MERRY THOUSANDS AT SAN JOSES FETE Guest and Native Share a Menu of Varied Pleasures. POLO CHAMPIONS MEET. Burlingame Prevents the Men of Riverside From Making a Score. GOOD THINGS YET IN STORE. Athletic Contests, Bicycle Races and Invasion by King Cole’s Quaint Army. SAN JOSE, CaL., May 7.—The reign of the Carnival Queen continned to-day in regel spiendor, with the people of her domainr doing homage. Butterflies in the sunshine were not a whit happier than they, and evidently the brightness and warmth of summer had much inspiration for the merrymakers. All clouds had faded from the welkin, and the hot air was a carnival of itself. The sun was even brighter than on the wonderful day of Queen Lillian’s triumphal entry into the city, and with this new brightness there ‘was more of the dazzle and glitter of car- nival in the decorations, the streets, the ensemble of flowery vehicles and crowds of holiday visitors. The ladies appeared in summery costumes, every- body displayed flowers and everybody was out of doors. Ason the flower day, busi- ness was a mere incidental matter, so the carnival abated little. Queen Lillian drove out in a flower-cov- ered barouche drawn by white horses that were harnessed in white and spread over with white netting. She wore an exquisite gown of light silk, as did her maids of honor, and all reclined on skins of Polar bears beneath white parasols. Her Ma- jesty’s maids in waiting, some of the fair- est of San Jose’s daughters, followed in a four-in-hand carriage drawn by black steeds decorated with yellow ribbons. Their carriage was beautiful with yellow satin and evergreens, which contrasted effectively with the pale costumes of the occupants. Wherever they went they re- ceived flattering recognition and . fre- quently cheers for Queen Lillian. Early in the afternoon her Majesty went to Agrncultural Park on the Alameda. The street was even then a mass of gay peo- pleall moving out of town in the same direc- ticn as the regal party. Street carsina pro- cession rolled out cautiously and wheelmen jostled with aristocratic fours-in-hand that bad to wear subdued mauners in presence of long lines of buses, family carriages and country traps. A great crowd was fol- lowing the Queen, though it was hard to say whether she was in the lead or in the middle. And by way of variety the United States eavalry dropped into line and rode to the polo zame in the park. When the game began there were fully 3000 persons in the grand stand, large numbers of visitors from Burlingame and San Francisco in the clubhouse and a whole field full of people. In all about 10,000 or 12,000 were there. The game was one that excited much interest, for Bur- lingame was pitted against Riverside. The Burlingame players wore pink shirts and blue sashes, and their competitors were easily distinguished by white shirts and red and black sashes. W. McCreery, C. A. Baldwin, W. 8. Hobart and Richard M. Tobin represented the club, while River- side had H. Maud, R. L. Bettner, G. L. Waring and C. E. Maund to defend its col- ors. Captain A. F. Wainwright was um- pireand J. Lawson scorer and timekeeper. Burlingame led from the startand in a few minutes had the ball between the | goal-posts. In the second period 1t was plain that the southerners were not in the fight, although they battled bravely and took the ball many a time near their goal, only to be whipped away, however, by a skillful Burlingame player, whose superior pony led the rest. Dick Tobin and Walter Hobart distinguished themselves in .the salliesand more daring work ana appeared lize a whiriwind in the eyes of the River- side men. The play lasted nearly two hours and ended with a score of 5 to 0 in favor of Burlingame. It was stated thatthe win- ners had the best ponies, in addition to which advantage they were hard players. The display of fireworks at the bicycle park in the evening drew together several thousand people, who witnessed as pretty a pyrotechnic display as was ever seen in this city. The exhibition opened with six pots of red light, which brilliantly illuminated the previously dark grounds. This was quickly followed by red, white and blue bombs, exploded simultaneously, which gave the heavens a decidedly patriotic complexion. A set piece, containing the words, ‘“‘Our Garden City” in red, white and blue, followed, after which a large number of rockets and bombs were set off together. A set piece displaying a fire engine at work and lettered “S. F. D.” brought forth much applause. Red, white and blue fountains were then set off and Ron- covieri’s band played ‘‘America” while the pieces were burning. Another lot of ockets and bombs were here ex- hibited. The American flag was displayed as a large set piece, followed by a fountain of red, white and blue fire. Eighteen stands of Roman canales, each containing seven pieces, were next