Gold of Ophir was represented in a page from Rider Haggard's “She,” the moment when Hoily and Leo discovered the witch’s head. The float itself was the lopian head, with thick lips, terrifying ves and heavy cheeks. Poetic license is ken with the story for spectacular effect, She appeared on the rock, in snowy sandaled feet, hair of raven blac and a face of unearthly beauty. Peering over the rock she gazed at the two men below in the boat. In the foreground were the hot pots, molten and full of re ires that lighted up the scene.

Before the princess stood the fairy prince. “Ho stooped to kiss her—on his knees,” and the charm was broken. All around the base of the float poppies were blooming in riotous magnificence. The night efect of this float was very beautiful. Following was the cast of char- aciers: Princess, Miss Carrie Zurcher; Captain Prince, T. E. Piror; sentinels, Hector Boutuer, Georze J.

Near them a sunken chest scatterea gold and jewels upon the boitom of tne | sea, while coral, sea fan, kelp and other | sea p! ts were in full motion. The whole float was supposed to be un- der water, and the night effects added greatly to its beauty. The characters: Neptune, B. W. Steinhart; Mermaids, Edmund Duncommun, W. H. M e.

Pitti-Sing and | Bo-Peep were near her. A Japanese villa was in the distance and the garden was | full of vases of riotous foliage. The whole base of the float was of blaz- ing chrysanthemums. The two effects of | day and night were in the scene. The | characters were taken as foilows: Yum Yum, Miss Young; Nanki Poo, Mr. Han- | chette; attendants, Mrs. Duncan, Miss King, Miss Brambilla. And_ last of all came Santa Claus, rep- resenting the Christmas holly. He was preparing his sledge and reinaeer for his Christmas mission. An immense iceberg was at one end of the float, which was spanned by the au- rora boreals, resplendent in rose, gold and silver and rainbow-hued lights. The reflection of the aurorain the water and the icchergs gave play for nizht effects and color. The base of the float was in holiy leaves. Churles Howe personated Santa Claus. To-morrow will witness two great dis- plays—the floral parade in the afternoon and the water carnival and fireworks at Westlake Park. bR s SPORTN AT THE PARK. Burlesque Exhibitions, Athletic C¥ntests and Bicycle Races Before Koyally. LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 22 —The | center of attraction shifted to Athletic Park this afternoon, where a highly di- versified programme of sports engaged the aitention of many thousands of spec- tators. Royalty eraced the occasion by its pres- ence. Her Majesty Queen Francesca came accompanied, as hitherlo, by her retinue of court ladies, prime minister and other functionaries, entering the inclosure soon | after 2 o’clock. Calmly indifferent to his- torical solecisms, her Majesty and her court had divested themselvesof the pic- turesque garb of the eighieenth century | and substituted that of the present day as one perhaps better adapted to the warmth | of a Los Angeles spring. Variety, how- | ever, is invariably acceptabie, and the natural charmsof the Queen and her la- escan well dispense with the artificial assisiance of powder and patches. Prior to ascending the handsome and richly canopied dais reserved for her con- venience the Queen and the entire coriege passed in stately procession twice around the inciosure, her Majesty gracefully bow- ing her scknowledgments and waving a handkerchief in response to the prolonzed ripple of applause with which she was everywhere greeted by her devoted sub- jeets. Then, while the band played an appropriate messure and escorted by Prime Minister Thomas, she proceeded from her carriage to the dais, a white carpet having been previously spread be- tween the two. The remaining carriages, with their freight of female loveliness, | mile Queen Le image of the sun king. | followed one by one, and, everything being in readiness, ber Majesty, through ver Prime Minister, deciared it her pleasure that the sports should proceed forthwith. . 1f a fault could be found with the subse- quent programme it was that a mnltiplic- ity of entertaining features proved almost bewildering. Thus, while the cyciists and sprinters competed in deadly earnest for tangible trophies and the royal favor the members of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, fantasticaliy arrayed, were frivo- Jously engaged in acrobatic and humorous business in the center of the field to the intense delight of the onlookers. The two clowns, Ben Bogner and Fay Stephenson, were hiuge successes, and the exciting debut of the club’s famous band of Zulus, imported direct from Africa for the occasion, created quite a sensation. These dusky warriors were completely armed with assegais, shields and six-shoot ers, and in tne exuberance o! their hol day spirits proceeded to kill each other as rapidly as possible early in the day. They were afterward resurrected, however, and again startled the spectators by a well- executed series of pyramid and tumbling specialties. The club German band incidentally har- rowed the souls of its hearers in_ the course of a burlesque parade around the field. The midget policemen followed closely in its wake aud were generously applauded. Among Lhe many other en- tertaining specialiies contributea by the members of tue club were wrestiing and boxing bouts by Messis. L. Taschet and Frank Sentous, N.T. Forsyth and 8. J. Brown, M. Graham and Harry Porter, M. MichelSon and F. N. Lord, Harry Maeder and Alfred Maeder. The two most important events of the day were the amateur and professional championship bicycle races, which were won respectively by Kalpn Hamlin and Charles W. Stimson, W. S. Furman and-A. T. Bell being second in each case. Provably the proudest moment of their lives was that in which they were | called upon to approach the royal dais | and receive the reward of their prowess irom tbe hands of the Prime Minister, the Queen smiling ber approbation. Hamlin and Furman had to compete against fifteen rivals and were closely pressea in their respective heats by D. B. Cromwell The third bea:, which contained neither of the final winners, fell to H. B. Cromwell and M. A. Casenave. The time for the tinal was 5, which was better than the 2:263-5 of the first heat and the of Lhe third, and not so good as the 2:17 of the second. The mile professional brought out four starters only, in marked contrast to the congested amateur field.

