Santa i'kuz, Sept. 9.— Admission day
has come anil gone, and itis safe to say thatneither the Native Sons nor tlieir manyfriends here and elsewhere willwitness asenthusiastic a celebration again. Up to theList moment the delegations and the SautaCruz people hovered between hopes andfears, but now there is but one emotion—that of intense exultation.
Perhaps none of the visiting pnrlors morethoroughly enjoyed the trip than MissionI'arlor, which came down on the steamerDel Norte. The Call representative whoaccompanied the party had as lively an ex-
perience as the most thorough lover ofnautical romance could desire. As a pre-face to the story of Admission day iiSautaCruz, the loe of the Del Norte will not boc t of ord T.
When the steamer left Folsom-
streetWharf at 4:20 o'clock in the afternoon theNative Sons were Droud to see that quite aLumber of ladies hud elected to brave theperils of Hie
"vasty deep," and to essay a
ttatile with the dreaded mal-de-mer. Asthe vessel passed along the water front the-team whistle was kept (joint: Incessantlyin responding to courtesies from passingvessels. Two lame British ships dipped
their flairs, to the enthusiastic dolicht of theboys, who evidently felt that in theirdeclaration of independence they had the
sympathies of John bull himself. Off FortPoint the motion of the Del None assumedthe character of a kitten at play or a de-mented mandarin or a dancing dervish,
. BUFFERING A SEA CHANGE.1fie complexion of the ladies promptly
"siiffercii a sen change," and conversationwhich had hitherto been lively became sup-pressed and spasmodic. A great many ofihe Native Sons suddenly manifested anabsorbing interest i:i What whs going oni.ver the side, and wheu they held tin theirheads again the, smiles had vanished andUen laced by a look of woe unutterable.ih1
-crbis was reached when the Del JS'orte
lassed nut through the heads, anil, herprow beinj; turned to the southward, thepitching motion was coupled with the longroll i.lthe Pacific Ocean.
Down the San ilateo shore the vesselcrept along at a speed of eight knots anhour. '1here was an exceptionally fine sun-apt, and when the stirs came out and thel'(je;i,\ Band struck up "Rocked in theCradle of the Deep" the chorus was taken11 by a dozen manly barytones, with hereand there a piping treble, to show that someat least ol California's daughters could re-»M tlie deadly prostration of seasickness.Sen time ..tal cuuples discovered secret nooksauiid colls of ropes a little too large fo> oneand not quite large enough for two. Witha modi-rate amount of squeezing the matter
m v.as sati.-factorily adjusted, however. The\u25a0 mutn penciled the waters with silver in the
orthodox manner, and after Pescadero light«a- passed dancing, whist and any amount
fofracy stories made the time pass all too
quickly, the electric beams of Santa Cruzcoining in sight at midnight.
A BOYAL WELCOME.The Chinese lanterns were lighted and
colored lights and rockets sent up in blissfullt:m ranee of the fact that the headland en-tirelyiinoff the view of the ship from thepeople of banta Cruz. At 12:30 the wharfw.is reached, and simultaneously, the lie-lief, whichmust have made a record-break-::.. run from San Francisco, appeared insight, not half a mile astern. The passen-gi-rs on the two steamers were prepared fora reusing reception, but the greeting theyreceived was something to think of formany a year. O'i came the Relief boys intheir sou'wester bats mid pea-jackets, look-ing as if they bad had a rare drenching onthe nay down. The streets of Santa Cruzwere ablaze with colored fires, rockets andn man-candles, and the effect was superb.For nearly a mile the visitors passed fourdee.ll up the town, and just as the specialtrail)!" with heavy reinforcements arrived,the order to countermarch was given. Anumber broke ranks and hurried off insearch of beds, for by this time It was"nearly 2 o'clock, and while all Santa Cruzpeople were wide awake, there were manyof the visitors who were just dying furwant of sleep.
Abcttthiilf of the Native Sr.ns concludedto make a night of it, and a lively time theyhad. While everybody could not Cud a bedeverybody could find a companion simi-larlyunfortunate, and it Is safe to say thatvery few peoile slept in Santa Cruz after3 clock in the morning.
