After | Golden Gate and Mission parlors came \\IZI,‘a.m Cruig, better known as *Old Pike,” an old-time miner, who rode one mule and led anotber, showing how pros- pectors traveled in the daysof old. He was an excellent image of the class of miner of early days. The members of Alta Parlor, Native Daughters, made a fine appearance, being escorted by Golden Gate Parlor. Oro Fino Parlor of the Native Daughters and ific Parlor came next, the latter at- tired in white suits and gold caps and yellow sash, and having the most expen- badge, a white silk oue, having atfixed toita clusier of ;:G!den poppies Sacra- mento Parlor made a 200 showing, Wood- land and Dixon parlors following next in order.

It was an immense star on wheels. The star was covered with poppies and silver filigree, and the display was drawn by fourteen ladies attired in costumes of red, of white and of blue. The effect was exceedingly pretty and was applauded along the line of march. Stanford and Oakland parlers and National Parlor in a uniform of black with gold sash preceded Columbia, Alcalde and | South San Francisco pariors, the two Piedmont parlors, Sons and Daughters of Oakland, Alameda ani Brooklyn parlors, | Hesperian Parlor of the sons as the escort | of Las Lomas Parlor of the Daughters. | Then came Alcatraz, Halcyon, Precita, | Olympus, Valiejo, Solano, San Jose and Presidio parlors, iollowed by an ox team introduced by Altamont Parlor of Occiden- | tal, Sonoma County. There were four | yoke of oxen drawing a covered wagen on .\vhxch were mottoes. One was: “We'll | come to see you when we settle; we are | glad to be with you.” Yerba Buena Parlor was in line, as was Sequoia Parlor, L. C. Pistolesi presi- dent. This parlor, preceded by the Na- tive Sons’ band, added as an escort to the Exempt Firemen under command of Vice-President Jessup. The members of the old Fire Department were cheered all along the line. | Each parlor displayed a beautiful ban- | ner and a8 number of the parlors had their | emblems mounted on bicycle wheels. | There were not many novelties in the line | of march, but it is enou:h to say that the procession was a very creditavle one. There were about 3000 persons in lire, and | all who viewed the display were highly pleased with it. After Grand Marshal Dunbar had re- viewed the several divisions the grand | officers of the order took seats on the porch of the Courthouse and fiom that point the addresies were delivered. The | grand marshal iniroduced Grand Presi- dent Ciark, who, after alluding to the ad- mission of California on September 9, 1850, stated that that event was celebrated after the receipt of the news. twenty-three days after the admission. That was the only celebration of the event until twenty- one years ago, when the Native Sons ob- served Admission day. Taey had done 80 every vear since, and proposed to con- | tinue doing so as long as the State en- | dured, because the Native Sons were | proud of their State. There was a sclection by the Santa Rosa band, after which Mayor Jesse was intro- | duced and delivered a short address of welcome. He congratulated the Native Daughters upon their courage in march- ing 1n the line and the Native Sons for the | interest they took in the celebration. | He declared that by their ambi- | | tion the Native Daughiers snowed that they were going to rule, and the onward | march of woman warranted the assertion | the wuole human tamily would fall down | before her. Then, as Mayor, he bade all Native Sons and_Dauzhters a hearty wel- come to Ssuta Rosa asa city and to the homes therein. Judge Rust, the grand orator, delivered an oration which, though brief, was an effort that won for him the congratula- | tions of many who listened to him. In the course of his oration he said that it was a grand sight to see the rising young generation of California marching in com- memoration of the deeds of the pioneers. | He asked if any who witnessed the grand procession refizctea what were the feelings of those pioneers who, in 1846, raised the bear flag in Sonoma, and what were their ideas in mind or ambition in heart. He said t. at they were those who sought freedom from the ruie of the Spanish- | <peaking people, and made it possible for California to be admitted as oue of the Siates of the Union. He said that the State was golden in the early times, and that it was go!den at this time from the extreme north to the extreme south, and he drew a beautiful word-picture of what | had been done in the past and what was being done nuw to deveiop the golden in- dustries of the State; what energy and industry was doing to make waste places blossom as the rose and vring forth goluen | harvests, He closed by saying that the native sons ana daughters who were the descendants of the pioreers had the des- tiny of the State upon their shoulders, and that no act of theirs shoula mar the acts of their ancestors. They could make this the greatest country of the worid. His address was loudly applauded. An appropriate air by the band closed the exercises and then the grand officers went to the Atheneum, where they were the guests of Pacific Parior at a coliation. During the afterncon there was visiting to the headquarters of the different par- lors. The most prominent pariors were those ot Pucific Parlor. National Parior in Odd Fellows’ Hall, Eldorado Parlor in Germania Hall, Santa Rosa Parlor in Ma- <onic Hall, South San Francisco Parlor in Library Hail, Sequoia Parlor 1n the Court- nouse and Sacramento Parlor in Ridge- way Hall. At each place there were zood music, dancing and coliations for all who came. To each v.sitor there was presented souvenir of some kinf. The headquar- ters of Eldorado Parior were decorated with exquisite taste, as were those of Santa Ro-a Parlor. During the afiernoon Stanford Parlor gave a banquet in a hatl on Fourth s'reet 10 its members and a number of invited guests, This morning, after the night parade had been di-missed, the Native Sons’ band escorted the Exempt Fire Company to the hail of the Santa Rosa F.re D -part- ment, where the little old engine 49 was housed, and the old firemen were invited by Chief Engineer Munther to a hall in the vicinity, where they were treated to a splendid collation. To-night California Camp No. 4 of the Argonauts conferred its peculiar degree upon at least 100 cancidates.

Mate of a Brilisl:-hip Almost Killed by a Bullet From the Battle- ship Oregon. PORT COSTA, Car, Sept. 9.—First Mate George of the Briush ship Kirkcud- brightshire, now lying at the wharf here waiting to load barlev for Liverpool, is exhibiting to the curious bullet hole in one of the mizzen backstays of his vessel. “If it had not been for that backstay,”” said the mate, “I would have gone to Davy Jones’ locker last Monday morn- ing.” The bullet hole 1s in a piece of wood that is tied 10 a lower portion of the after backstay of the mizzen mast on the port side. Beside the piece of wood there is an iron bar to which the backstay is fastened for additional strength. The builet, which was at least a *44’" struck the piece of wood on the outside, passed through 1t, and was flattened against the iron bar. “That happened last Monday morning,” continued the mate. “We were lying in Mission Bay at time, and the battle- ship Oregon was anchored near by. The men on board of her were engaged in pistol practice. Their target was on the surface of the water and right between our ship and theirs. “How the bullet managed to get up this way is more than [ know. I was standing near the skylight there when it strock and a few of the splinters hit me in the face. If that backstay hadn’t been justin the right place the bullet would nave passed on and given me a chance to stop it. Ifeel that [ am lucky in having such a very narrow escape. “‘Captain Purdy dug tbe bullet out from between the wooa and the iron bar, and took it over to the officers of the Oregon. They were greatly surprised and unable to account for its striking our ship, but seemed to think that the bullet was of imperfect shape =o that it took an upward course or else that the man who fired it pulle‘(,i the trigger before he had taken aum. e Buspected of Siurder.
