'I he day was delightful, and all that could lit' di'sireU for the success of tho gorgeous pageant, a genial sun, a cloudless sky and a crat.ful breeze addiug to its success aud pleasuie. MUSIC AXD ENTHUSIASM. Early in the morning the streets began to assume their busy appearance of the pre vious evening, and music was heard every where, giving notice of preparation for the grand parade. Every point of vantage was eagerly seized; store windows wore clear' d of their customary dressing, and instead were occupied by little family groups. Ex pressmen lined the route taken by the pro cession with their wagons, which had been transformed into temporary stands with seals, selling at high prices. So eager were people to bo certain of a fa voiable position that not an available spot was unoccupied at 9 o'clock, and all waited through the hours with patience for the first flourish of military music that would an nounce the approach of the cavalcade. As Die appointed time for starting approached, the different societies marching with bands to the rendezvous near tho water front intensified the expectancy and enthus iasm of the throngs which by that time were upon the streets. WITHOUT A HITCn. The various subordinate divisions dropped into line in their own places, aud when Grand Marshal Tilden gave the order to move at 10:20 o'clock the huge cavalcade advanced up Market street without a hitch, each separate society taking its assigned position witii re markable precision, and forming the grand column which Impressed the thousands of spectators with the perfection of the arrange ments. The formation was admirable for Bin h an immense body of men, fully 18,000 of whom were in the par.'.de. A JJItILLIAXT PBOCESSIOX. The procession as well as containing Eights which are looked for in every demon stration in this city was otherwise brilliant in coloring, novel In many features and as highly varied as the imagination could con ceive. There were rer>»<>«»:;t!>ti yes of many nation to' be seen, mingling iiiei. n.'gs in' the broad atmosphere of the free with the American banner. French and German companies were I together,'?; United ", States The Morning Call. N.S.G.W troops and the National Guard near each other, and Native Sons from Los Angeles were next to the parlor from Grass Valley, up in the Sierras. FLOATS AXD BEAKS. The floats, the tears, the suggestive rep resentations of the days of gold, the display of old relies, which were real curiosities, all combined with the impressive appe.irance of the Native Sons to nuke the magnificent spectacle doubly interesting. On the whole, it was a happy termination of the elaborate preparations by the young Californians and Pioneers. The glittering uniforms, mag nificent banners and bright, showy costumes ARCH OE WELCOME (EAST SIDE). of the Native Sons made a brilliant spec tacle, which created entliusiasm along the line of march. UTKBABT AJTO SOCIAL. In the afternoon about 3 o'clock the liter ary exercises were began in the Grand Opera House in the presence of an immense audience. Addresses were delivered by Grand President Miller, X. S. G. W., Mayor Pond, Henry E. Hightou of tho Pioneer So ciety, Mrs. C. S. Baker, N. D. G. \V., and James I. BoUnd, Grand Orator of the Na tive Sons. The musical programme was of a hitch standard an 1 in keeping with the remainder of the celebration. A grand ball was given at night in the Mechanics' Pavilion, which was crowded to excess by the thousands of strangers aud city folks. At the same time a brilliant display of fireworks was given at Sixteenth and Fol som streets. Set pieces illustrating phases of California's history and of familiar old faces were produced, and the beautiful ef fects of dazzling lights ami fiery ornaments created the wildest applause. THE GORGEOUS PACKASr. It Advances With a Flourish of Stirring Strains. When the cavalcade moved forward on its long route through the principal thorough fares, Chief of Police Crowley was at its head. Beside him rode Police Captain Short, like the Chief in dress uni form, and following them was a platoon of mounted officers. TliePiirk Band was next in order, and immediately after it a drum corps, which preserved a triaii (,Mi- 1 1 r figure in march ing The Grand Mar shal. Charles L.

