2 WELCOMED WITH RED FIRE. Native Sons Capture (lie Pretty Town if bat-bo. MAYOR SURRENDERS GRACEFULLY. A Remit Trip cr. tic Fay a Glorious Time in Bcnor of California Coming Into the Pay Elsewhere.

Special to The Morvi Calu Santa Rosa, Sept. 9. -This highly favored town is bubbling over with the best product of native sons and daughters of the Golden Wen. Every available corner, both indoors ana out, is crowded with them. Pretty girls in holi.

dr.y attire line the ednes of the sidewalks to gaze upon the manly forms of the sturdy sons as they march to and fro with their bright regalia glisteuing in tho sun. dieting estimates place the number at from 40CO to 7000, but official returns from headquarters show that 5000 natives responded to the call to come to and celebrate Admission day as it has never before been celebrated. These figures do not include the daughters, young and old, or the ye tc -an firemen who ran with the machine 75 100 years rtgo and have not forgotten it. There are about 200 of the vets mingling with the crowd, clad in those inflammatory red shirts of the order and the twelvepound hats with rain sheds projecting from the back. They brought their beloved machine along, garnished with a fiesh coat of paint and yards of gaudy ribbon around about the wheels and handles.

It was one of the most attractive features of the parade. if ever Santa Rosa came out strong she did it on this occasion. The visiting natives say never saw anything like It, and the citizens are also well pleased with the result of their efforts. Large sums of money were spent in decorating the town, which is ablaze from one end to the other with rings, banners and bunting of all shades and colors. The --tars and float from the top of all the principal and the window fronts and awning posts along Fourth street, main thoroughfare, are marvels in decorative art.

Side streets are lota gaudy but still earnestly demonstrative in their observance of the day, and such banners as "Welcome." S. G. "Beer Five Cents," greet the eye in cheerful profusion. It required special legislation to keep the saloons open after 12 o'clock midnight, but pressure was brought to bear in the right direction, and nothing has occurred to mar the harmony and general enjoyment of the occasion. The excitement is intense, with brass bands and drum corps on every corner, some playing while others are sparring for wind and dumping the moist melody from the mud valves of their slide trombones.

Few people enjoyed refreshing slumber last night owing to tbe feverish condition of the community. Music, red fire and roman candles taken just before retiring are not always conducive to deep and lasting slumber. Then, besides, those of the delegates who failed to find beds or made no effort to do so remained on the streets ail night and took special pains to apprise the populace of their proceedings. Still, no complaints were made and everybody had what is generally conceded to be a way-up time shaking bands, telling funny stories, singing, smoking cigarettes, walk. inn around and drinking soda water.

The festivities continued all night. Bach hour this excitement increased until 3 a. when the pressure grew tremendous and resulted in the bursting of the water main at tbe corner of Fourth and streets. This was the main artery from the base cf supplies, and, as the break was not repaired until nearly 10 o'clock this morning, the town was plunged into the throes of a distressing water famine at a most Inauspicious time of day. Those who were fortunate enough to have a little reserve water in a tub managed to tideover the depression in tolerable shape, but the delegates and guests at the hotels positively suffered.

Having no premonition of the impending disaster the visitors neglected to fetch tubs of water from home, and were therefore compelled to perform their morning ablutions with a cocktail. MUST THE GROUNDS. A Little Celebration That Finally Grew Into a III; One. Santa Rosa, Sept. The first consignment of delegates to arrive were the Vallejo and noma parlors, which came in at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening over the Southern Pacific.

Vallejo Parlor No. 77, President E. B. Hussey, mustered twenty-five strong, and President Julius Poppe headed the same number from Sonoma. They were met at the depot by the Santa Rosa and Marshal parlors and escorted to the Sonoma County headquarters in the Byington building.

