VOLUME LXXVIIL.—-NO. 15. SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1895. PRICE FIVE CENTS. LOYAL SUBJECTS DANCE WITH QUEEN ANITA. 5 ) ANTA CRUZ, CAL., June 14.—The event of this day was not on the water. It was a function. The merry and beautiful young Queen gathered ner people about her and gave the note to music and bade them dance. To be sure the water carnival went forward afternoon and night, according to an elaborate programme, but the event happened in the pavilion—the pavilion that was built in six days. And that is another thing that sets a halo around the monumental respect that every visitor to the carnival must from this time cherish for Santa Cruz. Here, in an immense building that rose from its postholes to its weather-vane in six days, was presented to-night a fitting compli- ment to that never-to-be-forgotten picture under the stars on the San Lorenzo. A ballroom that might easily represent the artistic energy of months if the fact was not known that a sandlot here spread it- self away to the water a few days ago, pre- sented an interior of finished beauty and brilliant illumination, to say nothing of the goodly company in its ballroom finery. The immense room 1s completely swathed in yellow and gold. From the center of the ceiling the carnival colors, in alternate wide stripes, fall down in even festoons, caught and held in place by an immense fishnet that spreads over the whole ex- panse. From the center of the building, too, hang festoons of incandescent lamps, extending the length of the building, caught up, however, at frequent intervals. Arc lights are swung from the ceiling, twenty-one of them making the hall quite as light as it would be with the roof off at midday under a cloudless sky. At the further end of the room from the entrance has been built the Queen’s throne —a raised dais, with gilded chair under an ample canopy of yellow satin ribbons— where swing another battery of incandes- cent lights and four colored Venetian lamps. Stations are fixed at the side of the Queen’s chair for her immediate attend- ants, and in front is a broad area, also raised above the floor, for the seating of the guests of honor. It is now 9:30 o’clock. Hastings’ band has been entertaining a throng on the river and the illuminated floats are there, but alas, the Queen is not, and those who would be with her where she leads are here, bere in great numbers. The lights are all @blaze and the guests on the floor and in the balcony are all on the tiptoe of ex- pectancy. At last the doors swing open and'a troop of flower girls enter with their frocks full of roses. In their yellow dresses they move down the white floor—itis a broad expanse of white canvas—over which they strew the roses in the path in which the Queen is to follow. She is coming in the splendor of her royal hall robe and with all her brilliant company, to the slow measure of a march. As they approach the center of the room all the electric Lights are suddenly turned out and four calcium lights throw their color shafts full wpon the company. As they move for- ward the color changes continually, mak- inga very beautiful picture. General Dimond conducted the Queen and led her up to her throne. The royal party took their places as indicated, and then the grand march took place, still under the changing colored calcium lights. It was all of that high order of spectacle in keeping in each of the carnival events. Roncovieri was at his best, and started the ball with that spirit that only good music can. All through the evening the most picturesque effects were secured by the clever handling of the lights. All the fancy dances were carried through under the play of the four calciums. Credit for all of this is, of course, due to the com- mittees, and chiefly to Charles R. Tidball, who superintended the decorations. It was PICTURESQUE SCENE DURING THE REGATTA ON he also who did the sameat Santa Barbara. Following are the committees: Reception—Hon. J. P. Smith, G. Bow- man, Mayor Robert Effey, John R.

They are on shore to-night, with leave of absence until to-morrow morning at 7 o’clock. They came on shore this morning and with the regulars of the great warship formed a procession which marched through the city, led by the Queen’s escort on horseback, the dazzling habiliments of the latter contrasting sharply with the somber uniforms of the men-of-warsmen—a contrast as sharp as are customs of to-day with those of medieval times. The procession was formed in two de- tachmeuts, the regulars in their plain blue and carrying no arms marching in front and the reserves in full uniform and carry- ing guns bringing up the rear. It marched A VENETIAN GONDOLA AT SANTA ORVZ. [Sketched by a ““Call” artist.] thusiasm along the line. The reserves are extremely well satisfied with their outing. Commander Stahle is -in excellent humor with his men. 1n an interview to-night he said the men went aboard and took charge of the big warship on Wednesday night and sailed at noon Thursdaay. The men performed every duty of the voyage just as is required of the regulars. They made a perfectly successful run and dropped anchor here at 6:30 last night. The men behaved well for an initial outing. None of the men were even seasick. Lieutenant Turner of {Company D, Cap- tain Douglass of Company C and Captain same satisfied terms. As for the men they are too proud for anything. “We were set at work cleaning brass, and kept the ship in trim all the way down,” said one of them to-night. ‘“None of us were seasick, although the ship rolled heavily much of the way, especially com- ing over the bar. This morning we were put through a drill on shipboard.” The Olympia is in charge of a detail from Company D, Lieutenant Turner, to-day and to-night. small boats coined money in carrying them out. The Dowager Queen and the maids of honor spent the afternoon on board. SPORTS ON THE LAGOON. Aquatic Contests That Cause Far More Amusement Than Excitement for the Spectators. SANTA CRUZ, Can., June 14.