B FLAG PRESENTATION. nan: Chamber of Commerce Gives a Stand of Colors to the First Regiment. The Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco vesterday confided to the First Regiment of California, United States Volunteers, the sacred flag of this repub- lic and its fitting mate, the colors of the State of California. Imposing in the ex- treme were the ceremonies, and of such a nature as to strike in every heart the chord of loyalty and patriotism. The presentation ceremonies took place about 2 o'clock upon the southern slobe that rises directly in the rear of Colonel Smith’'s headquarters, and it was wit- nessed by at least 6000 people. , The flag was presented by President Hugh Craig of the Chamber of Commerce and re- celved by Colonel Smith upon the part of the regiment. The regiment was drawn up at the foot of the slope, and half way up it Chief Trumpeter Julian Aitkin took his position with the colors encased in a waterproof covering. On the right in the formation was the First Battallon, in the center the Second and on the left the Third, When the formation was completed mand of Captain O'Nefll, passed in re- view of the regiment and took their posi- tion immedlately in front of President Cralg, who stepped out from the crowd and advancing to within a few paces of Colonel Smith made the speech of pres- entation in words well chosen for the oc- casion. The colors were then taken from their covering and thelr graceful folds tossed to the gentle wind. ‘As they unfurled the crowd uncovered their heads, 3 struck up ‘‘Sweet Land of Liberty,” and cheer after cheer arose from the assem- bled crowd. The colors were then handed into the keeping of Company M, which recelved them on behalf of Company B, the color company of the regiment. When President Craig had concluded his remarks, Colonel Smith, in accepting the stand of regimental colors, pledged on the part of the regiment its faith and loyalty to the flag that had been confided to its keeping, and he promised that its proud folds should never be sullied, and the hand of the tyrant should never pol- lute its purity as long as there was left a man_to strike in its behalf. He ex- pressed with deep emotion the gratifica- tion of the regiment at the kindly action of the Chamber of Commerce in present- ing it with the colors, and upon the oath of m*soldier and a gentleman he promised that the flag should ever be foremost in the defense of our country and that its brilliant stars and graceful folds should never be furled until the oppressor’s heel had ylelded to the sweet ministrations of Iiberty and peace. ‘At the conclusion of these ceremonies, in honor of General Dickinson and staff, Colonel Smith had the regiment ass in full review of the general. The and played the national alrs, the sol- diers_swung off with lively step, the crowd broke over the fleld, and one of the most impressive and stirring ceremonies that have ever taken place upon the soll of Californla was over. — NEBRASKA VOLUNTEERS. First Regiment Arrives and Opens the Bay District Camp. The vanguard of the Eastern troops which are to form part of the army of invasion of the Philippines arrived yes- terday, when two battalions of the First Nebraska Volunteers went into camp on the site of the old Bay District race- track. Headquarters, the band and the Second Battalion were the first to arrive, the first detachment landing at the foot of Market street at 1:45 p. m., and the second fol- lowing half an hour later.

They, too, were taken in hand | by the ladies of the Red Cross, and after | they had eaten their fill and had given three cheers for their hostesses, line was formed, and, escorted by Lieutenant Car- son of the Fourth Cavalry, and the Mer- chants’ band, the imn’ proceeded up | Market street to Golden Gate avenue and | out that houlevard to the camp ground, | which was reached shortly before b | o’clock. { Lieutenant Neall, Fourth United States Cavalry, had been as busy as a whole hive of bees all day preparing for their | coming, and the battalion found an abundance of wood and straw for bedding walting. Pipes had also been laid an water turned on, so that all the troops | had to do was fo pitch their tents and make themselves as comfortable as pos- sible. Colonel Bratt did not accompany the | battalion to camp. He went direct to | army_headquarters and reported to Gen- | eral Merriam, and having received word | that the First Battalion would not reach | Oakland Mole until after 6 o'clock, he ar- ranged to have it remain aboard the train undl morning. h misunderstanding in : for when Lieutenant- fonel Colton and his command reached alland he was notified to proceed at | once to the camp. consequence, the First Battalion came the bay, land- 5 p. m. They, too, were bountifully ‘provided for by the Red | Cross Soclety before beginning the march | out beyond Lone Mountain. | The second battalion brought two oddi- | tles in the way of mascots. One is a mag- nificent golden eagle, presented to the regiment by Hon. William J. Bryan before | it left Lincoln. The bird is confined in a | big wire cage. The other pet is a baby | wolf, which one of the men carried in his | arms. The little thing is as tame and | playful as a Kitten, but is only contented when one of the boys in blue is holding | him.