The hall was lavishly decorated with evergreen, varl-colored bunting and large banners with grizzly bears on them. Pending the arrival of the San Francisco delegates these four parlors opened the festivities in a mild way and kept it up until the arrival of the visitors. The usual delay was experienced in getting away from the city and it was nearly 9 o'clock when the bigsteamer Ukiah pulled out from the slip with 1000 excursionists aboard. A goodly portion of these were women and children who came down ahead of the procession and -ecured quarters In the cabin of the steamer for the long and perilous passage across the bay. There were young and old girls, and matrons with babies, 'carrying baskets and bundles of flags, 'flowers and decorations.

The veteran fire' "men were there 125 strong with the old machine, "Young Americ.i," which they guarded with jealous care. When the natives came aboard bedlam broke loose. The young men with drums couldn't keep still, and high above the clamor of tongues sounded the rattle of the snares. San Fran. circo Parlor turned out its Chinese band armed with those instruments of torture with which the musical Celestial is nosed to discourse sweet sounds.

They opened with choice Chinese selections the moment they got settled. Their imitations of Chinese restaurant music were very clever and afforded much amusement. While the boat was pretty HI crowded, yet there was sufficient room for every one except the standard-bearers of the different parlors. These young men early evinced a restless spirit and went roaming around the decks with flag pales, armed with a spear-head at one end, tucked under their arms. No eyeballs were re.

ported missing on the trip, but loud complaints were heard from numerous unfortunates who got prodded in the stomach with the blunt end. Before the bay was crossed the boat out of the fog and into the silvery moonlight which gilded the classic shores "of baron. Some hailed the moon with of great joy but others did not. These were the lovers sequestered in cooing pair, on the upper deck, in the shadow of friendly deckhouses. The moon, which is popularly supposed to Inspire the passion in the human breast, broke up these private seances.

A LIST TO PORT, The Division. That lame in the of Duffieid. Santa Rosa, Sept. Only one incident worthy of note occurred on the trip across tie water. Soon alter starting the boat was noticed to have a decided list to port.

She heeled over to such an extent as to make steering a matter of some difficulty. captain sent the mate below to investi' gate. In a few minutes that official returned with the statement that the ionsided state of affairs was caused by the Duffields. "The what?" echoed the captain. "Duffields.

There's forty-seven of 'em, all sitting in a row on the port side, sir." "Well," replied the captain, reflectively, "you go and tell the Duffields that I'm sorry to break up a happy family group on an occasion of this kind, and ask them if they wont kindly create a division in the ranks till we strike the mole." "Aye, aye, sir," said the mate as he dived below. "Tell them it's an especial favor to me," yelled the skipper as his understudy disappeared from view. The mate delivered the captain's to Llenry S. Duffieid, who was in charge of the party. There were forty- two of them, aggregating nearly three and a half tons of Duffields, all the lineal descendants of George one of San Francisco's most diligent pioneers.

There was Henry and half a dozen or so of bis a few uncles and aunts, some married sisters with large and- interesting of little, auxiliary native sons and daughters, and Mother Duffieid herself, who has never missed a celebration siuce the organization was The climate of California has been conducive to the health of the Duffields, and all have thrived and grown so rotund and rosy that a family gathering on one side of steamer gives her a dangerous list. When the matter was explained to Henry he laughed goodnaturedly and divided the groins, which placed the steamer on an even keel. In order to house his numerous delegation Henry was compelled to wire ahead and charter an entire hotel. WELCOMED WITH RED FIRE. Santa Boa- t- Ilor Guttata From the Gr.

Nt City. Saxta Rosa, At 9:43 o'clock the train pulled out of Tlburon for the run to Santa Rosa. The trip was made without mishap, except the usual misfortune which befalls the inquisitive youth who persists in sticking bis head out of the car window and discovering warm clinkers with the aid of the naked eye. At Petaluma a vexatious delay occurred. It seems that the keeper of the bridge over the raging Petaluma River had not been informed of the special, and the draw was open when the train arrived.

