Nearly .0-' ©. every member of the association has passed the age of three score and ten. Samuel Snow, president | el } BOB ¢ the association, presided at the dinner. !g!; Eom A feature of the celebration was the presence of the woman who saw and held in her hands the g ol | o first nuggets of gold which were discovered in California by Marshall at Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, on | .O. January 24, 1848.

Mrs. Davis went across the plains in 1843. She was then a girl of 14 years. She was the first white woman married under the Spanish laws in what is now California. She was also the mother of the first white child born in that same country. She lived with her husband on Rancho del Paso (the ford of the river), fourteen miles from Fort Sutter. When Marshall discovered the gold in the sluiceway of the sawmill at Coloma he took the nuggets His road took him past the ranch of the Sinclairs ana Both Mrs. Sinclair and her husband saw the nuggets and Her husband was alcalde of the district. Letters were read from Chief Marshal Morse and J. T. Parsons, chairman of the executive committee of the San Francisco celebration. 9 L QOQ00GO0 o i & 10 umn, the companies instantly assumed positions in the different battal- s and awaited the command to rch. This was presently given, and the bugle sounded the signal to ad- vanée. Slowly the long column began to move from Davis street into Market, and at the command “Double quick,” h was passed rapidly along the the entire column passed from Davis street on a steady run. a moment the entire regiment was s aliotted place in the parade, and e musicians, having struck up one of ousa’s v marches, it was soon lost to sight and far on its way toward Montgomery street. The arrangement of the different battalions and companiesin the Leagus of the Cross Cadets was well nigh per- fect. Heading the procession was an old mule train, representing the early and primitive mode of transportation in the days of '49. Drawing the train were six mules, and on each side and attached to the wagon were a number of pack mules. Inside the oyval interior of the wagon were stationed a number of small chil- @ren, who, having become tired of waiting for the procession to advance, forgot the seriousness and dignity of their-positions and had adopted the more pleasant pastime of rollicking and sporting in the straw which was | | ration-for their soldlerly bearing and | horses which told, i buildings. Telescopes, globes and other and there throughout the scene, and four beautiful young ladies, costumed | scientific apparatus were disposed here | richly in white and gold, with golden | | crowns bedecked in jewels, posed at the four corners of the float as goddesses representing the sciences and arts. These were Misses Alice Maguire, Victoria Lewis. The construction of the scene was very ingenious, the topogra- phy being lifelike in the extreme, and the coloring an admirable work of the scene painter’s art. The snow-capped summit of the mountain and the very familiar detalls of the observatory and its surroundings were enthusiastically admired by all who were able to appre- clate the faithful representation. The California State Military Band of | Evangeline Ryan, Addie Holloway and | | | | twenty highly competent performers | { rendered efficient aid in livening up the | atmosphere in this division, and by its | performance acquitted small degree of credit. The High School Cadets, Captain Charles G. Bartlett commanding, aided | by Lieutenants M. E. Deutsch and W. | J. Buttgenbach, made a very fine showing and elicited no end of admi- graceful military evolutions.

