THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1898. 3 Franklin. On the breast of a number |The band was dressed in the regulation | of these old soldiers was displayed the Scott medal. Following the cavalry came the men of the Golden Gate Life Saving Station, which is under the direction of Major T. J. Blakeney. There were sixteen men in the unifofm of the service, under command of Captain James Hodgson, ‘who is in charge of that particular sta- tion. The men’ marched four abreast and after them came a cart drawn by two horses, tandem, on which was a box containing the life lines, bombs, fakir's boxes, and then another vehicle drawn by two horses tandem on which there was a life boat, and after that there was another vehicle drawn by four horses, on which was a large surf boat. A number of carriages brought up the rear of the second division. In these rode Ger al John Bidwell and the following named members of the executive committée of California’s Golden Jubilee: T. J. Parsons, chai man; Henry Lunstedt, secretary; Mayor James D. Phelan, S. H. Daniels rd Coleman, 8. K “ord, John H. Grady. Mrs. Belle W. Conrad, Mrs. Mary E. Tillman, Henry Martin, Jacob H Neff and J. H. Jewett. In other car- riages rode the members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Pler Tiffany, Edy Thornton, T. L. The second division, under Marshal John F. Pinkham, formed at Steuart and Market streets promptly at 10:30 o'clock, and within ten minutes the column was in the line of march It was led by a float truthfully rep- resenting “The Aborigines.” As of yore the aborigines led the Ploneers. Marshal Pinkham and alds, E. Mc- Geary, Gart Bouton and James Gree- lano, then came in military array, and musicians who had the honor of corting through the streets those who had toiled in behalf of family and State played with all their energies.

They looked like miners, but played like musicians, for such they are. A Spanish navigator float was in the line of march, and a float representing Cal- averas County was one of the features of the day. On the platform drawn by f8ur horses | a large skull, golden in color, was erected above a tunnel in which miners were at work. An inscription, “The County of Skulls,” carrying out the time-worn legend, was painted on the banners; $100,000,000 has been taken from the county, and the banners also be- spoke that fact. The float was made under the supervision of the Calaveras County band and W. L. Hummel chairman of the Miners' Association of that county. Then came President of the State Miners' Association Neff in a carriage, with W. W. Montague, Professor S. B. Christy and E. H. Benjamin, followed by County Representatives J. J. Craw- | ford, 8. J.

ANCIENT FIREMEN ACCOMPANIED BY OLD-TIME MACHINES. | Martin Van Buren’'s ' Engine Contrasted With the New Water Tower. The third division was organized and ready to move long previous to the i{s- suance of the order to advance. When the clarion notes of the bugle sounded for the third to join the line of march it was about 10:40 a. m. The division rested on Spear street, its right ex- tending to Market, and when the order came it was the work of only a few | minutes to swing the columns into the city’s main thoroughfare and it then continued on its scheduled route. Men in the strength of youth, in the prime of life and in the gloaming of human existence; fire-fighting machin- ery with the rust of a hundred years upon it and again mighty constructions of steel, fresh from the painter’s brush, made up the third division. At the head of the column rode Marshal Colo- nel J. H. Burns. Behind him, in com- turned by anxious thousands who were | awaliting to give voice totheirthoughts: that now come those who made the State of sunshine and of flowers. The ler men were first to pass in e ready for the parade; probably the tardiness ingrafted in the unger sc but they waited with pa- nce, thou eager for the fray.

