The fourth division was led by John- son’s band, and Company 11, First Regi- ment, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. Colonel J. P. Avbott of the brigade staff, | Colonel W. J Kidd, Major P.J. O'Kane and Captain Kauffman of the regimental staff, were in line, Liberty Company was commanded by Captain Hassey, Lieuten- ant Dye and J. D. Moller. Durant School, Principal Dunbar, had 120 boys in line, led by a drum corps of sixteen pieces. Grant School, Miss Powell principal, had 80 children,led by a ccrps of six drums, The Central School, P. M. Fisher princi- pal. had seventy young mean in line and a drum corps of eighteen pieces. The boys marched like soldiers and made a most effective showing. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the whole procession was the company of Exempt Firemen. The men were in fuli uniform. Miles Doody was in command, with M, J. Hallaban and B. Barrettas assistants, Lee Murphy, Joe Doland and Lincoin Hallahan, as mascots, carried the colors. This company had in tow the old engine, *“Vigilant 9, which came around the Horn in 1846. Captain J. J. Harron was the only uni- formed representative of the Veterans’ Fire Association of San Francisoo in line, He is an Exempt of New York, Brooklyn, | Alameda and San Francisco. Owing to the absence of Cian Macdonald of the Scottish clans and Court Oakland of the Foresters, the fifth division was fiattened out to a certain extent. The Clawson School, Miss Colby princi- pal, was on hand with a representation of about 100 pupils and a drum corps. Lafayette School, Miss Aldnch princi- pal, also turned out in force. The sixth division was composed of the Junior Order of American Mechanics and auxiliary organizations. Johnson’s band of sixteen pieces took the lead. Then came California Commandery No. 1, United American Mechanics, in uni- form, H. L. Zimmermen commanding and G. A, Montel vice-commander. The Home Guards of San Francisco, alsc auxiliary to the Junior Order, was next in line in uniform, Major B-andon com- manding. Captain Piate, Troop A, Lieu- tenant Cohen and Lieutenant Whiting, Captain W. Peterson, Troop B, Lieutenant Manning and Lieutenant Mervin. The following was the arrangement of the San Francisco Council of the Junior Order of American Mechan Abraham Company G, commended by Cap- tain W. M. Simpson, and Company F, Captain G. H. Wethern, 1 The seconrd « sion consisted of Oak- | land’s egallant fire fighters. Marshal White and bis aids were followed by Chief | W. H. Fair and Assistant Chief Fred Mur- | doch in a buggy decorated with the Na- | tional colors. i @ Behind the Chief's buggy ‘came chemi- cal engine 1, driven by L. W. Calvert, and ridden by Foteman W. B. Smith and Stew- | ard John Fitzsimmons. The engine was artistically draped with tlags and bunting | and banked with white lillies and cypress. Hose Truck 3, L. G. Walker driving | and Steward James Galvin with him on | The foreman and ex- | tramen of the company, attired in their | uniforms and carrving wicked looking fire | axes, which gave them quite a bellicerent | appearance, marched in irontof the truck. | This was true of all the companies, each | marching before the apparatus to which | 1t belonged. Next in turn was Engine Company 1. Stoker 8. Towne drove the heavy horses which took the prize at the receni | horse show and his delight at the honor | conterred on him showed in his glowing | countenance. The ribbons of the lighter hose wagon were handled by Louis Hoff- | man, the veteran driver. A gaudy Jap anese parasol was spread above the en- gine and from it hung draperies of red, white and blue. The drapery on the | wheels was grouped to represent stars. The hose wagon was loaded down with American flags and on it stood the silver | trophy won by the department in s.u{ Francisco. Hook and Ladder Company No.1 fol- lowed the engine. E. D. Barneit was driver, Ribbon-trimmed harness decked the huge biack horses of the truck, and | the apparatus was gay with bunting and sireamers. Division 2 was closed by engine 6, driven by Philip Reader, and its hose- cart, over which was spread a Japanese umbreila. The engine was also appropri- ately decorated, The third division was in command of Marshai P. J. Keller and Aid E. P, Wil- kins. Charles Corner, attired as Uncle Sam, came behind them. Corner, on ac- count of bhis remarkable resemblance to the popular pictorial representation of that famous personification, has long been known in Oakland by the title of *‘the naturai Uncie Sam.” He was guarded by Police Officer Rand, the oldest man on the force, who carried the old flintlock used by his grandfather in the Revolutionary War. Homeier’s concert band came next, pre- ceding the Patriarchs Militant, Oakland Canton No. 11, L. 0. 