On Monday, July 5, the Ancient Order of Hibernians will hold their celebration in horor of Independence day at Schuet- zan Park, San Rafael. Elaborate prepara- tions have been made for the eventand it is expected that it will be one of the tinest affairs ever given under the auspices of the order. The order is a powerful body in this City. Itcomprises some six- teen divisions and in addition a large number of ladies are auxiliary members. These are enroiled in Martha Washington Circle of this City, of which Mrs. Deasy is circle president. The county presiaentof the ladies is Mrs. E. Butters. There is also a native sons’ division, composed of young Californians, which was lately or- ganized through the efforts of State Secre- tary Edward I Sheehan. It is expected organize military companies. Division No. 10 has been uiscussing the matter for some time and it is strengly favored by the members. This will add an entirely new feature to the order here, but in other States the military element is a strong part of the order. On Monday morning next there will be a grand procession. This wiil be led by the Knients of the Red Branch Rifles with their fine band. Then will follow the different divisions according to their di- vision number. Each division will have somethinyg novel to present in the parade and all are working with great secrecy so that they may astonish, not alone the spectators, but the members of sisier di- visions. No. 2 will carry its handsome banner that has not been seen on parade since the long ago days of St. Patrick’s day processions. No. 3 will also come out in full regalia, and with flag and banners thrown to the wind. No. 10, which is composed of spry and talented young men and always has something new to present, intends to make a very fine ap- pearance. The Mission divisions, 16, 17, 19 and 20, are each trying to outduv all others, and they will no doubt look well in line. No. 9 from the Potrero and No- 15 from North Beach will also have spe. cial features to attract attention. It is expected that each boat going over will be crowded. Those in the procession will be in time for the 9 o’clock boat. After it arrives dancing will be started, but the exercises and games will begin in the afternoon. The games wiil be very exciting, for there will te many entered for each event by reason of the value of the prizes. The games wiil be made a great feature this year and every year hereafter, the order recognizing that very many people are attracted by athietic sports and that they value such a spectacle more than anything else on such an oc- casion. The tug-of-war contest at 1 o’clock will be first on the games pro- gramme. This will be foliowed by a foot- ball contest and then a long list of other events. The literary and musical ex- ercises will begin at 2:30 o’clock. After the overture by the orchestra will follow the opening address by P. J. McCormick. county vresident; oration, Rev. Father Caraher; “Star-spangled Banner,’’ Miss K. Black; reading declaration of inde- ndence, Thomas W. Hickev; “Red, Whln and Blue,” A. O. H. chorus. o g e J. 0. U. A. M, The Organization WI'l C: Its Own Way. Tke ereat patriotic organization, the Junior Order United American Mechanics, will not play quite as prominer't a part in the day’s celebration as heretofore. On Monday evening the local councils, together with the Daughters of Liberty, will give an entertainment and dancs in 0dd Fellows' Hall for the benefit of the brate In members and friends, at which some of the National officers, who are here at- tending the Christian Endeavor Conven- tion, will be present and deliver short addre: The order will not take any part in the parade here, although the California Com- mandery, U. A. M., will go over to Oak land and jein in the parade there. The programme for the evening is as follows: Selection, Johnson’s .orcbestra; introductory remarks, State Councilor H. C.

Floyd. i S CROWDS AT EUREKA. High Wires and High Times in Hum- boldt’'s Metropolis. EUREKA, Can, July 3.—Despite the fact that celebrations were being held all over the county the opening day of Eure- ka’s patriotic demonstration was excep- tionally well attended. Excursion trains kept unloading people all moruing, and by noon the town was crowded with visitors. Little was at- tempted during the afternoon in the way of amusement. A band concert and a high-wire per-! Tormance congregated the ruralties about the business blocks, where they were able to shop to their hearts’ content. Asthe stores will be closed the greater part of the remaining days of the celebra- tion the mercuants were given an apnor- tunity to make up through the gaias of trade the generous donations which thev made to toe carnival fund. Above all eise the Venetian water car- nival was the thing that weaned the affec- tions cf tbe country people away from their own modest celebrutions and set them flocking to the metropolis, where the novel spectacle of the grand illumi- nated parade was to be presented. Fire- works that had to be shot out of a cannon, illuminated boats and launches and steamers could not be withstood. So they came attired in their best, and accom- panied by their wives and sweethearts, to pav a few days’ visit to their City friends. Early in the evening the peopie began 10 flock to the water front. As soon as it was dark enough to make the illumina- tions effective the procession of irradiated barges, steamers, floats and craft of all de- scriptions began to move majestically down the bay. It was a gorgeous spectacle. The lan- terns which adorned the craft were ar- ranged in fantastic figures, which added to the romantic effect of the phantasma- goria. The first division of the parade was led by the Naval Battalion. Then came the Venetian barge, carrying Queen Carrie, her maidsand retinue, consisting of her- alds, bodyguards and oarsmen. The barge of State, with California, the Seal of State, and Georze and Martha Washington, fol- lowed. gave a finished aspect to the general tab- leau. The float on which the singers were sta- tioned completed the main division. Business floats, yachts, launches and row- boats, all elaboraiely decorated and aporned with lan:erns, completed the pro- cession. The pyrotechnical display was an attractive feature of the carnival. The air was kept ablaze with fire-trailing rock- ets, shooting candies and red fires. ‘Lhe band wasstationed on a float, about 200 yards from the wharf, and the charm of its music was greatly heightened from the expanse of water over which it floated. After passing in review the resplendent procession rounded the buoy a mile down the bay and countermarched. o Skt TABLEAUX AT 1.O5 ANGELES. Fitzgerald and Bryan Will Divide the Lay’s Oratery. LOS ANGELES, CaL., July 3.—In many respects the celebration of the Fourth of July in this city will be especially notable, not alone for the size and novelty of the patriotic programme, but for the injection of a large amount of politics into the day’s ceremonials, though under separate auspices. The day’s events will begin Monday morning with a parade promised to be notonly large but novel in its fea- tures. 1t will move at 10 o’clock sharp under the leadership of United States Marshal Covarrubias. In addition to the usual display of military and secret organ- izations there will be the present Fire De- partmentin fulland a representation of the department as it was fifty yeais ago with tableaux of old pueblo days. The parade is expected to disband at Simpson Tabernacle, where a literary pro- gramme will bs given. It will be opened by ex-Governor John L. Beveridge, and after the usual patrivtic preliminaries Attorney-General W. F. Fitzgerald, orator of the day, will make an address. This is all expected to be concluded by 2 p M., when W. J. Brvan will begin his speech at La Fiesta Park, which, fortunately, is not tar distant from the scene of the patri- otic exercises. The evening will see {wo events—an- other patriotic ‘literary. feast, with Judge Allen as orator at the tabernacle, and the banquet to Bryan at Ha: s Pavilion. In addition to all these there wiil be sporting events and numerous picnics to make the day a8 memorable one. LI 8AN DIEGO AND FVICINITYX, Plenty of Patriotic Diversion 1s Offered Thereabouts, 8AN DIEGO, Car, July 3.—No regular programme has been arranged for the celebration of the glorious Fourth in San Diego this year. The citizens will enjoy themselves and indulge in x’auiotio apeech, thought and reflection. avcording toc.r- cumstances and the dictates of their own Tue costumes were beautiful and | pleasure.
