16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1896. HAYWARDS FLUTTERED IN COLORS. She Gave a Hospitaple May Day Greeting to the Grand Council of the Young Men JOY THE SENTIMENT OF THE DAY. There Were a Parade in the Morning and High Jinks at Night. SAN DIEGO'S ASTUTE PRETZEL CLUB. A Fine Body of Young Men Repre. senting All Parts of the State Was There. HAYWARDS, Can, May 20.—The pretty viillage of Haywards, its neat white houses nesthing among the green orchards in the lovely foothills, fluttered in gay bunting to-day. Old Glory from the big arch and from many a housetop shone as a flame against the deep blue of the Cali- fornian sky and its stars and stripes were repeated in miniature on the beautiful silk badges of the X. M. I. All Haywards was Maydaying in honor of ihe representatives of the institute. Awnings, cornices and balconies were festooned with cypress anch floral loops and the National colors. Every one 's Institute. [ ‘nf the art of good-fellowsbip held undis- | puted sway. | Company C, League of the Cross, showed | that there were no barnacles in its make- up when it gave an exhibition drill in the afternoon, which was witnessed by a very | large crowd of interested and delighted spectators. An hour later the doors of | N. 8. G. W. Hall were thrown open to the | voung men and young women for a dance, | and it is almost neediess to mention that the pretty girls of Haywards availed them- selves of the opportunity of whirling in | the fascinating mazes of the waltz. | At night there was a short session of the institute, followed by a high jinks later on. { The jinks were high, indeed, the enter- | { tainment being of first-class quality. | Something must be said about the per- | sonnel of the visitors. They represented | | lks of life and comprised mechan- ns, lawyers, judges, teachers and writers. That they represented what was high and good in the commuuities whence came was apparent in the gentle- | manly manner in which they deporte: themselves. There was not from the be- | ginning of the visit up to closing time to- night a single incident of unpleasantness. Sheltered from harsh winds by the low | | foothills of the coast range, Haywards is a | calm and warm belt to itself. The sunny | south is not more sunny, the citrus lands | of Riverside and San Diego are no more | delightfully warm than Haywards is to- | night. While the young moon is riding | on a fleeting wrack of clouds the streets of | | Haywards blaze with electric lamps and | the warm air is resonant with harmonious | song. Cadets seated in a semicirclein front | as the two columns instinctively s: avenues separating the two parallel rows of expectant faces, there was at first no active life in the picture. Suddenly, however, all was animation yed forward with a common impulse. Every face was turned upon a cavalcade of black horses rounding a corner some distance down the line. Conspicuous at the fore was a single white charger, lightly pranc- ing and indifferent to the weight of his rider. On they came, heading an ever- increasing procession, down upon which 10,000 eyes looked and saw the rythmical pulsation of men marching in regular order made possible by martial music. Here and there down the approaching column particular features caught the eye and heightened the eagerness for a nearer view. Cross-emblazoned banners carried aloft suggested the historic marches to the Crusades, but the emblem that never changes through changing time was sur- rounded by tokens of a century far ad- | vanced beyond medieval ideals. A fire brigade, Haywards’ pride, stood out vividly because of the gay contrast it formed to the more somber tones of what came before. Red-shirted men drawing a hose-cart that appeared only asa preity ornament to exemphfy artistic and decorative skill in a dispiay of bunting and flowers; a loug hook and ladder wagon drawn by two white horses and also effectively clothed n holiday garb—tnese were the features of the procession. But wait; there isa more eager stir—a murmur of approving voices. The crown- ing glory of the day is rounding the cor- ner and it Is tacitly awarded the prize. High over the heads of the approaching column and apparently floating gently along comes the barge of state with its load of Native Daughters. California, all in white, sits a queen on high, under the broad canopy of a giant oriental parasol, and surrounding her, ated upon steps rising to the throne, are charming girls, each coquettishly holding The Fine Floral Arch on the Principal Street Under Which the Y. M. I. Procession Passed. | ance. Stanton, Tom Silya, Henry Garcia, A. L. Graham, B. Rose, T. Thomas. Grand Marshal George Tait, escorted by ten other horsemen, rode next in order. ‘The Oakland band of sixteen members in dark-blue uniforms lead the main body and set the marching time for Company