9. F., and a delega- tion from San Francisco Canton No. 5. The Oskland Canton was commanded by Captain F. B. Ogden and Lieutenants E. D. Farish and James Frank. Captain Duncan headed the San Francisco delega- tion. Colonels J. 8. White and J. H. Ap- plegate, Major F. E. Whitnev, Captain G. mith and George Kirk were also seen in line. The School Department was first seen in the Iine at this point. Lincoln School marched proudly along under supervision of Principal T., 0. Crawford. The com- pany was composed of about 200 children, under the command of Captains W. E. Dargie Jr., Harmon Edwards, Fitzmau- rice, Hannifin and P. Valentine. ALl the children wore rosettes and carried flags, while the school standards were borne haughtily aloft by Walter Ford and E. Warner. The drum corps of the school led. It consisted of fifteen boys, kept In good time by Leader Fleming and Drum- major Armstrong. Five posts of the G. A. R. followed, Lyon Post No. 8, Appomaitox Post No. 50, Por- ter, Joe Hooker and Lookout Mountain posts, Seventy of the veterans turned out under the direction of Commanders W. C. Barnes of Lyon, 8. P. Knight of Appom- attox and C. E. Lancaster of Porter posts. They were led by the Oakland Junior Drum Corps, Drum-major William Walsh. The Mexican War Veterans followed in carriages. Twenty-five of the old guard were in the parade under the direction of President Sidney J. Loop. The Prescott School children came next in order, under the command of Captains Frank Small, William Wilson, Leland Sterling, Conrad Grove, Rushton Winder- son and Lawrence Brakett. The children were supervised by Principal Gulick. At the head of the children rode little Herbert Chase, attired in colonial garb, powdered bair and all. As his diminutive palfrey pranced around the ladies just filled theair with “Isn’t he cute!” “Whose | | Lincoln Council, F. B. Dickson com- manding: Grant Council, W. H. Lord commanding; Garfield Council, C. G. Noble commanding, and Starr King Coun- cil, E. W. Close commanding; members of Alexander Hamilton Council and car- riages containing ladies of the Daughters of Liberty. The Oakland councils of the Junior Order came next, as follows: General George H. Custer Council, T. Brasdshaw commapding; General John A. Logan Council, Marston Campbell commanding; Henry Clay Coancil, W. M. Gardner com- manding, and James Monroe Council. Tue members of the Junior Order wore white canvas cap: and carried red, white and blue pampas plumes. There were about 1000 men in line. The Cole School and Tompkins &chool assigned to this division were not represented. The Alameda councils then came in turn. George Bennettand C. Irish acted as standard-bearérs for these councils. The seventh division was composed of Company D ofs the Second Regiment of the Boys’ Brigade, Captain L. Cobbledick in command; pupils of the Franklin School to the number of 150, and the Gar- fierd School, about 50 in number. The Swett School marched with the Franklin. The young drum major of the Boys' | Brigade, Cassie Turtelot, proved to be an expert in hundling the baton, and attracted only less attention than Master Herbert Chase. Following came the Mayor of Oakland, members of the City Council, Board of Education, Board of Trade, Merchants' Exchange, city and county officials and & long line of citizens in carriages. First in the eighth and last division came the Temescal school, of which Mrs. Wilson is principal, with about 150 pupils. The smaller tots were trundled along in a bus and other vehicles, while there was a carry-all for the ladies. R. Maundo, drum major, led the drum corps. The Oakland Turn Verein failed ‘“turn” oat. Fourteen bicycles took their place. A banner was carried by Wallace Clark and Everett Rose on a tandem, with Earl Williams and J. Barry as outriders. The small boy was in his glory at the appearance of the Piute Indians. They rode mettlesome ponies and were in fall war costume, including the red paint— some of them making use of an internal variety. The procession was closed with another long list of carriages and decorated ve- hicles of all sorts. When the procession reached Alice street the grand marshal and his assist- ants took up their positions at the grand stand and reviewed the column. Then, as the various organizations passed by they disbanded and the greatest parade in the history of Oakland was at an end. There was only one feature that marred the day. It was understood that no ad- vertisements should be in the line, for such was the request of the committee. One firm of bicyclists on Broadway. however, violated the tacit understanding by placing an exhibitin the parade, which, to say the least, was not even a decent exhibit. 