CAL., May 18.—The last day as well as the last night of the festival hias been filled with music, although the misfortune of there being nolate trains south - caused vervy many visitors, who liy wanted to be here at the finish, to way—not so silently as the Arab, to be sure, but quite as effectually. Still the windows and porticos and the sidewalks in front of the plaza were crowded with speotators to witness the sports that con- tinued all the afternoon and evening, as long as daylight lasted.

The starters were Charles Bond, C. Merchant and George Dunbar of Santa Rosa. Bond got off first, and came down the line fast enough to cover the distance in ten and one-half seconds, with Merchant a close secorid. A-mite bicycle-race was the feature of ihe’ programme.- Lowry and McCutchen started on thescratch, while Haigh and Barnes ‘were allowed a 35-yard handicap. 4'hie run ‘was made in excellent time, all things considered, for, besides a poor track, the riders ‘faced 3 strong wind.

It'wasa very preity affair, and atiracted alarge crowd. ‘To-night another granid musical and literary entertainment was given at the same place. The plaza is again ablaze with its thous- ands of incandescent lights, -the reflection of which against the: sky may be seen for ‘miles aroand, while the finish of Healds- burg’s :first great festival is being cele- brated by boisterous merrymaking in the striets. cEE The people. of Healdshurg who have moved most energetically in inaugurating aud carrying the festival through are very well pleased at its success and the gener- ous manner in which all the country round joined them in it. That-it will be repeated there can be little doubt, and it possibly will become a permanent institution, like that at Santa Rosa and Los Angeles. J. J. Livernash, editor of the Enterprise and whose office: was the hospitable head- quarters” of all visiting pewspaper men during the festival, speaks the sentiment of the. business men of the community when he says *‘the festival bas marked an era in the history of Healdsburg. It has sef the blood of her people moving, and the city will, I believe, step forward to new developnient and prosperity.’” SANTA. CRUZ'S DISPLAY. Preparations Progressing for a Magni- ficent Illumination of the River Banks. T BANTA CRUZ, Car:, May 18.—FEach day new ideas are brought forth for the.Vene- tian water carnival, and as the time passeés on the grandeur ‘and magnificence of the display promises to exceed ' the expeeta- tions of the most enthusiastic: Mamger Ed Lilly of the Banta Cruz Eleotric Light and Power Company: leaves to-morrow:for San Francisco to secure sup- pliesand thie co-aperation of electricians for the grand illumination of the town and the ‘San TLorenzo River. - Coritraets ‘have incandescent lights and eighty arc lights. on'the river; besides the- 10,000 Japanese lanterns. . : Z It “has been'-decided “that the Queen's throne should “be ‘erected at the: foot of wagon roadbed been Signed, and thete will b over 1000] Roger Q. to :‘lmum'megt,'w_tt:h ‘steDs leading to “the | river. At this place there is a curve on the river, and on either side facing it will extend the seats, in the form of ‘an amphi- theater, making it possible for all to have an unobstructed view. The seating capacity at this point alone will accommodate 5000, Opposite the Queen’s throne, on the east- ern bank, a bandstand for sixty musicians will be erected. Fountains capable of throwing a spray 150 feet high will be on each side of it, and the effect will be beau- tiful. Over the throne and balcony there will be a canopy 1200 feet in length and 500 feet wide, and under its folds 1000 electric lights will shed their rays on the river. The arc lights will be placed in such a position that there will bearow on each bank of the river. The most marvelous part of this illumination will be the connection of the whole system with one general station, from which the general manager may be able to command every current. The music committee have been author- ized to engage the American Concert band of forty pieces, and the Stereopticon and Hastings band. For the day pageants, the Queen’s throne will be on the lower plaza, facing Pacific avenue. A music- stand for forty players will also be erected on the lower plaza.