Then the junior members, carrying a banner of the Society of the Califor- nia Pioneers, made of white and gold silk and inscribed “Organized in 1850,” came in order. They numbered 150 strong, and followed in their turn. Major Meyers, Sam Gardner, W. H. Shelley and Mike Slater were among the mounted Pioneers in the parade. ‘The mining division, 200 strong, then swung into line with Division Marshal T. T. Lane of gallant Calaveras, and his aids, carrying the line of march. A float, representing Tuolumne County, on which miners of early days worked at gravel rockers, was next in line. The picturesque Calaveras County Jubilee band of twenty-six pieces led the Veteran Guard of California, Lieuten- ant Eugene Wiegand commanding. memoration of Balboa, who ages ago christened the Pacificc when dreary sand dunes and tangled forests marked the spot where San Francisco now | stands, a float, “The Spanish Naviga- tors,” was drawn along. It was a ship of clumsy lines and fan-shaped sails, but a true representation of the egg shell craft in which Balboa used to brave the ocean storm centuries ago. { Then came the young and the aged, the | old and the new. | George C. Bohen, president of the Ex- ! empt Firemen's Assoclation, led his comrades in the cortege. A long line of carriages in which the hoary headed Exempts were seated came next, and behind the strongest of their marched, dragging along with them the first and the oldest fire engine on the | Coast. The old engine, a mere toy when compared with a modern fire fighter, was manufactured in New York in 1820, and was subsequently pur- chased by President Martin Van Buren. ‘When the gold rush in the latter for:ies con'menced the engine, whica hac. leng since left the possession of President Van Buren. was hitched behinc a yoke of oxen and brought over the plains to the lard cof the setting sun. It <was cast here ani there for a tim» and fin- ally found permanent occupation in San Fruncisco. It was used for three years by the repts ih their battles with the flames, but finally, in 1852, a better engine was constructed by th2 fireinen and Martin Van Buren’s “toy” was laid away forever. The engine of 1852 followed its pre- decessor and the gray haired men who drew it along the streets were cheered and cheered again by the crowds that lined its route. The Board of Fire Commissioners, George T. Bohen, Joseph S. Marshall, Frank G. Edwards, Colin M. Boyd and John W. McDonald, and Chief D. T. Sullivan in carriages were next in line. Behind them rode a number of Ex- empts, whom age and accident had dis- abled. Modern fire apparatus, consist- ing of Engine No. 2, the machine that was awarded the first prize at the ‘World’s Fair at Chicago, hose cart, chemical engine, hook and ladder truck, fire patrol and the latest constructed water tower. The tower is one of the most formida- ble “fire fighters” in the department, and was designed by H. H. Gorter, | proudly along the streets lot | master machinist In the fire depart- | ford Parlor, No. 76, which turned out a ment. strange contrast Buren's “toy” that preceded it but a few yards In the line of march. It is bullt almost entirely of metal; brass, steel and bronze entering largely in its construction. It is a metailic telescope tower, the inner tube being of brass and twenty feet long, the outer tube of steel, which can be extended twenty- two feet high. The machine attracted unusual notice owing to the fact that it was built entirely in this city and ex- perts say far surpasses any apparatus imported from the Eastern States. The veteran volunteer firemen’s band was next in the line of march, and with its music set the pace for their com. rades behind. The lgst of the third di- vision was made up »f visiting firemen. Vallejo Hook and Ladder No. 1 were the proud possessors of an old engine built in 1859. This its members drew until the parade was ended and then took their treasure to the veterans’ headquarters, where it will be zealously guarded until the days of the Golden Jubilee are past. NATIVE SONS AND DAUGHTERS ESCORT THE JUBILEE QUEEN. Her Entourage Presents an Im- posing and Inspiring Spectacle. The fourth divislon was composed principally of Native Sons and Daugh- ters of the Golden West and in point | of numbers and display of brilliant colors was a veritable kaleldoscope. They formed in good order and time | on Main street, moving thence into the | main column. The male sections of this divison were handicapped by the fact that a great many members were military companies to which they be- long, but they made a splendid show- ing nevertheless and they were re- ceived all along the line of march with genuine expressions of hearty admira- | tion. Especially was this true of the fair sex who took part. They were greeted with salvos of applause, and | edJaculations of “ohs” and “ahs” along the entire route. | The Native Sons all wore their re-| galia, the yellow sashes being emblem- red for trustees and blue for the mem- bers themselves. All the parlors were preceded by two beautiful silk flags, the Bear flag of the California Repub- lic, and the American flag, and in addi- | tion by their respective banners, which 0B 196 a - o Han 4 bicycle trucks with pneumatic date style by Shetland ponies.