08 THE CAMMACHE The Naval Battalion Inspected by the Legislative Com- mittee, to The National Guard of this section of the State had its day yesterday, being in- spected by tue adjutant-general, A. W. Barrett, and members of the Military Committee of the Senate and House. It was expected that Governor Budd, com- mander-in-chief of the Guard, would have been present with his staff, but he was not present, and the excusefor his absence was that public business prevented him from coming to this City. The day commenced with a visit to the Navai Battalion on board of the monitor Camanche, at anchor in the bay off Fol- som-street Wharl. It had besn arranged that there was to be an inspection of the v-ssel and men and then a boatrace be- tween crews of the First and Second divi- sions of che battalion, but the order was reversed, the race came off first and then followed the inspection. The party that wenton the Camanche was conveyed there on the tug Governor H. H. Markbam, made attractive by a Iiberal display of bunting. The vessel was placed at the disposal of the party, — e . > apom Finish of the Great Annual Race Between the Crews Selected From Divis Contest Was Stubbornly Fought, but Division 2 Lost Five Lengths on the Turn and Cou'd Not Make It Up. ions 1 and 2 of the Naval Battalion, The There were in the party Adjutant-Gen- eral A, W. Barrett, Assistant Adjutant- General R. L. Peeler, Senator Pedlar, chairman of the Senate Military Commit- tee, Senator Androus, Assembly manCross, chairman of the House Military Commit- tee, Assemblymen Jone-, Godtrey, Maho- | ney, Powers, McLaren and Treacy of the | House Committee, Lieutenant-Colonel Burgin and Lieatenant Sanborn of the Governor’s staff. Lieutenant-Colonel “C. H. Crocker, Captain D. A. Smith, adju- tant of the Fifth Infantry, Second Brigade. | They were received on the tug by Lieu- tenant Dennis of the ¥irst Division, who, in the absence of Lieutenaut-Commander Turner, commanded the battalion, and Lieutenant Elliott, adjutant of the bat- talion. The tug first- followed the racers and the party on board witnessed some good work by the men of the naval re- serve. When the tug was moored alongside of the iron ship the visitors were received by Lievtenant Gunn of the Second Division, acting executive officer of the batialion. The men of the reserve, who were mus- tered on deck, in their neat uniforms pre- sented a picturesque appearance and drew from the visitors many expressions of satistaction. The customary ceremonies observed on an occasion of this kind being over, the visitors were invited below, where they were shown over the berth deck and in the ward room, where refreshments were | served and they were briefly addressed by | Lieutenant Dennis. He explained what the naval reserve has done in the past, what it is doing and what it needs. The party was then shown over the ship, s number of the inquisitive legisia- tors crawling tbrough one of the port- holes into the turret to see the guns in- side. They asked a great many questions and they learned a ereat deal. Tney ad- mitted they saw much to admire in that branch of the service, and they were of the opinion that the water militia ought to bave the State assistance it asks for. The inspection over the party returned to the tug and was saiuted by the boom of une Hotchkiss guns. Then vy direction of | Colonel Chadbourne the party was taken aiong the City front and out toward the heads until atreast of the Mabel Gray, the schooner that was dismantled by lignt- ning. The tug rounded that vessel and returned to her berth. When passing the Corwin, which was | dressed in gala attire, that vessel fired a National s:lute of twenty-one guns. Some | of the guileless individuais on the tug were of the opinion that the salute was in their honor, until they were remindea that the day was a holiday and that the salate was the one usually fired at noon in honor of the occasion. THE BONT-RACING Division I of the Naval Battalion Captures a F.ag for Fast Rowing. ‘A better, fairer or more hotly contested race was never seen 1in Califcrnia,”” was | the comment of Henry Peterson after the oirst division of