Light. music, laughter, Kaleidoscope

CROWD REACHES THE
HEIGHT OF GAYETY
IN FILLMORE STREET

Fillmore street pulsated with the life
of happy throngs that surged from end
to end OF the brightly lighted thorough
San Franciscans celebrating the pass
ing of one year and the incoming of
another made a merry din.
Cavorting, jostling, dancing, singing
glad withal--the mass of humanity,
intent on gaining the full quota of
harmless fun. turned the street into
one grand pavilion of funmaking.
The JOY OF life was not to be re-
strained Even dyspeptics smiled and
messenger boys hurried on their err
rands. Mirth effervesced. Whatever
sorrow there fas for the death of 1909
was lost in the glad welcome of 1910.
NIGHT BECOMES DAY
Night was robbed of its wonted VIC
tory; there were no somber shades in
Fillmore street last night. The artistic
arches with their huge globes hanging
from the center shed a radiance over
the throng that dispelled the shadows.
The windows of the busy shops along
Fillmore street also added to the light
ing of the street. An endless stream
of automobiles with blazing headlights
lent their mite to the general bril-
liancy.
With the coming of evening the
crowds began to find their way into
Fillmore street. BY 9 O'clock the side
walks were packed. and by 10 o'clock
the people were surging back and
forth in the street. The Chutes, which
reopened last night. was q great mag
net for the crowds. and thousands
respite from the more strenuous gayety
of the street.
CLOWNS MAKE MERRY
Clown in costume and otherwise
made merry with the throngs All
sorts of fantastic and grotesque char
acters were abroad. but there was lit
tie, if any, rowdyism.
Confetti filed the air, as we'll as
open mouths and ears. The women
picked the men as their targets, while
the gay youths found their delight in
tormenting the many attractive women
in the crowd.
The automobiles added wonderfully
to the din. Many of them had cowbells
jangling along behind them and sirens
and horns footed a rare discord Ser
pentine confetti was popular with the
autofsts. AS they glided along in their
cars they tossed the long streamers of
colored paper into other cars or among
the crowds at the eide of the thor
oughfare.
BANDS ADD TO DISCORD
The attempts of bands to pour forth
melodies for the entertainment of the
merry makers seemed but to add to the
great discord. Rube bands and clown
bands on automobile trucks moved
back and forth along the street and a
large band played for those who as
sembled in Hamilton square. But Ash
horns and cowbells we're PLAYING the
new year melodies and gave forth
much sweeter music TO the crowds en-
tering into the abandon of the revels
than did the musicians.
Fireworks were a feature of the cell
ebration provided by the Fillmore
street Improvement association and al
frequent intervals bombs were sent up
showering their varicolored stars about
the sky.