Probably no feature of the great moving exhibit was accorded a more hearty ovation—mor a more continuous series of such—than the school chil- of this division. Large delegations from various city schools were in line, and the youngsters who are Califor- nia's future citizens made a picture calculated to arouse the enthusiastic admiration of any observer who was not a verv churl. Each school had its organization as a marching club, and each club was properly equipped with national flags and school banners, while all the youthful participants were costumed, fully, or in some de- gree, in the reigning carnival colors. Many of the girl companies were nota- ble for their fine appearance, as well as for their precise evolutions, in which they gave the boys a pretty close rub. In the first section were the Lincoln Grammar School, Horace Mann Gram- mar School, Washingron Grammar School, Pacific Heights Grammar School, John Swett Grammar School, Crocker Grammar School, Hamilton Grammar School, Franklin Grammar School, . Mission Grammar School, James Lick Grammar School and Ev- erett Grammar School, The second section containea the Hancock Grammar Schogl, Adams Cosmopolitan School, Columbia Gram- mar School, Clement Grammar School, Hearst Grammar School, Rincon Grammar School, Irving Scott Pri- composed of a delegaticn from the Young Men’s Institute, nearly six hun- | dred strong, who marched at a quick | step with colors flying and bearing the | standards of their different councils. These were succeeded by the German | Roman Catholic societies of St. Peter and St. Paul, who kept time to the mu- | sic of the San Francisco Military Band | and who surrounded an immense float | upon which was seated the children of the St. Bonifice Parochial School, on benches rising in circles tier after tier and culminating in a throne upon which was seated the figure of Eureka, impersonated by Mrs. Oswald. Franciscan fathers and prominent officers belonging to the different so- cleties concluded that portion of the | parade. At the head of the tenth division, which was next in line, came the horti- cultural float drawn by four horses gayly deccrated with yellow plumesand led by four fancifully costumed postil- lions. The float represented a huge yel- | low California poppy, in the open petals of which sat the queen of sunshine and | gowen guarded by a gorgeous butter- | Y. Behind the float the sunshine glit- tered on the naked sabers of the Gari- | baldi Guards and was reflected back | to their nodding plumes of red and pur- ple as they marched to the music of the | Monarch Band, and dressed their ranks | at the command of their chief, Cap- | tain Pizita. Then more carriages relled | along bearing the officers of the Com- pagna Carabinieri Svizziri. While the blue-coated, red-sashed and pictur- | esque Italian Fishermen's Association, | marching seventy-five strong around a | float, on which was one of their fa- mous boats and a net with real fish entangled in its meshes, closed up the end of the ninth division; one of the most unique and striking features of | included the San Francisco Commer- riages.

It was under the direction of Divislon Marshal Dr. Guido E. Caglieri and a staff of aids. The eleventh division, consisting en- tirely of Health Department employes and thejr exhibits, made one of the prettiest sights in the parade. headed by the Emmet Guard band, consisting of fourteen pieces under the leadership of S. J. Tully. Chief Market Inspector James P. Dockery was in charge, ajded by Inspectors Ben Davis and J. J. Sullivan. and then two four-in-hands, one con- taining the heads of departments and the other Dr. Willlamson of the board and his invited guests. Behind them were half a score of ambulances show- | ing the methods employed to-day for conveying injured persons to places where they can be cared for, and those of the past, where express wagons Wwere pressed into service to carry pa- tients to the hospitals. The employes of the department marched in double line in the division, their natty blue uniforms forming a | | Pleasing contrast to the yellow decora- tions of the carriages and ambulances. | The rear of the division was brought | up by five floats, showing the progress that has been made by the Health De- partment in its efforts to promote the welfare of the city. The first contained two paintings, one on either side, rep- resenting the progress made in milk inspecting. On the right was an in- spection station with wagons exhibit- ing their loads; on the left was a pic- ture of a milkman being placed under arrest by the milk inspector while in | the act of filling his cans from a water- ing-trough. The second float represented a huge milk can, about which were grouped of lttle boys and girls in yellow, blue and white cos- tumes, all emblematic of the benefits of pure milk. The third float por- | trayed sanitary and_unsanitary plumb- ing. The sorrow of the Board of Health at the closing of its food inspection stations was portrayed in the fourth float. The fifth float told of the efforts of the board to render Chinatown less a menace to the health of San Fran- cisco. Uniformed inspectors of the | board were shown directing the efforts | of laboreres while tearing down con- | demned rookeries. The second section of the twelfth | division, marshaled by Fred Raabe, cial Travelers’ Association and the In- | dependent Order of B'ne B'rith in car- | traveler's sample case. HOW THE CHINESE HELPED WITH THEIR ‘ GORGEOUS COLORS. | The Picturesque Twelfth Divis- ion Was a Section of the Orient. | A most interesting and picturesque section of the parade was the twelfth division, composed entirely of Chinese. | fcan costume led the van, being fol- lowed by a decorated buggy carrying a