the Naval Battalion had won the champion flag yesterday. *They rowed stroke for stroke up to the stake- boat, but on the turn the first division gained a decided advantage and finally won by about five lengths.” After the race the men in Division 2's boat became the guests of the winners in the boathouse, and a merry half-nour was spent. Last year the crew of the Second Divi- sion won the race, and on this occasion the First Division determined to win back the flag presented by Irving M. Scott for annual competition. It has to be won three timesin succession and then be- comes the property of the division that proves victorious. Yesterday R. Shuailer, W. Giesler, F. J. Murphy, P. Murray, J. Meyers and Georee Green, with J. T. Healey as cockswain, upheld the honors of the First Division, while T. P. Shroeder | and Messrs. Undgen, Olsen, Hansen, Johnson and Halleday, with T. Rowe as cockswain, fought out the battle on behalf of the Second Division. Henry Peterson was the referee, Lieutenant Calden was judge for the First Division, Lieutenant A. H. Eiliot for the Second Division and 8. J. Pembroke was timekeeper. The course was from the Camanche to a budy anchored off Mission Rock and re- turn, a distance of about three miles. Considering that the men covered the dis- tance in 20 minutes and 26 seconds, there is some truth in the remark made by Henry Peterson, ‘‘The best time eve: made by green amateurs, in & ship's boat, in the world."” The start was & perfect one. Neither gained a foot during the first mile and a half, and when the stakeboats were reached it was anybody’s race. It was then that Rowe carried his boat wide, and Healey, who is an excellent cockswain, made bis men slow down, and making a short turn gained at least six lengths on Duvision 2. With all that distance to make up, the boys never lost heart, and set out on a stern chase. They made up two boats-lengths, but the strain told on them, and duriug the last quarter of a mile they fell back & length. The boys of Division 1 earned their vic- tory. They were all out at the finish, and not one of them could have rowed an- otber hall-mile. Murphy was bleeding at the nose, and his rowing shirt and arms were covered with his blood; but just the same he stuck to his work and stayed by bis oar until the boat was alongside the monitor. When passing the Oregon and the bark Les Adelphes the men were heartily cheered, aud when opposite the schooner on which Schnaller of the bat- talion had a party of friends the winners received an ovanon. It wasa perfect day for the races, and it was rowed at slack water and with little or no wind. “Little Jack,” whose clever maneuver- ing really won the race for Division 1, was afierward carried down below to the berthdeck by his delighted crew. Then followed several races from the battie-ship. The course was from the Oregon, around the Camanche and back. The big cutter 13 was beaten by barge 32. It was nip and tuck with them until they got into the backwash from the stern- wheeler A. C. Freese. Then the cutter lost headway and 32 finally won by four lengths. In the next race No. 32 was pitted against cutter 41, and this time 32 turned the tables and won cleverly by two lengths. The third and last race of the day was between dingeys 14 and 24, the former winning by three lengths. Harrison, Folsom and Howard street wharves were crowded with spectators, all of whom enjoyed the spectacle. The British and American ships were covered with bunting, and it was one of the gay- est spectacles seen on the bay in many a day. In point of decorations the Ocei- dental and Orientsl Company’s Doric | easily took the palm, and next came the battle-ship Oregon. The American fleet in port showed more flags and made a better appearance than they have in years. INSPECTING THE FIRST. A Review and a Parade on Van Ness Ave- nue. In the afterncon the party that visited the Naval Reserve proceeded 10 Van Ness avenue to inspect the First Regiment of Infaniry, Second Bricade, Troop A, the Signal Corps and the Cadet Company. The first carriage contained Adjutant- General Barrett and Senators Pediar and An ‘rous. In the second were Colonel Peeler, assistant adjutant-general, and A-semblymen Cross and Powers; in the third, Assemblymen Jones, Mahoney and McLaren; and in the fourth, Assembly- men Treacy and Godfrey, Captain D. A. Smith and D. G. Troy. The party moved along the avenue to | Sacramento street and took up a position on the west side of the avenue near Cali- fornia, where also stood Brigadier-General ‘Wartield and staff. The rezimental line was formed on the avenue, and, preceded by Colunel Duboce and staff, marched up the esst side of the svenue in column of fours. The infantry marched well, kept distances well and in service uniform presented a very credit- able appearance, appearing to much bet- ter advantage as real soldiers than when out in fuli-dress uniform. The cavalry and the signal corps also made a good ap- pearance, while the cadet company and the ambulance corps looked well. There were about 500 men in line. In counter- marching the companies passed by the reviewing officers and committee in com- vany front. After the inspection the guardsmen es- corted the inspecting party to the Palace Hotel and then were dismissed. The chairman of the Senate committee said: “Iam very much pleased with the appearance of our guardsmen, afloat and ashore.”’ Captain Cross of the House committee, an old soldier who has seen service in the field, sai “The wmen presented a fine appearance and marched well, but they need new hats, and they ought to have new fatigue uniforms, as those they have are rather shabby. The Military Com- mittee of each house seems tb be inclined to do what is right for the guard, but what will be aone [ cannot say, for there is a desire to retrench on all sides.” THE Y. M, | CELEBRATION, San Francisco Councils Com- memorate the Natal Day. Washington’s birthday was commem- orated at the Metropolitan Temple by an annual reunion of S8an Francisco councils of the Young Men’s Institute. The pro- ceedings were patriotic and were highly enjoyed by a large sudience occupying ail the seating capacity of the house. The ball was profusely and handsomely decorated. The front of the great organ was draped w.th many American flags, and on the ornamented pipes was a pic- ture of George Washington surrounded by looped-up flags. Along the front of the stage were potted palms, and festoons of bunting were held up between them by golden stars. Pendants were draped from the center of the ceiling of the auditorium to the sides of the hall. The galleries were also gay with bunting and shields. In front of the stage sat an orchestra which played about all the national melodies that could well be suggested. Edward H. Thomas presided, with the following vice-presidents, who were seated on the stage: James P. Dockery, John J. Duddy, P.A. Buckley, James R. Kelly, P. C. Krets, M. 0’Shaugnessy, C. McAuvliff, P. E. McCarthy, J. J. Sheehan, J. E. Curran, J. J. Regsn, William D. Hicks. William F. Humphrey, Charles F. Healey, D. C. Dinan, R. E. Fazackerley, James E. Britt, Edward R. Myrick. Antons Pllco- vieh, J.

C. 0'Connor, George W. Pattison, J. H. Sulii- van, V. Aguilers, Dr. J. R. McCarthy, N. J. Hoey. The proceedings were opened with an overture. Then Edward B. Thomas, who presided, rose to make the introdauctory speaking in substance as fol- Rev. Fathers, Ladies and Gentlemen and Members of the Young Men's Institute, we meet here to-day to join with our fellow-eiti- zens in celebrating the day which has become one of National observarce, an1 which will Le celeb-ated for all time by the American people Natfonal holiday. This will Le done in | memory of one who was first in war and first | 11 peace, and who has left a name never to b> forgott n, ior he stood for the freedom of country and of religion. We hope that the Young Mea's Institute will always show it love for the wi:dom and patriotism of George Washington. Mr. Thomas introduced Colonel James F. Smith, who spoke concerning the cele- bration of Washington’s birthdey by the instiiute. Colonel Smith said: It was fitting that the Young Men’s Institute should take some part in restoring to its place in the patriotic calendar the name ot George Washington. The Young Men’s Insu- | tute was patriotic. Its principles were love of God and love of country. So it was fitting that the Young Men's Insti- tute should have part in ths restoration to the calendar of the name of Georze Washington. Itis s'range to say that it has ever become necessary to use the word restoration in con- nection with the great name of Washington. But it was nevertheless true. In the time of prosperity the memories of heroes have been forgotten. But shall it be so that the memo- ties of heroes shall be buried in the season of our pride? No, no; & thousand times no! 1t should be remembered that in the past twenty-five years the influence of practical politics has had its effect on our history. What has been considered practical hus usurped the place of what