But one very fine morning, as I was going my roxngs to satisfy myself that the streét cleaning of the previous night had been faithfully performed, I met Mr. Arpad Karaszthy, the wine mer- chant, and after the usual, familiar greeting, said he: : {'How would you like ¢o join the Johensian club?? 4 1, somewhat eurprised at such a question coming from him, said: Why do you ask?” “Well; sad he, “I should be pleased present your application if agree- to you." Are you a member?” I asked. He said he was. Then,” said I, me I gave him my application, and in 10 able “there 18 hope for due time“Teceived mnotice of my hav- ing been elected to membership, and thie was an event that created & mew epoch in my life's career. In those ear days of the club’s career, could those genial gendlemen, it founders, the most remots idea of future had In store for it, of have had what the the position it would occupy among the clubs of the age, I am afraid they would have feit too proud te speak to one another. The first high jinks that I attended was a Shakespeare Jinks, and Harry Fdwards, a member of the California heater company, and one of the love- giest men I have ever known, was the Sire. The entertainment was a reve- Jation to me, and the papers read and contributions were o far above and beyond anything I had ever heard §h elub lite that § consoled myself with the thought that I was now where 1 could “go ‘way back and sit down, with no fear of ever being called up- on for a speech or anything else, ex- cept to pay for what I consumed and my monthly dues. ‘At the close of the high jinks, six of the novitlates were duly initiated, and duly invested with the rights and rivileges of full fledged membership, ames H. Bowman officiating as high riest, and conducting the solemn and pressive ceremony. Then came a short recess, during which time, as Judge Hoffman and myself were at the sideboard partaking of refresh- ments then and there provided, Coi. A. G. Hawes and Raphael Weill came from the jinks room and informed me of my appointment as the sire of t)e low jinks. I satd I would have to be excused es I really didn’t know what low jinks was. They said, so much the better, for the less a man knows about g low finks, the better qualified he is to preside. That settled it, and Y presided, and when I took the chair 1 was astonished at the assurance with which I called the meeting to order and the cheerful alactrity of those essembled in doing so. My opening address was a corker, I was told, but from that eventful night to this day I thave not the slightest recollection of what I sald. However, the whole even- ing was a grand s and at the elose of the entertainment I_started for my home, over at South Park. Arriving at Montgomery street, I was more than pleased at seeing the blue light of the Third street car not more than two blocks away. 1 waited for its approach, but it didn’t approach worth a cent. I concluded it must be off the track. I investigated and found that the blue light was in a drug store. 1 had been so elated with the events of the evening that I had taken no note of time, but on consulting my watch I found that the last car must have passed an hour and a half pre- Viously, consequently I had to wend my way to my home on foot. But the evening had been such a delight- ful one that distance didn’t count Arriving at my home, my dear wite awoke at my entrance and quired the time. I looked at my watch und replied. ten minutes past ten, and then laid the watch on the mantle- plece. Having some doubts as to the correctness of my reply, the little woman arose and looked herself. “What time did you it was?" she asked again. “Ten minutes past ten,” said I minutes past ten! Why, it only lacks ten minutes of two,” said she s that so?” said I. “Why, bless my soul, how time flies! I had no idea that I had been home so long. This was another occasion realized that “a soft answer away wrath Thus ended my hemfa, within whe T have for almost thirty years enjo ed some of the happiest moment my life, and assoclated wigh the most genial, whole-souled gentlemen 1 have ever known, and that is why T have Eiven so much space to my first night in_Bohemia. In writing up this log book of my cruise in sailine over life's ocean, I shall recall, no doubt, many of the events of my happy and serene ex- periences in the club, and the enter- tainments in which I have taken a prominent part I will embody in these memoirs, and T have no doubt they will be read with a lively interest, not only by the general reader, but by old ‘members, as they will he reminded of scenes and events they have long since forgotten. I was made, some time later, Per- petual High Priest of Bohemia, -and during my term of service received as novitiates the Duke of Manchester, the late King Kalakua of Hawaii and many other notables. ‘When Henry Irving came to San Francisco with his company to fulfill an engagement at the Grand Opera house, he was not then Sir Henry, but plain Mr. Irving. After his arrival, but before his season here opened, he was glven one of the most delighiful din- ners ever tendered by the Bohemian club. There were no toasts nor speeches, but all was mirth and jolli- ty. At the close of the banquet the guest of the evening was requested to remain in the dining room with the president, while the others repaired to the jinks room, where the stage was a gem in its way. As the high priest of Bohemia, 1 was seated in the center, flanked by eight members of the club attired In the costumes of the characters which Mr. Irving had #o_ably presented. When all was in readiness, there entered Cardinal Wolsey, who announced “A man from @broad who wishes to be admitted to Bohemia’s sancturg.” High Priest: “What is his object?