The United States troops headed the first division an.l passed over the rough cobbles with a smoothness that caused applause. Their appearance was the signal for plaudits as they moved along in steady order, never deviating from the requirements of military discipline. They "dressed op™ so sprucely . and car ried such shining aecoutertneats, or escorted Buchglitterinfijtield-pieoes, that those people who had a chance to see Uncle Sam's boys intuitively felt that the army was always ready at the country's calL Next'to them were California's boys in blue, who, though their accouterments were not so perfect in pattern ns the regular army's, made ■ creditable showing mid lost nothing by the constrast. It was a subject for frequent remark, the large numbers of the National Guard in the rank". The San Francisco Huzzars occupied the next rank. They appeared to good advan tage on horseback, riding four abreast, un der command of Ca: tain Kane. Then the exclamation was hoard, "See, there's Governor Waterman." Tha State's Chief Executive sat in a carriage and was escorted by bis staff in uniform. FEATURES OF Till: TAKADE. A striking contrast was the picturesque cowboys, who followed on horseback and formed i ne. nf the features of the proces sion. Til- beautiful floats, bands of Cali fnruiau Indians, prairie schooners drawn by oxen anil mules, some bearing the words " Old Missouri"," "Bound to California or Bust," and smi!ar characteristic inscrip tions of old-time scenes, were the most essentially Western features presented. Yet tho bears must have felt very proud as they viewed the hosts worshiping their emblem wherever they turned. Then the Pioneers were present in number* which indicated ihat the Californian climate was kindly toward them, and tlieir presence suggested a connection between the days of Forty-nine and tins present, which was full well represented by the manly Native Sons. Carriages were driven in double rows, thus saving time, as the number of vehicles in line was very great. * Wagonettes and con veyances of all kinds from Sacramento, Stockton, Oakland, San Jose and neighbor ing towns carried the Pioneers, Without the Veteran Firemen anil the Exempt?, with their '•baby one" and their old "ina'hci n," the parade could not have been held— that is, in tho opinion of many San Franciscans; and they were out with as much display as ever. NATIVE SONS. Two platoons of police, all big, stalwart Native Suns, marched under command of Captain Douglas*. They wore the badges of their parlors and received repeated appiause. Then followed the Native Sous themselves, their exquisite 'liners glittering in tin bright sunlight, and their novel and piclur- esqtie costumes earning tbe admiration of the onlookers. Tlie personnel of the young men was ex cellent. It bespoke great tilings for the Slate that gave them birth, while giving tes timony of California's advancement and wealth. They carried with them an air of robust health, these sturdy young sons of pkmeors, nnd they were all well-dressed and iv their behavior gentlemen. To mako distinctions among the parlors would be ililli "iilt. ij"' to f>penk of the pro priety of doing so. Each one seemed the best while it passeJ. iSotne, however, intro duced novel ideas into the celebration. Mis sion Parlor w a.s distinguished by Japanese umbrellas and the singular noise produced by striking the handles against canes which the members carried. County parlors were "in it," as the boys exclaimed. The ma neuveringof the drill corDS-wits cna t>f the prettiest iratures oi the parade, | NOVEL A>*D HUMOROUS. The humorous side of things was not neg lected by the natives. ( One funny son roUo a donkey, which he carefully announced by means of placards was not a bear." The Napa boys had the coat they rodo at initia tions. 'I, ijWlMll^lllJliiiilitH'iti'lH'* ■ ' M!* • There were many novelties, too, among the parlors. One parlor had (ranges on the canes of its members, another a tiny pick and shovel, and Oakland had the earth— in flowers upon a big globe. ■ Riucon Parlor, which created consider able favorable comment by its substantial and respectable appearance, is composed almost wholly of mechanics. It members wore dark blue cloth coats and pantaloons with white facings, white vests aud pretty caps. The Veteran Guard of . the G. A. R. ap peared in uniform and acted as an escort to the San Jose visitors. sws?- '-| Toward the end were the Young Men Institute, delegation, A. O. F., French Zouaves, German Rifles, .; Austrian and Italian independent companies, Coast Sea men's Union in characteristic uniform with their ship and the .Steamship Stevedores. The cavalcade was closed ' up by citizens in carriages. The parade took just three hours to pass a given point, and the stops and breaks were almost Imperceptible. -■ ■ • FIRST DIVISION. A Strlkloc Farnile uf the Federal and Still- Soldiery. The first division was composed ex clusively of the military— and also that portion of the Second Brigade, N. G. C, whoso companies are located in this city, CJIARLES U TILUEN, Graiul Marshal. with the exception of one consolidated com pany of infantry formed of volunteers from Companies A and V of the Fifth Regi ment stationed at Oakland, and of coupe also Company C of the Thild, which paraded, however, with