
be imagined.
The work of putting in place the world
of palm, Christmas tree branches and
dracaena, willingly donated by the entire
State for the identification of San Fran
cisco, was begun yesterday morning,
when 135 Colorado volunteers came in
from the Preside to put themselves un>
der the orders of the decoration commit
tee. They were divided up into squads
provided with new hatchets and nails,
and, under the direction of the florists of
the city, who had also volunteered their
services, started to transform Market
street into a tropical vista.
How well they succeeded was seen last
night by the thousands and thousands of
people who crowded that thoroughfare to
note the march of preparation. Along the
south side, from the ferry to Tenth
street, not a lamppost or telephone pole
that had not been converted into very
fair representation of a tree. On the
north side, from East street to Ellis, a
similar beautiful effect had been secured.
The work will be completed to-day. The
beauty of this leafy decoration is en-
hanced by wreaths and bunting and flags
on the buildings on each side, to place
which the owners have gone to much
trouble and expense.
The decoration of the ferry building,
inside and out, is progressing rapidly.

LIGHTS CLEAN ON
DOME AND TOWERS

The citizens decoration committee had
an opportunity last night to judge of the
effect Of the electrical display which they
have provided on the City Hall dome and
ferry depot tower The current was turned
on at the City Hall about $50 o'clock, large
crowds being gathered on the surrounding
streets. The burning out of a fuse de-
layed the illumination, but in a short time
it was replaced and the lights were found
to work beautifully. although they were
not turned on for any length of time, as
the committee was even then due at the
ferry building.

with dray on Folsom street, near Sew

the laundry rig ran away. Two girls
were crossing the street, and to save them
from being run over Fauret jumped upon
the shafts and grabbed the reins, which
had been dropped by Hondeville. He sue
ceeded in stopping the runaway, but both
he and Hondeville were thrown to the
ground. They were taken to the Receiv-
ing Hospital, where Fauret was found to
have received several scalp wounds, while
Hondeville was badly bruised about the

A Fight With a Jaguar.

The upsetting of a jaguar's cage up
set all Hampstead, L. l., recently, and
a famous tiger hunt ensued, in which
two dogs were almost chewed to bits
and several employees of La PEARLS cir
Gus were badly clawed before the beast
was captured.
A big crowd of spectators were
watching the transfer of the animals
from the circus wagon to freight cars
in the railroad yards for shipment to
Glen Cove, when the jaguar's cage was
upset and the door flew open.
When the big cat step majestically
out there was a chorus of yells, and
the landscape was alive with flying
golf-stockinged legs. The jaguar got
under a lamp post, and in tiger talk
dared the world of Hampstead to come
on. A couple of dogs that had never
before made the acquaintance of a
jaguar took up the def, and the fur
flew. Most of it was dog hair, though,
and when they got through their mann
mas would not have recognized the
dogs.
Then a lot of the circus employees
took a hand Armed with clubs and
ropes, they fell upon the beast, and
after a hot fight it was beaten into sub-
mission, lassoed. and returned to its
cage. Several of the employees will bear
the marks of the jaguar's claws for
weeks But Hampstead was reassured
and the national games of golf sand
lawn tennis will go on there as usual