™ when 1 th t night hallowed Bo- wall in An Experience of Eighty Yeurs of Life. esires to know what ‘Most you # Cardinal: “He &this is all about High Priest: “Let him enter. excellent Cardinal, whém hav from ' d “Cardinal: “A strange land. High Priest: “Has he passed the ordeal of the election committee?” Cardinal: “He has, without feather droopin; High Priest: “Then bring forth the paraphernalia and sound the gong.” The owl and the loving-cup resting upon a small table were then placed before the candidate and he was thus addressed by the high priest: “Illustrious Neophyts Before you are permitted to know what this is all about, you will truly answer the ques- tion I am about to propound. But, as your future happiness may be affect- ed by any mistake in your answer, I will reply to it for you. The answer being satisfactory, the candidate was requested to prepare himself for the obligation by taking the loving-cup In his right hand and placing his left in his trousers’ pocket, as in the act of paying for the drin being given to understand that that was as far as the true Bohemian ever | got in paying for anything. The fol- lowing is the obligation conferred stranger one “In the presence of the Owl and this July and August body, I hereby pledge my word in this Bo- hemian toddy That I will cherish with feelings of delight The ‘high-old" initiation I am passing through tonight, Nor will tell what hath been told me for friendship or for pelf, Except it be to some one who knows how it is himself, To the rules and regulations I will rigidly adhere By always drinking champagne in pre- ference to beer. I will love each true Bohemian wher- ‘er on earth he goes Till he turns up to the daisies his emaciated toes, All this I truly promise on the honor of my name, And wilr do my level best to keep and perform the same; Should I e'er divulge the secrets I'm here permitted to know, May the wind blow through my whisk- ers when they're aliowed to grow.” The high priest and the candidate then partook of the punch from the loving-cup, an invisible chorus mean- time singing: “For T love Jemima, Jemima loves me, I'm stuck on Jemima, you bet, ha, ha!” which added greatly to the sublimity of the initiatory ceremrony. At the close of the singing each of the char- ters represetned in costume recited an appropriate quotation from-the play. During the evening Mr. Irving took Mr. Peter Robertson aside and asked to be shown the way to the stage. Peter took him through the Kkitcnen, the pantry and the pots and ketles, and having arrived, he requested the boy to raise the ecurtain, revealing himeelf to the surprise and delight of all present. When the applause had subsided he recited in his own sweet way the sweetest poem ever heard in Bohemia Shortly “after the opening of the dramatic season Henry Irving gave a banquet at Togtoni’s to about forty members of the Bohemian club. At eleven o'clock, after the performance he guests were seated at the table, with the actor at the head. When all was in readiness the host arose and said: “There are to be no speeches here tonight, and but one sentiment, which I will now propose, and T want you all to rise and drink a response fo it.” The sentiment he gave was: “May God bless us all. From that time unti half-past five the next morning it is safe to say that no banqueters ‘ever enjoyed themselves more heartily and more thoroughly, for every eye beamed happiness and all hearts were glad. When Mr. Irving returned to London he sent to each of the members of the Bohemian club a perpetual pass to his New Lyceum theater enclosed in a neat little vel- vet case. I have devoted considerable space to Henry Irving's visit to San Francisco, but among those who par- ticipated in the reception it is regard- ed one of the most memorable vents In the club’s history. The annual midsummer high jinks of the club {8 an event which is always looked forward to with the liveliest anticipations, as it gives the members two weeks of solid enjoyment under the shade of the great redwoods dur- ing the delightful days, where, with music, song and stories, it gives one a new lease of life. For months pre- vious to the event, preparations are being made for the entertainment, and many who are engaged in the busy alks of life arrange to enjoy their acation encamped in the luxurious tents beneath the spreading branches of the monarchs of the forest. The kitchen is a marvel in its way and is permanent. The dining tables, with a seating capacity of three hundred, are artistically arranged in the open alr with no fear of rain, as it is the dry season (not with the Bohemians) cooks and waiters are in attendance from the club; every morning fresh supplies are received from the city; 2 very attractive bar with all the mod- ern requirements is conveniently lo- ated to provide immediate relief in case of sickness or aceident. Thus it be observed that in that seques- red spot the tired Bohemian has all will te the comforts of a home. At the close of the high jinks the ceremony of the Cremation of Care is solemnized, and it is not easy to con- ceive of a more solemn ceremony. On the top of the hill In the rear of the high jinks' stage.are gathered those who are to participate in the crema- tion, and when the sire declares the high jinks closed he requests the audi- ence to remain seated, and the signal is given for the procession to move. The band, playifg the Dead March, is followed by the. high priest and the bearers of the casket containing the remains of Care. . Then comes the procession bearing torches, and as they descend the winding pathway, light ed by varied' colored lights, it is cer- tainly one of the most solemn sights ever witnessed, for nowhere-tlse could be seen such magnificent surroumd- | ings As the procession passes the audi- ence they all fall in and proceed to the ravine whers the funeral pyre has | been erected, and after marching twice | around the pyre, the casket is then deposited thereon, the band plays a short dirge, and the master of cere- mbnies delivers a short funeral or: tion. Then comes the high priest with his address, closing with the soul-stir- ring announcement that carking care is conquered and Bohemia is free, Then come the torch bearers to apply their torches and soon the whole catafalque is ablaze, and as the burn- ing blocks fall asunder, the fireworks in‘the casket then burst forth, a mag- nificent display of rockets, hombs and Roman candles brilliantly lighting up ths ravine and its surroundings. The order is given to “fall in” and all march back to camp, and soon +ie gong sounds supper, and here again all s jollity and mirth, which usually lasts until half past one in the morn- satisfy our cus fot b T AL S tell you the rest.