THE PARLOUS LOCATED.The entire morning was devoted to
preparations for the parade. The streetswere gay with bunting, and the triumphalarch, on Parific avenue, was a revelation.The Pacifi'" Ocean Hou^e, tlip uesidqunrtrrsof licperian Parlor, and the office of theDaily Surf were especially well decorated.
The headquarters of all the parlors couldbe easily uiiked out by the profuse andvaried decorations. Stanford ana l'ulo Alto
parlors are at the Pacific Ocean Ilonse, amith« hotel gardens have been mudu addition-ally attractive by a tent filled with tropicalI'lnnts ami bamboo arches picturesquelyplaced at intervals. El Dorado's home is intie Masonic Hall, with Onedia Parlor ofNative Danehter*. Hesperian Parlor at thehook and ladder house is Handsomely deco-rated in wblM and gold. Alratraz Is at

NOTKS OF THE I'ABADE.California l'arlor, Nn. 1. escorted a live
bear. The Mission Parlur wore as a badga
an Immense ship biscuit, at which the boysgave an occ-isionnl uibble. The SantaCruz boys looked very neat in blacktnu-ers.'wliite blouses and yellow sashes.The GoldPn Gate pirates presented a novelfeature with their gou'-wester hats, life pre-servers and oars, and were heartily cheeredall alon^ the line. Halcyon Parlor was es-corted by a drill corps, and the boys weremost tastefully dressed in white through-out. Tliey also took along n bear. TheYerba Huuna boys carried a very handsomebanner with four poles. Observatory Par-lor, one of tlie latest, carried a very prettyconception in the shape of a mini itore ob-servatory, wreathed in bright ribbons andflowers. Tlie Veteran Fire Patrol wasgreeted with warm cheers all aloug the lineand looked especially attractive with theirwhite trousers, bluu jackets and red caps.IJomiis were fired during the purple, andwith tlie music of the various bands matfcnil tilings most lively and expressed inBound tiie glad feeling* of all.
The Veteran Guard nud tho WatsnnvilleGirl Zouaves were verr popular features ofthe prncesMon— the old soldiers looking likethe old Grauito battalions that Grant ledfrom the Wilderness to the Uapidau. Itwas a brave proce-si'in throughout.
SOCIAL ENTERTAINING.The literary exercises intended to be civen
In tlie Opera House during the afternoonwere postponed until the evening, whenthey were sandwiched in during pauses inthe ball. The necessity for doiu^ this arose
from thflfact that a iarge number of visitorswent to the Pavilion hy mistake, and onlyabout a hundred reached the Opera House.The disappointment was the more easilyborne because It enabled the parlorsto do a large amount of receiving. Stan-ford Parlor easiiy carried off the palm, thecombined effect of the music and ttie ex-qnlsitelv tasteful decorations being irresist-ible. The Oakland parlor*, at the beach,were also visited by a large number of en-thusiastic trends of the X. S. G W. Thevoting men have won golden opinions fromthe people nl Santa Cruz and their conducthas been admirable. Of course there has beena little obuiition of bottlci-up patriotismbubbling over; but the boys have done, well,there is in) mistake about that. Carroll andFitzsimmons announced a sparring exhibi-tion for yesterday evening and this Kfter-DOrm, but the attendance was extremelymeager and the combination will hardlyfiu'l matters more encouraging to-morrow.
One ol the results of the crowding of thecity with stringers and the absence of citi-zens from home whilu visiting the parlorsand watching 'he parade iva perfect epi-demic of burglaries. The houses of WilliamBuchanan and J. K. Stewart wero en-tered and ransacked from roof to base-ment; so were the dwellings of E. 11.Oarrett and J. P. Twist Moses H. Bern-helm ofEureka was robbed of a gold watch
and SIMin money by a thief who stole hisbatli-iic.u<e check atid presented it for pay-ment before Mr. lieruheiui had finished h'ub.ith.
The San Jose and San Francisco base-ballteams will contend at Dolphin Athleticlark to-morrow afternoon.
KOTABLB PEOPLE PUESEJTT.Amors the familiar faces in the crowd on
the street to-day wero: Ex-Mayor EugeneGregory of Sacramento, Judges Lawler,Levy, Kelley, Coffee ana Garber of SanFrancisco, Judge Buck ol Sin Mate •, 11.I.