Some time was consumed in swinging it stmt, which delay gave some of the enthusiastic natives a long-sought-for opportunity to scramble out into the municipality of Petaluma and howl for pure unadulterated joy. It lacked but a few minutes to midnight when the double-headed special of fifteen cars pulled into the depot. A wild burst of huzzas and red fire greeted its arrival, mixed with vociferous words of welcome. In fact the pyrotechnic, opened before the train reached town. As she whistled for the station a lone rocket whizzed up from a liayfield about a mil.

to the right of the track, thus giving ample evidence of the fact that the rural native was fully apprised of what was going on in the city. The San Francisco delegation was cordially greeted by Vallejo, Sonoma and the two Santa Rosa parlors and also by the entire population of Santa Rosa, which remained up to witness the demonstration. The local natives were armed with torches and were formed in line iv the middle of the street, facing uptown. The populace was armed with nothing more formidable than good will and cheers, which they delivered spontaneously from the edge of the sidewalk as the visitors marched by. When Marshal John McMinu Jr.

gave the word to start the bands began to play, skyrockets shot across the heavens, large bombs cxDloded in the distance and the procession moved off up Fourth street in a cigantic blaze of glory. As the torch-bearers moved away the procession fed itsslf, as it were, from tho train, and when the van reached the general headquarters the rear was still in the vicinity of the depot. -The visitors were marched to the headquarters, where the room committee undertook the herculean job of finding beds and bunks for the crowd. Hotels and private houses were taxed to their utmost capacity, and late applicants for slumber were alad to wrap their folding cot about them in hallways and on back porches. All who really desired to sleep found quarters, but in the more thickly populated portions of the they did not sleep much.

But then people who seek rest and recreation on occasions of tbis kind are not expected to sleep. CELEBRATING TIIE DAY. The Greatest Time in the Memory of Native Santa Rosa, Sept This morning dawned bright and warm with prospects of more warmth and people later on. Both came until the town was on the point of collapse. Two early trains from San Francisco several thousand delegates, which swells the grind total to between 5000 and GOCO.

These did not include the visitors from Petaluma and the surrounding country. Tbe grand event of the day was the procession, and as the time for the grand turnout drew near the crowd increased. There were so many people that there was not room for them on tne streets, and quite a number were crowded out into the country, but as the line of march covered a wide expanse of territory they all saw the parade, which was the finest ever seen here. They came in all sorts of rigs and vehicles until it seemed that the entire population of Sonoma County was deposited in the streets of Santa Rosa. By noon the streets and sidewalks were impassable, except to people with powerful pointed elbows, and many took to roofs of houses and awnings for breathing space.

Owing to the number of divisions, bands, carriages, to be formed in line the parade was over an hour late in starting, but the crowds good-naturedly waited in the boiling sun. The heat was modified somewhat by a gentle breeze which soughed through the ucdding plumes of the marching sons. Those who suffeied most were the banner-bearers and the drum-majors, who wear a large, round hat like a beer keg with hair on it. The parade was large and imposing, presenting many unique and historical features. Among the latter was a a red, rusty the pioneer cookstove of Sonoma County, which emigrated hither in 1559.

The stove did good service for years, but is now on the retired Hat, an honor seldom accorded to latter-day stoves, which find their way to the junks-hops or scrap pile. Marshal Parlor of Santa Rcsa turned out Edwin L. Forster, Grand Marshal. in black silk neglige shirts and yachting caps. They were a fine-looking body of young men, and were quite popular with the ladies.

Que feature of their part in the parade was a pack mule laden with a complete camping outfit such as was used by the early in crossing the plains. The ox team of 18-19 was also an entertaining feature for the present generation which has been brought up on bicycles and streetcars. Eight lumbering, sad-eyed oxen, with bowed heads and dejected mien, dragged an old-fashioned prairie schooner, filled with little Santa Rosa emigrants sticking out from under the cover in front and behind. Altamont Parlor represented oldtime pioneers on horseback, clad in the miscellaneous garb of the frontier. One of the finest turnouts was Sebastopol Parlor on horseback, wearing huge straw hats.