This part of the entertainment generally closés about three a, m. ,and then fol- lows the afterglow, which winds up eventually. 1 have dilated upon the teremony of the Cremation of Care at greater length than I otherwise in- tended for the resason that I am Per- petual High Priest of Bohemia, a_dis- tinguished honor which I most highly appreciate. Among the which 1 st were midsummer high jinks have officiated as high several upon which I uld love to dilate—the Buddha ks, held in the redwoods back Moount Tamalpias, and sired by late Fred M. Somers; tle Druid Jin] sired b J. D. Redding; the Aztec Jinks, sired by Louis A. Robertson; and the Hamadryad Jinks, sired by Dr. Shiels. But I also remember with at delight some earlier midsummer jinks, | less pretentious but none the less im- pressive in their solemn way. One of my birthd occurred on Easter Sunday, and An_ honor of the event the club gavea birthday break- fast in the Red Room of. the club, and at the close of President Horace Platt’s elequent address he presented me with a wonderful Easter egg as a token of the estimation in which I was held by the members. It was a large ostrich egg beautifully painted, and had been neatly separated, and with hinges and ribbon, was a lovely sight to look upon. I responded as best I could to the president's feeling address, and thanking the Bohemians for the mag- nificent Easter egg, very modestly re- sumed my seat. At the close of the exceedingly pleasant entertainment the members gathered around and seemed anxious to learn what the egg con- tained, and wished me to open it. I did so, and there, lo and behold! quietly resting and seremely looking me in the face, was a cheque for twelve hundred dollars. What my emotions were in making the discov- ery may be imagined, but language fails to describe them. That such an amount should have come to me at such a time—it seemed to me that it must be all a dream, but the warm, hearty congratulations of those around me soon convinced me that it was no dream, but a lovely reality, and that T was blessed not only with riches, but above all earthly riches I was blessed with the love and esteem of the mem- bers of the Bohemlan club, Once upon a time, sev I was invited to make one of a party to visit Rafael just for an out- ing, and I very gladly accepted the in- vitation. The party was made up of some twelve members of the Bohe- mian club, namely: Charley Leonard, Louis Sloss Hamilton, “Jack” Lathrop, Porter Ashe, “AL” Gerberd- ing, Charles R, Peters, Donald de V. Graham, George Nagle, “Ned” Town- send and myself. Upon arrlving at San Rafael we found in waiting a splendid four horse omnibus which I was told was to convey us to Bo- linas Bay. All this preparation was to me a little bit bewildering, but oth- ers of the party appeared to take it as an understood thing, so I asked no questions as to what it was all about. Our ride over the hills was most en- able, and with such company every mile of the distance was thoroughly appreciated. When we arrived at the Bolinas hotel another surprise awalted me, as I found that in the dining room a round table had been prepared for just the number in our party and the chairs placed accorrdingly. Then I thought to myself, this is all very mysterious, but T wanted the others to 1 years ago, think I knew as much about it as they { did, so T made no remark. Soon the table was furnished with a bountiful supply of good. wholesome food to which the hungry travelers did ampie justice. ~ After an hour spent ver pleasantly at the hotel the party w furnished with some half dozen lan- terns and then we all wended our way along the beach plcking up all the st wood in sight as we wandered, and I, all the time, wondering when this mystery would be solved. At length we came to where the surf had wash- ed up quite a mound of sand, between which and the main land was an open space just large enough for the busi- ness in hand, and ap ideal spot for the evening ceremonfes. After seat- ing me on the side of the sand bank T wae told to await developments, and 1 walted. A bonfire was bullt and the object of the journey was made known by Charley Leonard first reading a let- ter I had written vears ago for a mu- cal magazine, but which had almost entirely vassed out of my memory. As ing. Then all gather for the low jinks, and an agrecable surprise awaits every the reading prograssed it dawned on me that 1 was the head and front of the whole business, Before making the discovery I felt prompted to “go ‘way back and sit down,” but I was there and had to face the music while the following lovely sentiments were read by the different members of the pariy, and the chorus exquisitely sang by the whole company.
