Denicke, president of the as the chairman for the occasion. When the bell had struck the last of the fifty strokes he recited the origin of the movement to celebrate the discovery of gold in California and the efforts to give a fair illustrative of the mining industry of the Waest. Mr. Denicke then, on behalf of the Mechanics' In- stitute, turned the responsibilities of the fair over to the Miners' Associa- tion, of which Jacob Neff is president. Mr. Neff in accepting the trust said: Mr. President and Members of the Me- €hanies’ Institute; In ncc{i)llnw on behalf of the California State Miners' Associa- Mechanics’ Institute could it be made an assured success, and it is with pleasure I make this public recognition of the fact. As I stand here to-night, one of the oldest active miners in the State, the mists of memory rise, and as the shad- owy procession of the years goes by I realize that we are beginning a new era.

Mayor Phelan then introduced the four companions of Marshall, and in his address said: The city of San Francisco, as a labor of love, decided to appropriately cele- brate the fiftieth anniversary of the dis- covery of gold in California. It is a mat- ter - of congratulation that the heroic men—the pioneers of California—who had the courage and intelligence to improve a golden opportunity have been s0 fit- tingly honored. The Jubilee may be regarded as being preliminary to the opening of the Min- ing Fair and leading up to it. Here the miners have brought from the mountains outcroppings of the wealth of California and laid them before the people of the State. On the seal of the city and county of San Francisco are the words “Gold In Peace and Iron in War.” Gold signi- fies civilization and luxury, fron fortitude and courage. Those words tell the story of our past. Over a hundred years ago the old Mission beil, which you see before you. called the “Golden Hell,” told the aborigines in musical language of the ar- rival of christianizing and civilizing_in- fluence and recalls the more than fifty years of pastoral quiet which preceded the gold discovery. decorated, and every detall in the ar- ranging of exhibits carried out in good taste. In addition to the elaborate ex- | hibits of machinery and practical meth- ods of mining it is proposed to have a series of lectures ¢n various subjects of | interest to miners, and there will also | be a daily amusement atcraction. | “Charles G.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—At 11:07 | o'clock the President touched the but- ton opening the Jubilee Mining Fair. The answers to his greetings were re- ceived In eight minutes. There were present the President and Mrs. McKin- ley, Justice and Mrs. McKenna, Mrs. and Miss Stanford, Senators White and | Perkins, Representatives Maguire, Loud, De Vries, Hilborn, Barham, Barlow, Castle, and Mrs. Castle, Mrs. .De Vries, Mrs. Maguire, Mrs. Hilborn, | Miss Hilborn and Miss Loud. Senator Perkins called upon Senator ‘White, as the senior Senator, to thank | the President for his kindness and courtesy. Senator White, addressing the President, thanked him on behalf of the people of the State of California. The President responded briefly, saying that he enjoyed the ocvcasion as thor- oughly as any other party present, and was pleased to have had the privilege of sharing in the Golden Jubilee cele- bration. In speaking of the occasion Judge Maguire said: “The ceremony in' the ‘White House to-night was in many re- | on the rocking | spects the most impressive and inter- | esting 1 have ever witnessed. Standing | here with a group of enthusiastic Cali- | fornians, surrounding the President of | the United States, while in an instant | of time actually rang the Jubilee bell in | the Mechanics’ Pavilion in San Fran- | cisco, 3200 miles away, impressed me more than ever before with the truth | that intellect has conquered time and | space and that the chief magistrate of | this great nation is indeed in close | touch with the remotest sections of our | country. “I venture to say that the audience | assembled in San Francisco which heard the bell answer to the touch of the button here and which applauded the President’s beautifully framed and sincere greeting was not more enthusi- astic than the California audience which applauded the responses here. We all feel that we have actually par- ticipated in the opening of the Jubi- lee fair, and we feel pleased to have had the privilege of so doing. To the President himself the occasion was more than perfunctory. It was mani- fest that he was deeply and sincerely interested, and really enjoyed his share in the occasion. “The unexpected presence of Mrs. McKinley gave an additional interest. We regarded her presence as a very high compliment, since being a con- firmed Invalid, she rarely ever taxes her strength to attend such function On the whole, the affair was very ple: ant and highly gratifying to the just and reasonable pride of Californians in the affair and the fame of the State.” - CHILDREN AT DRILL. The Young FEQS Join in the Jubilee Celebration. Fifteen thousand children made merry at Golden Gate Park yesterday. It was children’s day of the jubilee week's festivities, and the young men and the young ladies of the rising | generation—the children in frocks and the tots just beginning to walk, as well as scores in carriages exclusively their own—joined in the celebration. Children were at the park as soon as