They also bad a fancy float, containing a handsome display of fruit. The veteran firemen, In two companies, made a fine showing. The long tramp was rather trying to soma of the old men, but they bore up and made the rounds with the youngest of thu marchers. The machines were gayly decorated with flags, ribbons and sundry small boys, who owed their position in the parade to the fact that they were related by marriage to some of the men on the ropes. They were the envy of several thousand small boys whose fathers were not lucky enough to run with the old machine.

A company of mounted Mexicans in their picturesque garb took part in the parade. All the parlors were gotten up in their best uniforms, presenting a varied and dazzling variety. Some of them carried Japanese parasols and managed to keep comfortable. Others sported long linen dusiirs, with the regalia slung over one shoulder. There were twenty-five carriages In line containing officers of the order and distinguished citizens.

M-tTor Woodward Surrenders the Town to Santa Rosa.

Sept. Shortly before 2 o'clock the literary exercises began. The building was packed from top to bottom, and many who sought admittance wore turned away. After a musical selection by the band Hon. E.

F. Woodward welcomed the visiting Native Sous. In the course of his remarks the speaker said: "It becomes my privilege as Mayor of Santa Rosa to extend to you the freedom of the city and the welcome of its people. It lias been Santa Rosa's privilege to entertain many gatherings in the past, among which were those of the Native Sons and Native Daughters of the Golden West. The recollections of those visits have been equaled by the anticipation of the present one, and if on your return to your homes your remembrance of this occasion sball be equal to the great pleasure we have on your being with us to-day, the enjoyment will ba a mutual one, I assure you.

I will not detain you longer, but thank you for your attention, and on behalf or the people I greet you and bid you a cordial welcome to this, their beloved city of roses." J. P. Dockery, chairman of the general committee from San Francisco, was to have responded to the Mayor's address, but was too ill to perform his part. More music followed, and then Miss Addie Murphy recited a selection appropriate to lie occasion. Hon.

R. M. Fitzgerald of Oakland delivered the oration of the day. He dwelt on thi- early history of the organization, the object for which it was formed aud how it should help to perpetuate the honor cf the State. Mr.

Fitzgerald's remarks were listened to with marked appreciation. At the conclusion of the exercises Rev. Joseph Emery dismissed the. assemblage with the benediction. The stage was artistically decorated, among the desiitus being a floral chair, a miniature ship and a grizzly bear.

During the evening teceptions were held at the various headquarters, at which refreshments were served in great abundance to all comers. Dancing and a general good time followed until late into the night To-morrow the grand barbecue and bullshead breakfast takes place at Kroncke'i Park.

The streets and also most of the public buildings and private residences were handsomely decorated with appropriate emblems. Among the visiting parlors were the San Jose, Palo Alto, Observatory, Mayfield and Gilroy.

When, it came to decide between them and the San Frauclsco Club, which had the prize for the best appearance, the committee was divided. Part argued the California Cycling Club's was not a regular bicycle uniform. It was finally decided to give them the prize, as the San Club wore coats, thus spoiling the uniformity of the cress.

The forty-second anniversary of the admission of California as a State was celebrated at Washington Park to-day by members of the Western Association of California Pioneers, their friends and relatives.

It was a jolly crowd of aged citizens that gathered under the trees for a picnic. The early days of California were discussed by the old-time comrades who had been principals in many ad ventures, and suffered great hardship during the days of 1849 and 1850. The great prosperity of the State gave them cause for gratification, and not a little boastful talk about Corbett was indulged in by those dignified old fellows who would not mention the prize-fight at home. That queen of the turf, Yo Tambien, was also an object of pride. By invitation the Mexican Veterans were also on the ground, and th.

joined heartily in the fun. They told of Mexican rule in California, as they remembered it; of Fremont's army of sixty-two men battling for American supremacy of the eventful triumph of the stars and stripes, and the holding of the constitutional convention, and the final admission of the State into the Union. All were proud of their age and events in their early life, and the Mexican "Vets" supplied much that the i had forgotten. Among the speakers were Governor Winans of Michigan; Richard J. Oglesby, ex-Governor of Illinois; Mayor Leper of South Bend, and.