the battalion to which it is attached. The military acted as escort to Brigadii-r-Geueral John Gibbo 1 ). commanding the Division of the Pacific, and to his Excellency Governor R. W. Water man, the city officials and invited uueus. The regulars were not numerically as strong as they uilpht have been, nor was the Second Brigade, N. G. C. : but the members of the. latler had been Riven special permis sion to paiadu with their parlors and few indeed that did not avail themselves of the privilege. The fear expressed in certain uninformed quarters that the brigade would be so decimated for this reason that the parade would not be a creditable one proved to be based on very slight foundation, for, as a matter of fact, a better showing was made, with the exception of one battalion, than on the parade on the. national Holiday. The National Guardsmen who paraded with their parlors represented about 25 per cent of the whole number that would under other circumstances havo paraded with their com pan The band of the First Infantry Reuimei.', U. 8. A., headed the detachment of Federal troops, commanded by Colonel I VV. K. >>h,.i. ter, tirst Infantry. The detachment com prised a battalion of eight companies of the First Infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel J. S. Casey; a battalion of Light batteries D and F of the Fifth Artillery, under Major B. 11. Kinzie, and a battalion of troops I and X of the Fourth Cavalry, under Lieu tenant-Colonel Alison Mills. Ail along the line the populace drew comparisons between the professional and the citizen soldiery, and not always to the disfavor of the State's troops. In fact owing to the youthful ap pearance of their line officers the regulars were frequently mistaken for the brigade. In the matter of uniforms there v.as no distinguishing mark; in the setup of the in.'ii and in the way they carried their pieces there was, of course, to the soldierly eye; but to the average civilian this was not so apparent. The regulars were bronz d by the sun after their recent summer encamp ment of two mouths, and the State's soldiers were tauned after their equally as recent camp at Santa Cruz. Ti.e one marched on unaccustomed around; the other on its na tive heath, ana the obstacle* which impeded th:< stead; match and correct alignment of the professional counterbalanced the short comings of the amateur. Another band of music and next cam? Hie cavalcade of Hrl«adier-Gen»r.il John T. Cutting, commanding the Second Brigade, K. G. C, and accompanied by his stHff. Each of the three battalions had its band, though th« Second Artillery was not with its own baud music. The Brigade Signal Corps never made a better appearance. The battalions were not In their accustomed places in line, but marched in the order of the rank of the field officer in command, SO that the Third Infantry, under command of Colonel Thomas F. Barry, bad the right of line, the First, under Lieutenant-Colonel S. J. Taylor, the renter, and the Second Artillery, under Major D.Geary, the f left, with the Ligtt Battery, Captain 11. T. Situ', mid the S. F. Hussars, Captain C. C. Keene, the ex treme left. The Oakland company of the Fifth wedged itself iv some unaccountable way between Company (1 and the Cadets on the left of the First Infantry, but their pres ence was welcome notwithstanding. The Third and First made a good show ing in point of numbers, which made the small turnout of the Second all the more noticeable. There were probably some 1900 in the division. After the brigade came in carriages Governor Waterman accompanied by Brigadier-Gencralß.il. Orton, A. G., Colonel Perrie Kewen, A. A. G., and tho members of the Governor's staff. General Gibbon. U. S. A., followed with the follow ing staff: Colonels George 1). Ruuginv B. Norris, J. U. Hawkins, G. 11. Burton, I. D. de Bossy, B. J. D. Irwin, Majors J. 1). Rodger*. F. M. Coxa E. Hunter, G. F. Rob inson, thins C. A. Booth, G. A. Hull, ,C. A. Woodruff, Lieutenants J. K. Runcie, A. E. Newcomer and L. A; Loveny. There weie also tho following invited guests in carriages: United States Circuit Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, Chief Justice Beatty of the Supremo Court of California, and Justice Shi rpsteln. Mayor Pond, Colin M. Boyd, Collector of the Port T. G. l'hel|'S, Surveyor of tha Port Paris Kilburn, Post master Samuel Backus, United Stales Sur veyor-General W. A. Pratt, Theodora Reich ert, State Controller John P. Dunn, tha 80-ird of Supervisors, D. A. McKinlev, Con sul-General of the Hawaiian Islands; F. llerera, Consul-General ;of Nicaragua;, A. E. Roberts Consul-General of Venezuela; Ira G. « lloitt. State Superintendent of Schools: J. D. Sp.