The school children, as a feature of patriotic demonstration and parade, surpassed everything that has ever been seen at former encamp- ments, State or Naiional. Nothing happ-ned to mar the pleasure of the grand parade and review. The weather was perfect. Promptly at the bour appointed, 11 o’clock this morning, the column, escorted by Captain Burke’s Troop C, National Guards, moved. At | every block along the beautifully decora- ted stroets a new and delightful surprise was unfolded tothe sight of the march- |ing veterans. Seven hundred school | children, marshaled in five battaiions, | were lined up on Capital street. The chii- | dren saluted the velerans, sang songs of | greeting in chorus, waved flags and | aroused an enthusiasm in the Grand | Army column that spread to the vast | throng of spectators, causing cheers to re- | echo along the entire line. | This feature of itself was admirable | easy winner in 6 1-5, with A. T. Bell second and A. D. Tompkins third. Both races were admirably contested, and nap- though in the third hea: of the amateur contest A.J.

LOS ANG CAL., April 22.—Michael Lorden, a well-known merchant of Cala- basas, a mountain settlement north of Pasadena, was brutally murdered at his As near as can be learned of the crime, | Lorden was in his store, near the cash- drawer, about 8:30 o’clock. Without warning of any kind, a weapon, pre- sumably a rifle, was discharged from out- | side the door, and Lorden feil to the floor, | shot in the stomach. He manazed to get | up and make his way to a neighbor, about a quarier of u mule distant, and teil of the occurrence. Lorden then started back, and when close to his store fell ex- bausted, where the neigiibor discovered him. The neighbor assisted Lorden to | the store, where he soon died, The officers are puzzied for a motive for the crime. It wus not apparently for the | purpose of robbery, as nearly $40 was | found in the money-drawer, and the piace | bad not been disturbed. Owing to the | remote situation of Caiabasasand distance from telegraphic or telephone communi. | cation, but few details of the affair can be learned.

The | boys of Lincoln School bore a banner con- taining a likeness of Lincoln, which was cheered again and again. The girls of the Grammar School, with white and blue sashes and mortar-board hats of red, ; white and biue topped with stars, made a | | most creditable -display. The crowning feature of the whole scene was that ex- | hibited by the “‘tots” of Washington Pri- | mary School. They maintained their even | places in line by holding in their hand | streamers running the entire length of | the battalion. In front of the reviewing | stand, where the badges glittered, the | little ones were halted to sing **America,” | then they knelt down in the roadway of | the straet and in chorus invoked the favor | of heaven o preserve the country and the flag. The veterans of the war and the lady veterans of thirly peaceful encampmens were deep y moved. The emotion pro- duced in the ranks of the Woman’s Relief | Corps and in tbe circles of the Ladies of | the Grand Army has not yet subsided. | All assert that it was the most impres- { sive and beautiful spectacle that they ever saw. The excellence of the marching, the grading of the children -according 1o size, and the precision with which the young lady teachers handled their respec- tive commands was acommon topic of comment. Comrades from San Francisco exciaimed: “Look atthat object lesson and fancy San Francisco giving features 10 a procession. This is out.of sight. In all our encampments nothing has equaled this feature. Salinas has carried off the honors.” The Sons of Veterans, while not numer- | ically strong,enlisted considerable cheer- | ing.” Frequent cheers were given for the | Veteran Guard and loud huzzas for Troop To view the parade people came from Monterey, Pacific Grove, Castroviile, Wat- miles distant.

