LOYAL SUBJECTS DANCE WITH QUEEN ANITA.

SANTACRUZ, Cai~, June 14.—The

event of this day was not on thewater. Itwas a function. Tnemerry and beautiful young Queengathered ncr people about her and

gave the note to music and bade themdance. To be sure the water carnival wentforward afternoon and night, according toan elaborate programme, but the eventhappened in the pavilion—the pavilionthat was built insix days.

And that is another thing that sets ahalo around the monumental respect thatevery visitor to the carnival must fromthis time cherish for Santa Cruz. Here,in an immense building that rose from itspostholes to its weather-vane in six days,was presented to-night a fitting compli-ment to that never-to-be-forgotten pictureunder the stars on the San Lorenzo. Aballroom that might easily represent theartistic energy of months if the fact wasnot known that a sandlot here spread it-self away to the water a few days ago, pre-sented an interior of finished beauty andbrilliant illumination, to say nothing ofthe goodly company in its ballroom finery.

The immense room iscompletely swathedin yellow and gold. From the center ofthe ceiling the carnival colors, in alternatewide stripes, fall down in even festoons,caught and held in place by an immensefishnet that spreads over the whole ex-panse. From the center of the building,too, hang festoons of incandescent lamps,extending the length of the building,caught up, however, at frequent intervals.Arc lights are swung from the ceiling,twenty-one of them making the hall quiteas light as itwould be with the roof offatmidday under a cloudless sky.

Atthe further end of the room from theentrance has been built the Queen's throne—

a raised dais, with gilded chair under anample canopy of yellow satin ribbons

—where swing another battery of incandes-cent lights and four colored Venetianlamps. Stations are fixed at the side ofthe Queen's chair forher immediate attend-ants, and in front is a broad area, alsoraised above the floor, for the seating ofthe guests ofhonor. \Itis now -9:30 o'clock. Hastings' band

has been' entertaining a throng on theriver and the illuminated .floats are there,but alas, the Queen is not, and those whowould be withher where she leads are here,here ingreat numbers. The ;lights are all•blaze and the guests on the floor and inthe balcony are all on the tiptoe of ex-pectancy. At last the doors swing openand a troop of flower girls enter with theirfrocks fullof roses. Intheir yellow dressesthey move down the white floor—it is abroad expanse of white canvas over whichthey strew the roses inthe path in which

, the Queen is to follow. She 'is coming inthe

"splendor of herIroyal ball robe andwithallher brilliantcompany, to the slowmeasure :of a march. As.they [ approachthe: center of the room all the electriclights are 'suddenly turned :oat ,and

'four

calcium lights throw their color shafts fullupon the company. As they move for-ward the color changes continually, mak-inga very beautiful picture. :*

General Dimond conducted the:Queenand led her up to her throne. The royalparty .took their places as indicated, andthen ,the:grand march took • place,

'still

under the changing colored calcium lights.Itwas all of that high order ;of spectacleinkeeping ineach of the carnival events. -.

Roncovieri ;was at his best, and startedthe ball

-with that spirit

'that •only good

music can. Allthrough the evening ,themost picturesque effects were secured bythe clever ;handling ofthe lights. Allthefancy dances were carried through underthe play of the four calciums.; Credit for .all of this is," of.course, due .to the [com-mittees, and chiefly to Charles R. Tidball,who superintended the decorations. Itwas

he also who did the same at Santa Barbara.Following are the committees:Reception

The Naval Reserves have been havingjust a high old time on their outing withthe Olympia. They are on shore to-night,with leave of absence until to-morrowmorning at 7 o'clock. They came on shorethis morning and with the regulars of thegreat warship formed a procession whichmarched through the city, led by theQueen's escort on horseback, the dazzlinghabiliments of the latter contrastingsharply with the somber uniforms of themen-of-warsmen

—a contrast as sharp as

are customs of to-day with those ofmedieval times.