-ncer, Clerk of th.t Su preme Court; Ad,im Herold, State Treas urer, and W. C. Heudiicks, Secretary of State. . Officers of the General Admission Day Celebration Committee of th« Native Sons,' riding in a handsome carriage, drawn by four black horses, brought up the rear of the division. General Chairman Chamberlain' was distinguished by a maroon and gold sash, General Vice-Cliairman ICatsoa wore maroon and white, General Secretary Doo-; lan maroon and blue, General Treasurer Dockery maroon and red, and General As sistant Secretary , dv Py maroon and ; Nile green. The military was oftentimes closely pressed for space to march on Marke: street, and tiie attempted division formations ha 1 to be abandoned for the column of platoons, which later were not always equalized. The review was practically' abandoned, the pop ulace having taken such complete posses sion of the thoroughfare as to leave from Van Ness avenue to Third street on tho countermarch not moro room than to per mit of the passage of two columns of fours, one out and the other nu the return. On the march out by platoons, sets of fours on the left had almost constantly to inarch in thn rear, so determined ivai the populace to maintain the vantage ground which it had gained. Nor was the populace backward in applauding good inarching and wheeling, or manifesting signs of disapproval when the reverse was exhibited. SECOND DIVISION. The Day* of Old,' the D«j« of Gold, the Da»» of '49. ' •' All •' the divisions resting on East, Steuart and Spear streets appeared to be mixed up in such inextricable confusion at 10 o'clock that it did look us if It would have been im possible to ■ unravel the tangle,' and *' yet, when -at 10:30 o'clock word was given for , the division ■to ' move. the whole tangled mess : unwound itsell and moved off in order. '. This division was headed by Marshal E. B. reeland and his aids, E. A. Sherman and John 11. Coryell. The massing of the cars at the foot of Market street, with the vast crowd that tilled every space, made it look for a while as if some of the floats and engines would have to take a round-about track and fall into line further along, but. the police arrangements soon dispelled that difficulty. The crowd was cle ared, and the cars brought as close together as possible and the ; float entitled '.'California— lß4U" swung round into the street without doiug damage to the cars or to any one. r -.' ,-■ "California— was emblematic of the condition and appearance, of the, country be fore the discovery of gold. An Indian lodge or tepee was erected on Hie platform of the wagon,- around which a number of Indians were seated. The country was represented as being rough and broken. The braves smoked- their pipes and the papooses en joyed themselves, while the women were en gaged in domestic pursuits. Hanging con spicuously around were implement* of sav age warfare and the chase, but no piano or ' lace curtains could be seen. It was a sight t;iat brought back | yean of recollection to the men whose hair and beards were white, some of whom looked as if they would have liked very much to have taken a backward step of forty-five years, and gone out hunt ing these same redskins. " lloorah, here we are, all the way to Call-' , tony," and around the turn came the same old wagon that was used by Adam in the Garden of Eden to haul apples in, and which he afterward swappeJ off to a Connecticut Yankee who wanted to cross the pains in '49, for a Barlow jack-knife and a " bar'l of apple Bass." It was drawn by a yoke of cattle, and from holes punched in the cover the beads of Samantha and tho kids pro truded, Samantha smoking a corn-cob pine. "Jedcdiah was keeping his eye out all the time for a place where there was plenty of wood.and water to camp. lie found it. The wagon cover was of itself a curiosity. Old, buttered, torn, the old legend " Bound for California, 1849," stool out in bold relief, 'reminding one of the Ancient Mariner, or the hieroglyphics on Cleopatra's Needle. . There was a considerable train of those who awakened memories Of California when there was .1 "man for breakfast" every morning. The Mexican cairata, mule teams, mounted plainsmen and cowuovs, a very small burro carrying a very large man, labeled "The Pony Express," the man be ing "Old Chips." There was a float repre senting ibiuers at work. Some were using the pick, some shovel?, and others with an old-fashioned rocker or cradle. "Old Bach" Adams, as Captain Adams of Calaveras County is called, was there with his whole mining outfit. Another float represented a miners' cabin on Saturday nieht. The wash ing was hung out on a lino to dry, while the miners were sluing on three-lagged stools or on the ground : some, reading letters from home, some writing to them they had left behind, some playing old sledge to see who should go for the mail, do the caokiug or go