THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.
A Glorious Celebration of a Glorious Holiday.
Ankhelum Does Herself Proud on the Fourth—Thousands of People Come to Town to Witness the Day's Festivities—A splendid Parade—Patriotic Songs and Literary Exercises—The Barbecue—Fireworks.
The celebration of the Glorious Fourth on Monday was carried out with time-honored observances. The city was gay in bunting and gala attire. There were bands and banera, flags and streamers gay, a gorgeous triumphal arch, a splendid parade, music and patriotic songs, literary exercises, a grand barbecue, athletic games and a parade of Antiques and Horribles in the afternoon, and illuminations and fireworks and a grand ball in the evening. There was likewise the smell of patriotic powder in the air, for Young America was abroad in the land, and the fizz, bang, boom of the cracker and the bomb resounded from morning till night. Thousands of people were in town. They came from the countryside for miles and miles around. Everybody in the county was with us to help us celebrate, and the day was given up to the enjoyment of the grand and glorious holiday. And there never was such a celebration. We simply did ourselves proud. It was the first time in several years that we celebrated, but we made up for the omission in right royal fashion. The parade was simply out of sight and incomparable.
Our homes were turned over to our visitors, and every one was made to feel at home. Everybody had the freedom of the city cheerfully extended him—likewise to his sisters and his cousins and his aunts. There was a splendid oration by Judge Wilson, listened to by thousands of enthusiastic people; and Judge Towner, as President of the day, seemed to be in his element and in a mood most happy on the auspicious occasion. Miss Lulu James read the Declaration of Independence capitally, and the Glee Club sang patriotic songs without end. There were procession marched with precision, and no accident or other untoward event occurred to mar the parade. First came the advance of police, followed by the Grand Marshal and sides, John Hartung, George Whitaker, H. Dickel, Colonel Robinson, H. C. Gade, attired in gorgeous array. The military band followed discoursing martial airs, the instrumentation being excellent, and Drum Major Adams being the observed of all observers. The military company marched with soldierly tread, and as usual made a very creditable appearance, Capt. Brownning looking as though it was the proudest moment of his life.
The Mayflower and Pilgrim Fathers, in costume, which followed, was a most striking as well as beautiful feature of the parade. Alex Henry stood at the helm, his good right hand, guiding the destinities of the craft. About him were the patriotic band that have passed into history. The craft was the handwork of Mr. Henry, and on all sides were his praises sung for the excellence of the work.
"Washington Crossing the Delaware" was an inspiring part of the parade. Our friend Garwood, fit subject for the mantle of the Father of His Country, impersonated that distinguished and honored personage. Garwood never told a lie, and if anybody wants a cherry tree cut down, call on him at the irrigation office. About him in the boat were his brave crew, who, like the Pilgrim Fathers, have passed into patriotic history, and who will live honored and revered by the Nation until finally the lights go out and Gabriel blows his trumpet in the darkness.
The Ship of State was a feature of the parade. The little girls representing the different States were a perfect bower of beauty. Columbia was impersonated by Bessie Bates, and the following little girls represented the different States: Anna Marion, Winnie Melrose, Sophie Backs, Zelma Bailey, Elnora Parker, Pearl Stevens, Addie Wallop, Katie Oefinger, Lottie Brown, Edna Williams, Regina Classen, Pearl Roberts, Bertha Oefinger, Janio King, Faith Roberts, Inez James, Katia Brown, Edna McWilliams, Lilie James, Carry Bauer, Nenio McWilliams, Josephine Knapke, Vera Gade, Lena Cook, Nellie Weaver, Louisa Paschall, Freda Backe, Claudia Rimpan, Fannie Seals, Edith Bates, Pauline Nemetz, Bessie Schubert, Edith Roberts, May Rasemeller, Adela Strodthoff, Ethel James, Daisy Seals, Mary Sonnen, Poldie Heimmann, Julia Nemetz, Emily Warling, Sally Paschall, Katia Backes, Mamie Witte, Amelia Backs, Annis Dunning, Louisa Rinker, Edith Pellegrin, Louisa Knapke.
