In the third scene we have a buffalo hunt, the hunter holding a lasso in his hand, and then there is the dying buffalo. Succeeding this we have a domestic scene--fruits and wheat--and a reaper in 1848. We then note bronze-medallions of Sutter, James Lick, Fremont, Drake, the American Flag, and Serra. Moreover on this central monument we have the names of Stockton, Castro, Vallejo, Marshall, Sloat, Larkin, Cabrillo-Portalo. Then the date, "Erected A.D. 1894. Dedicated to the City of San Francisco by James Lick." The scenes on the four monuments around the central one are--First, the finding of gold in "'49"--three miners. Second, a figure with an oar. Third, Early Days. Indian with bow and arrow. Pioneer with saddle and lasso. A Franciscan preaching. Fourth, a figure crowned with wheat, apples in right hand, and the Horn of plenty with various fruits in the left hand. The monument bears this inscription, near the base--Whyte and De Rome, Founders. Frank Appersberger, Sculptor. In front of this most interesting monument is a cannon that has a history. Near the head of this instrument of destruction is the legend, _Pluribus nec Impar_. On the body of the cannon we read Le Prince De Conde. _Ultima Ratio Regum_. Louis Charles De Bourbon--Comte D'Eu., Due D'Aumale. A Douay--Par T. Berenger. Commissionaire. Des Fontes Le 23 Mars, 1754. The cannon is made of bronze, has a coat of arms, and is otherwise ornamented. It has two handles in the shape of dragons. It is twelve feet long. But it has another inscription in which we are deeply interested. This is in English, and reads as follows: "Captured at Santiago De Cuba, July 17, 1898, by the Fifth Army Corps, U.S. Army, Commanded by Major General William R. Shafter, and presented by him to the City of San Francisco, California, in trust for the Native Sons of the Golden West, and accepted as a token of the valor and patriotism of the Army of the United States."