C, League of the Cross Cadets of San Francisco, who, with sabers drawn and neat uniforms, presented a fine appear- Then came the high officers of the Y. M. L In the first carriage were Supreme President John J. McDade, Grand Presi- dent John Lynch, Grand Second Vice- President Rev. McKinnon, Grand Secre- tary Stanley and Grand Treasurer O'Don- neil. Next rode the foremost clergy of the asemblage: Father Yorke, Chanceilor of the Diocese; Father McNally of Oakland, and Father Zabresky of Monterey. Other officers followed in four surreys, and after them marched the coiplete delegation in attendance upon the Grand Council, a company of 160 strong. Nine men with high sil hats and alder- manic mien reclined easily in a carriage, and it was not difficult to guess that they were the Town Trustees. Behind them were the fire laddies, the chief and his assistant riding in advance and setting the example in elaborate decorations. Oakland Council with thirty-five men, all carrying United States flags, led the way for the San Leandro band, whose gorgeously arrayed drum major, William Oakes, was the one bright, particular in- dividual to be singled out from the crowd, and behind the brightly uniformed musi- cians marcied San Jose's twenty-five rep- resentatives with the Pioneer Council of San Francisco close behind with its dele- gation of fourteen. Washington Council 4 led the way, for twolarge covered buses, in which mem- bers from Oakland and fair ones not mem- bers enjoyed the common privilege of tak- ing part in the general triumph. Captain E. P. Fitzgerald, in command of Company C of St. Mary’s Parish, San Francisco, marshaled his well-trained ca- dets as they came erect and stepping lightly to the music. San Francisco Coun- cil 34, with seventy men, and San Fran- cisco Council 35, with thirty men, were followed by ten men from the Livermore Council. y Then there was a delightful variation. Women, fair women, surrounded by roses tastefully arranged upon the equipages in which they rode, caught the eye and held the attention. The four beautiful biack | borses driven by Miss Nora Stanton were only a feature compared with the pas- sengers they drew. With the fair driver sat Miss Kirwin; on the middle seat were | Miss Annie Haas and Miss Kate Stanton, and on the rear seat were Miss McKeever and Miss Kate Cahill. In equally pleasing contrast came a two- seater drawn by a team of white horses driven by Miss Mamie McKeever, who had as companions Miss Mary Welsh, Mrs. McKeever and Miss Ethel McKeever, all shaded by pretty Japanese parasols. Then, oh, then, the float, with its six | white horses and its charming corps of | feminine innocence, with queenly Miss | Christina Haas as ‘‘California;”’ with viva- | cious Florence Hatch and fair little Lulu | Ubhoff, with the Misses Flora Paimrag, Lena Palmtag, Millie Nauert, Emma Thierbach, Annie May, Katie Eggert, Julia Welt, Lottie Welt, Rosie Stroble, Ella Bridge, Blanche Bridge, Mausie Neudeck, Ella Garrettson, Agnes Ramage, Frances Schneider, Elsie Smyth and Olive Wing. Following the Native Daughters were twenty-two members of the local parlor, N. 8. G. W., cool, neat-looking in their straw hats and white negligee flannel shirts, decorated with a broad red, white and blue sash. In somber black walked the Portuguese Union of Haywards, sixty-seven men in the company, and followed by the Portu- guese priest in a buggy with the editor of the Portuguese paper. The four ladies of the general commit- tee sat aglow with smiles, enjoying the climax of their successful efforts to make the Grand Council meeting an auspicious occasion, and most happy was Frank P. Hooson, the chairman. Following afoot were fourteen otbers. Seven boys in blue jackets, red fezes and red trousers of a complete zouave costume did themselves proud with their drums and formed one of the best features of the long parade. After, the local council, citizens and visi- tors in carriages. But while the spectacular event of the | day attracted all attention there were | other things doing. At 9 o’clock the | 1ate hour, and the rosy bowl of friendship | green hills that overlook Coronado to the { Grand "Council went into secret session | wishes and blessings to the Grand Council. As to-morrow’s elections approach the field of candidates increases and surprises seem to be in store. D. J. Gallagher of Fresno and Sheeba of San Francisco are the talk so far for grand president, unless Lynch should ac- cept renomination. McHenry of San Luis Obispo, St. Sure of Alameda, Prince- valle of Menlo and F. B. Hooton of this place are the most prominently mentioned possibilities as grand directors. Secre- retary Stanley will probably be re-elected. Denike of San Jose is named for grand first vice-president, and Aggeler, his fel- low townsman, is mentioned for grand treasurer. This afternoon Company