THE DIFFERENT DISPLAYS.
Miss Mabel Lungenberger, representing California, followed in a very pretty vehicle that aptly set forth the splendor of the State. There were bags of gold in profusion, and the national colors floating majestically there was a spark on a grand backdrop herself proud as she most pleasant that was most enjoyable of the lunch profits were up and cream was where.

Our homes were turned over to our visitors, and every one was made to feel at home. Everybody had the freedom of the city cheerfully extended him—likewise to his sisters and his cousins and his aunts. There was a splendid oration by Judge Wilson, listened to by thousands of enthusiastic people; and Judge Towner, as President of the day, seemed to be in his element and in a mood most happy on the auspicious occasion. Miss Lulu James read the Declaration of Independence capitally, and the Glee Club sang patriotic songs without end. There were games in the afternoon—the time-honored grassed pig asqueal, greased pole and the full list of the rest of them. Likewise the royal parade of the Calithumpians came to town, some in rags, some in hags and some in velvet gowns. And, as had been provided for on the occasion of that auspicious event in his history of the unhappy Koko, there were fireworks in the evening.
And the barbecue! Spare us from talking of the barbecue! Dr. Paschall was there, and our friend Perry gave him pointers on the side. The Doctor was raised on barbecues in Kentucky, and Perry was brought up on them across the line in Tennessee. We don't want to speak about it. There was a rope stretched across the beautiful avenue embowered of lovely trees where the tables were spread. The rope was stretched to keep the people back until Dr. Paschall should ring the dinner bell. All night long had the Doctor and Signor Raemella teiled by the pale light of the lantern and the moon to get the two scores of carcasses in fit condition for the mrowr. And when the sun peeped over the hills over by the Olive mills, those carcasses were abristle, juicy, sweet and tender. Before the Doctor rang the dinner bell, he came down to the rope and said the barbecue would shortly be set in motion. A great crowd had collected without the sacred confines of the reoff-arena. Pretty soon the rope was lowered, and a dignified rush for the tables began. The rush was conducted with due regard for the considerations of acclat and hilarity. We don't want to speak about it. With a charmer on this side and one on that, a fellow lost himself in the surroundings, and was happy enough to slope with his mother-in-law. And the moats that had been prepared would tempt the appetite of a Jane—are you with us? It was a grand and glorious and patriotic affair.
The day was ushered in by the firing of anvil at daylight, or some time before. The patriotic Anaheimer, awakening, rolled over in his bed, wondered who was up so early, assumed himself that the Fourth was here, and went to sleep again—that is, if he could. If he couldn't, he lay awake and wondered what he was going to have for breakfast. The day was all that could have been expected. The sky was o'ercast with fog beetles, but later the sun came out and made matters interesting. As the day wore on towards the forenoon the sidewalks were peaked with a dense mass of moving humanity. Thousands of people were on the streets, occupying points of vantage to see the parade. The procession formed at the corner of Broadway and Olive streets and marched to Center and down that thoroughfare to Palm, and thence through the published route. As the head appeared at the corner of Center and Olive shout went up, and as it reached the great double triumphal arch at the corner of Center and Los Angeles
Miss Mabel Langenberger, representing California, followed in a very pretty vehicle that aptly set forth the splendors of the State. There were bags of gold in profusion, and the national colors floating majestically over all. Very pretty.
Next in order was McWilliams' goat, gorgeously bedecked in the royal colors of the L.O.O.F. It was the very goat that many of the following delegation of Odd Fellows had ridden on being initiated into the order. So McWilliams says.
After the Odd Fellows came carriages with Supervisors Schorn, Armor and Hawkins, a quorum of the board; the City Trustees and the President of the Day, Orator and Reader of the Declaration of Independence, and Glee Club.