Dunne, Justice Garoutte, Thomas Flint and T. Jones. The first section of this division was led by Section Marshal L. E. Nonne- mann _and his aids Henry Faure and J. B. Kennan followed by mounted In- dians, who varied the monotony by in- dulging in lusty war whoops (returned in kind by the onlookers), Mexicans and mounted miners in costume; the Independent Rifles (escort), Captain L. Schneider commanding. The N. S. G. W. float came next. This was the “thirty-first star of the Union,” and the bright particular star was im- personated by Miss T. Brown.

This section formed in the following order: Mount Tamalpais Parlor, No. | Parlor, No. 183; Piedmont Parlor, No. 1120; Athens Parlor, No. 195; Brooklyn | Parlor, No. 151; Redwood Parlor, No. | 166; Alameda Parlor, No. 47; Sunset | Parlor, No. 26; Mayfield Parlor, No. 166; | Palo Alto Parlor, No. 82; Observatory | Parlor, No. 177; San Jose Parlor, No. 22; Bay City Parlor, No. 104; Niantic Par- | lor, No. 105: National Parlor, No. 118; | | Columbia Parlor, No. 121; Hesperian | Parlor, No. 137; Alcatraz Parlor, No. 1145; Alcalde Parlor, No. 154; South San Francisco Parlor, No. 157, with float “California,” which was designed and built by members of the last named parlor. A very pretty one it was, too, drawn by four large white horses, each weighing 1,900 pounds. The predomi- nant color was yellow, and “California” was represented by Miss Irene Graves, her attendants being Pearl Squires and Josle Hoare. The float also carried the parlor's banner and a huge stuffed bear and eagle. The third section formed in llne of march under the direction of Marshal S. A. White, led by Sequoia band. Miss Mollie Brown and Mrs. Ida Kellenber- ger acted as aids, and the strains of the | music heralded the approach of the Jubilee Queen, Miss Minnie Klevesahl. A four-horse carriage followed the music, in which were seated Mrs. Torres, the oldest Native Daughter in the State of California, who was born at the Presidio of San Francisco in 1826. She was accompanied by her husband, and cheer after cheer was heartily given as.the carriage passed along the line of march. Then Sequoia Parlor No. 160, Precita Parlor No. 187, Olympus Parlor and the Jlympus Parlor band, Presidio Parlor No. 194, Wistaria Parlor No. 127 in car- riages gaily decorated with California poppies and jubilee flags, Oakland Par- | lor No. 50 and Donner Parlor No. 162 of Truckee passed by. A float entitled “Golden Star of the Union” followed in line with the Queen enthroned on its spacious platform. The stars and stripes and the beauty of the Queen stirred the blood of the onlookers as nothing more had previously done. Ar- rayed in regal garments, surrounded by her attendants, Miss Rita McCarthy, Miss Mabel de Rose, Miss Ruby Cam- eron, Miss Isabel Pommeroy and Miss Nettle Kapp, the fair Queen occupied the ambulant throne of a scene not soon to be forgotten. The red, white and bltue mingled with brighter colors as the float glided along, and as the Native Daughters from the varfous parlors of the city followed in white riding habits mounted on spirited | | most pleasing to the eye. color to the already dazzling picture. | cavalcade; the ¢ Fitzgerald, and Mesdames Charles Levy, J. C. Fitzpatrick, Esmond and Tves. . There was much indeed to interest and entertain in this division and the Native Sons and Daughters are to be congratulated on their fine appearance and the enthusiasm which character- ized them in lending their best efforts to make their part of the parade an unqualified success. They were most orderly and marched with a military precision not often found among civil- jans. Some of the parlors turned out over a hundred men and this is a re- markably good showing. Especially was there a profusion of silken banners and the letters N. S. G. ‘W., done in golden popples (which is so much easier to spell and pronounce than eschscholtzia), was a noticeable feature, borne as they were by two In- dians and two Mexicans in their char- acteristic costumes. The whole divis- fon was essentially a native production and without making any invidious comparisons it was as good as could be seen in the whole parade. A feature of note was the three bands, composed respectively of Golden Gate, Sequoia and Olympus Parlors, | 64; Sea Point Parlor, No. 158; Nicasio | At their head rode Miss Bertha Gar- diner, a little girl, the mascot of the Misses Anna Brown, ties of the Ancient Order of Hibernians first assembled on Ninth street and marched behind the Hibernia Band to the place assigned for the divislon to form in line. The men were in place at 10:30 o'clock awaiting the order of the grand marshal for the procession to move. At the head of the division was a handsome ficat representing the rais- | ing of the flag at Monterey. The de- sign was that of one of the old-fash- ioned houses of early days with a wide veranda running around. Grouped on the veranda were a dozen people dressed in accordance with the styles of the pericd represented, while above their heads floated an American flag. Behind the float came Division Mar- shal P. J. McCormick, Chief Aid T. R. Bannerman and Aids Bartley Lee, J. J. Meehan, Francis Boland, J. J. Dono- hue, P. Broderick, J. H. Dolan, F. P. Scully, T.

