The signal to start was mmediately _followed by the order to “hook on.” The huge tug ran along the water front like a shadow, the wharves disappearing from sight rapidly in the gray mist of the morning.

In every detail " the supplement is a work of art and a thing of beauty. The first of the eight pages is devoted to a picture of the transport Sherman plowing her way through the Golden Gate that stands out with the vividness of an oil painting. The other illustrations that adorn every page are equally appro- priate and spirited. E The most notable of these is a full-page illustration of the heroic Cal fornians charging to the rescue of the Pennsylvanians when those gallant soldiers were attacked by the Spaniards during a terrific storm on the night of July 31, 1898—the first battle of the Philippine war. The grim face of Brigadier General James F. Smith, together with those of Colonel Victor Duboce and all the other officers of the regiment, looks from the fourth page of the supplement, and on the fifth page is a figure of California mourning her heroic dead, surrounded by the picture of all the gallant men who fell victims to the foemen’s bullets or the deadly Philippine climate, The text of the supplement is in keeping with the illustrations, including &s it does a history of the First California Regiment, with vivid descrip- tions of the battles in which it participated, together with a complete roster of the regiment. The Call supplement is a journalistic triumph of which it may well be proud and a souvenir of the war that will long be cherished by the friends and admirers of the gallant First. ered the city front thousand or more of thei the various excursion boat contented themselves by everything goes, especially when Johnnie esterday. is_California’s own. | But_noise is not all that went with the | crowd.
