Night Is Turned Into Day by ‘ Lights. ELDOM have the thoroughfares of San Francisco been more resplen- dent than last night From the Ferry to far out on the main thoroughfare incandescent light made a canopy of fire that turned night into day. Such a scene of brilliance has rarely been witnessed In San Fran- cisco. The flluminations in homor of the return of the First California Regiment and the coming of the two Presidents were surpassed by the decorations in hon- or of the twenty-five thousand visitors who now crowd the city. The visitors that have attended en- campments in other large cities wers as- tonjshed by the magnitude of the decora- tions. They marveled at the skill of the deeorators and the execution of their de- signs, and their superlatives failed them when expressing their surprise and pleas- ure at the remarkable scene Troops to March | in Splendid HArray.