Tin: LABOR CROWDS.The trains from Monterey and the south
brought In large e,rouds, and the demandmail" on the restaurant* of the better classbegun to become noticeably in execs? of thesupply, potatoes and vegetables had to bedispensed with, anl prices had a strongupward tendency, In one, case a parly offour Native Suns were asked to pay |480for a family porter-house steak, but thiswas an exceptional charge, 75 cents and $1a meal were, however, common prices,and beds acquired a prohibitory value.It had been arranged that the lie-lief should leavo lor Monterey thisafternoon with the G.ilden Gite P.irlnr, re-turning thence to San Francisco, after abrief stay, but the boys were so well treatedIn bantu Cruz they concluded to slay an-other day.
T:ie final arrangement Is for the DalNorte and R-li f to leave for San Iran-cisco at noon to-day, the Idea of a trip toMonterey being abandoned. R. I*.Uojlanand Eugene F. Bert, both of San Francisco,have (overed themselves with glory inmaking visit rs at borne acid in executivework generally. Tha bis event of the daywas Hie grand ball at the pavilion inthe evening. Some idea may be farmedof the elaborate scale on which the affairwas carried nut when itslated that S7OO hadbeen expended by the committee for souve-nir programmes ulooe. The souvenir wasexecuted in the highest style of the litho-graphic art by a Sin Fr.mei."co firm, and 13
full of topical sketches and designs suitableto the occasion.
THE GI'.AXD BAH..Over 1000 dancers crowded into the
pavilion just as soon as th-i doors wereopened, and the Hastings Band (if .SantaCruz played the ensuing strains of the grandmarch. The latter was led by Grand Presi-dent Fitzgerald and Miss S phi.i Finkel-dey. The crush soon became so greatthat many couples despairing of the possi-bility of getting a dance made their way tot.ie headquarters of those parlors whichhad hulls Urge enough for dancing. Mis-sion Parlor was oil" of these, and a greattime was had there. Oakland Parlor also haaa ball at the Sea Beach Hotel. Grand OratorJoaselyn, introduced by Grand PresidentFitzgerald, niiidy a suitable address at thepavilion during an Interval between tliodaucej ill tlie evening.
sin. JOSSEI.YN'S ratio*.The speaker of the day, Mr. W. 13. .losi-
elyn. In his peroration delivered a glowingand iniinssionocl tribute to t!;e .Stale of hisbirth, t» its early history and struggles, toits development from mineral wealth to itsgolden harvest of fruitand flowers and toits sturdy sons and beautiful daughters,born under its sunny skies mid nurtured by-Its fruitful Gelds, ever advancing, neverretrograding, until it is ".-is firmly fixed asthe eternal hill*,the enduring stars and thenever fading lights" in the nation's brightgalaxy of jewels. From the garden of hisimagination lip gathered the sweetest (low-
ers of poesy, from which he wreathed agarland, brilliant in oratorical coloring.
Line by lino he followed the history of therise and progress of the Statn from its crudosurroundings of the miner's cabin to theluxurious accessions of tho present day;from semi-barbarism to the refinementsthat accompany civilization. The addresswas clothed with the finest and most subtileImagery, and his exordium closed with thefollowingapostrophe:
Oh, California, you have been to un iternorousmother, and InHie bright history the future Is towrite of you may we he won of a place. Onthe road Unit i« behtud Is history and that*tretchei away Into the unknown misty before.May we to navel that upon our record theremay be no line thai It may not ba meet towrite as a pai t of yours.

The Indications are that most of the visit-Jng parlors will return in their homes to-May, and that the people of Santa, Cruzwillgot a much needed rest. Atthe presentwriting the majority of citizens and visitorsalike have been un the go for forty-eighthours, and they begin to look like tlie spec-ters on the Styx waiting for old Charon toferry them over.

WITH Till! NIANTICS.
ADay Pleasantly Spent at Vallejo and onthe liay.
The Native Sons and Daughters of Nian-tic Parlor celebrated the day withan excur-sion around the bay to Vall.joand returnon the steamer James Ni. Douahue. Thetrio was a most enjoyable one, and, barringthe early morning rain, the balance of tbeday could not have been finer.