shown, after which a stand piece of a kicking mule'was presevted. The stand pieces of the “Carnival Queen” and “Our King” were londly applanded. The carnival ball held atthe pavilion to-night was a grand success. The vast hall was filled with the elite of the city. The costumes of the ladies were the hand- somest ever displayed in this city on any occasion. Carnival Queen Lilian Rea, ac- companied by her maids of honors and attendants, opened the ball about 10 v’clock and viewed the grand march from her throne. The march was led by ex- Mayor Austin and Mrs. J. H. Henry, the wife of the director-general of the carni- val. Among the dancers were many visi- tors from various parts of the State. e KING COLE’S INVASION. He Will Come at the Head of a Fantastic Army. SAN JOSE, Car., May 7.—In sharp and grotesque contrast to the orderly floral parade of Wednesday will be the out- landish and lawless procession and ball of Saturday evening. On Wednesday we reveled in sentiment and beauty and gave expressions to ideals. On Saturday night, under cover of such darkness as human ingenuity cannot dispel, we shall drop from the clouds and let the wholesome animal in us run riot. That is to say, we shall don masks and surrender to those worthy disreputables, Momus and King Cole; and it hardly requires a student of Mother Goose to know what that means. This is passing regretfully over the great polo zgame of to-day, the grand ball at the pavilion this evening and the prospect of achievements worth remembering as the result of Stanford’s efforts to-morrow. | Ana these events are just as important as any other in the festival which Santa Clara County is lolding. They will be con- sidered more at length in other parts of this account. The purpose of this writing is to bring attention to bear on the par- ticular feature of Saturday night and sug- | gest an acceptance of the opportunity which it offers. It may be said at the beginning that the authorities have decided to abandon their THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1896. The Dashing Triple Tandem of Mrs. Frank Ross That Carried Off the Prize in the Floral Parade at San Jose. [Sketched by a ““Call” artist.] control that evening to King Cole and his incorrigibles. As is becoming in such a potentate this worthy, if rumor is credit- able, has every physical and spiritual en- dowment with which tradition accredits his iaeal. With a girth naturally prodig- ious and a jolly soul to keep it shaking he lacks nothing to secure perfection. As for the rubicund nose that is merely a matter of paint or industry. The parade will be in four or more divi- sions, this uncertainty having been caused by the jealous care with which the partic- ipants are guarding their secrets. Even the centra! management hasno idea of the freakish things that will present them- selves. There is only one rule: everything goes that is masked, grotesque and pictur- esque. The first division will have a marshal leading a company of tumblers and other acrobats, a float carrying the band royal and then the wonderful Chinese dragon with luminous insides, 600 legs, fiery eyes of a diameter twice the heivht of a man and mouth and nostrils belching forth fire, smoke and lava. But the grandest feature will be King Cole. His pipe, his bowl and his fiddlers three will support his dignity, and his chief mentor and moral support will be the most uncanny and solemn of little Africans, a brownie in the flesh, who will turn thumerthets, thtand on his hade and roll the whites of his eyes dreadfully, Then will burst upon the view the Ara- bian Degree Klan, Lodge No. 4-11-44, 400 strong, and acknowledging no responsi- bility except to aeath. This grewsome order is composed of the substantial busi- ness men of San Jose and the outlying towns and they are organized for such en- tertainments as this with a wise under- standing of the universal fondness for burlesque and fun. What grotesque ideas will be developed as the result of their in. vidual ingenuity it is not given to all men at present to know, but we may be sure that their parade will be a succession of screams and convulsions. Of course these worthies will have a gueen, and of course their queen will be as ridiculous a bur- lesque of the beautiful girl and her empiri- cism who received so much honor on Wednesday as it is possible for deoraved ingenuity to conceive. Whether or not the queen will be a sure emough meat queen or only a horrible man has not been divulged. Certainly, however, her attend- ants will be ten creatures in white robes and fearfully beautiful. In this division will be three floats illus- trating the dreadful ordeal of administer- ing the first, second and third degrees. And most wonderful of all wili be the only Impressions of Scenes in the Streets of San Jose and at the Great Polo Match at Agricuitural Park. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] l razor-back hog in this part of the world, imported from Florida. What part it is to take in the ceremonials has not been di- vulged. As the troopers of the Presidio who pa- raded in Wednesday’s procession made a varticularly handsome display they have invited a cruel burlesque, for a part of the second division will be the burro brigade, a particular account of whose purpose and appearance were better left to the imagina- tion. The third division will present an en- tirely different order of fun. As Friday is Stanford day, and as the university lies within the county, the students will re- main over Saturday and take part in the burlesque. They have their own ideas and are keeping them dark, and that only whets expectation. Besides them the Na- tive Sons, the San Jose Hussars and 1500 or 2000 wheelmen will appear with all their ingenuity exhausted to produce bizarre effects. At least 1000 cyclers are expected from San Francisco, and there will likely be double that number. As all will be in mask, and as each will be free to design his own eifects, we may expect a marvelous result. The procession, it may be inferred, will be long. Tt will form early in the evening at the Hotel Vendome, and will pursue tne following course: First street to Santa Clara, to Second, to San Antonio, to First, to Santa Clara, and disband at the Mer- cury office. All the leading business houses will be closed, and the line of march will be illuminated. Likeiy some- thing extraordinarily spectacular in the way of illumination will be seen in the case of King Cole's float, for it will have a trolley to tap the wire of theelectric roads. In addition to this will be numerous torch-bearers following alongside the pro- cession and wagons at intervals throwing calcium-lights upon the procession. As though all this were not sufficient, there will be a float devoted to fireworks, and it will be constantly in service. After disbanding the members of the procession and all others will proceed, to the carnival pavilion, where the Mayor will formally turn over the city to King Cole, and where the king will be crowned with becoming pomp. It is likely that in his proclamation he will issue sentence of banishment against a number of citizens who deem themselves worthy. After some other business of this kind the mask ball will be in order. Taken as a whole, it will be the most amusing and spectacular burlesque ever seen this side of the Missis- sippi. W. C. Morrow. b TWO MORE DAYS OF FUN. Athletic Contests, Bicycle Meets and All Fools’ Revel, SAN JOSE, CAL.,, May 7.—To-morrow is set apart for the students of Stanford Uni- versity at the Rose Carnival, and San Jose will be flooded by a mulititude of students such as she has never seen before. As Stanford University is particularly noted for its enthusiasm much of it wili be made manifest on this occasicn, and the cardinal will be proudly carried from one end of town to the other. The studen'ts have been provided with a special train, which will arrive at San Jose at10:10 . 3. The train will be appropri- ately decorated for the occasion. It will be met at the depot by Roncovieri’s Ameri- can Concert Band. The approach of the students will be foretold by the playing of college music, among which will be the “Stanford University March.” There will not be a lack of yelling, and Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Ran! Rah! Rah! Stanford! \ will make itself manifest often during the day. In the merning an intercollegiate base- ball game between the University of Cali- fornia and Stanford will take place. This will be called at 10:30 o’clock at the carni- valgrounds. Thisis the third game of the series and the deciding game of this year’s championship, as both universities have already won one game each.

Osgood '97 will act as timers ; George Toombs '96 track cap- tain. The field day should attract a large crowd onaccount of the first-class events assured, and a glance at the entries will show that it will be interesting, 100-yard dash—Brunton '99, Toombs’96, Hol- brook '97, Colliver '96, Reynolds '96.

Farmer '98, member of the same club. The umpire will be G. P. Baldwin ’96, and the referee, Charles 1. Dillon '99. Just preceding the game exhibition tumbling will be given by the teams. The halves will be twelve minutes and a rest of twelve minutes. Between halves the band will play: “Fiji Two-Step,” Miss Alice Wheeler '97; ‘‘Moonlight on the Campus,” W. B. Wells '87. In the evening a typical colleze musical entertainment will be given, followed by a college dance—waltz and two-step alternat- ing throughout. The committeein charge is G. B. Wilson ’96, chairman; F. V. Keesling '98, and W. A. Sutherland '98. The clubs present will be the Glee, Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Mandolin Club and the Boys' Club.
