The crowd good naturedly cheered as the carriage Eused, but whether it was for the ladies, abies, whiskers or his Honor was not dis- tinctly made manifest. But the Judge bowed in return.

The sixth division was as attractive as any there was in the parade. Itdid not lack*in special features, The sixth divi- sion formed on Front street and fell into Market street with precision as the line moved up to it. First came Marshal Robert R. Russ and bis staff, Chisf Aid Captain John T. Scott and aids, Lieutenant W. G. Wimmer, R. T. Morris, G. W. Cavanaugh, P. Cronin, R. Pengelly, J. J. Jamison and F.W. Wisker. Matthews' band had 1ts place directly before the Native Sons of the Golden West and their beautiful banners and several flags floating in the breeze. Two parlors of Native Sons about fifty strong each turned out, They were California Parlor No. 1 and Precita Parlor No. 187, Aloft in & beautiful float, behold the Goddess of Liberty, Miss Jennie L. Hed- berg, representing *‘Columbia Rules the World.” Miss Hedbergz was crowned and she sat on a high throne holding a spear in her right hand. At her feet was a larger globe, representing the earth rest- ing upon banks of clouds. At the foot of the globe sat cule little Miss Rene Hen- derson, in white wig and continental cos- tume, representing the immortal George Washington at the age when he cut down | THE FOURTH OF JULY PARADE PASSING THE CORNER the cherry tree and never told a lie.

Ehr- OF MARKET AND THIRD STREETS man & Hauser’s band was heard next. The battle-ship Oregon and employes of the Union Iron Works covered a good deal of ground and were as prominent a feature of the parade as there was in it. Every- | body was interested in the miniature Ore- gon belching real fire and smoke and the sound of battle from its real steel guns. Smoke poured from the smokestack. The battle-ship was carried on an immense float drawn by six proud, decorated horses, with riders as well as a driver. It was decorated with flags after the manner of a real battle-ship. The many guns fired blank cartridges all along the parade from Front street to the counter march on Van Ness avenue. There was a dog on the hurricane deck labeled “Mascot.” On the two sides of the battle-ship were these in- scriptions in black letters: “OQur Latest ‘Baby,”” *16.79 Knots,” *‘Protection,’’ *“Labor.” Behind the model of the Oregon marched about 1200 workmen of the Union Iron ‘Works., Some carried banners, others clamps, and the rivet boys were there holding rivets in tongs. The electrival- workers brought up the rear, riding ina covered wagon decorated with flags, The Seventh Division. The seventh division was conspicuous for several features. It was composed en- tirely of the Junior Order of United Ameri- can Mechanics and ‘“ The Little Red Schoolhouse.” It formed on First street, and stepped into Market street after the sixth division. Mark Lane was marshal, chief aid, L. M. McCord, and other aids were Mr. Quiry, Z. T. Whitten and Charles Klein. Ritzau's band marched after the mar- shals. : Then in brilliant fil-toons came the Junior Order of United American Me. chanics in the following order: Lincoln Council No. 1, General George Custer Council No. 2, Starr King Council No. 6, U. 8. Grant Council No. 19, J. A. Garfield Council, Alexander Hamilton Council No, 35. Most of the councils carried pampas grass plumes of red, white and biue, the three colors in a cluster. They made a pretty sizht as they fluttered in the breeze. They numbered about 700. A Continentat drum corps which divided the councils ‘was a unique feature, The float the ““District School,” painted red, brought up the rear. It was the typical little red school, with doors and window and brick chimney in the center of the rouf. A whitewashed picket fence surrounded it, and inside the fenee in iront of the schoolhouse was a group of | children, several ladies and a man con- spicuous in Continental costume. At each angle of the fence was a corner-post of | fluttering flags. The children waved dags. The float was drawn by four white horses. | There were about a dozen guards, some on horseback, around the little red school- house. It was occasionally cheered along the line of march. The Eighth Division, Division Eighth, while probably the smallest in the procession, proved to be one of the most interesting. The officers were A, A. Sarment, marshal; B, Raddie, chief aid: C. Monte, M. Tovaruz and M. Mortizia, aids. | _First came the officers in command and —————————————————— NEW TO-DAY) ma THE OWL DRUGC CO., CUT-RATE : DRUGGISTS. JUST FOR THE ASKING.
