"Oct. 30--This has been a gala day for the people of this town and Kings county. The corner-stone of the new Courthouse was laid under the auspices of the Masonic Grand Lodge of California, Grand Master Lucas, being present. In the forenoon there was alarge parade of all the secret orders, headed by a band. Great crowds were present from all surrounding towns. There were literary exercises at the operahouse this afternoon, and Hon. E.T. Gosper of Tulare made a brilliant address. This was followed by a parade of the Princes of the Orient, 200 strong, in full uniform, and a peculiar corner-stone ceremony by that mysterious order."