was patziotic. It had been sald that the American people were vonservative and moved slowly. This was not true. The calling to mind by the institute some years g0 that Washington’s birthdey was becoming a mere ordinary holiday was sufficient ic awaken an outburst ef patriotic feelin the Young Men’s Institute Lad a conspi part.in calling up afresh the memory of the glorious services of George Washington. This was a Christian nauon. Its Declaration of Independence deciared a beliei in God. This was reasserted in courts, even on the face of the money which passed from hand to hand. This was a Christian nation in that it recog- nized God and Jesus Christ. Here men could stand together in love with a common God and in love of a common country. Miss May Cook sang a set number, and as an encore sang “The Star-spangled Banner.”” The orchestra plaved; then the oration was delivered by John J. Barrett. He said: The day is rich in the cluster of its memories, in memories of Mount Ver- non and its matchless dead. Washing- ton’s birthday would always have the first place among the festal days of the Young Men's Iustitute. The key to Washington: life was his love for God and his cnlz.: try. His deeds, his genius, his heroism did not alone give an index f his career. Itwas the love of Washington for God and his native land that lifted his life above thatof other ‘warriors, This country had been rich instatesmanship. This country has bowed to the great of other lands. Sorich was this country in this respect that it envied no other. This day was there- fore commemoratea with this ia view, that the world shared in our glory in the contempla- tion of the great and good of every age and every land. In his greatness Washington em- bodied the great qualities of all heroes, and that made him the most majestic figure in all secular history—the matchless one of the ages. The chiefest force in human actions was mo- tive, and that was the supreme test of humau worth. The controlling motive of Wasking- ton’slife wes hislove of country and his abid- ing faith in & Supreme Being. He set this id before him in his youth, and to this he ad- hered. This it was that vitalized his life and made Mim immortal. No one loved liberty more than he. No one better obeyed a just law. With him, also, was resistance to tyranny obedience to God. trious in American history—Lincoln, Serra, Marquette and others—winding up with some eloquent remarks, which caused the andience tv pay him the compiiment of applsuding until he twice bowed acknowledgment. « The remainder of the programme was asfollows: Tenorsolo, William J. O'Brien; recitation, Miss Lottie Dwyer; bass solo, John A. MeAuliffe; trombone solo, F. K. Tobin; singing of “The Red, White and Biue” by the audience; finale by the or- chestra. All the solo numbers went so well that encores were demanded. The annual reunion of the S8an Fran- cisco councils of the Young Men’s Insti- tute at the Mechanics’ Pavilion last nignt was a rocial event of almost unexampled magnitude, viewed with regard to the large attendance and fraternal feeling among the participants. From 8 o’clock until a late hour thou- sands shook hands, renewed acquaintance, danced and enjoyed the occasion without reservation. A great many visiting delegates and past presidents of the order thronged the great pavilion. Major William Fahey, himself a past president, had charge of a large visiting delegation. The various coramittees of the order were busy throughout the evening entertaining their guests, the following being in churge: Committee of arrangements—E, B. Thomas (chairman), EdwardJ.

It was an artistic as well as a patriotic programme that the Puerta del Oro Chap- ter, Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, had arranged for the celebration of the immortal Washington's birthday. The Daughters, beaming, proud and happy, crowded Beethoven Hall, and the Sons fringed the walls and stood up in the corridors, givine to the whole scene an appearance of strength and security. On the platform, from which the speak- ers delivered their patriotic orations and the vocalists, in clear, strong notes, sang patriotic hymns, the folds of Old Gilory made a picturesque and inspiring backe ground. Mrs. Gibbons, regent of the chapter, in a few well-chosen words, bid the assem- bled audience welcome to the first publie meeting of the chapter. She alluded to the slow, steady growth of the society, which organized on the 4th of last April with but twelve members, and now boast- ed a membership of sixty.