The Fire Department, with the engine all arrayed in holiday attire, was next in line, and was followed by the car containing the Mexican Aldianos.
The second division was composed of the trades display, and a better showing has very seldom been seen. Plez James was Marshal, with Cap. Schumacher, James Rimpau and Arthur Lewis sides. First in line was Tim Carroll's Evergreen Nurseries. The parade couldn't get along without the Evergreen Nurseries. Tim had a great display of trees, all true to name and perfectly free from scale. Tim has a stone log yet, but the Evergreen Nurseries have no flies on them or scale either.
Fred Backs displayed a very fine line of furniture, as did Jos. Backs, further down the line.
Conrad's big brewery came next, with a perfectly gorgeous display. Conrad was strictly in it. He had one of the finest displays in the line, among it a huge cake of ice with a bouquet of flowers frozen inside, to say nothing about the casks and kegs of beer on board. As he passed reviewing stand, a glass of Erlanga flashed in the sunlight and Conrad made it disappear. Getsundeit, mein herr!
Bird & White' corn shelling outfit came next, and attracted much attention.
Isaac Lyons had one of the finest displays in the parade. It took two trucks to display the nice things in his grocery store, and the space was pretty well taken up, too. The display was first class.
William Fischer's cooperage display was a very pretty affair, and was much admired. His three little boys were at work in a miniature cooper shop, and were going at it in a manner to discount the old man. Unique and artistic.
The Buona Park Condensed Milk and Coffee Factory showed a fine line of their goods, followed by the City Truck Line and Santiago Canyon coal.
The Griffith Lumber Company had a very fine display of sash, doors and blinds, and Jos. Bennerecheidt had a good display of tinware.
J. L. Schumacher displayed his celebrated mineral waters, soda and arsaparilla.
John Schauman had one of the best displays in the line. His stock of goods, consisting of blacksmithing and wagon works, farming implements, etc., were displayed in four wagons, on one of which was Charles Crawford working an anvil and forge. Artistic and very fine.

Nicholas' sheep shearing display was a very pretty affair. The truck contained a typical sheep shearing camp, and several shearers were at work removing the fleece, which was as white as snow.
Tim Booga's display of the Anahaim Winery was a very fine affair, and Mr. Harker's display of his harness immediately after was one of the most artistic in the line.
The Olive Millaging Company had a fine display of flour, as the Anahaim Bakery had of bread.
This closed the parade. Following came citizens in carriages.
THE EXERCISES.
The procession marched through the streets, and went to the schoolhouse yard, where the exercises were held. The grounds were filled with a vast concourse of people. General Pierce called the assemblage to order, and introduced Judge Tower as President of the Day. The Judge was most happy in his short speech of welcome, and was greeted with applause. The Glee Club sang "The Star Spangled Banner," and after further remarks by the Judge, sang "America." Miss James read the Declaration of Independence. The Glee Club sang "The Red, White and Blue," after which Judge Wilson delivered the oration.

The street cars did a rushing business.
Dr. Reid took out the front window of his drug store and served ice cream soda at a lively rate.
The saloons broke the record. Over six hundred gallons of beer were sold during the day, to say nothing of the other liquid refreshments. That we had only two arrests for drunkenness demonstrates good carrying capacity.
The decorations all over town were very fine, and much more decorating would have been done, only the supply of bunting gave out. The decorations have been mostly taken down, but the triumphal arch remains, but will probably be taken down shortly.
Marshal Steadman had a force of "the finest" that left nothing to be desired. There were Big Bentz, Theo Blumhardt, Bill Schumacher and Clarence Groat. They didn't have much to do but to walk around and see the sights.
The car containing the Spanish Aldianos was one of the prettiest sights in the procession. It was filled with very handsome young ladies of the Spanish colony, and was decidedly interesting as well as attractive.
Judge Wilson's address was a masterly effort, and was listened to with wrap attention by the large concourse of people. Owing to the crowded state of our columns we are unable to publish it this week.