SUNDAY MORNING SCENE NEAR LOTTA’'S FOUNTAIN. [Sketched by a “ Call” artist.] AN JOAQUIN” FLOOD: Grain Fields Inundated by Breaks in the Levees. THE MOKELUMNE RISING It Has Now Reached the High~ est Point Known in Many Years. BOTTOM LANDS UNDER WATER Ranchers of the Valley Will Lose Heavily by the Damage to Growing Crops. STOCKTON, CaL., May 18.—The levee this side of Paradise cut broke to-day and the water is pouring over wheat and grain fields and flowing toward the Banta county road, which will be impassable before to- morrow morning. Some workmen . were engaged in repairing the road when the break occurred in the levee. As soon as'it was reported théy quit work, as the: re- pairs would be rendered useless by the water. The levee broke two and a half miles south of the San Joaquin bridge yester- day afternoon, and 300 acres of barley- be- longing to Henry Fink and a large tract of pasture land owned by G. W. Trahern were inundated. The loss will be considerable, but the exact amount is not known. The Mokelumne River is higher now than it has been for years, and the bot- tom land in the vicinity of Lockford is all under water. It is reported here that three miles of bulkhead which protects a portion of the Union Island levee from the wash of the water is being undermined. This bulk- head is near the Fish Camp, where the erosion of the water is particularly great. The bulkhead cost several thousand dol- lars. Whether the levee which it protects will give way is not known. 1t is also reported that the strength of some of the levee-work on Union Island is being tested by the water, which has splashed up so as to wet the top. J. M. de Leon of Roberts Island, who is in town to-day, reports that at his place the levee has *‘three feet to spare,”’ the water being that much below the top. A special telephone message received here this afternoon from the keeper of the San Joaquin bridge shows that the water is now at the 17.75-foot mark, or three inches higher than it ever was before. It has been at a standstill since last night. For additional Pacific Coast news see Second Puge. SCRATCHED 3 YEARS Suffered; Scratched and Bled. Doce tors No Relief.

On June 1 he will visit the Yosemite Valley to investigate its management by the commissioners, and there is not a doubt that if anything wrong should be found the bracing air of Yo- semite will be filled with flying fur. The Governor and A. W. Barrett, the newly appointed Adjutant-General. had a long conference this morning on the sub- ject of the reorganization of the militia of this State. The Governor intends to be commander-in-chief of the State’s forces in fact as well as in name, as his recent ac- tion in issuing his orders direct to Major- General Dimond would indicate, 2 General Barrett will shortly introduce some needed reforms whereby the ‘‘feather- bed and fuss-and-feather” element will ‘be eliminated from the militia. It is Gov- ernor Budd’s desire that the militia of Cal- | ifornia shall be a model for other States to follow. . ¢ A Sequel in Court to the Ro- mantic Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair. Sult to Determine the Ownership of a Trotter—Rough Methods of a Charivarl Party. SAN JOSE. CAn., May 18.—An attach- ment suit filed yesterday by Mrs. Alicia 8t. Clair against her husband, H.F. St. Clair, reopens a romance of early days in San Jose. Some years ago Jonathan Lupton, the owner of a fine ranch in the Willows, died, and his widow and several minor children inherited the property. Some time afterward H. F. St. Clair appeared on the scene. He secured work on the widow’s ranch and then set industriously at work to win her hand. Soon Mrs. Lupton became Mrs. St. Clair. Married life progressed smoothly, and the trusting wife deeded her share of the estate to her husband. Then came the storm. No sooner had the property come into his possession than he sold & portion of it for $1600, and with this sum in his pocket left San Jose for a tour of the State. A woman accompanied him, but Mrs. St. Clair was at home at the Willows. 8t. Clair returned to San.Jose last Friday and, it is said, drew from the bank another sum placed to his credit by the confiding woman and again left for San Francisco. Then came the expose, and following it the attachment suit, wherein Mrs. St. Clair hopes to secure possession of the little property that remains. Now creditors of the reckless husband are taking a hand in the quarrel and filing attachment suits to get what they can of the estate. SANTA CLARA CROPS. Prunes and Peaches Will Yield Heavily, but Apricots Will Be Light. SAN JOSE, CaL., May 18.—The meeting of the stockholders of the Santa Clara Fruit Exchange to-day was well attended.
