IN THE NAVE OF THE FERRY DEPOT guillotine Promenade Concert Which Thousands of Pecple Attended. OR thres hours last evening the spa- clous corridors of the ferry station | were crowded with celebrators. The long haliways made fine promenades and a band corcert helped to enliven | the occasion. The decorations in the upper corridors were quite elaborate, consisting of palms | and potted plants, red, white and blue bunting and American flags and shields. There were also a number of stars made of spangled tigsue paper and these were hung up on the walls, while at each of the two extreme ends of the main pas- sageway was a typical California bear with outstretched paw pointing to the word “Shake” In red electric bulbs. The outline of the bears was in white bulls. It is estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 people visited the building during the evening, and many stopped to listen to the music after the naval parade, | “Features of the concert were an anni- versary march written for the occasion by H. J. Seegelken; overture, “Norma’; comic opera medley, “Tid-Bits"; Spanish ;dnnces; the “Lohen{lrln Bridal Chorus,” and the “Blue and the Gray.” The corner of Market and Third streets 1wu one congested mass of humanity from dusk until after midnight.

With mouth open and surrounded by friends asking unanswerable questions, Mrs, Me- Endaw stood, and soon became the syno- ure of all eyes. T tuation presented itself in a funny light to th. i the crowd, but the friends of the lady be- cam armed and hurried her to the Har- bor Hospital. On examination by Dr. Putnam it de- veloped that the lady had a severe case of tired feeling some time ago, and In ex- pressing her feelings in a similar manner had dislocated her jaw. After treatment she was sent to her home in the care of friends. Fell Twenty Feet. Miss Emily Mitchell of § Twenty-second street, Oakland, went to the water front last evening to see the naval parade. Ac- companied by three friends, Philip Wesser of Oakland, J. Doherty of Seventh avenue and Mrs. Edwards, she went up in coal bunkers of Dunsmuir & Co at Steuart nd Folsom streets seeking a place where hey could better see the parade, In the darkness Miss Mitchell lost her footing and fell twenty feet and then slid down an iron coal chute. But for the fact that the lower end of the chute was closed she would probably have been killed.
