SAVORY ODORS FILL THE WOO0DS | | Five Thousand People Feed While | Mirth and Music Float Through 1 the Air. | MONTEREY, Car., July 5.—The second | day of the celebration of Monterey’s cen- | tennial.has been a most interesting one. There was nothing on the programme un- til after church hours, but noon found nearly all of the population of the quaint | old town in the pines back of the Govern- | ment reservation taking partin a real old- | fashioned Mexican picnic. | The principal feature of the picnic was | the barbecue, and a most successful one | it proved. For this part of the entertain- | ment expert cooks had been brought from | a distance and at midnight last-night had | begun their preparations for the banquet. i The trenches had been dug beforehand, "but the cooks built fires in them of se- lected wood. Asoneload of fuel burned down another was piled on, until by 10 o'clock this morning each trench was| filled with a bed of live coals that emitted | heat, but no smoke. | By 11 o’clock the picknickers began to | arrive. The meat was piled onto a wire | grating laid over the fire. As the-meat be- | &an to cook the fragrant pine forest was | filled with savory odors and a pale blue smoke ascended heavenward. Undersome of the largest trees long tables had been built and provided with plates for many thousands of people. Everybody helped | themselves and took their favorite cuts of tender meat. When the feast was at its height it jormed a pretty picture. The bright dresses of the senoritas and the uniforms of the boysin blue moving gently in the sunlight, and thrown into strong relief against the dark shadows of the pines, was a scene to delight an artist. The feast con- sumed several hours, and during that time nearly 5000 people were fed. There was music and dancing and the woods rang with langhter, and not until the evening shadows fell did the merry-makers leave the scene. At one time some of the masculine feasters became hilarious and threw fruit and meat at one another. They were not very bad natured, however, and no great damage was done. The men-of-war shared the bonors to- day with other points of interest and ate tracted thousands from the barbecue. Large delepations came to town from Salinas, Hollister, Pacific Grove and the whole surrounding country, swelling tne crowds on the streets to unprecedented proportions. Bicycle clubs mingled with uniformed fire companies of different | towns, and the visitors were all resplen- | dent with distinctive badges. Every one on the streets wore one or more jubilee badges, while many carried tiny photo- graphs of Commodore Sloat, or souvenir badges made of shells of Monterey and enameled pictaresof the Mexican Custom- house. These, with bows of tri-colored rib- bon for personai decorations, and the lav- ish profusion of bunting and National flags, gave Monterey a brilliant’ gala ap- pearance. But the bay was tempting; so were the white ships, and ‘all day long strings of- boats plied ‘between the wharf and the men-of-war, carrying crowd after crowd over the water. Ex-Governor Pacheco met Jacob R. Leese, and they taiked over old times, so pld that’49is new in comparison. They Bpoke about the first house in San Fran- cisco,built by Mr. Leese’s father in 1837, gnd of later days in Monterey, long before the American flag was hoisted. A pioneer of ’49was in the group, and mentioned in- cidents now historical. “But-that was so long after,” remarked Pacheco good naturedly, “that it is mod- Brn, and I'm a pretty healthy boy yet.” In the afternoon there was a Young Men’s Christian Association meeting in the pavilion. J. L. Speares, State secre- tary, and IL. J. McCoy, general secretary, | Grove became entangled with one of the | bluejackets. | when presently the sailor reeled under a | banded themselves together and drove and others, spoke on association work., It N was &n enthusiastic meetipg of some of the best element in the local community. ! There was a really enjoyable dance in | the pavilion at night. Large crowds at- | tended and enjoyed the fun, and the sol- | diers and sailors were present in force and The San Jozquin Association of the Vet- erans ot the Mexican War will arrive Mon- Murray. —re NOT ON THE PROGRAMME. An Amateur Boxer Succeeds in Gettlng Up a Real Battle. MONTEREY, CaL., July 6.—Early this morning when the sailors and soldiers were over-jolly, a visitor from Pacific One word followed another, blow. Jack was plucky and jumped up like a flash at his enemy. He got the best of the fight, at which the citizen’s friends took & hand in the row. There happened to be about 200 or 300 of Uncle Sam's men on the ground, and immediately they back the attacking party. Numbers in- creased in the opposition g0 that the citi- zens had a strong mob, but the sailors knew their business and with the soldiers they won a battle which was not on the bill. Some cut heads and bruised faces were the result, as the army and navy was overpowering and did not wish to carry the fight farther than a comparatively peaceful victory. The fight was brought about by an amateur boxer boasting he could *“do’” any Sharkey the sailors had on board their ships. " It started in a saloon on Al- varado street sand worked out into the street. By this time the mob had grown to very large proportions and met the blue jackets face to face. It was then after midnight and only rioters and carnival celebrators were out of doors. Still they formed a pretty strong | G. C., and staff left for Los Angeles, hav- ing been the guests of honor of Camp Phil Sheridan since Friday. 