Parade Not Without the Big Elephant.


Last but not least was the ingenious
exhibit of the @. s. G. Club composed
of the Boys Quartette. This included
a huge elephant most cleverly impro-
vised by Townsend Jefferson which
consisted of huge shell so made and
decorated that it resambled the real
thing. Two boys bearing it on their
shoulders made the legs and feet of the
elephant. This elephant passed through
thestreets in charge of it's keeper Town
send Jefferson who was also dressed
in Oriental style. The club marched
behind bearing their guns at shoulder
arms. The. elephant was part of the
side show Of the Country Fair and pro-
voked generous applause from all who
saw it. Unfortunately "Jumbo Jr., :"
for this was the elephants name, became
unmanageable and escaped from his
keeper. When captured he was so
weary and foOtsore after his two days
wanderings in the Jungle near the
school house that he refused to pass
before the judges. indifferent to honors
and insisted on making a beeIine for
his tent. He was seen later and pro-
nOunced by all to be the greatest living
specimen Of his kind, showing by his
keen intelligence and clever tricks
that he was Of royal blood and a
worthy descendant Of the House OF
Jumbo. The parade marched from
North and Main street, down Main to
Commerce to Pearl out Pearl to Mt.

Old Maids Club Makes Mighty appeal.

Smyrna's Old Maid Club also shared
a full measure of applause over the
route of the parade. Each member
wearing aregalia "Old Maids Club"
occupied a float that was appropriately
decorated with big red hearts and
flags. Surrounding the float were
these amusing pIacards: Next Year is
Leap Year; "While There's Life
There's Hopes" 'Best Delaware
Peaches;" and "No Lemons in This
Wagon" There was an advertising
display of Mrs. Matte W. Campbell
millinery; the Columbia Photograph;
Edward q. Walls who had two attrac
tive floats, one of the Douglass Shoe
and the other of his clothing store; the
John H. Hoffecker Canning Company
who had an aTtistically decorated float
of their canned goods; and sn adver-
tising display of Boehmler's Bakery;
another float which attracted attention
was that of the Delaware Culvert Metal
Company the new industry of Clayton.
The large metal culverts decorated
with flags made one of the showiest
exhibits in line.

Death of Mrs. Ann Hastings.


Mrs. Ann Caroline Hastings, who died
at San Jose on the 10th inst, and who
was buried in the Sacramento City
Cemetery, was in the early days lead
er in the social life of Sacramento. She
was the wife of B. F. Hastings, whom
she married In Vicksburg, where she
had lived since coming as very young
child with her parents from England.
Her husband came to California in l849
and established at Sacramento the
banking house of B. f. Hastings Il Co.,
whose place of business was on the cor
ner of Second and Streets 10 the build
ing now occupied by the Postal Tele-
graph Company's office. Mrs. Hastings
came to Sacramento in 1852, and was a
social leader in local society in the early
sixties when the Crockers and Stan
fords were coming into prominence,
aud when D. o. Mills and others since
equally known to fame we're familiar
figures in this city's business and social
life. Hastings built and for many years
occupied the finest mansion of the city,
at the southwest corner of Second and
0 Streets. which became subsequently
the home of Judge E. B. Crocker, and
which still stands. Mrs. Hastings made
fifteen trips to Europe, most of them
by way Of the Isthmus of Panama, be-
fore the building of the Central Pacific
Railroad.
In 1871 the Hastings fortune was
swept away through unfortunate invest
ments of Virginia City bank in which
the Sacramento banker was heavily in
terested. Mrs. Hastings showed her
great character in the readiness with
which she adjusted herself to the
changed conditions, and was apparent
ly as happy and contented as before,
finding her greatest happiness, as she
had in prosperity, in contributing to
the needs and comfort of others. She
survived her husband, and in the later
years Of her life lived at San Jose with
her son, J.. Uhler Hastings. Another
sou, Benjamin Hastings, lives in Idaho
The funeral services were held at San
Jose Sunday last, but the interment
here was attended by few friends and
sons and daughters of contemporaries of
the Hastings in Sacramento's history.