A, League of the Cross Cadets of San Francisco, gave an exhibition near the arch, going through a large number of difficult military mov ments to the delight of a big crowd of spec- | Y tators, Atnoon and again in the evening the ladies of the Presbyterian, the Congrega- tional and Episcopal churches, assisted at each place by attractive young ladies as waitresses, served meals as an aid to the funds of their respective churches. For over two hours in the afternoon a great crowd thronged the main ballroom and the smaller danceroom at.N. 8. G. W. Hall, where an informal dance was en- joyed by merry couples that dared to at- tempt to glide through the crush. Lgderes THE HIGH JINKS. Pleasure Was Queen of the May at the Festal Board Last Evening. HAYWARDS, Cav., May 20.—After the institute session this evening the delegates held high jinks in Native Sons’ Hall. The building was covered with flags, bunting and evergreens and the large hall in the interior was decorated in a similar man- ner. Most royal was the spread and it was done justice to, but the feast of fun and the flow of wit and song that followed were the most enjoyable features of all. The jinks were opened with an overture by the Oakland Concert band, after which Frank B. Hoosan, the Haywards agent for THE CALL, introduced William Ahern of San Francisco Council No. 55 as mod- erator of the evening. The programme was varied and in- cluded wrestling, boxing, music, etc. There was club-swinging by Slamberg, boxing by Slamberz and Hammersly, Cerini and Fox, a four-round bout by Mul- vihill and Silver, wrestling by Gelder and Platt, high jumping by Al Lean, barn- | yard melodies by C. Ericcson, heavy lift- ing by Al Lean, a chorus by the Reliance Giee Club of twelve, songs by the Hay- wards trio (Enos, Reed and Poweli), | tenor solo by Tony Enos, bass solo by George Beebe, witticisms by J. E. | Crooks, solo by William O'Brien, special- | ties by Richard Whalen, James O’ Donnell, | Daniel O’Callahan, George Knox ana W. | Walton; bass solo by John McAuliffe, reci- tation by Krank McGlynn, baritone solo by George Devine, recitation by Frank Murasky, cornet solo by Matt Grennan, skirtdance by George Hammersley, song and stories by Alexander Rosborough, be- sides a list of volunteer songs and stories. The festivities were continued until a 5 was passed around. San Diego’s Pretzels. The jolly and witty leader of the San Diego delegation transplanted from the green hillsof Haywards one of the most | popular institutions of that part of the citrus belt, which lies next to the sound- ing sea, namely, a pretzel club. A genu- ine pretzel is the badge of the order, and it is not allowed to be worn outside of tne coat until after 11 p. M., the hour at which pretzels are usually washed down with their appropriate liquid. The Badge. The badge worn by the delegates is of artistic design. Itisof silk witha cellu- loid medal. On thesilk are painted two American flags surmounting the great seal | of California. On the medal are the words, “Young Men’s Institute; Pro Deo, Pro Patria,” with a red cross and an olive- branch beneath. FOUGHT FOUR ROUNDS.| Two District Messenger Boys Engage in a Lively Bare-Knuckle Fight. Two messenger boys, Tom Barrington, alias the Spider, and Charles McDonald, had a lively four-round_fight yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. Bad hlood has ex- isted between the two boys for some time, was ou the streets also to swell the wel- come and to contribute to the general hilarity, for Haywards felt that she was honored by the presence of the finest body of young men that had ever stepped within herorchard gates. They represented the youth, the enterprise, the intelligence and the progress of all parts of the State, and each division, as it marched through the principal streets amid the applause from the crowds on the sidewalks, made 2 splendid showing of the section of the State from which it hailed. The rising generation of San Francisco was represented by two companies, A of St. Mary’s Cathedral and C of St. Patrick’s League of the Cross Cadets, the former company acting as escort to the grand del- egates and the latter to Council No. 34 of 8an Francisco. Haywards, ever noted for its hospitality, maintained its reputation in that regard | to-day. Chief of Police Ramage and a mounted platoon headed the parade. Board of Trustees of the city also turned out to do honor to the occasion and the Fire Departments of Haywards and San | Leandro were a picturesque feature of the | affair. Cypress Camp, Woodmen of the World, and the Haywards Road Club, scorchers on the rubber tire, were also in the line | and went down all along the line with the Test. The institute sessions were brief, and be. tween them pleasure and the cultivation ——— e NEW TO-DAY. SKin Came 0ff 1 had an obetinate skin digease, called Eczema.