J. M. Studebaker of this city. They all talked more or less upon early mining expeditions on the Pacific Coast, and thero was no more interesting theme than the discovery fit gold by James Marshall at the old millrace In El Dorado County, on February 4, 1848. Their addresses look the listeners back over nearly half a century of time.

Major Ben Truman added many a thrilling tale to those other speakers, and Colonel Monstery told of deeds on the Mexican frontier. Following are the officers of the association: Charles Jackson, president; Addison Ballard, first vice-president; Tiiad P. Sears, second vice-president; John B. Kerr, secre- tary: David W. Miller, treasurer.

ALMOST SWEPT AWAY. The Town of Visalia in Danger of Destrn. tion by Fire. Visalia, Sept. Shortly after noon today fire broke out in the Kaweah livery stables at the eastern end of the town, and in an incredibly short space of time was sweeping tip Main street in such fashion as to threaten the destruction of the entire town.

For two hours and a half the fire burned unchecked, but at last the efforts of the citizens and of the visiting fire companies from surrounding towns, here to attend the Admission-day celebration, prevailed, and the flames were checked at 2:30 r. m. The Kaweah stables and twenty-three head of horses and numerous buggiesmany of them belong ua to outside people attending the Admission-day celebrationwere burned. The Kentucky lodginghouse, belonging to Charles Duke, built with money belonging to tho Visalia Building Association, was also consumed.

Caught by Tree and Vine From California's Glorious Son.

A GREAT EAGLE OF YELLOW GftJUI. There Is More to Be Seen at the Fair or State. Products This Year Than Was Ever to Be Seen Before. Special to Thk Call. Sacbame-TO, Sept.

lt only needs a brief glance around the agricultural exhibit at the State Fair to convince one that California's gold Is now being mined from orchard and field, vineyard and garden, rather than with pick and shovel, cradle and mill. A collection or this sort of placer gold is arrayed at the right of the main entrance in the space allotted to Placer County. Here, "attractively displayed, are luscious grapes, tempting peaches, toothsome pears and rosy apples from the mountain orchards. The ladies of Placer must be good housekeepers, judging from the preserves and jellies and canned fruits they have sent down to adorn the shelves in this section. There are pomegranates and oranges, too, and such grapes I What is Fresno thinking of? There.

are uuts and raisins, cotton and grain, olive oil from the Sierras and palms from the valleys. What dolight to live in Placer County I Vegetables, as well, all fit to burst with their own bigness, and wine, wherewith to make glad the heart. You will see nothing like this until you step right next di or into Sutter County's exhibit and see the grain that is grown there, the yellow corn, the golden wheat you "feel the oats" and smile In sheer admiration. "Proper wheat," says the label, in one row of white sacks. You feel like some, but that would be improper, you fear.

There are heaps potatoes, any one of "which would make a meal for a family. Why couldn't some Georgia picaninny capture one of those watermelons? He could cut it open, scoop out the seeds and lie down in it while he gorged on the delicious inner redness. They bave used grain here with decorative effect. A great eagle of wheat spreads wings and shrieks defiance to all the other counties. Sacramento County lias ransacked her vegetable garden and shows ns a glorious result: Cabbages, to make mem herr wild with envy: green peas and summer squash, egg plant, cauliflower, radishes, lettuce, crook-necked squash, scarlet and golden tomatoes, artistically juxtaposed to big green peppers; onions, sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, cellery, grain and more grain, grain iv sacks and sheaves, in piles and artistic hops, pungent and delightful; whole families of cheeses in row--, father and mother cheese, big and rich, and all the little cheeses; then more grain and fruit, fruit everywhere, but not a bit to eat.