the sun began to shine,and by 10 o’clock | the children’s playground was crowded. ‘The merry-go-round did not stop from the arrival of the first boy until dark- ness set in, except to change the loads wooden horses. The | donkeys and the goats were kept mov- ing in double-quick time all day, and there was not a child in the park who | did not have a ride. | Captain Thomson and his squad of | park police and Sergeant Tobin and twenty of the city policemen were on hand early in the day to keep some | semblance of order among the boys and girls; but the officers did not fo; get that they were chiidren themselve: and the biggest boys in the park du ing the day were Captain Thomson and Sergeant Tobin. The children jus mauled the policemen, and the police- | men liked it. They laughed with the little folks, and everybody had a good | time. A lunch and candy and popcorn were given to all the litie visitors. There | was a crush at the doors of the lunch- | rooms all the afternoon, but no one went hungry. It was a great effort for G. H. Murphy, the superintendent of the children’'s playground, to give benches to so many. The Calaveras band, with its mem- bers in the garb of the present-day | miner, furnished plenty of music for | the occasion. The- competitive drill of classes from the public schools was the attraction | of the day. A handsome silk banner, | given by the jubilee committee, was the | trophy. Drilled classes from six schools | competed for the prize. The Mission ‘Grammar School had a class of boys and a class of girls that were anxious to compete. The girls’ class numbered only thirty-eight, rank and file, and it seems it was the rule that there shounld be a full company of fifty-six. George Mehling, who had charge of the affair, refused to allow the ciass to compete. The girls of the class remonstrated, but Mehling was obdurate and replied: ‘‘What do you want to compete for? You won't get a prize, anyway.” The class of boys of the same school drilled of the school companies In the city. Its members refused to march on the parade ground unless the girls’ class. was allowed to éompete. The re- sult was that the drill was carried on without a representation from the Mis- sion School. Professor Edwards of the State Uni- versity was the judge of the contest. The points he considered in reaching a decision were: Timely arrival on the the personal appearance of and girls of the companies; attentic in the ranks; ability of offi- cers; alignment, wheeling and march- ing in fours and in platoons. The six companies that competed from the Horace Mann, Pacific zhts, Hamilton, James Lick, Ever- and Crocker. The girls’ drill corps of the Horace Mann School was de- ‘lared the most proficient, and it car- ried ¢ff the banner. The girls wore neat-fitting blue uniforms, with yellow trimmings and white leggins. The corps was captained by Georgia Barnes, with Iithel Simpson and Lena Williams as lieutenant. The boys’ drill corps of the Pacific Heights School was given the second prize. Sheldon Parker was its captain, and his lieutenants were Stanley Prior and Frank Pete The third prize was awarded to the girls’ corps of the James Lick School. The girls wore unifcrms of white, with Their captain was Pearl The class of the Hamilton Grammar School was captained by Al- bert Mohun, with Curtis Lindsley and Charles Eager for lieutenants. Annie Murray was the captain of the girls' class from the same school, and her lieutenants weré Ida Finlay and Hilda Kat, Frank McGovern was the captain of the corps of the Everett Grammar School. The lieutenants were James Campbell and Clarence Jeffreys. The two classes of the Mi on Gram- mar School and the drill corps of the St. Charles School gave exhibition drills and they were almost as much applauded as the winners of the prizes. Lot | FLOWER SHOW CROWDED. Thousands of Visitors California’s = Pretty Blossom:s. It was estimated dt the lowest fig- ures that at least 000 people visited the floral market during the three days that it was cpened to the public. Of this number 30,000 visited Union Square vesterday. From the time the market View | opened in the afternoon until it closed | at 10 o'clock last night, it required the efforts of a dozen policemen to handle the crowd. Early in the day it was found neces- sary to form in line those who wanted to pass through the large tent. This line stretched almost half way across the square. The music last evening furnished by the band of the Holy Cross. They did not play in the band stand, but took a position directly in front of the mar- ket tent. They were much praised for their music. Smso o The Wild West Show. The Wild West Show repeated itspro- gramme at Central Park yesterday, and will do so again this afterncon. lassoirg of the steers was not interfered with by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The only thing that was not down upon the pro- gramme was the falling of one of the horses in the coach holdup act. one, however, was hurt by the acci- dent. When it came to the lassoing of the steers one of the animals made a sudden break and came near getting mixed up with a cowbo There will be some rough riding to-day for a wager. George Sweitzer has bet Joe Warkins $50 that none of the cowicys can ride his horse, Jack the Ripper. Watkins says that he is willing to lose if he cannot produce a cowboy from one of those now in the show who can stick on the back of the hbdrse.
