That the estimates of the Portola

is evidenced by the calculations of the
passenger officials of the railroads run

committee estimated that more than

japanese Banners
Symbolic Strength

japanese banners. representing the
carp, the symbol of Nippon for valor
and strength, typical of San Francisco.
are part of the general contribution
made by the japanese of San Fran
cisco toward the success of the Por-
tola fete There are 10 of the ban
ners hung in Union Square, the gift
of George .shima. who imported them
from Japan. They are 40 feet long, a
greater length than is usually seen in
Nippon.
With the carp banners in Union
square are banners of long. cylindrical
form and two small windwheels.
K Saito of the Japanese consulate,
speaking for Acting Consul General
Matsuzo Nagai, has picturesquely de-
scribed the import of the carp stream
ers He points. out that the carp is
a fish with marvellous strength in its
tail fin, which enables it to make a
dash of many feet at a single stroke
and to climb waterfalls of greater
height than can be accomplished by
any other fish.
'The carp, therefore" he says, "is
regarded by the Japanese as a symbol
of valor, and on the holiday for boys,
which occurs on the 5th of May, every
house which has a boy floats the
streamer of carp at the top of staff
erected in the front of the house which
symbolizes the wish that the boy may
have sound growth and an undaunted
career in manhood. The same senti-
ment is meant to be conveyed by the
contribution of the carp streamers to
the city of San Francisco"
In addition to the banners and
streamers illustrative of Japanese
usage the japanese of this city will
introduce in the civic parade float
representative OF the Spirit of the
Cherry Blossom and they will make
displays of daylight and night fire.

ing Civilian Dress.

New York.-For Is minutes the
other day ii was an open question
whether George Tillott or Roxy, an
Irish terrier, was general foreman of
the Long Island railroads trolley sys-
tenn at Huntington, L. 1.
Roxy is the Long Island railroad
mascot. He formerly belonged to Will
liam H. Baldwin, Jr., president of the
road, and after Baldwin died the dog
was adopted by every man in the serv-
ice who wore a uniform. The reason
those in civilian dress did not adopt
him was because Roxy would have
nothing to do with them.
Tillott, not knowing Roxy was
there started to go into the main Of
fee of the trolley line New Years day.
Seeing he was in plain clothes, and
deeming him an intruder, Roxy i'm
mediately stood on guard and showed
by his savage barking and display of
white and well-set teeth that there
would be trouble if the foreman per-
sisted in his purpose Of entering. Til
lott tried to coax the terrier.
The animal did not know him, and
not until the foreman had gone back
10 the trolley tracks and got uni
formed man would the dog permit him
to enter his own office. After Tillott
put on a uniform coat the dog made
friends with him at once.
Roxy goes all over Long Island on
tho trains and trolley oarc Whom
ever he is seen he is made welcome
by the trainmen, the same as they
did when the dog used to accompany
Baldwin on his tours of inspection
Now, however, they share their lunch
es with the dog, and the station men
see to it that he has the warmest
nook by the stove at night.
