SAN FRANCISCANS REMEMBER THE SPIRIT OF '76 BIG CELEBRATION /HELD IN MISSION \u25a0Crowd of 12,000 Throngs Play f ground and Gives Vent to -:"•/\u25a0 Its Enthusiasm Mayor Commends Residents of District for Progressiveness in Founding Park More than 12,000 persons; of the Mis sion district attended the celebration at the Mission playground in Dolores street between Eighteenth and Nine teenth. The gentle slope on the south and west part of the park was crowded vith men, women and children, who, with the exception of those forming the rear row, were seated on the grass in a position which afforded all an admirable view of the platform, on which the exercises were held. On this were seated the following, who have been exceedingly active in se curing this beautiful park and play ground for the little ones: H. J. McCoy, president of the play ground commission; Rev. Father D. O. Crowlry, Eustace Cullinan, David J. Albcrga. Frederick Meyer, George Wal com. Supervisor Oscar Hocks, A. B. Maeuire, F- J. Churchill and A. P. Van I>u«er. I»RIEST COMMENDS LOYALTY Just before the first number on the program Father Crowley, his kindly face illuminated with a smile, looked at the vast assemblage before him, the women 3n varicolored dresses and an immense number of children in the foreground, remarked: "What a beau tiful and picturesque living picture this Is. The gathering speaks well for the people of this district, who in such numbers have neglected opportunities to go to other entertainments in order to prove their loyalty to this district." The president of the playgrounds commission in a few words in which he introduced the Rev. Father Crowley as chairman of the day said that he was delighted to see so many children as sembled, declaring that children are of the greatest value to the community and that too much can not be done for them. San Francisco, he said, has promised them much, has done much and will do much for them, and as as San Francisco has never broken a promise the children will have the finest playgrounds in the whole country. He then presented the chairman, who was received with prolonged cheers and loud hand clapping. i lIAIKMAX PRAISES PARK The chairman announced that he did not desire to make a speech, but could not forego the opportunity to return thanks for the beautiful park and playgrounds and to thank those who had been instrumental in bringing this about. "The people of this district needed a park," said he, "and through the Mis sion improvement club and those who preceded them it was secured, and let me say that the good women of the Mission did much to bring about this result." The orchestra, after playing a medley of patriotic airs, commenced "The Star Spangled Banner." and the vast audi ence arose, the men remaining uncov ered until the wind wafted away the last strains of the national anthem. Eustace Cullinan delivered a short oration full of patriotic utterances and dwelt particularly on the duty of the rising; generation in the line of good citizenship, urging the young people to study well the principles of those who made this great republic possible and to live up to them so that they might be an honor to the city, state and nation. Mme. Tojetti e&ng "The Star Span srle<s Banner" and. while ahe was sing ing, curtains at the rear of the plat form were drawn and there was pre sented to view a magnificent tableaux entitled "The Mission Dolores." A view of the old mission made up the background, while over an elevation on which was seated a young girl rep resenting California under a large mis sion bell of eschscholtzias entwined with garlands. In front and on either plde were groupings of young children in national costume typical of the cos mopolitan character of the city's popu lation. CHIRCHIIX READS DECLARATION Frederick J. Churchill, secretary of the Mission improvement club, read the major portion of the declaration of in dependence and, as he reached the clos ing paragraph he was interrupted by the arrival of an automobile contain ing Mayor P. H. McCarthy and mem bers of his family. His appearance was greeted with loud cheers and, after being introduced, he spoke from the auto. He said: • "To see so many persons, and par ticuluarly so many children here, makes me feel good and in a great measure assuages the pain I have suffered In the east and on my way here. "It is very pleasant to look into your childish faces and hear your childish yokes. This outing on the nation's birthday augurs well for the Mission. This beautiful park is but one of a j !-*ln of parks and playgrounds that :ijß city will provide for recreation for v^e older people and for the pleasure of the little ones. You of this dis trict have much for which to thank that matchless man who has taken such a deep Interest in your welfare. Rev. Father Crowley. I want to as sure you that I i«hall do all in my power* to promote playgrounds for all parts of the city." Laura "A. Cotton rendered "Let Me Like a Soldier Die," from "Maritani," and was loudly applauded. I RGBS LOCAL PATROXAGB . D. J. Alberga delivered a short ad dress on home industry, urged the people of the Mission to patronize all that is produced there and declared that one of the productions of the territory Is the children, which, if seen by Teddy Roosevelt, would induce him to change his views on race suicide. Supervisor Hocks and A. P. Van l»uzer made very short talks on pa triotic lines, after which the remain der of the program was carried out up follows: ' Dance, "Pride of the Navy." E. O"l>eary, E. O'Connor, E. Printy, J. Lynch. W« Epence; wand drill, b6ys' class, Mission turn verein; music by the band; fancy steps and dancing. xirls' class; music by the band; dance, •Yankee Doodle." Agnes O'Leary; gym nastic exhibition, men's class; "Amer ica." While the band was playing, slow music as the men's class was perform ing some one announced that "Johnson won in 14 rounds" and the band leader, hearing a word or two, forgot that he wan leading musicians, made a ruEh. cornet in hand, for the speaker and Mfkp-1, "What's that? "What's that?" When he was told he returned to his leadership. In a few moments the cry of "Extra" by newsboys was heard in the lower end of the park and thousands made a rush to read of the, fight.. One man in the crowd had a \u25a0 copy of a paper, on the final page of which was the announcement in large black type "Jeff wins" and underneath was a portrait of Jeffries. "Hov.