Kilkenny, Willlam O’Shaugh- nessy, Eugene O'Connor and R. Shep- ston. The first section of the division was under the command of J. P. Dignan, assisted by J. P. Henry, Edward I | Sheehan, Frank Conklin, P. J. Keller, L. Fitzgerald, R. J. Meehan and John Kenny. Following behind the Hibernia Band came the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles, one hundred strong, under the command of Captain J. F. Casey. The riflemen acted as an escort guard for divisions 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of America. The members did not wear any regalias. but had pinned to the lapels of their coats bits of green and yellow ribbon. Several carriages containing clergymen and officers of the order brought up at the end of the section. J. C. Murphy was marshal of section with D. M. Murphy as chief aid and C. D. O'Gara, James O'Dea, John Geary, F. M. McAllister, J. M. Doyle, J. C. McAvoy, E. J. Murphy and M. J. O'Gara as aids. Marching in close rank behind the Artillery band of Oak- land came divisions 1, 2, 3, 4 and § of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Alameda County. Members of the order from adjacent towns fell in behind the Alameda delegation. At the head of section 3 of the dfvi- sion was a large float representing one of the famous round towers of Ireland. The tower was an imitation of granite, and was profusely covered with moss 2, lUving figures representing Ulster, | Munster, Connaught and Leinster, the | four provinces of Ireland. The thirty- two counties were represented by chargers, an anxlety was felt as to which portion of the section would be The white velvet habits with yellow-lined capes and white fedora hats trimmed with gold stars and cord lent animation and green sashes. mountain in the rear of time Irish melodies. The sides of the float were further adorned with hand- some shields, on which were painted pletures representing some of the Irish heroes. The section was marshaled by Peter J. Tamony, assisted by P.

McGinney, Wil- liam Mulvin, H. J. Caveny and J. J. Donovan. Then came the members of the Celtic Union, composed of the fol- lowing organizations, marching to the strains of martial music: St. Patrick’s Mutual Alliance of California, Knights of St. Patrick; Unity Alliance No. 14, S. P. A. of America; Harmony Alllance No. 15, Excelsior Alliance No. 11, Pa- cific Alliance, Oakland Allance No. 5 and Union Alliance No. 16, S. P.

Division Marshal Rudolph Herold Jr., with his aids, quickly directed the various or- ganizations to their proper places in the division. Owing to the length of the divisions that preceded theirs the Ger- mans had a wait. Their turn to march at last arrived, and they swung into line behind the Irish societies.