There are four fine columns of dressed stone at the entrance, showing what the county produces in this line. Sonoma County's exhibit is still in a state of chaos, but promises to be, when ready, uot one whit behind tho others. Merced County some mammoth chestnuts, the welcome kind, you know, that no one tires of, And broom that looks as though It would always sweep clean; dried fruit to tempt an anckoritc, oats five and six feet high and barley to match. Their wheat has "the big head" to a marked degree, and the ladies of Merced have sent such an array of canned fruits and jellies that you loug to go right over and take tea with them. There is also a fine displayed and woolen goods, made in Merced County from wool.

At the left of the main entrance Colusa County has an exhibit worthy of that great section. Here is shown a collection of mineral rock cinnabar, from the quicksilver mines, gold and iron quartz, copper, sulphur, from the great sulphur banks that abound there, and mineral waters from the springs. They grow great wheat up there, and wine, crapes and fruit are shown in abundance, sugar-cane and honey, hay In good enough for Nancy tobacco for smokers, and climate for everybody. From here you turn Into Machinery Hall, which is fairly humming. They aro setting up and printing a newspaper the State Fair windmills are blowing, fanning mills fanning, mowing-machines mowing, on smooth pine floors; there are electric machines, steam engines and great harvesters ail going for dear lite, ana in the midst of it all pa and ma are giving a small six-year-old urchin a liberal mechanical education until his eyes stick out from the pressure of accumulated knowledge behind them, and he can stand It no "I want somelem'enade," he walls.

'Tis bliss to step into the quiet of Agricultural Hall, where you wisely Inspect graders. and scrapers, mowers aud reapers, crushers, gang plows, harrows and headerwagons, and tell the exhibitors you were "raised on a farm." You survey with adoration all the labor-saving appliances and finally sit down in a cleau new wheelbarrow and sigh for the life of an honest granger, with nothing to do but meditate and see the wheels go round. Then you stray into the mining section and take a look around. Here is a huge model of a section of the nickel steel armor plate for the United State battle ship Oregon, now building at the Union Iron Works. It doesn't seem possible that any missile ever projected could penetrate it.

The various appliances for mining and reducing quartz are all shown here and make an interesting exhibit. Here, too, is an exhibit of the new ramie culture. The growing plants are shown, machines for preparing fiber and any quantity of fabrics and pre- Eared fiber, showing the wonderful adaptability of this plant to various uses. There is ramie cloth, half wool, half cotton, good strong, looking stuff, sacks nnd rope, and five cloth that closely resembles linen and ought to be admirable for household purposes. Clearly ramie ought to have a future in California.

The whole pavilion is a beautiful sight. The decorating committee have done their work admirably and the general effect is very brilliant. Advertisers have a fine display, each exhibit being a model of tasteful arrangement. In the center of the hall is a pavilion erected by the Federated Trades, symbolical of labor and supporting an immense the world. The four pillars of the pavilion represent labor and are covered with charters of the differeut trades unions.

The four primitive trades are represented by a plow and sickle, a blacksmith's anvil, woodman's ax aud a miner's outfit, and iv the center Is displayed a collection of the books used in that center of our civilization, the public schools. Four figures at each corner symbolize music, art, literature and feminine industry. The educational exhibit Is very complete, comprisine entries from the various schools and colleges in the State and relics of early school days on the coast. In the military section are several stands of arms carried by California's volunteers in 1.01, a collection of battle flags, American arms, and a very interesting relic In the form of the old flint-lock musket carried by Governor I ark ham's father, when a boy of 18, through the battle of Plattsburg in 1814. A pleasantly suggestive curio from San Jose is labeled "Grandma Basconl's piano." This venerable Instrument was brought "around the Horn" 1849.

It cost $GOO in the East, and the freight on it from San Francisco to San Jose was $150, that being "all the truffle would bear" at that time. OLD- TIME FLAGS. Each a liaising na Was Seen Before In California. Sacramento, Sept. 9.