—The aquatic events on the lagoon during the afternoon were of an amusing rather than an exciting ‘character, and the crowd as- sembled was kept in good humor by the tub, swimming and other contests. The American Concert band rendered fine music during the entire afternoon. Many decorated boats were on the river. Messrs. James 0. Wanzer, T. A. Sweeney, Captain ‘W. H. Gatrell and Charles P. Clark were the committee in charge of the exercises. Following are the winners in the various contests: Double-scull race, one mile—First prize, $25, Dutra brothers; second, gold medal, Washburn and Faraola. Canoe race, one mile—First prize, $5, Frank Washburn; second, George King. Swimming race, 100 yards—First prize, gold medal, Clyde Hawthorne; second, silver medal, Jesse Wood. Swimming race, for boys under 15 years, 100 yards—First prize, $3, Guy Burroughs; second, $2, Orville Burroughs. Tub race—First prize, $5, Charlie Wash- burn; second, $2 50, Orville Burroughs. The single-scull race and fisherman’s race take place to-morrow afternoon, the former on the river and the latter on the bay. The Union League and Half-million Club excursion train was delayed and did not arrive until after 10 o’clock. They ar- rived, however, in time to take part in the festivities of the night. e STARTS TO THE SEASIDE. Departure of the Half-Million Club Ex- cursion for the Santa Cruz ‘Water Carnival. The Half-million Club excursion train, consisting of four passenger coaches and dining-car attached, left Third and Townsend streets at 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon bound for the Venetian carnival at Santa Cruz. A second section of the train left the Oakland mole at 5:30 o’clock to go by the way of Niles and pick up a number of the club’s straggling members ‘who are rusticating in that locality. Thousands of people visited | her during the day, and the owners of | The two divisions meet at San Jose and consolidate, the train reaching the city by the sea in time for the evening’s enter- tainment to be witnessed by the members of the party. In response to numerous requests re- ceived from Senator Burk and J. P. Smith, members of the executive committee, Brigadier-General R. H. Warfield and staff, consisting of Lieutenant-Colonel J. G. Giesting, Lieutenant-Colonel G. F, Hanson, the staff surgeon; Major Duboce, the staff inspector; Major F. F. Follis, the quartermaster; Major W. A. Halstead, the commissary; Major H. Hosmer, inspector of rifle practice; Major Charles E. Murphy, | the staff engineer; Major C. H. Evans, Dennis of Company B all speak in the | signal officer, and Captain 8. L.-Napthaly, will all join the Half-million excursion and attend the carnival. The military men make a striking ap- pearance in their new dress uniforms, and they undoubtedly will cause quite a sensa- tion upon their arrival in Santa Cruz. The members of the Half-million Club will be given a reception by the executive committee of the fete upon their arrival, and General Warfield and staff will be en- tertained by General Dimond and staff, who will meet them in military style,in full uniform, at the depot. The members of both parties will remain in Santa Cruz until the last event on the carnival programme is ended. The cars will remain on the side track near the depot, and be used as a hotel during their stay, as it is impossible to procure accom- modations for so large a party with the city in its crowded condition. LUCK OF SPOKANE MEN. Rich Yields of Gold in a Mine Thoughs to Be Valueless. SPOKANE, Wass., June 14.—The War Eagle Mining Company has declared a. dividend of $50,000, or 10 cents a share. This mine is situated in the Trail Creele district, north of Spokane. A year ago it was a prospect. The promoters had taken bonds on it and tried in vain to sell the property for $15,000. Finally Patsy Clark formed a company of Spokane men, who divided the stock among themselves at 6 cents a share. They bonded the mine, did some develop- ment work and opened up a bonanza. The first month’s ore shipments paid for the mine and all improvements. The present dividend is, therefore, clear profit on the investment. It represents three months’ limited shipments over an almost impass- able mountain road. WON BY A PORTLAND BANK. A Buit Growing Out of the Ainslee Lum~ ber Company Failure. PORTLAND, Or., June 14.—A verdict for the defense, was rendered by a jury in the United States Circuit Court to-day in the suit of the Nevada Bank of San Fran- cisco against the Portland National Bank and George W. Hazen, cashier, to recover $21,000 for allegea false representations concerning the credit of the Ainslee Lum- ber Company, which failed for a half million dollars in July, 1892. The Nevada Bank claimed that through the representations of Hazen it loaned the Ainslee Lumber Company $21,000 only a few days before the failure. The Portland National Bank and other banks of this city were victimized by the Ainslee Lumber Company to the extent of $400,000. i Inquest at San Rafael. SAN RAFAEL, Car., June 14.—The in- quest on Carl Gassmus, who was found floating at old Sausalito, was concluded this morning, the jury finding that he came to his death from poison taken with suicidal intent. \For additional coast telegraph sce Second Paged