The parlor assembled at its headquartersIn the Odd Fellows' Temple at 8:30 o'clock,and, headed Dy the P;irk Band, marched tothe liburon ferry ISO strong. The wharfwns already crowded on arrival, not onlywith several hundred friends of the parlor,but two other excursion parties awaitingthe departure of boats.
About 1000 tickets had been sold byNlantlc Parlor, but owing to the threaten-ing asivect of the morning very many didnot turn out, so that at 10 o'clock, whenthe steamer left her moorings, there wereonly about Coo poopie on board. Less tiianhalf an lu.ur after departure, however, thecbuds cleared auay, the sun shone outwarm and pleasautly, and the probabilityclerk favored the party with v choice bit ofexcursion weathnr.
GHKKTED WITIICIIEEES.All the way down the bay the party
was greeted with cheers, whistles «nd dip-ping i.l flags from the various steamers amisailing vessels passed, to which enthusiasticresponses were made. An iiiuple luncheonof shrimp salad, sandwiches, ice-cream,cake and fruits had been provided, no thatthe party fared well. Dancing and singingwere participated in both going and return-ing.
At Vallejo, where the party arrived at 1o'clock, h -t»v was mad" until 3o'clock, amithe whole party inarched up Georgia streetto Armory Hall, where a literary and musi-cal programme and more dancing were had.The Nianticiou their return voted the dayto have been the pleasantest ever spent bythem. The pleasure and enjoyment !ofeverybody who accompanied the patty wasdue in great measure to the obliging dispo-sition of Captain White, whoso stateroomwas placed at the disposal of the ladies.

The Pioneers went toEl Campo yesterdayto have a good time, and they had it Tlwynever do anything by halves these hoary-headed founders of a great commonwealth.Even to their Ireuueutaud sometimes ratherexciting ca-time of quarreling, they curryan c ui.e-t::--,-, that commands a certainamount of rugged respect. 15ut there wasnone of this sport yesterday. Everythingwas harmony. I'eaco and good willrefgofdeverywhere, for the argonauts were cele-brating the State's natal day.
There was a light sprinkling of NativeSons ("chickens" in Pioneer vernacular)—just enough to keeD the old boys from be-comtng giddy. Fully 1200 people partici-patod, and tlie occasion was one of perfectrnj. yment The excursionists left the-* »»•at 10 o'clock iv the morning, aud were con-veyed to the selected, cosy retreat for theday's festivities by the San Francisco andNorth Pacific steamer Tiburon. Arrivingone hour later the merry pa rty found tliegrounds and pavilion handsomely decoratedwith hunting and State and national emlileins.
From the place of landing the Fifth In-fantry N. U. C. Band led the long proccs-Blon to a roomy pavilion, whero brief liter-ary exercises were held. L. L. Baker,l'ie>idt:i) t of tlie society, presided, and afterextending a cordial creating to all presentintroduced Rev. J. A. lientun, who invokedthe divine blessing. Wlllaid li. Farwcllthen delivered an oration, reminiscent inCharacter— an eloquent and thrilling re-view ni an Important epoob in ihe uunalgof California's history.
THOUGHTS BBIOSI9CKNT.lie took bU bearers back to the little
"Yerba Bnena cove" of 1826 Rnd vividlypictured the successive steps and staKes bywhich San Kraneisco lias grown to be agreat metropolis. Aft^r dwelling at leuuthupon tlie many roman ie phases in the city'shistory, the speaker coircluded as follows:
t'outiastliiK Hie seme which we witnessaround us to-day with ttio i>lcluie of the past,we nave a M^tii loiejoic* over the work of res-cuing IIlls (air land from the dreamy desuetudeInto which It h::d thin fallen, and regeneratingIt by tl.o Infusion o' American enterpilse andAmeilcan clvlllzaliou Into me 111:111 of Its ex-istence.

HEADING OF POEMS.After the oration came three poems. Dr.
Washington Ayer read ttio first, and wasfollowed by Dr. Beiiton. wiio made the au-dience merry with his "nil-round men oi'4!t," which proved to bo an excellent de-scription of the "early iu«ller." The titleof the last piece was "Steamer Day," readby E. K. Clicever. Itwas witty and stirredthe greybeards to uproarl.ius laughter.