banner inscribed “N. 8. G. S. Parlor, May 11, 189; The bear was not | omitted in this division, for a stalwart Italian led a healthy looking bruin im- | mediately in the rear of the colors. Then came the mosaic of color that is one of the distinguishing characteris- | of the Chinese race. In gaudy yellow, blue and red, four Chi- > bore flags of the California Re- public and the national colors plenti- fully inseribed with Chinese charac- | ters. | Two minjature josshouses, borne by stalwart coolies, were next in line. The bearers were resplendent in yellow and blue and were followed by two more men bearing the gongs which Invari- | ably precede the banners of a Chinese procession. Richly embroidered and jewéled flags, such as are carried by the Chi- nese in their celebrations, were carried by men in yellow and green. Each car- ried a peacock feather fan stuck in the back of his belt, this being considered the necessary adjunct to the Chinese when he goes to war. A twelve-foot banner suspended on poles carried on the shoulders of stalwart bearers rep- resented the gods of peace following their accustomed vocations. Floats containing boys and girls in gorgeous costumes and decked in all the colors of the rainbow were next in line, each float containing its comple- ment of gongs, tom-toms and Chinese cymbals. More banners, the prevailing feature of the division, followed, each more gorgeous than the preceding one. The great war banner, four-sided, and requiring the efforts of eight men to carry it, was followed by the national flag of China, also supported by eight bearers. | The patriotism of the Chinese was | shown by the fact that this emblem w upheld by the flower of the Chinese merchants. The much-advertised wa riors of the Chinese division were rep- | resented by six little lads from 12 to 14 | vears of age, bearing arms that looked more like corn knives and pltchforks than modern weapons of warfare. Their costumes were gorgeous beyond description, running from the most delicate blue to the most pronounced | red and green. The rear of the division was brought | up by a number of floats containing | gorgeously bedecked Native Sons and Daughters and carriages,in which were seated the officials of the Crunese Con- suiate, officers of the Six Companies and a number of prominent Chinese merchants. MANY KINDS IN AT THE CLOSE. | Oddities of Contrast in the| Tail of the Grand | Procession. | | There were no more picturesue divi- sions in the entire parade than the thirteenth and fourteenth, for in| them was a strange mingling of civili- | zation and barbarism—the lingering | Indian and the refined musical Kna- | ben-Kapelle from Hungary. The float | with the forty juvenile musicians | were at concert pitch during the whole | of the procession. Behind them were | the Indians from Healdsburg, rem- | nants of the Guapo, or Mistobal tribe. | They cared little for the epaulettes and | bespangled bands of music that passed | hour after hour, and heeded not the | evidences that civilization has swept | away the conditions that confronted | those who first disturbed the repose of | the tribe in '49. They sat on the curbs, smoked and chatted about things as far from the parade as the camp fires of their ancestors are from the pyra- mids of Egypt. It was a strange ming- ling of races that formed the final col- umn of the great jubilee parade of de- bouching soldiers and enthusiastic citi- zens. Just behind the little Hungarian mu- of Stationary Engineers. As if to belie theilr vocation they hitched a traction engine ‘to half a dozen wagons, which carried members of their soclety.

W. Hawes, known throughout the West as “Bob, the Cherokee Scout.” There were many broncos in line and a score or more of cowboys of the plains, not men dressed for the occa- sion, but men who would feel uncom- fortable in any other costume than leather trousers and sombreros. At the head of these divisions was Marshal Grenzin, whose sparkling | sash attracted a great deal of atten- tion. The fifteenth division had been | practically superseded by other bodies | than those designated in the bills. It was to have consisted of a number of citizens in carriages and afoot, but they preferred to join divisions that were differentiated from the common herd of plebeians. As a result there were comparatively few, with the ex- ception of some who went in carriages, | and most of these managed to squeeze | in somewhere before the tail end of the procession was reached. PLUCKY NATIVE SONS CAPTURE A RUNAWAY HORSE. Tragic Scene at the Corner of Bush and Montgomery Streets. An occurrence that came near result- ing in a tragedy took place on the cor- | ner of Bush and Montgomery streets during the parade. A large gray horse broke from control and dashed rider- less into the crowd and several persons | were injured, two seriously. How the animal became loose no one seems te | know, but upon realizing that he was | nb longer under restraint the huge | beast, already frightened by the noise | | of a drum, dashed from the west side of | Montgomery street and sprang into the mass of people on the east side of the narrow thoroughfare. | The scene following was tragic. Wo- | men screamed, men shouted and chil- dren cried in fear. The crowd.surged back throwing many to the sidewalk and jamming dozens against the build- | ings. Escape was impossible and not | a few fell as they endeavored to save | themselves. Over, into and among the | prostrate people plunged the big gray, | tripping himself as he struck the curb- | stone. That no one was crushed by the | huge body was almost a miracle, and that no one's brains were kicked out while the horse was struggling to re- A second later the gray was up and away again, heading for the crowd