7They were wined and dined by the citizens’ committee to- day, in addition to being driven over the line of the proposed Ojai road. This evening Superior Judge Buckles of Solano County arrived and was escorted to the camp by Commander Downing, Captain Tom Laycock and Colonel John B. x:‘irouker. He will be the guest of houor to-morrow (Monday), which will be cele- bratea as Huenenie day, an excursion to that place being the special order of the day. V’Vednexdny wil! be observed by the members of the Ladies’ Aid Society, anx- iliary to the Sons of Veterans. A concert by Spanish guitar and mandolin players will be the feature of the ceremonies. The city is still crowded with visitors, each incoming train adding to the crowd already here, AUBURN'S CELEBRATION. A Home Affair Marred by the Accidental Killing of a Boy. AUBURN, Car., July 5—Auburn cele- brated the Fourth in the usual manner, with literary exercises, racing, horribles and a grand open-air dance on the plaza. General Jo Hamilton acted as president of the day and Hon. John M. Fulweiler delivered the oration. The Declaration of Independence was read by B. B. Deming. It was simply a town affair, there being big celebrations at Dutch Flat, Rocklin, Lincoln and other towns throughout the county. The pleasure was somewhat marred by George Xitts, a seven-year-old boy, being run over by a buggy and killed. Auburn furnished orators for other parts of the county as follows: Judge Prewett at Dutch Flat, District Attorney Cham- berlain at Lincoln and School "Superin- tendent Smith at Rocklin. e A DELEGATION FROM DELMONTE VIEw THE REMAINS regiment and both sides fought with de- termination. Almost from the beginning the sailors and soldiers had the mastery | and slowly they forced the mob backward, | fizhtinf every inch of the way with their fists. It was such a manly display that the officers said, ““Let them fight it out.” So the battle continued until the mob bad been driven backward about a block over what afterward proved to be a bloody street. The cbief special policeman was twirled about like a baton in the hands of a drum-major. and his best suit of clothes was ruined. The officers could only look on until the battle was over. Sl VETERANS AT VENTURA. Impressive Sabbath Services at Camp Phil Sheridan. VENTURA, Carn. July 5.—Memorial Sunday was strictly observed at Camp Phil‘8heridan, Peyv. Will Knighton, chap- lain of the association, preaching the me- morial sermon. The services were more than ordinarily impressive, a marked feature of special in- terest being the reading of the roll of honor composed of those members of the association who answered the last muster call since the encampment of 1895, As each name was called the drummer beat three taps on s muffled drum; when the last name was reached the hugle sounded taps and the vacant chairs were decorated with floral wreaths by members of the Sons of Veterans ana the Ladies’ Aid Society. The music furnished by the Pomona Quartet and Veterans’ Fife and Drum Corps, made up of original selections, was especially interesting and aaded to the impressiveness of the ceremonies, which were largely attended by citizens and vet- erans. This evening General C. F. A. Last, N. WALES CREW AT HENLEY Taking a Rest Before the Great Trial Contest To- Morrow. Odds of Three to Two Against the Americans Winning Are Sought For. HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Exa., July 5.— The weather to-day was clear and very warm, but so fsr as known the heat has had no appreciable effect on the members of the Yale crew, who are ull well. No work was done by the Americans to-aay, all the men resting after their week’s practice, and nothing unusual oc- curring they will go to the starting line as fit as any crew who start in the race for the Grand Challenge cup, in the first trial heat of which on Tuesday the Leander and Yale crews will contest against each other. There has been no betting of note on the event. Some Yale men are willing to take odds of 3 to 2 against the Americans winning, The preliminary work of the crew has been practically finished, and the men say that to-morrow they will only do a little light work to keep themselves in shape for the strain of Tuesday. Many visitors arrived to-day, and the usual fashionable Henley crowd will be present to witness the racing. i AN e ” i ¥ m;:mf..'.'«’"f‘.‘."d bt Wt 7 i PLUn il SR ..F.;.