Tho principal' feature of the evening at the pavilion was the raising of the various flags that from timo to tuna floated officially over the State. The exhibition was a striking illustration of the vicissitudes through which California lias passed. pole used in raising ths flaps was the one upon which Commodore Sloat raised the first American flag ever raised by official command in California. On the platform around the pole were seated represeutatlves of tho early Spanish' and- Mexican families, many of them In the costumes of early days, and Native Sous and Daughters of the Golden West. The -Vanish colors were raised by Sen or Carlos da la Guerra, a grandson of one; of the early commandants of California.

It was roundly cheered, while the band played the Spanish national air, and the captain, the Spanish chieftain, rang the old mission bell of San Bernardino, cast in 1809. Ssnora Coronel of Los Angeles also rang one of the early mission bells. The Mexican flag was next raised by Don Antonio Coronal, and afterward the bear flag by Ben Welch," a Native Son. When the bear flag was banded down the. flag carried by the California ,1 volunteers throughout the Mexican War was sent up to the very top of the pole amid a deafening roar" of applause, while tbe i band played Star-spangled Old Bach, who has come down from the.

cooking outfit, patched overalls and all, gave a mighty miner's yell as (the flag was unfurled. "Freedom and liberty!" ho for the: rag that ever floated There is 9 good -crowd: here, though: not so large as in previous years. W. Murray of the Ramie Culture Assoelation appeared to-night in a handsome and stylish suit of gray, ramie cloth, the suit witb its contents being entered as an exhibit THE COMING CIRCUS. Commotion in Happy Households Over Its Approach.

There Is a mingled feeling of joy and trepidation in many happy homes in San Francisco. The cause is the near approach of Robinson's great circus. The children are filled with joy at the prospect, and the old folks with trepidation over the demands for the outlay which must be endured when a family visits a circus. vv But as everybody Is going, and as Robinson's circus brings with it an aggregation of attractions' never offered under canvas before, no father is stern enough to resist the importunities of his children for leave to follow the crowd. The circus opens on Monday evening at Central Park.

In the afternoon there will be a grand street procession. Eleven hundred people are to appear in the great spectacular representation of the picturesque biblical story of the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon." The Eastern press has highly extolled the beauties of the grand exhibition. Certainly tbe like of it has never been witnessed before, and once seen it is never forgotten. It is the principal feature of the great show, which is said not to be lacking in any of the other time-honored accessories of a big circus, such as the menagerie and acrobats, clowns and equestrian riders.

THE FIREBELL. Damage by Flumes and Water on Steu- art Street. At 10:05 o'clock last night an alarm was rung from box 34 by. Police Officer Smith of the Harbor Police. The fire bad started in the sail loft of Simpson Fisher, over Wright, Bowne ship-chandlery store, 34 Steuait street.

The fire quickly spread to Xo. 30, the Two Brothers saloon, belonging to Fred Schumacher. The saloon had been closed for the night, and the efforts of the firemen to subdue the flames were considerably retarded in being unable to batter down tbe iron doors and shutters of the saloon. But after this was effected the fire was soon under control. As soon as the windows were opened in the upper story a dog that had been confined in the saloon sprang out on the porch and on to the ground.

The poor brute seemed dazed for a few minutes. The upper portion of tho saloon was badly damaged by fire and the lower portion by water. The loss to Wright, Bowne stock by water will also be considerable. They could not state last night what tke value of the stock was, but the loss was covered by insurance. Vv At 10:50 o'clock last night fire broke out in Fisher's sailloft, 32 Steuart street.

The building is two stories high and the flames did considerable damage to Wright, Bo wen who occupied the ground floor, and to Frederick Schumacher, who occupied the adjoining building.

The Besnlt cf Not Failing One Own A Prize Won by a The Swim- ming Bsct. The Oakland, Canoe Club held its high jinks yesterday in honor of Admission day. The event of the day. was the sailing race for canoes belonging to and sailed by members of the club. The holiday a handsome trophy, which is contested for every holiday, was the reward of the winner.