A few musical selections closed the exer-cices in the pavilion and the people then re-paired to discuss a temptiug lunch, spreadout upon long, ilower-decked tables underthe cooling shades of willows. Here theylingered long over appetizing viands, in-dulging ttie while in song, jest and story.After lunch the pavilion was cleared fordancing, but the II>ur was not given upentirely to the young.
A hundred argonauts claimed recognitionamong the fair sex, and skipped about theplace with an agility which told no storiesof days and night spent in mining ditchesand on qimrtz ledges. The dancing waskept up until 0 o'clock, and at that hour theexcursionists returned to the city more thanpleaded with the day.
AT OTHER 1-LACE3.
How Admission J>uy Wat ObservedThroughout the State.
Vallejo, Sept 9.—Admission day wasobserved as a holiday in this city. Flags
were flying from every masthead and thestreets were crowded with people. Thesteamer Donahue arrived at 1o'clock in theafternoon, and Niantic Farlor of the NativeSons inarched through the streets, cheeringeverythins in sight. About 800 people camewith them. They bad \u25a0 headquarters atArmory Hall, where they, danced for n fewhours to the music of the Park Band. Atraveling circus added to the attractions ofthe day, and the inanngeinant gave free ad-mlsMon to the children of the Good Tem-plars' Home. Una hundred little onesattended the afternoon performance, whichthey enjoyed. Another feature of \u25a0 the daywas a game of .base-ball between the

AT MABYSVILLE.AlAitYsvii.i.E,Sepl. 9.—There were more
people in this city to-day than has ever beenclaimed for a public celebration before. Itis estimated that there were between 4(>00and COOO strangers here. Allwero well re-ceived and well entertained. The specialfeatures arranged for by the Admission DayCommittee, in addition to tho usual pro-gramme, consisted of an Indian barbecueand a representation of the emigrant mas-sacre by Indians, and the subsequent cap-ture of the Indians by soldiers, and nn il-luuiiuated bicycle parade. All were pro-nounced great successes beyond iho mo-tsanguine expectations of the originators.Immense crowds from Woodlaud, GrassValley, Nevada City and other near-bypoints witnessed the festivities, whichclosed this evening with a hall.
AT EUREKA.Eureka, Sept. —

At the close of the Chairman's addressmany other addresses were made.
The Committee on Kesolutions reported aplatform wliicn assails thu liquor tr.iflic inthe usual manner, and calls for its absolutesuppression; denounces high license or anylicense, and demands the dissolution ofpartnership now existing between the Gov-ernment, State and national, nnd the rumpower; points out to the stiDporters of mis-sions that the port of Boston is f oremosi inthe exportation of rum to "darkest Africa,"nnd t!i;it the trallic has doubled during thepast year.
The seventh plank is as follows: "Wedeplore the depth of degradation to whichthe national Department of State hasdescended in becoming a 'drummer' inforeign lands for the beer loids of thiscountry. Add to this other facts— the refusalto unile with other nations in a treaty forthe suppression of the slave trade and therum Iraflic in Africa, a President whofinds five kinds of wine necessary for hisotlicial banquets, a Vice-Presiiient who ap-plies for a. liquor license for his '.Shorehaui,'a Senate that will not banish the bar-roomfrom its wihfMot Ihe Capitol, and a Housethat strangles all inquiry into the facts ofthe liquor trnllic—and we have perfect dem-onstration* of the complete domiuancy ofthe rum power in our national affairs and of.the slavish subserviency of our public ser-vants to its behests.
THE REMEDIES PROPOSED.Thn remedies which the party proposes
are: The, prohibition by Mate and nationalauthority of the manufacture, importationand exportation, transportation, or sale ofalcoholic beverages, and the election nnd np-poiutinent of officials—executive, legislativeand judicial—in sympathy with, and willen tone prohibition.

Rochester (X. T.). Sept. 9.—
The Re-publican State Convention met to-day.Crowds of delegates and visitors are in theelty. A prominent fact realized last nightis the cordial unanimity of the friends ofThomas C. Platt and Warner Miller. Theline of faction division seems to have fadedaway, although up to .the present time itwas known that Platt favored Andrew D.White's candidacy.
