IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGQ Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago June 27, 1889 The graduating exercises of the public schools at Music hall last Friday evening were most enjoyable. Every seat in the hall was occupied shortly after 8 o'clock. The evening's entertainment began with a selection by Prof. James' orchestra, when a programme by pupils of the several different rooms followed. There were recitations by Freda Dravsen and Major Schultz. Music by Miss Burton's and Miss Clothier's pupils, instrumental solo by Gussie Langenberger, Recitations by Eva Littlefield, Clara Field, Lena Snodgrass, Martha Hartung, Elenora Parker, Harry Davis, a declamation by Neill Bailey.

At the close of the program the graduates delivered their essays and Frank Moore presented the diplomas. The graduates are Miss Katie Champlin, Miss Emma Van Brunt, Lloyd Bailey and James Rimpau who delivered the valedictory of the class. At the close 25 Years Ago June 18, 1914 The men's club of St. Michael's church numbering 60 members journeyed out to Orange county park Tuesday evening and in the gleam of auto lamps and the star beam's struggling light devoured the contents of a Dutch pot composed principally of chicken. An advance committee consisting of Welborn Wallop, H. A. Dickel and Herman Stern went out to the park earlier in the day and prepared the pot, made the coffee and had all things in readiness for the hungry picnickers when they arrived. The party left here in autos at 6 o'clock and returned at midnight. Music and much speaking were indulged in during the progress of the evening, but no regular program had been arranged. No ladies accompanied the party on this occasion. Rev. Father F. J. Dubbel has booked passage for the Orient and is preparing to take a well earned vacation. He will sail from San Francisco on the Chiyo Maru, a Japanese liner of 22,000 tons displacement and will make stops in Hawaii, Japan, China and the Philippines. He will return the first week in September. It is not known whether Father Dubbel is bent on missionary work, exploring or is merely taking a well earned rest. He has been at the head of St. Boniface church for El Rodeo Club's Show is Success Nearly 5000 People Attend Event Sunday; Drum Corps Present El Rodeo club was host to a crowd of nearly 5,000 persons for the Horsemen's jubilee which presented nearly 400 horses and riders in an all-day program of events in a variety of classes at the club grounds Sunday. Opening with a grand entrance in which all participants took part and including the Anaheim 'drum and bugle corps and other features, the program goes under way at 10 o'clock for morning events. These include horse show features with pleasure horses best pairs and other entries. Field events followed with barrel race thoroughbred races, three gaitee classes, cowgirl races, stock horse class, stake race, orange race, and others. The barbecue at noon was served to more than 1,000 guests and the clubhouse was jammed in the evening for the dance following the show. More than 250 prizes were distributed to winners in various events, to the crowd and at the dance during the evening. Prizes were donated by merchant throughout southern California and entries for the competition came from many counties. A comedy feature was the chaiot race in which a team of burrs with a typical Roman chariot competed with a team of Shetland ponies. The orange race was an Orange county version of the old tin cowboy potato race with valenciennes. At the cost of the program the graduates delivered their essays and Frank Moore presented the diplomas. The graduates are Miss Katie Champlin, Miss Emma Van Brunt, Lloyd Bailey and James Rimpau who delivered the valedictory of the class. At the close he delivered a tribute to Prof. Ennis and the school trustees. The beet seed planted by farmers in this vicinity promises excellent results. The beets of Mr. Schulte of Orangethrope, an experienced beet raiser, are in particularly fine condition and will undoubtedly polarize above the standard. As this section is a good sweet potato country, it is contended beets will do correspondingly well. Among the farmers who are experimenting with the new industry are H. Kroeger, E. D. Ward, A. Gardiner, H. Werder, M. Nebelung, J. P. Zeyn, L. Parker, F. H. Keith, Otto Rust, J. Hunter, L. Hickox, C. J. Hough, Mrs. Collins, G. W. Maxon, H. A. Boege, J. V. Landell, Dr. Warner, Silas Wright and many others whose names were not learned. Contractor Ledbetter last Friday opened the bids for hauling the number of the new bridge at Olive and awarded the contract to C. W. Whitcomb of Los Angeles for $1 per thousand feet. Other bidders were as follows: H. C. Gade $1.29 per thousand feet, John Hunter $1.20, J. D. Ott, $1, Geo. Bixby, $1.25, Boege & Mickel $1.50. It is understood that the successful bidder agreed to haul Mr. Ledbetter's tools here from Los Angeles if his bid was accepted. William Schumacher of Law Bolsas beach says that several coveys of young ducks have been seen in the creeks near his place and he threatens to take a shot at them. Last season he bagged, in round numbers, ten thousand ducks and snipe. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Avery returned last week from their eastern trip. Mrs. Blair who recently contemplated moving to The Palms to reside, has given up that intention and has purchased some lots booked passage for the Orient and is preparing to take a well earned vacation. He will sail from San Francisco on the Chiyo Maru, a Japanese liner of 22,000 tons displacement and will make stops in Hawaii, Japan, China and the Philippines. He will return the first week in September. It is not known whether Father Dubbel is bent on missionary work, exploring or is merely taking a well earned rest. He has been at the head of St. Boniface church for many years and this is the first time he has indulged in a vacation. May he have an enjoyable and prosperous voyage and return safely to his flock. The vestry and members of St. Michael's Episcopal church have granted their rector, Rev. David Todd Gilmor, a month's vacation and a month's leave of absence, making it possible for Mr. Gilmor to have two months well-earned rest. The church under Mr. Gilmor's care has made great progress. During his absence the services will be cared for by clergymen from Los Angeles. Four Anaheimers received diplomas at the University of Southern California last week. They were Miss-Kate Sutherland, who graduated from the school of music, R. L. Spaeth from the liberal arts, Miss Margaret Dexter, and Miss Beatrice Day who were given the degrees of Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts respectively. The principal attraction in W. H. Houts show window just at present is a young coyote, about the size of a cottontail rabbit. Two of them were caught near Placentia, Saturday by George Foster who ran them down with a horse and captured them single handed. One refused to remain in captivity and made his escape. Members of the euchre club were entertained Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Fred Rimpau at her home on North Los Angeles street. She was assisted by her sister, Miss Zoila Smythe of San Juan Capistrano. At the conclusion of the games luncheon was served. Leon A. Porter, proprietor of the implement house in the Kraemer building on Center street reports business on the up-grade. H. H. Hale, E. E. Beazley and Tom McFadden of Placentia made Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Avery returned last week from their eastern trip. Mrs. Blair who recently contemplated moving to The Palms to reside, has given up that intention and has purchased some lots on Broadway and East streets, where lumber is being hauled for the erection of a residence. Mr. Remick's house near by, is also being considerably improved. It is extremely probable that a solution of the dread vine disease which devastated the vineyards of the southern portion of the state, for some years past, baffling all efforts to stay its havoc, is at last arrived, and as soon as the proper remedies may be applied the awful vision will be a thing of the past. Newton B. Pierce, the government expert sent here from Washington has made discoveries which it is hoped will point the way to cure the disease. It is probable that Co. G will take part in the fourth of July parade at Los Angeles, should their new uniforms arrive in time. Capt. Wood received a dispatch yesterday afternoon saying that the uniforms would be shipped next Saturday. The streets are being cleared of weeds which considerably improves their appearance. A colony of thirty-two Poles from Russia have lately settled in our midst, and are occupying houses near the Southern Pacific depot and other places.
