Chinatown became a pandemonium of “music” and firecrackers, the joss-house was the scene of extraordinary rites, anda great feast was served in honor of the Grass Valley contingent. One heathen in American dress brought out a phonograph that was loaded with reproductions of Chinese music. A thousand or more Caucasians had assembled: by two o'clock to see the fun. A space was cleared, half a dozen Chinese entered the lists as candidates and the so-called election began. Eight mortar bombs that went up a bundred feet or so were fired heavenward one after the other. Seven of these were blanks, one containing an iron.ring the captor of which would be subsequently declared the winner of the priestship. The fourth bomb discharged happened to have the ring in it and as it descended there was a spirited scramble among the contestants to capture it. Sing Lip was the lucky man: There was n0 struggle after that, and the crowd quickly dispersed.
