Bisbee daily review., 1909-11-09

Douglas band was in evidence. and feel that the jsgi ession is pardon able s>aen I assert thaS they iii themselves proud and proved the most popular musical combination on the occasion.
 Added to this. wien we arrived, was 8 sweet little orchestra which filled in beautifully between the big bands just mentioned
 When morning came after a night of music and general co-mingling, it would seem that dame nature had laid aside all her numerous caprices and, in deference to the occasion, as signed us a perfect day. The very elements seemed disposed to con tribute 10 the success of this wor- thy demonstration.
 Music from both bands heraidei the approach of the hour when the impressive ceremonies would begin.
 The people poueei ous Iron the big PciSres min $. the cnncI,uJator and power house were shut down and the men str reamcd into ;h1 plaza
 Then came the excursion from Douglas ard other points and the grounds were a scething mass of tI- maniry, and it should be mentioned that not a brawl, nor a drIaken person was in evidence turing the ceremonies. The PEefect oi Mo1c- tezuma was present w.ta ri h,ise- men including as lany ruraies as he could gather.
 The yeranda Of the NacazaIi hotel was black with people and com- mcdious grand stand was filled to overflowing and the kodak fieni was in his glory the whole day long.
 The governor and his party appear cd on the scene at 9:30. and the reading Of eulogies and rendering of ovatoricaI tributes continued until the excursion arrived, waen tho lre- liminary speech was made before the formal act of unveiIing occurred.
 In the meantime the school child- ren of Nacozari put up the finest 5e- tail of the day by performing the drill which they had acquired under the able direction of their professors and teachers. The boys were fully uniformed and carried cartridge box es and toy muskets and did their part beautifully, but I must insist that the girls had them completely out classed.
 The flag drill executed by the girls was simply superb and calls'I for con tinuous applause from every part of the plaza. They were iresse.i in de signs representing the respective col ors of all nations aad carried the flag of the nation corresponding to their costume They even recogni- zed the dragon in this remarkable concourse. Their ground was roped eff and the little beauties were allow ed the field to themselves.
 They first sang in chorus. with the local orchestra accompanying. That carried a most charming effect. the mingIlng of sweet child voices with the incom mparaDle melody of trouba- dour music. and the assembled niln dreds went wild with applause.
 That wonderful music which needs no words to express the sentiments which inspired 1t.
 The girl who represented Uncle Sam. leaving sentiment out, was the prettiest. the most daintily attired ard carried the most beautiful flag in the whole procession. and the applause she received on her apear- ance would seem to impress one thai the people entertained the same idea
 oze Of the school girls about twelve years old made a speech that would do credit to any lady in the land. and the girls carried off the chief honors.
 It is needless to add here for the benefit of certain anti-gringo now lers that the children were not dress ed and drilled that way before the American came.
 Now all was in readiness and the master of ceremonies was prepared to pull the cord that, would disclose to the eyes of an admiriug azd de voted multitude the beautiful shaf; which commemorstes the heroic act at the hands of Jesus Garcia which doubtls saved scores of fires, aa1 left his only as |; memory.
 At a signal the cord was drawn and the veil ss.fiei :,utly and gently about the foot of the mon ument as cheers went up and the ele gant and artistic colunfu appeared to tne expectant observers The monument is of granite, quarried, and the design was executed in Mass achusetts
 From the pedestal it is about twen ty-five feet in height or about twenty five feet above the level of the mesa The shaft is convolut sj and VII artistic. terminating in corinthiai designs at the top.
 The general color is light gray almost white. O the east side | an eaeie executed in bronze. the Mexican emblem representing tn king of birds perched on cactU with a serpe7t in his talons. Jus beneath this in bold -eier is a' beneath tais is told relief of Jesu