New canoes' have made their appearance since the last races aud this event bas been for months the theme of interest and speculation among canoeing circles. Resides this race there had been an excellent programme arranged for the day. There was a paddling race, swimming and tub races and a novel a tub Early in the day there was a great assembling of men who go down to the sea in canoes, and their friends of the fair sex, who added not a little to the charm of the scene. '--i The rippling expanse of San Antonio estuary presented a lively and picturesque spectacle. Scores of lillputian craft were spreading their wings to the light breeze.

There could be seen sails borrowed from every nation; luggers, lateens, batswlugs, unas and leg mutton sails; and the sunlight was reflected from polished woods from many climes, of which the tiny toy boats were built. Oakland harbor is an ideal sheet of water for the rendezvous of a canoe fleet. There the canoeist has about six miles land-locked sailing, and when the -anal is completed connecting "the creek," as they call it, with Sim Leandro Bay new waters will be made accessible to the daring navigator and his canoe, where the waves do not ruu too high, and where there is always a fresh Tho members of the Oakland Canoe Club are by no means fair-weather sailors. Perhaps most daring feat of seamanship which has been accomplished by these sons of Neptune was that of W. W.

Blow, who started from Oakland for Sausalito one day last winter in the teeth of a gale in the Mystic, a canoe of only "-inch beam, arriving at hi- destination with the gallant little craft half filled with water. After landing and bailing out he started back, arriving safely at the clubhouse, haviug been absent about eleven hours. Although taking all sorts of risks which would be foolhardy were these seamen not a fatal accident has yet to occur. The nearest approach to a serious mishap was when A. 11.

Blow in the Zephyr was capsized off Goat Island in a gale. After a desperate struggle with the whitecaps, his canoe having sunk, he was rescued by M. Harrison iv the Frolic Amateur photographing and canoeing have long been kindred pastimes, and the camera has beeu an important factor in the cargo of the canoe on many long cruises exploring streams that were never vexed by a keel, and many hardy voyagers bave photographed bits of nature seen by their eyes alone and have brought the pictures home to discuss over flowing bowl and fragrant pipe. The members of the California Camera ClUb were the guests of the Oakland Canoe Club yesterday and a largo delegation arrived in the forenoon and vented their enthusiasm by photographing everything after the shapely racers bad received the admiration they merited and lunch bad been served. -The company assembled on the veranda of the clubhouse to witness the race.

The starters were: H. Blow in the Vitesse. George Warder in the Gnat. W. W.

Blow in the Jack. Arthur Smith in the Zoe Mon. F. E. Brown in the Valkyrie.

Dr. Hackett in the Gypsie. F. J. Norrls in the Foler.

The fleet, as each boat maneuvered for position, was the most beautiful sight. The Vitesse, Bonita and Zoe Mou crossed the line at the same time, clcsely followed by the others. The race was an exciting one. A fresh and flawy breeze bad sprung up on creek. Al Blow caught the first puff and scudded away before the wind, with the Gnat close at his heels, the others bunched close behind them.

Blow never lost his lead and came in first, but tha trophy was awarded to Warder, Blow not having sailed bis own boat. W. W. Blow presented a cup to be awarded the novice coming in first. This was won by Arthur Smith, who came in fourth.

The Gnat was built in New York by Bow-dish and is a typical racing canoe sixteen feet over all aud thirty inch beam. She carried the large sail plan of 140 feet. Warder holding her un withlout-sliding seat. The double paddling race was won by Messrs. Berries and Gump; their Messrs.

Smith and A. H. Blow, capsized In rounding the stake. The handicap swimming race was won by Al Blow, the scratch man. The tub tournament came last, and was participated in by Al Blow and Arthur Smith.

Honors were easy. Dinner was served over, which stories were told and souks were sung, and dancing brought an enjoyable day to a close. PERSONAL NOTES. C. A.