The Department Encampment held a session to-day, lasting from 2 o’ciock until 5. An effort to proceed to the election of department commander was made with some vigor, but it failed. It was decided to make that matter the special oraer for to-morrow at9 a. M. The leadin: candi- dates are General N. P. Chipman of Red Bluff, Frank Miiler of Sacramento and F. D. Cusbing of Alameda. To-night it ssems almost a certainty that General | Chipman will carry off the honors. | For some time he was in doubt as to whether he could find time to attend io the duties of the position, but he has now made up his mind to take che time. His address at the opara-house last night pro- duced a good impression. Navada Ciy as selected as the place for holding the encampment in 1898. San Diego dolei&tes gave notice that they would ciaim the encampment in Judge Walling read offic.al invitations f-om the Trustees of Nevada City, the Board of Trade and also the Board of Supervisors of Nevada | County. A miners’ welcome was pledged to the department. The motion to ac- cept the inviiation was carried unani- mously. Delegations were received from the Woman's Relief Corps, Ludies of the Grand Army and Sons of Veterans. Eva J. French, Eleanor P, Anderson and Fannie F. Stoddard spoke the greet- ings from the circles. Messrs. Pierce, Handley and Howard voiced the sentiments of the Sons of Veterans. Mr. Pierce made an effective speech. Mr, Handley promised that the Sons of Veterans in San Francisco would go to Nevada City next year with adrill corps that wou!d outdrill the Veteran Guard. The announcement caused a roar of laughter at the exvense of the guard. Pieice is on the slate for division com- mander of the Sons of Veterans, hence a great boom in the order is anticipated, Mrs. Elizabeth D, Kinne and Mrs. Mer- ritt presented the greetings from the Woman’s Relfef Corps. Mrs. Kinne read a statement showing that the corps dur- ing the year had assisted 1832 persons and expended in relief $5368. There still re- maivs in the treasury $4495. The finan- cial statement is signed by Laura Robin- son, president, and Lizzie Hatch, secre- | tary. Vacancies on the board of directors of the Veterans’ Home were filled. Tue suc- cessful candicates are: Jobn A. Giimore of San Francisco, C. H. Reddington of Oakla A. McManon of San Jose, Mag- nus Tait of Los Gatos and E. R. Miller of Alameda. The point was raised, and dis- cussed at length, that the law required another director to reside in San Fran- c1sco, and therefore F. Hansen may take the place of E. R. Miller. e — FOR GOLDE: GiTE PARK. Plan to Erect a Lincoln Statue There Mects With Favor. SALINAS, Caw., April 22.—The plan to establish Lincoln day in the public schools and to erect in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, a monument to the memory of the great liberator, was fuily presented to the encampment this afternoon by C. Ma- son Kinne, treasurer of the Monument League. A committee was appointed to take charge of the certificate-books and issue to comrades certificates of member- ship in the league. The proposition met with iustant favor, and many comrades joined the league to-night. A commiitee consisting of Chartes Ed- | elman, P. Chipman, Frank Miller, F. | L. Clarkeand F. D. Cushing was appointed to submit resolutions of respect to the memorv of Comrade Charles M. Goulding of the Veterans’ Home Post, a representa- tive to the encampment who died sud- denly in this city yesterday ,morning. The casket bearing the remains of their comrade was escorted this mornin« to the depot by the Veteran Guard. The en- campment voted to defray the expenses of the funeral from the depirtment funds. Many resolutions on his death were intro- duced and referred without discussion to the proper committee. President McKinley will te asked to re- store to the pension-rolls pensioners who have been unjustiy deprived of a pension. The National Tribune’splan of a fixed pension of $8 a month for every Union soldier and 1 cent a day per month for esch day of service has many supporters in the department. The flag in the school procession to-day was carried by the tall boy who was re- cently described and pictured in THE CALL. Major J. Waliace, district inspecior, First Brigade, National Guard, officiaily inspected Troop C this afternoon. It is settled that John G. Joy of Steed- man Post, Salinas, will be elected junior vice department commander. Cbarles Edelman of San Francisco will probably be elected one of the delegates to the Naticnal Encampment. He has been photographed since his arrival here as the one D2mocrat of the age who re- signed an office. The Governor appointed him as Commissioner of the Hamburg Ex- position, and he resignea. 1 | Objec WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—Rep- resentative Holman of Indiana died at 2 o'clock this afterncon.
