ONE of the most interesting char
acters of the Native Sons' pa
rade to-day will be Napoleon Bo
naparte Smith, the man who
hauled down the Bea^r Flag at
Sutter Fort and who assisted In
the raising of the Stars and Stripes fur
ever over thfl territory of California. He
Is a very old man who has long passed
the allotted term of man's life, but he is
hearty and lively while bearing his
eighty-three years.
"I came down here at the urgent re
quest of the Native Sons' Committee."
saici Mr. Smith, "but I do not kr.ow
whether or l.ot they will make a monkey

founders of this great city and thought
I knew something ar>out it, bit I am lost
and thoroughly afraid to move about. It
gives me pleasure to say that I hauled
down the Bear Flag at Sutttr Fort, and
assisted in the raising of Old Glory.
"It Is not generally known that the rais
ing of the fli'g was the result of the ar

spies at the Presidio. It was a case of no

would swear that we were Unglish sub

that If the rights of American citizens
were ignored there would be genuine
trouble I crossed rhe plains in 1S15.
"The arrtst of my party was actually
what led to the organization of the now
f^rr.ous order of Native Sons. What I
mean is that the time came when there
was no consideration for the rights of Ca!
ifornians. and the consequence was that
we pulled down the I<ear Flag- of .the Cal
ifornia republic and hoisted tne Str\r3 and
Stripes. At that time Fremont nad b~en
ordered out of the country and was on
his way to Oregon, when Litutenant Gil
lesple brought the dispatch which in
formed us that war had been declared
with Mexico. Then up went the American
flusj. to stay. The rest is common history.
At the same time I look upon this city
with uncommon wonder and realize that
the future ha!f-cer tury development of
San Francisco will be even more marvfl

At Headquarters.
The Palace Hotel headquarters of the
general committee was crowded all day
yesterday by Native Sons, who called to
pay their respects to old-time acquaint
ances on the committee. There were
present all day long members of the pa
rade committee to assist Colonel Boxton,
the chief of staff, in giving information,
in regard to positions In line and telling
marshals of divisions and aids what they
are expected to do thi3 morning.
It is the intention of the grand marshal
to move immediately upon the giving of
the signal, and nil organizations not in
position it the appointed time will be
relegated to the end of the procession.
JWs variously estimated that the thirty
*«f divisions, with the numerous floats,
win take from three and a half to four
hours in passing a given point. The
grand marshal and chief of staff have in
structed the marshals to have all car
riages, excepting four, driven two abreast
so as to curtail the length of the proces
sion, and no formation will be allowed
to march in less than columns of four.
Whenever practicable all organizations
will be required to march eight abreast.
Throughout the afternoon and evening
the rooms of the Fresno Parlor, In the
Lick House, were thronged with mem
bers of the organization. Refreshments
were served without stint, ana every per
son who visited the headquarters was
made comfortable. Ninety-live members
of the organization are expected to turn
out this morning. The members will wear
white duck trousers, white silk negligee
shirts and straw sombreros. Fulton G.
Berry, familiarly known as the "Com
mordore of Fresno County," will act in
the capacity of mascot in the parade. lie
will be mounted and will be a striking
feature of the parade. George C. Roed
ir.g, v.ho stands 6 feet l'/fc inches In height,
and is built in proportion, will lead the
members on the line of march. He will un
doubtedly attract attention by reason of
the monster sombrero he will wear and
the huge cane he will twirl. The straw
sombrero is large enough to conceal a
man and the cane could be used by a
barbarian for a war club. It is fantasti
cally carved and weighs In the neighbor
hood of twenty pounds.
Reception by Sunset.
Sunset Parlor of Sacramento held a re
ception from 2 to 5 in the banquet hall of
the Lick House. A grand ball will be
given by Its members to-morrow night
nnd It promises to be a very exclusive af
fair. Invitations have be«*n sent to a se

WHERE THE GLAD

At the conclusion of General Barnes'
address the Golden Gate Park band
struck up the familiar "Star? and
Stripes." The selection proved a fitting
one for the moment, for tho pulse of the
vast throng was at a high tension of en
tnusiasm, and it prepared the way for
what was to follow, an overture, "Immor
tality." dedicated to Mr. Spreckels by A.
Fpadlna. The piece ended with the "Star

every man with raised hat to his feet.

California Parlor No. 1 had a rush of
visitors yesterday afternoon in its beauti
ful quarters in the Palace Hotel, who were
entertained with a musieale. During the
afternoon the. parlor was the recipient of
two beautiful tloral pieces. In the even
ing it was not a rush, but a crush. So
great was the number of ladies and gen
tlemen who called that it was found nec
essary to close the door against the num
ber of people who crowded the long cor
ridor, then form them into line and allow
as many to enter by one door as passed
out through another. This parlor has
opened a register on which all who visit
are requested to place their autographs.
