A, | were guests of honor at the annual ban- | quet of the First Battallon of Artillery, | National Guard of California, at the Cali- | fornia Hotel last evening. The banquet was military in its character. The chief executive of the State was the only per- son who sat at the round table who was not in full regimentals. | The table was set in the parlors of the | hotel, which were very beautifully dec- orated for the occasion. The walls were covered with bunting and flags. The regi- | mental flags formed a background for the toastmaster, Major H. P. Bush, and the distinguished guests. Stands of arms,| drums, canteens and other war accoutre- ments were used to advantage in the dec- orations. Smilax and potted plants added | to the Xeneral effect. After partaking of an excellent repast speeches were the order of the evening. | As toastmaster Major Bush was in his element.