on the corner diagonally opposite. "With three great bounds he was again in the midst of a mass of struggling human- ity, with bridle, mane and stirrups fly- ing. But the people had witnessed the | first wild break and to some extent were not unprepared. As the gray | | dashed into the crowd the latter parted | and left a narrow but clear passageway | for the terrified animal to escape. The | clatter of his heels on the sidewalk be- | tween the spectators and the buildings warned those who had not seen what had happened and a rush was made into the street. Opposite the Russ House entrance strong hands grasped | the flying bridle and the runaway was brought to a standstill and turned over | to the police, who were near by. To Max Lichenstein, J. J. McManus and a Mr. Somerville belong the credit of stopping the horse before he could do further damage. They are all members of Alcazar Parlor, N. S. G. W., which was passing at the time. They rushed from the ranks, broke through the crowd and eaught the horse, which was only subdued after a hard struggle. ‘When the horse had made the first | dash into the spectators a great crowd had congregated and it was quickly spread that several people had been seriously injured. The story was true. Mrs. Amanda Roberts, a middle»aged‘ colored woman living at 262 Jessle street, had been knocked down by the horse and the force of the shock had | hurled her into the gutter with a force | almost sufficient to have killed her out- | right. Kindly hands quickly removea | the unconscious woman to Wakelee's drugstore, a few feet away, and every- thing possible was done to restore her to consciousness, but to no purpose. The police ambulance was summoned and Mrs. Roberts was removed to the Branch Receiving Hospital on the city front. There was another passenger, however, in the ambulance. He was lit- tle Johnnie Coppertini, seven years of age, who lives with his parents at 730 Vallejo street. How the child was hurt no one seemed to know. This much was learned. He was the undermost person in the mass of struggling humanity that was hurled to the sidewalk when the gray made his wild rush toward the | | drugstore. At the city front hospital the woman | was first examined by Drs. Hill and Za- bala, who found that she was suffering from internal Injuries, to say nothing of cuts and bruises on her head and face. These are not serious, but the physicians fear the internal injuries may be difficult to overcome. Meanwhile the boy was being cared for. It was found that his injuries were | more ‘serious than at first supposed. | the little fellow's left arm was broken | above the elbow and his head and face were cut in three or four places. A short time after he had been in the hospital the child began to show signs of an injury to/the brain. As time passed the thought that he was only | suffering from a shock gave way to the belief that he had sustained a concus- sion of the brain and the doctors re- | fused to let him be taken away until the exact nature of the injury to the hegd could be determined. | There were others who were hurt. | but their scratches and bruises were trifling compared to the injuries of | those who had to be removed to the city front hespital. Mrs. M. Perry of | 735 Henry street, Oakland, was taken into a drugstore suffering with a num- ber of contusions on the body and head. Her bruises were received by being | knocked down by the surging crowd. Her 18-year-cld daughter escaped. Miss | E. Williams fainted and was taken into | the drugstore. Miss Ida Scott had a | similar experience, but both ladies re- | covered soon and were sent home in carriages. How the gray horse got started in | his wild but short career could not be learned, unless the story of one of the | clerks in Wakelee's drugstore is correct. He said that the rider went into a sa- | loon and left the horse stagnding at the edge of the sidewalk, a small boy hold- | ing the bridle. A passing band with a big bass drum attachment started up and the horse became frightened and broke from the control of the small boy. The horseman did not seem in a hurry to recover the animal, for he did not put in an appearance during the excite- mert and the big gray was taken to a stable near the pclice station by Ser- geant Shea. Another story is that a mounted police officer was tightening the saddle girt and that his horse hroke loose and ran away causing the damage and injuries mentioned. A number of the police, however, say that the ani- mal was the property of a civilian and not of an cflicer. ‘ P. Bennett of Twenty-fourth and Castro streets started to cross Market street, opposite Van Ness avenue, when he slipped and fell, badly fracturing his left kneecap. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital and treated by Dr. Kearney. It will be some months be- fore he is able to be around again. James Berry of 108 Mission street was standing in front of the crowd at Golden Gate avenue and Taylor street when Sergeant Harper pushed him back. Berry remonstrated with him, as the crowd behind him kept pushing him forward. The sergeant then, ac- cording to Berry and his friends, drew his club and struck Berry on the face, cutting his cheek and left eyebrow. Berry went to the Receiving Hospital, where his wounds were stitched and dressed, after which he went to police headquarters and lodged a complaint against the sergeant. C. Schroder of Oakland stumbled over: the curbstone at Seventh and Market streets and fell, dislocating his right thumb, which was attended to at the Receiving Hospital. ‘Walter Johnstone, a young man from San Mateo, was told to get back by Policeman J. C. Laws at Fourth and Market streets and refused. Laws pushed him back and Johnstone kicked him. Laws