The Parade Was One Finest Ever Seen Haywards. HAYWARDS, Car., May 20.—The his- tory of a people or of a town may be con- sidered as divided into stages, marked off by distinctive events that must ever stand out figuratively, as mileposts set along a | new-formed roadway, never to be retray- eled, but ever to be looked back upon as | an incentive to even better achievements. To-day Haywards reached a climaxin her history, and began a new era to be dated from a great concourse of people gathered in solid masses along her sidewalks to wit- ness the spectacle of a procession that, with all it’s features, constituted such a brilliant sight as is seldom seen, except when the conditions of a great city make elaborate spectacular displays less diffi- cult to produce. When the Native Sons’ Hall was dedi- | cated on the Fourth of July five years ago, everything combined to attract hundreds upon hundreds of persons to this pretty town of homes nestling among fruit trees. But to-day when the Grand Council of the Y. M. L, united with organizations from neighboring and from distant towns, | marched with eager step and glad hearts through the streets, that other celebration became ouly an event in the days gone by, | for it can no longer hold the first place as | & local pride to those who recall what has | been. That imaginary crown that graced | the brow of the N. 8. G. W. personified is | now among the jewels gathered by another | fraternal order of young men, one the chief motive of which is religion coupled with State pride and patriotism. { There were 5000 people lined several deep along the main streets—pretty girls | in summer dress, matrons, men and small boys. Abouve their heads and stretching along over the walls of compact humani- ty were the fantastic decorations lavished upon the low business buildings until the | scene resembled, in general, something as- | sociated only with the wild conception of | a scgnic artist unfaithful to naturg. For, excepting the lazy movement of hundreds of banners and flags suspended over the of In the | ing the breadth of the street. | The Native Daughters’ Float in the Young Men’s Institute Parade in Haywards.

It all formed a symphony in white, set off by American flags and by the rich orange tints of countless esch- scholtzias. The head of the parade presented a charming picture of prancing, spirited horses, but the last feature was not less impressive. The whole local council, Y. M. I, came along four abreast, occupy- Each man wore a white straw hat and carried a fancy Japanese parasol, under which a smiling countenance proclaimed a local vride heightened by conscious success. Then of the details of the parade: Fore- most, with aides abreast, rode like a Napoleon to victory the Chief of Police, W. J. Ramage, and with him were the fol- lowing deputies, wearing black slouch hats and broad red sashes over their shoulders: John Miller, F. Flores, Johr Rodgers, Milo Knox, George Grindell, P. Hoare, J. and continued until nearly 11, slightly de- laying the parade. And again in the afternoon the law-makers convened and discussed the by-laws section by section until after 5 o’clock. Five new delegates were received—J. F. McDonnell of 74, Frank McGlynn of 35, W. N. Harrington of 31,J. Ahern of 55, and A. J. Green 0f23. And in accordance with a telegram from Fatber O'Neil so requesting James Kenney was elected an alternate from Council 3. The committee of law and supervision was ordered to report to-morrow morning at the session opening at 9:30. A Atelegnm was read from Santa Rosa offering to entertain the next Grand Council. Congratulatory messages were received frorn Bishops Mora and Mont- gomery of Los Angeles, and from Father Grace, acticg Bishop of BSacramento. Father Yorke delivered a verbal message | from the Archbishop expressing his good | and earlier in the evening they had a street fight, the only result being an un- dentanfiing to meet later in the night and settle their differences with bare fists. . Just where the encounter took place is in doubt, some saying that it occurred at Corbett’s, others at the Midway Plaisance, and a few that the White Wings saloon was the scene of the battle. At all events four fierce rounds were fought with bare knuckles, resulting in a draw. Barrington’s face is slightly marked, and McDonald said to have lost two or three teeth in the scrimmage. The gxincipnll re not at all satisfied with the result, and an effort is now being made to bring off a finish fight. .. — The Phelan Gold Medal. James D.