The Umpire Gave the Garden City Representatives a Harsh Deal. FERRY'S FOUL MISFORTUNES. A Good Baseball Game Bsfore a Good Crowd at the Folsom.Street Grounds. There was a rattling good game of ball at the Folsom-street grounds yesterday afternoon, despite the fact that the score was very one-sided. Both teams put up an extra fine fielding game, bat the Oak- lands easily outbatted the San Joses. The latter is about as lizht-weight an organi- zation as has been seen here for a long time. With the addition of a trio of heavy hitters they would, however, compare favorably with any team in the league. Steffiani, the Garden City twirler, has excellent control of the bgll and is a fairly good pitcher, but as a fielder he is not up to much. Asa batter he is a rank failure, Out of four chances at bat he struck out three times. G. Foley, the San Jose third baseman, tied Steflani's poor record. Doyle's excetlent pitching had much to do with the poor stick work of the South- erners, but it is doubtful if they could have beaten the Oaklands, no matter how hard they hit, .for Umpire Donahue was manifestly prejudiced against them. Donahue is a poor-umpire, if his work of yesterday is a fair sample. His judgment as to balls and strikes was particularly bad. Then he called McCarthy safe at the plate in the last inning when that player did not come within three feet of touch- ing the rubber. Oakland was first at bat, and at once be- gan the run-getting. After Zann had been retired, Hanley hit safely, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Scott’s long fly to center. *‘Blockers’’ tallied another in the third on his second single, a stolen base and Scott’s safedrive to rfiht. 2 In the fifth, hits by Doyle, Hanley, Til- son and Leonard, aided by the San Jose’s only error, resulted in making Oakland’s total five. The Garden City men gained their only runs in_ the seventh. Robinson led off with a hit to left field. Ferry flew out. | Graham got his base on balis and Foley | forced him at second, which base Foley subsequently_stole. Percisa scored both Robinson and Graham by hitting safely to left field. Steffiani retired the side by striking out. There was no more run geiting until the ninth inning, although in the eighth San Jaose was robbed of a run by Ferry's over- anxiety. Ferry was first at bat in this inning and sent three long fouls along the third base line, any one.of which, it fair, would have been a two-bagger. In one instance he was particularly unfortunate, for the wind carried the ball quite a dis- tance and landed it only a few inches out- side the line. Ferry finally sent a slow grounder to third, Brown fumbled it and Ferry tried to make second on the play, but was thrown out. Graham, the next man up, sent a long fly into midale garden on which he easily got two bases and on which Ferry could have readily scored from first. e In the last inning the Oaklands warmed to their work, and, aided by Donahue’s poor deeision, piled up six runs. Hanley got a base on balls after Zann had fanned out. Scott followed with a double, scoring Hanley. Brown struck out. Tilson and Leonard then hit safely and Scott came home. Delmas took first for being hit by a pitched ball. McCarthy waited for four bad ones and the bases were fillea. Doyle and Zann singled, Tilson, Leonard, Del- mas anda Mcéarthy scoring. Leonard should have been called out at the plate, which wonld have retired the side with four runs. Hanley ended the agony by a fly to left field. The San Joses went out in order in their half of the final inning. Score: OAKLANDS. AB R 1B 8B PO.

The Imperials De: ed the Paclfics at Presidio Athletic Park. About 600 people witnessed a pretty con- test at Presidio Athletic Park yesterday, in whicn the Imperials defeated the Paci- fics by a score of 9 to 7. Pitcher McCarthy was on hand to offi- ciate in the box for the Pacifics, but Kelly of the Imperials regained his old form and held down his opponents in great style. Not a run was scored on either side until the third inning, when the Imperials bunched four hits and got three men around. The Pacifics, however, got two runs in their haif of the third, added two more in the fourth, and apparentl clinched the game by culling an sdd{- tional three in the sixth. The Imperials, however, then got on their mettle and piled up five tallies in the seventh and eighth. To put a clincher on the game they added another in the final innin, 3 K-lfy and McCarthy fielded their posi- tions excellently, and Monahan made the star play of the rme in the fifth, when he captured a high liner from Kelly’'s bat. McDermott made a great one-hand catch in the seventh. Score: ni.