continued to push him back and Johnstone struck him in the face. Johnstone was arrested and booked at the City Prison on a charge of battery. . W. Krabler of 1730 Greenwich street has a grievance against a mem- ber of Company I, National Guards. The guards were assisting in keeping the crowd back at Fifth and Market streets, after their return from Van Ness avenue, and Krabler happened to be in front. The guardsman pushed him back, and because he did not go quick enough to suit him he struck him on the jaw. Krabler said, “You're a nice man to do that,” and the guardsman struck him on the head with the butt of his gun, smashing his hat and inflicting an ugly wound on his scalp. Krabler was taken to the Receiving Hospital by a friend and the wound in his head was stitched and dressed. He saild he would swear out a warrant to-day for the arrest of the: guardsman, as he would be able to identify him again. H. Petersen, a resident of Berkeley, is bemoaning his experience with pick- | pockets while viewing the parade. In his inside pocket was a large red wallet, one that might make a thief belleve contained the currency of the realm. However, it only contained a lot of deeds and documents of no use to any one but the owner. Mr. Peter- sen was caught in a jam and his coat was thrown open. A hand was thrust into his pocket, and before he could turn around the owner of the hand and the wallet had disappeared in the crowd. In his attempt to turn and dis- cover the thief Petersen was no doubt hampered by the confederates of the thief, for it was several seconds be- fore he could free himself from his sur- roundings. SONG AND STORY AND A LIVING LAUGHING FLAG. Literary and Musical Exercises Held at Woodward’s Pa- vilion. Fair as it was in its yellows and golds, its streamers of white and its garlands of flowers, c¢ld Woodward's | Pavilion took its greatest charm from | the “children’s flag,” which spread its brilliant colors before the speaker’s| platform. The stripes were rows of | girls and boys whose colored capes of | red and white scarce kept up in inter- | est with the brightness of eyes and smiles and faces, and the field was formed of boys with capes of blue and on the breast of each there shone a silver star. The flag stretched its liv- ing, laughing folds across a broad bank of seats sloping gently from the floor | to the bower of ferns and brakes that | marked the stage, and the movements | of the children seemed to lend life to | its coiors, and it rippled and flashed as gay as any banner ever flung to west- ern breeze. 3 The children were all from the city schools, and they dld more than merely sit in the gorgeous shades of the na- tional emblem and look the part they | were playing, for they sang songs of patriotism and joined in the choruses | and seemed as happy as if they them- selves had discovered the yellow metal instead of only celebrating the event fifty years after it had all happened. | The pavilion itself looked prettier | than it had on any event in its life! before, for the decorations were not too gaudy nor were they piled on until be- | yond the point of endurance; there was | Jjust enough and not too much, and the | effect was most appropriate. The time for the exercises to begin was long past before the parade was over, and so the crowd that gathered was not so large as it might have been. There was a number large enough, however, to stamp and applaud and cheer whenever the occasion allowed, and even the cold wind which whistled in and around the rich draperies and among the rafters could not break the enthusiasm nor stay the proceedings. It was nearly half-past 2 before the band arrived, and then the exercises began at once. Forty minutes of music brought the programme up to the speakers’' point, and then it was that the Rev. S. H. Willey stepped forward and asked a blessing, not only on the assembly itself, but on all it meant and all it promised. H. Jewett, president of the day and president of the Pioneers, opened the programme with a few remarks on the day of celebration and the events which had made it possible to cele- brate. ~ The Golden Jubilee, he said, commemorated one of the most strik- ing events in the history of the State, and an epoch in the nineteenth cen- tury. The discovery of gold, he de- clared, had changed the destinies of individuals, and who could say but that it had changed the destinies of nations? Then he referred back to the time when the State was a pastoral land—"a virgin soil, unvexed by the hand of man, its treasures unknown and hidden from view.” Then he told of the building of the old sawmill and the discovery of a little bit of yellow metal, of the tremendous excitement which it caused, of the wild rush of men to dig and delve in the creek beds and the water courses, and then he took up the organization of the Pio- neers and the significance to them of the day on which Marshall made his strike. Amid great applause he men- tioned the names of some of the more prominent of the builders of the State, and told of their lives and their strug- gles and the fame they had gained. Continuing on, he said: Fellow Pioneers: Living links in the chain which connects the past with the present, you have lived in the most event- ful period of the world’s history. Your romantic lives have been filled with thrill- ing experiences. You have witnessed frsflt and marvelous changes. Fifty years s a short time in the life of a State, a long time in the life of an individual. And yet, the face of nature has changed as much as the face of man. Look around you, and what do you behold familiar to yg(l:n:hen first you arrived on these S| 2 The same snow-capped mountains, the same benignant skies, the same broad ex- rnnse of waters meet your gaze.

