You cannot get along without us very well and we can not get along without you. I hope that there shall be nothing in our fu- ture relations that will mar the mem- ory of the ceiebration that has marked this occasion.” The ceremonies ended with the pre- sentation of a pennant to Captain Pay- son on behalf of the school children of Berkeley. The presentation was made by little Ernest Sadler, who was dress- ed as a sailor in white duck. Master Badler was 8o overcome by the pres- ence of the great personages around him that he forgot his speech, but the words of greeting on the streamer were a sufficient message. The words were: “School children’s greetings, Berkeley, May 16, 1904.” In the meantime the band played its liveliest airs and the school children decorated the engine and cars with streamers of flowers. The streamers were hung from the windows and bunches of flowers were tied on the guard and stanchions and wherever there was a prong of any sort. The depot had already been decorated with flags and bunting and pennants and a big blue and gold sign of welcome hung over the tracks. Beneath this the train passed when at last it pulled out for Oakland. ST £ ATHLETES CONTEST.

The music of | many bands filled the air with har- and flower-bedecked carriages | mony Bicycles and automobiles were numer- ous and youth and beauty joined with stern age to welcome the pioneer Santa Fe train from New Orleans. Bunting decorated ‘buildings, flags | fluttered from poles and wires, and at |no town where the rails of the Santa Fe system touch was ever such a royal welcome given the first train that came within its precincts. Even the committees that arranged the event | were surprised at the outpouring and {the officials of the railroad were | stunned when they saw the crowds that had gathered to do them honor. The Santa Fe officials were the most | surprised of all and they repeatedly said that had they known what Oak- land was doing by way of a welcome they would have gone further than they did to decorate the train. Oaklanders were determined to make the day memorable in the his- tory of the town and they succeeded beyond the expectations of the most ardent “Booster.” There wds a regular programme, carried out with greater fidelity than is usual with such events. The various committeeme and Grand Marshal Bates and his aids all seemed to feel | that they were working on railroad time, and that while ordinary par- ades might fail to start on time, when | they were working to meet an overland train that was to arrive at a particular moment they wouwid have to be prompt. And so it was that when the Santa Fe train swept around the curve in front of the new depot on San Pablo avenue the Oakland parade was crossing the avenue and had to be halted to give the train the right of way. There were two trains that reached Oakland at the time set for the open- ing and the crowd that gathered ta give the welcome became confused. The first train was the regular, known on the timecards as No. 41, and, in order not to interfere with the reg- ular travel of the road, it was decided to send this train through on schedule time. A second train was made up and run as a speclal, carrying ex- cursionists from Martinez, Point Rich- mond and even as far as Stockton. On the rear of this was the directors’ car of the Santa Fe Company, carrying all of the general officials of the com- pany who were on the coast at the time. This train made stops at vari- ous places along the road and ar- rived in Oakland shortly after 11 o'clock, where the big demonstration was held. FLATCAR FOR COMMITTEE. At Oakland a fiatcar had been deco- rated for the wuse of the reception committee. On this car were United States Senator George C. Perkins, Mayor Warren Olney of Oakland, vari- ous members of the Oakland City Council, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, the Town Trustees of _Emeryville, President made the parade one of rare beauty. | enator Perkins Greets Newcomer-for the Governo and Mayor Olney Speaks for Oakland. of Trade, President A.

M. J. Keller, treasurer of the Oakland Board of Trade, had a few words to say as chairman of the general com- mittee. He spoke briefly a welcome to the new road and told how for years Oakland had desired a compet- ing railroad. Hg then introduced Mayor Warren Olney of Oakland, who delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the municipal communities on this side of the bay, saying: Oakland is glad to greet another trans- | continental read. and extends to you, gentle- imen as representing that road, the heartiest of welcomes, Fvery man, woman and child in Onkland is glad to see you here. In the olden times. when men and nations were not so well acquainted with one another. they fought and battled as if they were wild animals. It were asked to-day what was the greatest aid to the civilization and uniting of humanity I would say In one word, railroads. With this ald we are learning to know each other better. Therefore, We of Oakland rejoice that another transcontinental line has reached our limits. We welcome you for the material benefits you bring. A single road is better than none, but two more than double the blessing. We have never been so badly off here as were the people of the south before you came, but we lock for great good to Oakland because of your coming. GOVERNOR'S PROXY SPEAKS. United States Senator Gorge C. Perkins spoke for Governor George C. Pardee, who could not attend. The Senatot told them the Governor was detained at Sacramento and then added his words of welcome, saying: I am glad to be here to-day, but I appear only as a proxy. I came to tell you that the Governor of this State, the Hon. ge C. Pardee, your townsman, cannot attend because of offictal dutles that keep him at the Capitol. But I am glad to tell you how much this road means to the people of the State and the people of Oakland This is a great State. There are to-day but nine people to each square mile of its surface. We could make that ten times that number and still. give every person a farm that would support a family. 1 hardly belleve that citizens ap- preciate the State's resources. New sources of wealth are being discovered each day and our future 1is practically unlimited, But while we are thanking the people who made this road ble we must remember the men who did the work, the engl , firemen and conductors who handle these great trains, and to them I wish to Iift my hat as a mark of respect. 3 H. C. Capwell, president of the Oak- land Board of Trade, had this to say: This 1s a day of great promise for Oakland.

Many Vehicles Take Part in Pictur- esque Procession. OAKLAND, May 16.—The proces- sion that welcomed the first Santa Fe train was characteristic of the city. It was essentially a floral display. No | venicle of any sort was allowed in the parade that did not carry flowers as its special feature. Lilies, red roses, geraniums and every flower -that | grows were lavishly used and the out- lines of the carriages were lost in myriads of colored blooms. The procession was directed by Charles D. Bates Jr. as grand mar shal, aided by J. W. Mathews, Ray A. B. Fately, Dr. W. L. Dunn, Dr. Shannon, Dr. W. J. Smythe, A. Gard, Fred E. Blanchard and Joseph Ede- lin. The division for single horse car- riages was two blocks long and con- tained many of the prettiest displays in buggy decorating. It was directed by Marshal D. H. McLaughlin and Aids Fred T. Deickmann and Charles T. Pugh. Citizen vied with citizen to make ordinary buggies pretty, and some unique effects were obtained. Mrs. Dr. Mehrmann drove a carriage completely covered with calla lilies and greens. Several rigs of “boosters” created enthusiasm by continued cheering for Greater Oakland. Fol- lowing is the list of carriages entered in the procession: Henry A. Butters and party, West End Improvement Association, F. M. Smith, W. Havens, Dr. E. G. Brinkerhoff, Mr. and Mrs. J. 8. Emery, R. A. Archibald, Frank P. Lea, John Maxwell, Louis Schaffer, ‘William Harris, John Nicholl, Charles Butters, Ye hiberty Playhouse, W. H. Jenkins, F. F. Porter, T. J. White, H. G.
