Berkeley, May 1 1900.
Today is Mayday! Miss Florence Mayhew remarked this morning how
delightful a festival it was; there were no duties to perform, no church
to go to, no gifts to make--a festival of pure pleasure.

And it is celebrated among the trees--at least always in California.
The groves of native trees--particularly of Valley Oaks--in little vales,
are preferred places. There, beforehand, a dancing platform is erected
and for the afternoon games are arranged.
Some old Spanish feats wih horses were engrafted upon the Americano's California Mayday!
