Foreign Warships
Visited BY Crowds

The crowd that overran the water
front yesterday after the parade played
no favorites in their selection of for
eign warships to visit From the Noord-
brabant to the British cruiser Bedford
they stormed every floating fortress,
and their hosts the men behind the
guns, allowed them to go as far as
they liked.
They poked their heads into the big
guns and said boo" to the torpedoes.
They damned the turrets full of pret
ty girls and their escorts and caused
a small panic in the Noordbrabant's
tireroom by hollering "Oh, you kidr'
down the speaking tube reserved for
the use of the executive officer. On
the Arcona they made the officer OF
the deck pose for his photograph.
Housewives found much to admire in
the spotless kitchens of the warships,
and their sons and daughters dehed
dangers and conventions by climbing
into crows nests and other places of
great elevation and difficult of access.
The customs inspectors detailed to
prevent the overcrowding of launches,
saw to it that the limit imposed by the
government was not exceeded, ana the

IpORTOLA PAINTING
IS FAMOUS CANVAS
Exhibited in Market Street
Window of Call Office to
Passing Crowds
from Brush of Emile Pissis 1t
Won Prize in Art Com
petition

The magnificent painting commem-
orative of Gaspar de Portolas discov-
cry of San Francisco bay, exhibited this
week in the Market street window OF
The Calls business Office, is the work
of Emile Pissis, and is well remem
bered on this coast as the painting
that won the third prize in the Mark
Hopkins Institute of Art competition
in 1887.
The scene chosen by the artist is
taken from the foothills of San Mateo
county, about where the Fourteen Mile
house now stands. 1t is looking out
over the bay toward Mount Tamalpais
and the Oakland and Berkeley shores.
representing the view of the bay as it
would first be seen when rounding the
crest of the low rolling foothills south
of the county line.
The principal figures are Don Gaspar
de Portola and Franciscan monk,
mounted on horseback, and near them
is an interested group of followers
and Indians, completing the picture. A
noticeable feature is the costuming,
which is quite different from many of
the portrayals of the Spanish explorer.
His suit of buff is finished by slouch
hat, in striking contrast to the many
paintings that represent him with a
helmet. That, the artist explains, was
his conception of the scene. Which was
of later date than. the period of the
helmet wearing Spanish conquistadores.
The canvas is painted in a very light
key, with the typical foreground set
ting of the California landscape. the
scrub brush, the rocky soil and the
wind beaten oaks in the distance.
The picture was painted for the art
institute competition in 1897. The
first prize was won by Arthur Mat
thew's canvas, done in different tone
and showing the survivors of the ex-
pedition exhausted and forlorn. The
second prize was won by Keith, whose
painting was more of landscape and
sunlight study. Both of these canvases
were lost in the fire, while Pissis only
eSca ped by the merest chance.
After the awarding of the prizes in
1898 Pissis presented his famous paint
ing to the Red Cross society as his
contribution for the raising Of funds
for the wounded at the time of the
Spanish-American war. 1t was sold
tion and was purchased by Ernest
Haquette.
At the time of the fire Pissis' paint
ing was one of the few saved by Mr..
Haquette. and has since been at his
country home in Belmont. 1t was the
only work by Emile Pissis, in fact,
that escaped the confagration, and is
the more valuable on that account.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Ha-
quette it will be exhibited all this week