Miss Florence Aswell, dressed in the costume of Eureka, sat on a golden hall, holding in one hand 2 shield and in the other a wand. Her feet rested on scenery de- picting undulating land, and on which was a roof showing a shaft that had been sunk. Division Marshal Rudolph Herold, accompanled by his aids, A. H. R. Schmidt and Edward Aigeltinger, fol- lowed immediately after the float. They wore yellow and white sashes and som- breros, and were mounted on horses decorated with military trappings. “Section Marshal Dr. F. P. Muffe and his aids, Henry M. Wreden, Henry ‘Wederky, H. Kuhis and Paul Ehren- pfort, rode with the Hannoveranner Verein. The latter organization made one of the most striking pictures in the parade. Mounted on white horses were Each wore a white and yellow sash and a black beaver hat with a silver star at the side. The company was in command of Captain J. M.

Nolden, John Horstmann, Adolph Utschig, D. Roberts and F. C. Muller. In a wagon decorated in Jubilee col- ors was Chief Marker H. Liebert and his two sons. A large transparency was shown, on which was painted the ring, bullseye, man and point targets which are used by the California Schuetzen Club. The second section of the division was in command of Marshal F. De- nicke, who was accompanied by A. Dierks and W. Utschig as aids. A float containing forty pretty youns girls of the San Francisco Turn Ver- ein led the section. It represented Pa- triptism, Gymnastics, Shooting and Fencing, the different branches taught by the organization. The girls were dressed in the uniform used in the gymnasium. Captain Charles Z. Zim- mer also occupied a #eat on the float. Ebert’s Military Band and the San Francisco Drum_Corps escorted the San Francisco Turn Verein. First came the shooting section, and then forty members of the organization, dressed in gray suits with red belts, each man carrying a silver wand. ¥if- ty young sgymnasts, dressed in the same costume minus the wands, fol- lowed in their wake, and along the line of march they gave a splendid exhi- bition in fancy drilling. Professor Barth, their gymnastic instructor, also marched. The Turners were com- manded by Captain Attinger and Licu- tenants Fred Xomer and Joseph Straub. The division was lengthened by the Vorwarts Verein and Schwaben Ver- ein. The Backers’ Verein Band joined in filling the air with sweet melody, and led the way for the members of the Backer Verein. A. Becker was marshal of the third section and was assisted by Aids Thomas Meyer, Charles Loesch, Charles Rihn, Alfred Hooper and August Brusse. The Verein Eintracht was well rep- resented by its shooting and turner sections and members. Von der Meh- den’s band, discoursing patriotic airs, led the soclety on the march. In the shooting section were fifty members, dressed in gray uniforms Green uniforms | ; with green facing. Their fine military appearance won them many encom- iums. The company was commanded by Captain F. A. Kuhls. He peceived able assistance from Lieutenants Otto Thiel and E. Jessen. The Turners were led by George Steffins. A wagon load- ed with yvong girl members of the so- ciety, dressed in their gymnasium | suits, followed. Nea! 100 members of the Mission Turn Verein turned out and helped swell the numbers in line. The fourth section was commanded | by Marshal G. Braun, who had as his aids C. Weggeman, E. Mohr' and R. Stolzenwald. The San Francisco Bakers' Verein attracted great attention by wearing the insignia of their office, white caps | and white aprons. Leading the way for the older members were six bright little children dressed as their elders were. Selo’s band furnished the music THE JUBLEE WS WS STOCKTON, Jan. 24—Govern- or James H. Budd was seen at his home this afternoon by a Call representative, and at the men- tlon of the celebration in San Francisco the Governor ex- pressed his deep regret that he and Mrs. Budd could not par- ticipate in the festivities of the day. An attack of his old enemy, the rheumatism, was re- sponsible for his being deprived of the pleasure, but he had fol- lowed every detail of the prepar- ations and knew what a great affair it would be, as San Fran- cisco never did aiything by halves.

One of the greatest features in yes- terday’'s parade was the float exhibited by. the League of the Cross Cadets.