for the mail next week, and all were smok ing their pipes, that emblem of civilization and refinement that not all the live-centers in the world can do - away with. ; Captain. Henry A. Dana "aided" - this train to liud "wood, water, and grass" As red was the fashionable color in those days, the red shirt "held the aidge." Next came the heroes of Monterey, Che puitapec, Besaca de la Palma, the Rio Grande and Mexico, the veterans of the Mexican war; men with grizzled beards ami furrowed (aces, who had kicked "old age" behind them, and were boys once mure. They rode in carriages and were marshaled by W. G. Lee. Following them were Colonel Stevenson's command of California Volunteers and the Society of Pioneers, led by President Montgomery. As they passed the corner of Stmiart street they were saluted by twenty-live " boys in blue," Na tive Sons under command 01 that youngster Captain W. Y. Douglass, who, with hU breast covered with badzes, and his teeth glistening in the sun's rays like two rows of • ivory, sang ! out " Here, come down out of that, you young fellows, and walk," and then everybody roared with laughter. The JCniifclin Isn't a day over eighty, if that, and his ■ fun aud ; frivolity must be attributed to ' his extreme youth, ami ilia fact that he is just in from the country. , Just let us run this gang ahead as fast as possible, or, as Captain Douglass said, "double them up," so as to make room ' for the others. The carriage procession at this point contained the senior members of ; the California Pioaeers, the Society of Ter ', I rit irial Pioneers and the visiting Pioneer ' i societies, marshaled by Dixie W. Thompson ; and his aids, W. C. Hendrickson and J. D. I Callashan, followed by the Junior Pioneers. ' Then came two floats, emblematical of ag ! riculture and horticulture la 1890, on which ' ■ were displayed in profusion the products of the orchard, the vineyard and the field, with : Joseph Figel as special aid and the French baud. The Pioneer Division of the Fire Department followed, drawing a little pocket ■ edition of an engine so ancient in its make up that antiquarians have, vainly endeavored to ascertain its origin. Here was a chance for Captain Douglass to fire another shot, "1 say, you fellows, there. Why don't you pick the little thing up and carry It In your pockets, and not be dragging it I through the streets in tint way?" And here came in another roar of laughter. An old fossil, who has escaped from the giave by means of some underground rail , road,' says that this little engine » at built in New York in 1820, before Cornell Ander son was Chief Engineer of the New York Hire Department, and was brought to Cali fornia m 1849, possibly to be used for hydraulickiug purposes. No one has ever found out yet lii • actual purpose for which it was built. '-.' :..'.. Following came the Exempt eneine/'yne of the latest patterns of the steam tire en glnts, a model hose " carriage, the, new. ! chemical engine and water tower, the Under writers* Fire Patrol, under loinuiaud of Captain Russell J. White, the tire patrol wagon, veteran and vi-iting firemen and Bruhn'sliaud. The remainder of the .sec ond division was composed . of the grand officers and Past Grand Presidents of the Native Sons of the Golden West in car riages, with William H. Miller, Grand President, air! parlors of the Native Sons on foot The handling of the division was superb, and. as it progressed along the line or match, it was cheered aud pelted with bouquets and flnral emblems. It was cov ered with bunting an.l with glory. ■ TBIBJD DIVISION. Captain DougUa*' Native Sum and Round Valley Indians. In the third division Captain Douglass felt that it was the proudest day in . his youthful experience, as he marched liis twen ty-four blue-coated Native Sons Into position' at the head of the column. There was no more j6king and laughing then. The stento rian voice with which he called out "Atten tion." made the dock in the tower of the ferry-house put both hands before its face, i and it. almost became an alarm-clock. "•' "For ward-inarch," and as the twenty-four feet fell together upon the Belgian pavement the echo give back a sound as of but one foot fall, and that too the foot of a Titan. It was no wonder, for the Captain's breast bore the badge of every parlor in the State. " John E. McDougall, splendidly mounted and looking "for all the word like a cen tury, as one man had it, (be probably meant centaur) led the division, aided by Louis Freer and W. c Keith. The California Drill Corps, dressed in dark blue uniforms, relieved by white, trimmings, their heads surmounted by helmets and red plumes, acted as escort to California Parlor, No. 1, which carried a magnificent banner. This parlor had every reason to feel proud of the recognition received along the route, for it was cheered from every window anJ house top, while flowers were showere 1 by fair bauds until it looked as if Captain Douglass ; would have to make use of his contingent to clear the way. There was one feature of the parlor's parade that called forth as many queries as 'liik Call's Query Column, or Bantam's " What is it." .'