OPERN SUNG I8 TALIY, Is “Crispino e la Comare” Given at the Standard Theater. A Work in Which Several Local Performers Distinguished Them- selves. A well-known Italian opera, “Crispino ela Comare,” was rendered last night at the Standard Theater by a company of local Italian performers, headed by G. Panizza. There was a good audience present and the singers were greeted with frequent ap- plause. The opera is one of the old school, with plenty of melody, and, like all the old operas, it gives the performers pienty of opportunities for displayine vocal agility. Mrs. Flora Peterman, the prima donna, was a stranger to most of the audience, and it was very evident from her acting that she was unused to appearing on the stage, but the way in which she took ad- vantage of her vocal opportunities won her the warmest applause. She has a sweet, flexible voice of the soprano-leg- giero order which. in its flute-like quality, recalls Emma Nevada's. Mrs. Peterman has not at present the training and expe- rience of a prima donna, but she showed last night that the possibilities are there, and when she shook off her nervousness and lost some of her tremolo her singing was very charming. G. Panizza, the Crispino of the cast, is well known here as an excellent artist. Last night he was the mainstay of the whole performance. He sang and acted his own part with all the verve and finish of the exverienced opera singer that he is. He also llfl)ell’.d to know everyone else’s role as well as his own, for when a ner- vous amateur hesitated for want of a word or a musical g:rne Panizza always came to the rescue before he waslost, and in one or two cases he took up a lost thread of dialogue with such ready wit that the bouse laughed and applauded. The story of *‘Crispino e la Comare’’ tells bow a poor Venetian cobbler was befriended by a sort of fairy sodmother. ‘With her assistance he was enabled to pose most successfully as a great doctor, for whenever the patient was going to die the fairy godmother appeared, and when she stayed away Crispino could safely predict recovery. After subduing the opposition of the learned doctors, whose diagnoses he f:;oved to be wrong, CrisPino finally fell m his successful position through his wife, who grew jealous of the fairy, and for the sake of domestic peace he foreswore the ‘“Comare” and reiurned to his cob- bler’s bench. 600D SHOOTING ACROSS THE BAY. Close of the Tournagent Shoot at Alameda Point. INCREASED ATTENDANCE Six Open Matches in Which a Great Many Contestants Entered. PROTEST IN THE CLUB SHOOT. Although the Stocktons Tied the Re- liance Team, They Received No Money. The attendance at the second day’s shooting at the Pacific Tournament Asso- ciation opening shoot on their new grounds at Alameda Point yesterday was considerably larger than on Saturday. The shooting was good, the work of Clarence Naumann, who made such a good rccord at Saturday’s shoot, being espegially good. The only trouble during the day arose over the division of mpney in the club shoot. The Reliance Club and the Stock- ton Athletic Club teams tied at 121 points, but a protest was made against awarding half the money to the Stockton team on the ground that the team was not com- vosed of Btockton men, but had been picked on the grounds yesterday. A meet- ing of the officers of the association had to be called to settle the difficulty, which was finally ended by the Stockton team withe drawing its entrance money and the event being awarded to the Reliance Club, Lin- coln Club taking second money. The events of yesterday’s shoot were: Event No. 1—10 birds, entrance 50 cents, fonr moneys. _Event No, 215 birds, entrance 75 cents, six moneys, $10 added. _Event No. 3—15 birds, entrance 75 cents, six moneys, $10 added.

SEATTLE, Wasw., July 5—Major George C. Reid, U. 8. N., Adjutant In- spector of the Marine Corps, Frrlved_nr. Seattle to-night via the Canadian Pacific from Washington city. 5 His trip West is of a great deal oflxm- portance to the Pacific Coast, especially Puget Sound. After making a hurried visit to the Government marine sta- tion at Sitka, Alaska, for which place he goes to-morrow on the steamship Quaen, Major Reid will return here and make a formal inspection of the Puget Sound naval station at Port Or- chard, where be will locate a garrison of 100 marines. This done the inspector will proceed to San Francisco and make his annual inspection of the garrison at Mare Island. - “I regard the Puget Sound naval station as of great importance,”” Major Reid said in discussing the question of coast de- fense, *‘as it is the only one on the Pacific coast between San Francisco and Sitka, being also on the border of the British possessions. It should really have 300 ma- rines from the very start. - g “The question of the coast defenses, the Major continued, *is one of vital im- ortance, and the Pacific Coast is fortunate in having so able and earnest an advocate of such matters as United States Senator Squire at the head of the Committee on Coast Defenses. A ’ “The running appropriation, involving nearly $80,000,000, part of which 1s naw available for coast-defense purposes, was secured mainly through the efforts of Sen- ator Squire.” Major Reid said the Government is con- sidering the advisability of establishing an army post in Alaska, possioly on tha Yukon. It is the intention of the in- spector to have 100 marines, all of whom will be taken from Eastern stations, transferred to the Puget Sound station as soon as he retnrns East. LIS WGELES LENTER Fred Bennion, a Life Insurance Man, Leaves for Lower Cali- fornia. An Accomplished Wife and Many Creditors Are Anxious as to His Welfare. LOS ANGELES, Can, July 5—Fred Bennion, well known among life insurance men of this city and San Francisco, has found it convenient to fold his tent and steal silently away to Lower California, where friendly extradition laws will never- more permit his creditors to molest or make him afraid. Bennion is an Englishman of speedy habitsizand an exceedingly oily tomgue. He has been known here for some months asithe “Lightning Life Insurance Agent.’’ H. E. Maxson of the Mutual Life says that Fred could do as much business in one week as the average canvasser could in six months. But he has gone where insur- | ance men trouble not the populace, and | several creditors are “where he is at.” In addition to a popular tailoring firm and an astute local hotel manager, one bank is out of pocket about $300 for hav- ing honored one of Bennion’s checks. Bennion's first work on this coast was for A. B.
