WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—To those whose industry, persever- ance and suffering have added 80 many millions to California’s greatness and the nation’s wealth the heart of every true American must on this day re- spond with gratitude and pride. More especially must this be true with those whose nativity is honored by California as a birth- place. As one of the latter I extend my humble well wishes to those patriots (the California min- ers) whose sacrifices and toils have won for my native - State an honored name and deem it a rare privilege to offer my ser- vices to their command. ‘The day of the Golden Jubilee should be one of thanksgiving.

The red shirts of the old Veterans and the hoary-headed Pio- neers were vividly contrasted with the and light-gowned figures ¥ escorts. Evergreens formed the basis of the decoration of the room and every available spot had been utilized on which to hang a sprig of fern or flower, and through it all was woven the bright yellow colors of the Jubilee celebration. During the evening vocal selections were given by Miss Lillie Wilson, Mrs. Kendall and Mr. Boyson, and a cornet solo was given by Mr. Teazel, a young Native Son of Dixon. William D. Far. , one of the Veteran Firemen, re- cited a poem that had been written for | the occasion. A long programme of dances followed. The National Guards Defeat the Armys at Central Park 5 to 4. In the game of football yesterday at Central Park between the Army and National Guard teams the superior brawn and muscle of the latter, com- | bined with the poor judgment on the part of the Army, gave the victory to the Guards by the close score of 5 to 4. The game was exceedingly clean and O 11122572 11 e G ) teams exhibited a tendency to play slow and take the time limit on all oc- casions, it was nevertheless exciting and full of interest. The crowd was small, but enthusiastic, and especially 80 were the Wild West Indians, who occupied seats on the eastern side of the fleld. From a critical point of view should have won, but after st miinutes of play their t work dropped off, and on several occ sions Captain Carson used exceedingly the ten poor judgment in the running of the team.

Then again B. F.

Seabright was Stanford’s famous half in 1895, and has one of the best records as a player on the coast. The Army team was greatly weakened by his absence. For the Army Curran did the best work.

WASHINGTON, —The Golden Jubilee is a timely and fitting tribute to the hardy and intelligent pioneers who laid the foundation of California’s great- ness and the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of gold in Cali- fornia is a fitting occasion for such a celebration. That event greatly promoted the settlement and development of the great empire of our country's terri- tory lying west of the Rocky Mountains. California owes much of its present greatness to that event. Certainly more than to any other single event in her history. I am sure that the cele- bration will be entirely worthy of the occasion and hope that its success may surpass the expec- tations of its public-spirited pro- moters. I join most heartily in the sentiment which has inspired the Golden Jubilee and which will, I am sure, carry it to a glorious success. E. F. LOUD.

THEJGFEYSE elee; m IRST JUDGE. Dr. Gardner Colton an Early Justice of the Peace. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Dr. Gardner Q. Colton is one of the oldest of old Californians residing in New York. He is 84 years of age, well preserved, and as vigorous as a man in his prime. “Indeed I would like to be in San Fran- cisco,” said the old pioneer to The Call correspondent to-day, “and participate in the festivities attending the Golden Jubilee. How did I come to go out to California? Well, it was in this way.

JOHN A. BARHAM. ® [ORCICHONOROJOROJOROJOOJOJOROXOKOJO] commander, Commodore Stockton, ap- pointed Walter chief alcalde, or ecivil governor. This office he filled for three ye s, or till 1849. Soon after he ar- ved he found a font of Spanish type all pi in the cell of a monk. With this he printed the first newspaper ever printed in California. It was the Cali- fornian. In this paper Walter issued his orders, one of which was forbid- ding all gambling. “Early in 1849 Walter wrote for me to come out there, as he thought I might do well. T started early in February, and arrived in San Francisco on Mag 10. It was too early’to go to the mines as the water in the rivers was too high for surface diggings. “I had saved just $400 when winter came on. San Francisco had then grown to be almost a city. I wrote home to my wife telling her that Cali- fornia was a humbug, but that I could do something to make a living during winter and in the spring would come home. She wrote back that I should come straight home. On the day before I received this letter I put a letterinthe postoffice for my wife with drafts for $10,000 in it. How did I get this money? In connection with another man T opened a hospital for the care of those needing nursing. Soon after this Governor Riley, who succeeded my brother Walter, appointed me first Jus- tice of the Peace for San Franeisco. This office gave me power to make land grants for town lots, do the Coroner's business and try all cases under $100.