•■-.. It was a banner made up of small banners of the : various parlors, , so arranged as to make one large one. ; The effect was strik ingly novel, and it looked very handsome, notwithstanding its oddity. :, A ; float pre ceded San Francisco Parlor, in which, under : a canopy, sat a Native Daughter, looking gorgeously beautiful. < A Native Son stood guard by her and kept at bay a cinnamon < bear, who, being al-o a . Native < Son, ; ap peared to think that the entertainment was arranged for his special benefit, and that the young lady was a toothful morsel for a lunch. It required pretty stringent argu .ment at limns to convince him to the con l trary. Another float In this division was filled with Native Sons and Daughters, sur rounded by : all kinds of products of the State. ::?:■-.,- v; : ;.-. .:-- ; -.. ■ .; ■ :u: ; - -V* ; '•; Preceding these floats, the members ;of j California • Parlor, clad in gray, with gray felt - hats, white gashes , and ■' white : duck gaiters, marched. Marysvllle Parlor. No. 6, in brown uniform, | and PlacerviUe I Parlor, . No. 9, in old gold, came I next. Sacramento Parlor, No. 3, with flags '•• and banners, con tinued the line. ■ Then came Bedding Par lor, and with " them • sixteen : real -: Indians, from'-..' the : Round -\ alley ■„'■ Reservation, painted ■ and adorned - with feathers \ and wearing tlieir festal toggery, The cut of their garments was enough to mako a tash ionablo tailor turn green with envy. Noth ing but a Kodak could reproduce it. Following enme oilier visiting parlor 3. Sunset, No. 20; Elk Grove. No. 41; Granite, No. S3; Conrtland, No. 100; Argonaut, No. 8; Chito, No. 21; Auburn, No. 50; Silver Star, No. 03, ami Sierra, No. Bj, all dressed in tlinir own distinctive uniforms, adopted for the occasion, and some, if not all of them, strikingly handsome. This divisiou had no reason to com plain of Kick of music, with four bands accompanying it. Placer ville Parlor was particularly happy in the possession of a magnificent banner, the gift of thn Native Daughters of El Dorado County. The material was white silk, trimmed with cold bullion, and on it was painted a shield with the arms of California and the motlo of the State, "Eureka," on one side, and on the other a miner as he appeared in the good old days of yore. The reverse was a handsome picture of Colomn Valley in oil colors. The boys felt specially proui of this mark of favor from tlio hands of their fair sishTs, and allowed no euvious breeze to fold its beauties from the gtze of tho crowd. FOUItTH DIVISION. Reminders of tho Uufortunate Dormer l"»rt r . Marshal E. D. McCabe, with aids A. J. Pedlar and George T. Poultuey, performed effeetivu work in bringing their fourth di vision into line out of Spear street Stock tou Parlor, No. 7, led the van with the music of a band brought down from tlieir own city. There was one feature of this division that awakened old memories the reverse of pleasant. Them are but few survtvors of the unforiunateDonner party, but there are thou sands who have shed silent tears over the sufferings and deaths of many of that ill fated expedition. At the Lick House were two ladies whose hearts undoubtedly beat wildly as they passed. One was Mrs. A. J. Grayson of St. Helena and the other Mrs. Frank Lewis of Capitola, both of them sur vivors of that terrible time, tho latter hay ing, before her marriage, been Miss Mattie Reed, the daughter of the Mr. Reed whose terrible sufferings aud death are narrated in "The Annals of California" and the writ ings of the historian Hittcl, and who. while a child, was so miraculously preserved. These ladies bad an opportunity of seeing in this division, riding in ono of the car ries, Daniel Rhoads of Livennore, who acted such a prominent tart in the rescue of the survivors of the Dormer party, and with him sat Mrs. Mary A. Clark and Mrs. Francis Wilder, two ladies, who as children were among the rescued at that time. In the same carriage with them sat George W. Williams, ','iie of the original Bear flag ARCH OF WELCOME (WEST SIDEJ. party, who torn his red shirt up in order to make a frinee for the flag of the "Republic of California." On the seat alongside of tho driver sat Cuthbert Biirt-11, who accom panied Fremont in one of his expedition.". "A thoroughly historical carriage-load," says one, and lir is right. The fact is, the fourth division, clear through, was not lacking in interest.