Atnoon General Knapp, Chairman of theState Committee, called the convention toorder. He spoke briefly, and hla referenceto "the matchless man from Maine" was re-ceived with terrific and prolonged applause.He said success this year means successnext year, whether the party was led by thesoldier and statesman now occupyiug theexecutive chair or by that matchless manfrom Maine. At this therii was wild andtumultnus applause and cheering. Someone proposed three cheers for Jame3 G.Blame, and they were given with a vim.
CHAIRMAN GOOUKICU'S ADDRE33.
W. W. Goodrich was then chosen tempo-rary Chairman. On taking the chair hemade an able address. He pointed witllpride to the record of the Republican partysince its foundation, and said: "Four yearsof Democratic rule hnd convinced the people
of th« duty of reculline the partial powerconferred upon that party, which has beenon the wrong side ever since the days w henIt championed the extension of humanslavery into the free territory of the North-west. Atili«la»t uleolUm, br>w»v«r. it againobtained a majority of the Lower House ofConuress. This was accomplished by acampaign of colossal lying and deception.II•• pointed with pride to the pure, saga-
clotu and conservative administration ofPresident Harrison ; to the growing com-merce of the country under reciDrocity withour American neighbors, induced by thematchless foresight o( lilmne, and to thonavy, already ranking with thosß of tlienther Brent maritime powers of the world.The speaker reviewed the tariff question atgreat length, mid spoke of the M KiuleyHIL Uron tlie subject of silver, lie snid:"Anhonest dollar for an bouost debt Wea ppland the courageous utterances of Presi-dent 11 .rn.-ou in his recent speech atAlbany."
CAMPAIOK OF EDUCATION.This is to be a campaign of education and
not of deception. The Republican partynever fears the investigation ot itsprinciples or its pra tices. The Democraticparty, like alizard, changes colors accordingto its environs. At the South it stands forprohibition; in the North for free rum;on the Pacific Coast and mountains it de-mands the free coinage of silver; in theOhio convention it adopted the Iree-coinageplank by a bare majority and pin- ,i a hardmoney man upon it; and at the K.nt it de-mands cold and silver coinage on an equalbasis.
OOVEKXOB niTX SCORED."We sorrowfully behold th- Governor of
this creat State as lie stand", like a modernColossus, one foot in the Executive Cham-ber at Albany and the Dihex in the SenateChamber at Washington, his hands grasp-ing the lever of the Democratic machine,which he controls by fillingpublic office*With his subservient tools, his eyes ureedilyfixed on the Presidential chair, in which hewill never sit; pandering to the liquor in-terest; playing with the question of honestmoney; cheating the laboring man by de-feating for years the Australian ballot sys-tem; obstructing the entire legislation ofthe State to prevent an Investigation of hispartisan water rets in the canal and risingto no higher a level than a ward politician.Verily the coming contest is that ofHlllisuigrafted on to Tammnuyism against thepolitical conscience of the voters of thiscommonwealth, and on such an issue weshall MiiiYrno defeat."
The usual committees were appointedand a recess taken until 2 this aftcruoon.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION*.When the convention reassembled this
nil,\u25a0in- on a permanent orcanization was ef-fected, with James M. Yarnum as Chair-man. He delivered an address of greatlonctli, the telling points of which were en-li.u-oasi:i \u25a0: i;y received. lie eulogized reci-procity anil the doings of the Republicanparty during its existence; spoke highly ofthe tariff, and in regard to finance said hawas confident the convention would nothecltute to proclaim In the clearest andmost emphatic terms its adherence to theprinciples of honest money, so ably nndwell expressed by President Harrison. Hetrusted, too, that the convention would nuthesitate to place itself on record in favor ofpractical and intelligent amendment to theBallot Reform Bill, so thoroughly emascu-lated and shorn of its Rood uses through themachinations of David 13. Hill; in favor ofsome more Intelligent and rational regula-tion of the tariff and of the protection ot tMCivil Service Reform laws.
Varnum paid his respects to the greatDemocratic octopus, Tammany Hall, whichnow holds the city of New York In itsgrasp and is preparing; to extend Its ten-tacles over the entire State. There was noroom for doubt as to the lelative volume ofthe applause when Vanium referred to thereciprocity policy of the Administration asthe work of Benjamin Harrison and espe-cially Secretary Blame. A generous out-burst greeted Harrison's name, while atumult arose when Blame's name was men-tioned. A cannon, just outside the hall wastired at the moment to swell the clamor.
