OF THE
FEARINE PARADE

The main topic of conversation along
the water front yesterday was the mag
nificent day and night display on the bay in
honor Of the returning volunteers. 1t was
the consensus of opinion among shipping
men that no such exhibition has ever been
witnessed anywhere and Commodore
Spreckels was the recipient of numerous
compliments for the consummate skill
with which he supervised the water pa
rade. 1t was entirely owing TO his able
management that the proceedings went
off without single accident, and the fact
is noteworthy.

much money would be turned over to the
executive committee as proceeds from the
excursion boats, replied that a conServ-
ative estimate would be between $1,000 and
$4,000, and he would not be surprised II the
latter sum would be exceeded.
"All the returns are not yet in said
Mr. Herold, but we anticipate that all
the tickets have been sold. There were
about 5000 tickets printed. so the sum may
be easily calculated.

hands the bay display was placed, are
iubilant at the outcome, and they desire
