Pursuant to the order of the coun-
ty commissioners, workmen last
week began remodeling the court
room so that it will be hard to recog-
nize it as the same room it has been.
AS it will appear hereafter, the
judges platform, clerks desk and
jury box will be on the east side of
the room, opposite the main en-
trance, instead of on the north end,
as before Contrary to first impress
sions of most people, this will haye
the effect of increasing the seating
capacity of the hall, and it is be-
lieved that it will do much to correct
the rather poor acoustics of the
room, which has been complained of
in the past. There is not much
doubt of the new arrangements be-
ing an Improvement in the matter of
lighting, the windows now being
altogether on the sides of the room
instead of at front and rear.

Carnival Spirit Rampant

There was little reminder of the one
time desolation of the city that the
marching men saw. At Marshall square
was built a grand stand, which held
1000 cheering folk. Behind them lay
the ruins of the city hall. holes in the
earth, piles of dusty brick, a fragment
or two of the steel that once sup
ported a towering done--a dome which
was always brightest with lights at
the time of the city,s festivals. It was.
a sorry spot yesterday, but the people
lin the grand stand did not think of it,.
They thought of the marching men,,
of the brilliant etourage of Don Gas
par de Portola, of what the festival
signified, of a city rebuilt and vehe-
1nent with its new life and the joy of
its rebirth. No. the old ruins of the
city hall were forgotten.
From Market passed throngs that
massed as thickly and cheered as lust
lily. the parade swept into Van Ness
avenue and then down Golden Gate.
While the men were at rest in the
streets waiting the hour to approach
Union square; the Church bells of the
city rang out the angelus and the
whistles of the city's mills took up
the note in thanksgiving of San Fran
cisco rebirth. 1t was the hour at

Germany followed, with the war
eagle in the fore. For the ediffcation
of the multitude the Germans would
at times execute their quaint goose

City Greets Explorer

AS the prototype of our hero of this
week was early on the scene of San
Francisco bay. so yesterday the rein
carnated governor was early at Mission
street wharf. But the city was ready
for him. BY that time the sun was
really out and the clouds were but
loiterers, ordered TO report behind the

festival, which, like unwelcome guests,
they were threatening to spoil direly

and there was no rancor. Why. the town

and those sailors of the foreign fleet

square, were the Japanese. the race
against which we have been accused
of harboring animosity. 1t was a gen
erous host that San Francisco was yes
terday, and no capital was made of
that generosity; 1t was spontaneous,
and when the east met the west on the
VESTS street there was the greeting
exchanged which Kipling says always
passes when two brave men meet.
The swing of the parade was made
quickly from East and Mission streets
into Market Market street was ready.
Overhead were the multitudinous ban
ners of Portola and America, spanning
the broad, clean thoroughfare. With
streamers of bunting, gay, gaudy.

was blowing the clouds head first over

Buildings Part of Show

Those buildings were as much part
of the show as the gallant man on
horseback who was yet to pass them,
or as the golden queen who is still to
view them from her royal float. 1t
was TO celebrate the fact that three
years ago there were ashes and ugly
piles of brick and twisted iron and tall
walls, gaping. with black wounds which
once were windows that the Portola
fete as inspired.
From the curbstone to the tops of
the buildings the crowds were massed.
The police arrangement was ideal.
There was none in the street to inter-
fere with the parade The marching
men might have been as precious as
President Taft, for the streets were
clean of extraneous humanity Cheers
and cheers welcomed the column

United Stats troops, graciousIy leading
the way into the city for the foreign

shoulders, their eyes to the front. while
from the tall Office buildings bright
faced girls gazed in ecstacy at many
square shouldered milftants When
the parade would be stopped the girls
from the high windows would thrown
down gay notes to ltile soldier boys.

street and the girl in the window when
he tossed the note within the line of
