Creatore's Concert.

Creatore and his band gave the first Sum-
day night concert of the season at the New
National Theater last night. There was no
lack Of enthusiasm, every number being
encored. The program, the civilian Tell"
overture, Liszt's Hungarian rhapsody No.
2, and the overture to "Tannhauser," as
well as several numbers of more popular
quality, were given with the spectacular ef-
feet characteristic of this famous leader.
Creatore was not quite so acrobatic as Of
yore, perhaps because his band was in bef
ter discipline, but he was sufficiently active
to satisfy his hearers, and to justify his
claim to the most eccentric but at the same
time the most musicianly Of band leaders.

HONOR, NATIVE STATE
CALIFORNIA; SONS PRAISE THE
GOLDEN COMMONWEALTH.

Native sons Of the golden state and some
of the native daughters of that common
wealth assembled in the rooms Of the Cali
fornia Association at the National Hotel
yesterday and celebrated the ffty-sixth an
niyersary of the admission of California
as state. F. o. Donaghue, president OF
the association. spoke briefly of the events
leading up to the admission Of California,
and Mr.. Redingon and Miss Herring, who
were present in San Francisco during the
earthquake, told of their experiences at
that time. The address of the evening was
delivered by A. ]. Boyer, a member of the
association, in which he detailed the events
connected with the early history Of Cali
fornia, dwelling especially upon the cir
cumstances of the hosting of the famous
BLACK bear flag
The story included a graphic account
of the struggles of the first settlers with
the Mexican army then in possession of the
territory, the coming of Fremont ana the
capture Of Monterey by. Commodore Sloat,
who forestalled the English by just three
days in their attempt to acquire the terri
tory
The "Bblack bear flag" the speaker said.
was unfurled by about 500 settlers who
were forced to fight their way through a
Mexican army in order to reach California
in 1886 The banner was made out of an
ordinary piece of muslin upon which was
a crude picture intended to represent a
grizzly Dear, DuG Wnicn looked mOTc ike d
hog. With the bear flag waving above
them the 500 descended upon Suffer Fort,
which was easily captured.
Recounted Freemont's Deeds.
1t was not long after that. the speaker
said, that fremont, who was then in COM
mand of a detachment of United States
troops stationed in California, forwarded
to Washington his resignation from the
army and cast his fortunes with the army
of settlers. Mr.. Boyer traced the course Of
Fremont and his men in the exciting cam
paign against the Mexicans under Gen.
Castro. Under the Pathfinder" at that
time, the speaker said, were such men as
Kit Carson, Sam Marshall and many other
daring spirits.
In speaking of the capture of Monterey
by Commodore Sloat, in command Of the
frigate Savannah, forestalling similar ac-
ton the part Of the British ship Col
lingwood, Mr.. Boyer related a conversa-
ton said to have taken place between the
American officer and the disappointed Eng
lish commander. In response to questions,
the speaker said, the English officer was
frankly informed by Commodore Sloat that
he had summoned the place to surrender
upon his own initiative. 1t was said that
the commander of the British ship freely
expressed his chagrin at the loss of his op-
portunity, and that he received little to
console him in the replies the American
officer made to his questions.
