Mr. Cornell has many recollections of
the great fire which occurred in ' San
Francisco on December 24, 1S49. At this
fire an ensine that Martin Van Buren
had made to Irrigate his estate In New
York and which had bfen brought to Cal
ifornia to be used to pump out mines,
was used. Immediately after the fire San

ED ABOVE.
This parlor will parade about 200 strong.
It will have its own band and a striking
float planned by T. J. McGowan. an en
thusiastic member of the committee. The
Lyceum Theater at 310 O'Farrell street
has been secured by this parlor as its
headquarters. It will be elaborately dec
orated, and Groth's band will render
choice music during afternoons and even
ing's.
An Interesting feature of the parade will
be the represntation of an emigrant train
with scouts, packers and pack mules
<rcssirsr tho plains in '43. headed by Cap
tain "Jack" Crawford, the poet «cout and
late chief of scouts in tho United States
army.
Chairman Unwell of the invitation com
mittee requests participation in the events
of the celebration by all pioneers who by
reason of not b»-IonKirg to the Pioneer
Society may rot have received special in
vitations. All pioneers will be made wel
come at a reception to be given by the
Native Sons in N. S. G. W. Hall on Tues
day from 1 to 6 p. m. The local soe'ety of
Pioneers with the visiting pioneers will
marcb to the reception hall in a body.
The San Jose parlors will present two
elaborate floats In the parade. One will
be In the form of a pyramid and will be
composed of fruits, wines and olive oil
contributed by merchants, -packers and
t'ne Quito farm. A second float will be in
tho form of a shell with swans, and will
carry twenty Native Daughters of San
Jose Parlor costumed to represent various
mythological characters. It will be drawn
by four black horses.
The grounds at Fort Mason at the foot
of Van Ness avenue, -where the fireworks
will be set off. are ample to accommodate
the Immense concourse of people that will
attend tho display without crowding: and
all may have an unobstructed view. Cars
of the California, Hyde, Union, Fillmore,
Polk and Butter street lines will land* pas
sengers within a reasonable distance of
the grounds.
An erroneous Impression Is abroad In
some quarters that tho fireworks displays
have been obtained from the East. It is
worthy to note, however, that all of tho
llreworks purchased by the various com
mittees for the celebration are California
made and the product of the factory of a
local company. A display will be given
that will favorably compare with the
most elaborate Eastern productions at
much less cost, and all who will atend
will feel more than repaid for their time

r~^\ AN FRANCISCO is prepared to honor the fiftieth anniversary of the statehood of Calif or
\ nia. The city is adorned as it never zvas before in its history. The streets have been con-
V J verted into avenues of gay color and light. Market street is arched with thousands of elec
tric globes, ready to shed their brilliance in the darkness of the night. Miles of green
branches, twisted into ropes of brilliant green, stretch from pole to pole along the main thorough
fare of the cit\.
Standards of flags erected upon poles zcave for miles from the ferry to where Market street
fades into the sloping hills that lead to the Twin Peaks. Business-houses throughout the city are in
gay attire for the splendid carnival. The Stars and Stripes and the Bear Flag have companion
places of honor in the elaborate, beautiful adornment which patriotic citizens have given to the town.
Last night a 'merry throng was on the streets. A great mass of people moved slowly, laugh
ingly, gayly along the thoroughfares. There arc thousands of strangers in the city, draivn from
evety part of the State. They are here to join with San Franciscans in honoring an occasion which
•will be without parallel in their history and which it is not likeiy they will see again. They arc
here to share in the multitude of festivities which the Native Sons and scores of other organiza
tions have provided. Last night they received a suggestion of the magnificent decoration which
the city has made. In an instant a brilliant flash of light shot the full length of Market street.
Thousands of electric lights, red, white and blue, blazed upon a dead background of the night. The
scene zcas inspiring in its gorgcousness of color. A roar of admiration greeted it front the thou
sands of citizens and strangers who saw in the test which had been, made' something '-of what the
completion of effects zvill be.
To-day the fete will practically begin. Business men will close . their ¦ houses, men of all
classes will cease their labors and join in the carnival. San Francisco will give itself up to fes
tivity, and the fiftieth birthday of the State will be celebrated as no event zcas ever celebrated be
fore in the metropolis. ¦
