Of Enthusiasm

tive California yesterday in their flight TO
San Bernardino and to Arrowhead springs
to celebrate Admission day.
The festivities will continue today at
San Bernardino.
Mayor A. C. Harper and family led the
big party which filled the ten-car special
of the N. 8. G.. w. over the Salt Lake
system, leaving Los Angeles at a. m.
The special train was one of three which
carried Los Angeles e,cursionists to the
big Admission day celebration.
Mayor ]. A. Hanford of San Bernardino
welcomed Mayor Harper and party and
rose nobly to the position of host. The
party included City Clerk Harry Lelande,
Fire Commissioner Tony Schwamm, Fire
Chief Walter Lips and flock of lesser
officials They made hurried trip of the
city hall, fire station and other public
buildings prior to the MONDAY exercises.
Noon Exercises
AS the trip to and exercises at Arrow
head, the baseball game at Meadowbrook
park and the. sacred concert at Urbita
springs were scheduled to take up the
afternoon the local committee had pre-
pared only short program for the noon
exercises. These, given under the direc-
tion of Chairman w. d. Wagner, were as
follows:
Band selection. on.................I.os Angeles band
Address of welcome. e...............A. w Chaffee
Native Daughters. Ida G. Keir
Native Sons... s...........-.............J. C. Kellogg
Pioneers. M. Quinn
Selection. on.......................Los Angeles band
On the special train were Native Sons
from the five Los Angeles parors-La
Fiesta No 236, Sierra Madre No. 2S5. Los
Angeles No. 45. The Native Daughters
parlors, Esperanza and Los Angeles, were
also represented, in addition members of
the Native Sons parlors from Santa
Monica, Santa Barbara, Santa Ana and
the Native Daughters parlors from Long
Beach, Ventura and Santa Barbara ac-
companied the Los Angeles delegation.
Have Jolly Trip
The trip to San Bernardino was a Jolly
one.
Every parlor OF the order had special
badges made, of different colors and as
soon as the committees HAD circulated
through the cars trading had begun.
Every passenger wanted a complete set
of badges and as there were more of
some than of others the exchanges be-
came lively. 1t partook of good natured
speculation.
Some preferred yellow. others lavender,
green blue and then 1t developed that
the reds had run nashert..sSome oner<had
cornered the market or there had been
miscount somewhere.
IL became a risky thing to wear red
badges after that, for feminine barterers
with their sweet smiles would pry them
off the lapels of the men. married or
bachelors. Wise wives put the red badges
in their purses for safe keeping.
Fake Arrests
Much amusement was created en- route
to San Bernardino by the appearance of a
squad of fake officers wearing huge tin
stars, who served warrants on the lead
ing "sons" on trumped-up charges and
fined them from 10 cents up.
The warrants were in this form on
printed blanks:

Typical California Day
Frn was turned loose and dull care
turned to the winds as soon as the van
guard of the Native Sons reached the
Gate City.
The old city was given over to doings
typical of California celebrations, and
the fiesta spirit prevailed
Decorations remarkable for their ex-
TENT. beauty and effectiveness greeted the
ewes of visitors There was not business
house which by placard, bunting window
design or electric device failed to do
honor to the emblem of the bear and the
insignia of the N. S. g. w. order.
Oid.timers said the effect had never
been more fascinating in its general out
line and scope. and the generosity of color
was marveed at by the visitors, who
praised the hospitality to the local COM
mittees.
San Bernardino sent a reception COM
mIttee ahead to Riverside to board the
special train and the Riverside band
PLAYED ''There'n Be a Hot Time in the
old Town as soon as the train slowed
up to permot of the committee boarding
the train. to present the keys to the Gate
City.

tatiyes of the commercial interests. Ma
tive Sons and Daughters and pioneers
were on hand with outstretched hands;
also another band
In front of the depot was line OF
decorated trolley cars ready to whirl
the guests through the city and to Arrow

These were rapidly filled by those anx-
ious to participate in the monday exer-
cises on the mountain.