-'s this?"', asked another man in the crowd and he opened a copy of the same paper, on which appeared In the same size type "Jack wins" with a portrait of Johnson. The two men held the papers side by side, looked at each other and one of them said, "You paid your money; I paid mine. We can take our choice." In the evening there was' a band concert and fireworks. EXERCISES ARE HELD AT SOUTH SIDE PLAYGROUND Patriotic exercises, commemorating the one hundred and thirty-fourth an niversary of the declaration of Inde pendence. wer<? held yesterday after-, noon at the Southside playground, Sev- ( enth and Harrison streets. The pro gram of orations and music was closed ; with a beautiful tableau entitled "Spirit of "76." The exercises were held in the center of the plaza upon a broad platform, which was decorateJ with large Amer ican flags. The front of the stage was open anJ was reserved for the speak ers, while th 3 rear half was partitioned off by a large red curtain, behind which 50 children of the Franklin grammar school were arranged In colonial cos tume in the tableau. In the center of the tableau stood three children, representing the grand father, father and, son in the- mem orable picture of the "Spirit of '76." On the right stood three soldiers of the British army, while on the left stood three continental soUiers. In the cen ter and clustered around the goddess of liberty were 25 little girls dressed In the colonial stylo. The program opened with the assem blage singing the "Star Spangled Ban ner," after which William Hutton, as chairman of the day. made a short ad dress, explaining the motives which prompted the citizens to observe this day. • He then introduced Supervisor •John A. Kelly, who delivered the ad dress of the day. In part Kelly spoke as follows: I would not call the annual ob servance of Independence day ex actly a celebration. I would say that it is more in the nature of a nationwide anniversary that em braces not alone exuberance for the patriotic youth, but solemn thought and reflection for the generations that are passing and likewise bud ding among us. Not alone should there be a mighty expression of national joy at the thought of our country's freedom, but there should^ at the same time be a due appre ciation felt among all elements of the people, young and old, for the actual meaning of our liberty, the price at which it was obtained and • the lessons it left for us to profit by. That glorious document of his tory, the declaration of inde pendence, was not the mere product of a normal evolution. Rather was it the grim and logical climax of a • period of oppression and personal unhappiness, the tortures and pri vations of which we shall never be able properly to gauge in our own minds. While our cannon boom, our bright flag streams in the breeze, our fresh and uniformed hosts march to the cadence of mar tial music, and our gay streamers and banners proclaim the joy an.l merriment of a loyal people, let us pause long enough to ask the chil dren of today to consider the price at which the nation's liberty was obtained and the sacrifices made upon the altar of patriotism that this American flag might float above us today, unchallenged and unstained. The greatest nation of the earth, clad In all its boundless wealth, beauty, strength and gran deur, should stand forth oh each occasion such as this and do hom age to those sterling pathfinders and builders who by their unparal leled acts of valor and patriotism made possible the existence of this republic. The declaration of independence was read by Joseph Courregeous of the Co lumbia Park boys' club. A southern dance by Evelyn and Ma bel Wallance, fancy dancing by Abby Tilsley anJ gymnastics by the boys and girls of the Elntracht turn verein were features of the exercises. In the evening there was a display of fancy fireworks. Among the figures represented in the display were those of George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. EXEMPT-FIREMEN MAKE MERRY AT BANQUET The few remaining members of the exempt flre company *of the volunteer department and their guests celebrated the anniversary of independence by a breakfast yesterday at a local cafe. Henry D. Hudson, the venerable presi dent/presided and Vice President D. A. Finn acted as toastmaster. Former Judge Robert Ferral responded to "The Day We Celebrate," and F. C. Hensley to the toast 61 "The City of San Fran- C I SCO — old and Xew," after which a number of those present recalled inci dents of the old volunteer days, when the boys ran with the old machines drawn by hand. Mayor McCarthy, who had been invited to take part In the reunion, drove up In an automobile and expressed regret at inability, on ac count of his Injuries, to be with the banqueters.