The procession was formed in two de-tachmeuts, the regulars in their plain blueand carrying no arms marching in frontand the reserves infulluniform and carry-ing guns bringing up the rear. Itmarched

over the same ground as the others thathave preceded and provoked as much en-thusiasm along the line. The reserves areextremely well satisfied with their outing.Commander Stahle is inexcellent humorwithhis men. Inan interview to-night hesaid the men went aboard and took chargeof the big warship on Wednesday nightand sailed at noon Thursday. The menperformed every duty ofthe voyage just asis required of the regulars. They made aperfectly successful run and droppedanchor here at 6:30 last night. The menbehaved well for an initial outing. Noneof the men were even seasick.

Lieutenant, Turner of D, Cap-tain Douglass of Company C and CaptainDennis of Company B all speak in thesame satisfied terms. As for the men theyare too proud for anything.

"We were set at work cleaning brass,and kept the ship in trim all the waydown," said one of them to-night. ">foneof us were seasick, although the ship rolledheavily much of the way, especially com-ing over the bar. This morning we wereput through a drillon shipboard."

The Olympia is incharge of a detail fromCompany D, Lieutenant Turner, to-dayand to-night. Thousands of people visitedher during the day, and the owners ofsmall boats coined money in carryingthem out. The Dowager Queen and themaids of honor spent the afternoon onboard.

Amusement Than Excitement forthe Spectators.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal., June 14.—Theaquatic events on the lagoon during theafternoon were ofan amusing rather thanan exciting character, and the crowd as-sembled was kept in good humor by thetub, swimming and other contests.

STARTS TO THE SEASIDE.Departure of the Half-MillionClub Ex-

cursion for the Santa CruxWater Carnival.

The Half-million Club excursion train,consisting of four passenger coaches anddining-car attached, left Third andTownsend streets at 4:30 o'clock yesterdayafternoon bound for the Venetian carnivalat Santa Cruz. A second section of thetrain left the Oakland mole at 5:30 o'clockto go by the way of Niles and pick up anumber of the club's straggling memberswho are rusticating in that locality.

The two divisions meet at San Jose andconsolidate, the train reaching the city bythe sea in time for the evening's enter-tainment to be witnessed by the membersof the party.

In response to numerous requests re-ceived from Senator Burk and J. P. Smith,members of the executive committee,Brigadier-General R. H. Warfield andstaff, consisting of Lieutenant-Colonel J.G. Giesting, Lieutenant-Colonel G. F.Hanson, the staff surgeon ;Major Duboce,the staff inspector; Major F. F. Follis, thequartermaster; Major W. A. Halstead, thecommissary ;Major H. Hosmer, inspectorof rifle practice ;Major Charles E. Murphy,the staff engineer; Major C. H. Evans,signal officer, and Captain S. L.Napthaly,will all join the Half-million excursionand attend the carnival.

The military men make a striking ap-pearance in their new dress uniforms, andthey undoubtedly willcause quite a sensa-tion upon their arrival in Banta Cruz.

The members of the Half-millionClubwillbe given a reception I>y the executivecommittee of the fete upon their arrival,and General Wartield and staff willbe en-tertained by General Dimond and staff,who will meet them in military style, infulluniform, at the depot.

The members of both parties willremainin Santa Cruz until the last event on thecarnival programme is ended. The canwill remain on the side track near thedepot, and be used as a hotel during theirstay, as it is impossible to procure accom-modations for so large a party with thecity in its crowded condition.

LUCK OF SPOKANE MENRich Yield* of Gold in a Mine Thought

to lie Valueless.SPOKANE, Wash., June 14.—The War

Eagle Mining Company has declared adividend of $50,000, or 10 cents a share.This mine is situated in the Trail Creekdistrict, north of Spokane. A year ago itwas a prospect. The promoters had takenbonds on it and tried in vain to sell thaproperty for $15,000.

Finally Patsy Clark formed a companyof Spokane men, who divided the stockamong themselves at 6 cents a share.They bonded the mine, did some develop-ment work and opened up a bonanza. The;first month's ore shipments paid for themine and all improvements. The presentdividend is, therefore, clear profit on thainvestment. Itrepresents three months'limited shipments over an almost impass-able mountain road.
