The dem- onstration began with a parade that started from the Palace Hotel a little after 8§ o'clock, when Queen Marguerite Alexander, chosen from the James G. Blaine Circle, accompanied by her court, followed the: escort of malds of honor. In the wake of the dueen’s retinue came the floats and heralds, the chil- dren of the court and the members of the order. The queen arrived at the grounds about 9§ o'clock. The corona- tion ceremopy was then performed. Following that came speeches by Grand Chief Ranger John H. Foley, Past Grand Chief Ranger Senator E.1 Wolfe and Master of Ceremonies Daniel Teare. Mayor Schmitz was expected but failed to appear. After the speeches Lackenbach’'s band played while acrobats performed gyrations be- fore the throne chair. The crowd which packed the in- closure surged forward and back, visit- ing the various shows and booths of refreshment and games of chance. All seemed to be enjoying themselves and the voices of the sideshow barkers, the hum of the crowd and the reports of fireworks gave the scene an added life. Among ithe shows the one deserving special mention was the stadium, where Fraviolo loops the loop inclosed within a small ball, and Mangels makes a 110~ foot dive. The living art studies were also good and liberally patronized. Among the others were the ghost show, electric theater, old plantation, glass- blowers, Jay circus, Lilliputian Opera Company, Cave of the Winds, Russian theater, Adalla the wild man, Great Lami, Dora, evening in Hawail, human magnet and vaudeville. All received a good share of the patronage. Annexed to the main part of the fair was the midway, where popcorn, pea- nuts and circus lemonade was being rapidly disposed of and where for a few pennies one might win anything from a horse and buggy to a phonograph. There was little disorder, and the po- lice promptly suppressed any exhibition of hoodlumism. The committee expects @ large attendance throughout the eight days of the fair. The programme will be different each afternoon and night, and special features, such as daylight fireworks, will attract large crowds. To-day promises to be a big day. The executive committee having the affair in charge is composed as follows: Joseph Gallagher, chairman; D. Teare, H. R. 8imon, E. R. Zion, J. Gorfinkel, C. Heyden, R. Steinman, Max Baruth, Thomas J. Emery, J. Label, F. Pink- ham, Willlam McDowell, D. P. Casey, R. E. Hancock and T. F. Gibbons. ——————— “Billiger,” exclaimed Mrs. McSwat, ‘“you are not going away without mending your broken lock on the front door, are vou? Anybody could open it and come right in!” ‘O, Lobelia, Lobelia! Nobody'll come to steal ~e!” he hummed, and out he went, whistling the latest popular air.

LIGHTING BIDS IRE REDUCED ‘Gas Company Agrees to Fur- nish Illumination for the Amount of Appropriation USSR e The San Francisco Gas and Electric Company sept a communication yes- terday to the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors, in which it agrees to light the streets and public buildings during the next fiscal year for the $320,000 appropriated in the budget, notwith- standing that its bids filled with the board last Monday amount to $350,- 000. The communication says: “Last year under drastic competition you received bids as low as 37% cents per thousand feet for gas and .e&” per ‘KWH' far electric current. Even with these unprofitable rates the city requirements would have amounted to over $315,000. In the hope of in- ducing larger future appropriations, and to assist the various committees in proving the value of every night lighting to the city, a blanket contraect was made for the sum of $300,000. That contract. was not and should not be considered a basic rate for future contracts. “In the budget recently presented $320,000 has been allotted for lighting, which is approximately $30,000 less than the proposed service to the city would cost at low rates. In the de- sire, however, to preserve the good relations which have hitherto existed and which we hope to maintain, with the hope that our corporation will be- come a’ beneficial factor in the life of the city, and with the belief that future appropriations will afford more adequate compensation for the ser- vices rendered, I am authorized by my directors to agree for the above-men- tioned sum of $320,000, payable in monthly installments of $25,666 66— “First, to supply all the gas and elec- tricity needed for every night lighting and other municipal purposes, as un- der our present contract with the city, but not to include the lighting of pub- llc libraries nor the furnishing of motor power:; second, to install fifty additional arc lights and one hundred additional Welsbach lamps, making a total of 5235 Welsbach lamps and 1062 are lights. “The above to be furnished for the year commencing July 1, 1904, and ending June 30, 1905. The installation of the new gas lamps is to begin with- in ten days after we shall have been furnished with a list of the locations, and to be made at the rate of at least fifteen per week. All gas lamps are to be installed where we now have mains, and reasonable discretion is to be exercised in the location of the additional arc lamps. “The installation of the proposed 150 extra lights will cost this company approximately $20,000, which, al- though a capital expenditure, is one that necessarily carries a large annual replacement and depreciation charge, which may reasonably be put at §4000 per year.”
