EVER in its history did Me- chanics’ Pavilion present a more magnificent scene than | &1 ' | without exception presented an appear- it did last night when it was filled with the parading host of Mystic Shriners. Those who were fortunate enough to gain admission to the hall witnessed a spectacle the memory of which will remain with thefn as long as life lasts. After the parade along Market street the Shriners marched into the Pa- vilion to be reviewed by Imperial Poten- tate Phillip C. Shaffer. The review proved an appropriate climax to the outdoor pa- rade. Mechanics’ Pavilion had been decorated with flowers, vari-colored bunting and il- luminated with electric lights until it seemed a fitting rival in splendor to Alad- din's wondrous palace. Immense American flags had been so arranged across the ceiling as to form a starry canopy over the marching Shriners. Suspended from the center of the cefling was an immense framework decorated with bunting and flags and brilliantly lighted. On both sides of this ornamented framework were hung smaller figures, which were also decor- ated with bunting, flags and lights. Around the balcony were twined stream- ers of red, white and blue. Imperial Potentate Shaffer’s stand, which was situated on the right hand side of the hall, directly: opposite the center, was also tastefully decorated. The Arab Patrol of Islam Temple was the first to reach the Pavilion. As it marched in there were few Shriners or other specta- tors present to greet it. But as the various patrols continued to arrive at the Pavilion the crowd of spectators kept pouring in until the hall was filled. Each patrol on marching into the hall, headed by a band and with its members attired in fantastic costumes, added to the at- tractiveness of the spectacle. It would be difficult to determine justly which patrol made the best showing or which was dressed in the most attractive c or picturesque costumes. Iach patrol ance that it may well be proud of. El Jebel of Denver, El Malaikah of Los An- geles and Moolah of St. Louis and a num- ber of others were greeted with applause. YOUNG LADIES PARADE. The scene as far as beauty and enthu- slasm are concerned reached its height when the young ladies from the various counties acting as representatives for and sponsors of the Shriners marched into the hall, accompanied by their escorts. Miss Grace Oliver of Sulsun had the honor of heading this procession of beauty. She was becomingly _attired in a dress of shimmering silk. She made an appearance which stamped her well worthy of the | honor of taking the leading part in the splendid scene. After Miss Oliver marched the follow- ing young ladies representing the various counties of the State: Alameda, Miss Zada Whipple; Alpine, Miss Bessie Baker; Amador, Miss Jennie Hol Butte, Miss Lizzie F. Baker; Calaveras, Madeiine Young: Colusa, Miss Kitty Mitchell Contra Costa, Miss Rose Dunleavy; Del Norte, Miss Gettle N.

MOOLAH WINS PLAUDITS. After all the patrols had marched into the hall Moolah Patrol of St. Louis, Mo., gave an exhibition of drilling, the equal of which has never been seen in this clty. This patrol is composed of stalwart men, many of whom may well be considered portly, yet they marched, counter- marched, wheeled and formed intricate figures in the maneuvering in the most surprising manner. Not once in twenty minutes_of steady drilling did they make a mistake. Their exhibition was easily the feature of the evening, and when Imperial Councils shall assemble in other cities and other patrols shall drill for the edification of the people, Shriners who witnéssed last night's drill will take pride in telling about the plaudits that Moolah won. Moolah Patrol was com- manded by Captain Clarence Sinclalr. At the conclusion of the réview the band, under the direction of Noble George ‘W. Bennett, rendered the following musi- cal programme: March, ‘“The Yankee Hustler’ (Hon. Eugene B. Schmitz, Mayor of San Francisco); selec- tion *Huguenots” (Meyerbeer); ‘‘An’ Album Leaf” (Richard Wagner); patrol, “‘Blue and Gray” (Dalby); ‘A Midnight Patrol by the Shriners” (returning home at 4 a. m.) (Lee Johnson); ‘“‘American Medley” (Bendix): se- lection, St. Luke's choir boys; Hungarian Dances Nos. 1 and 2 (Brahms): selection, ‘‘Lo- hengrin” (Wagner); half an hour with the ath- letes, direction of Noble John A. Hammer- smith; intermeszo, ‘‘Forget-Me-Not”’ (Mac- beth); waltz, ‘‘Artist's Life” (Strauss); (a) Morceau characteristique, ‘A Southern Rev- erie’’ (Bendix), (b) march, ~‘‘The American Citizen™; march, “Stars and Stripes” (Sousa).

Y., on the second Wednesday and Thursday in July, 1903. After the formal welcome of the Shriners by Mayor Schmitz the council went into executive session and | proceeded to transact routine bustness. | The selection of a meeting-place was the | most important subject discussed. | It was conceded last year, when the Shriners met at Kansas City, that Sara- | toga Springs would be the next city fol- | lowing San Francisco to securs the | Shriner meeting. Saratoga Springs had a pledged backi of 127 votes at Kansas Ci when ninety-eight was all that was ary to decide the matter. But when the California delegates went around among the delegates praising up San Francisco as a famous Western Mecca, Saratoga lost hope. The delegation from that city had little trouble to win its fight yesterday, the only formidable competi- tor being Dallas, Texas. When the ques- tion was put to a vote the choice of the council in favor of Saratoga was practi- | cally unanimous. The election of officers is the event of importance on to-day's programme of the Imperial Council. In accordance with the custom which has been invariably fol- | lowed by the Shriners, Imperial Deputy Potentate Henry C. Afkin of Omaha, Neb., will be elected to succeed Philip C. Shaffer in the office of imperial potentats. And in accordance with the same custom | the other officers expect to be elected to the next higher position in the following order: Imperial deputy potentate, George H. Green of Dallas, Texas; imperial chief rabban, George L. Brown of Buffalo, Y.; Imperial assistant rabban, Hem‘*I A Collins of Toronto,-Canada; imperial high priest and prophet, Alva P. Clayton of St. Joseph, Mo. For the office of imperial oriental guide, however, there will be a contest, if may be called. The Shriners do t cam- paign nor seek election to office, but mere- ly await quietly for their brethren to elect them if they see fit. There are thirty-one representatives who are eligible to be | elected to this position, and it will not be known until after the ballots are counted which of the thirty-one has been chosen. Imperial Treasurer Willlam S. Brown of Pittsburg, Pa., and Imperial Recorder Benjamin W. Rowell of Lynn, Mass., will | undoubtedly be re-elected. ‘ nec; | | Visitors Welcome. Many Shriners and their friends are availing themselves of the hospitality be- ing liberally dispensed by the Oriental Art Rooms, 332 Post street. Convenilent of location, it is a restful spot and welcome after hours of sightseeing. There one may sip a genuine cup of Mocha Coffee and puff an exhilarating Persian Narghule. The brewing and serving of coffes with the real Turkish utensils are both inter- esting and suggestive of Oriental ease and | Tuxury.