And now, as we cast the horoscope of the future, and look forward to the cen- The Cuban Scare.

In a humor- ous way the Lieutenant-Govecnor ex- plained the absence of the executive, who was to have spoken, and then he proceeded to the task assigned him. “I am of the opinion,” he said, “that Columbus originally started out to dis- cover California, but not knowing the route he landed on Cuba, and if Cuba had been in her present state of mind he would not have been allowed to go back, and we would still be waiting for some man who had_sense enough to discover us. Had Noah taken a course in the State University he could have kept his compasses in better order and would have landed on Mt. Hamilton instead of Ararat. Think of the Lick Observatory going for 6000 years, discovering golden stars while in the ground there was gold enough to build the golden stairs.” Then he spoke of the native daugh- ters, turning neat compliments and promising for them and their success- ors a brilliant future. A few more words of ' the commercial situation, upon the Nicaragua canal, upon the “‘gold sufficient to regild the Golden Gate,” the climate of the State and her future, and then in_the name of Cali- fornia he welcomed the visitors and the pleasure-seekers and the celebrants of the great celebrations, and he closed with the assurance that those who had once come within the lure of the golden land would never leave it. A patriotic song by the children, ‘“Halil California,” followed, and the living flag arose on its many feet ané swelled the chorus with childish volices. The city’s welcome, delivered by Mayor James Phelan, came next. “Thrice welcome,” he said, “you plon- eers, builders of the West, as you pass before us to-day—perhaps for the last time. You represent the past and I the present; I the May, if you please, and you the December, but in California there is no incongruity in the compari- son, where the gky is clear at one time as another, and here at my side sits a man who came here in ’41, General John Bidwell, and I can say that he is as bright and light and as young as I am. There are others to follow me and I will withdraw, as it is fitting for a Native Son to do, for we have reaped the harvest they have sown and we are here only to bear testimony of it. All honor to the pioneers—the men of ’49. Let them possess the freedom of the city during their lives, for it will stand as their monument forever.” There was a song by the Knicker- bocker quartet, and then the Hon. Niles Searls, orator of the day, was introduced. Judge Searls’ address was a record of the scenes and the events around the old Sutter mill which made the year '48 an epoch in the world's his tory. First he described the count | Surrounding the scene of the great dis- covery, the American River, its branches and the site of what is now the town of Coloma. Then he told | how Captain John A. Sutter came out | from Germany and decided to erect a sawmill; how Marshall joined him | and hew, while digging a “race,” he turned up a little yellow lump of gold. The wild rush of people from every land and of every clime was his next theme, and he told how they came across the plains in wagon trains, by the isthmus, around the Horn and in every way and every direction. He told how they lived and how they worked; of their successes and their failures, of their hopes and of their disappointments. Concluding he ad- dressed the Native Sons and Daughters before him and said: Before the centennial year of the dis- covery of gold at Sutter’'s mill shall have dawned upon the world these veterans now upon the platform, who stood near Marshall when he plucked from Mother Earth her garnered treasure, and whom we reverence and delight to honor, will have passed away. In 1848 they were as waving pines; in 1898 they are gnarled oaks, sturdy to the last, but awaiting the resounding strokes of the axman, Death. The requiem of all the pioneers, from those who came in 1838 up to and includ- ing those of 1849, will have been sung prior to the centennial day.
