business.
Statutes will be fired morning and even
ing by Company B, of the First Artillery
Regiment.
| There will be a procession in the fore
noon. embracing cavalcade of Aids, the
military, mounted police, the fire depart
ment. uniformed civic societies, several
| allegorical cars, Grand Army of the Repub-
| lie. Society of California Pioneers, Native
Sons of the Golden West, Veterans of the
| Mexican War, State, county and city of
| ficials, Patrons of Husbandry, bands, drum
! corps, Band of Hope, orphan asylum chill
| dren, and other organizations, and several
| special features.
The procession will move through the
principal streets, and finally reach the new
| Exposition building where the line will
| countermarch and be dismissed.
Immediately the literary exercises will
| take place in the new Exposition Hall,
where arrangements have been perfected
| for seating vast audience There will be
an Grafton by Hon Henry EdgertOn,
poem by Colonel J. ]. Ayers, reading of the
Declaration" by Hon. ellis Doty, prayer
| by Rev A j. Frost, music by the First Ar
| tillery band.
| At the close of these exercises there will
| be an interval long enough TO allow the
| center of the lower floor to be cleared OF
benches, after which a programme will be
| carried out, very nearly as follows:
Chorus, giving national airs by seven
| hundred children under direction of Prof.
j. L. Skinner This singing will be dis
| tributed through the programme of enter
tainment. A sack race will be engaged in
by large number of competitors for three
| cash prizes of 49, 81 and 50. Then will
| follow a slow bicycle race, by members of
| the Sacramento Bicycle Club, for silver
medals. 4 Hungarian chariot race will
follow, new and amusing feature, which
needs to be seen to be appreciated, and it is
intended to be mirthful and grotesque.
| Then will follow an international foot
race, embracing representatives OF all ma
| tionalities, not even excepting John
! Chinaman."
A tug of war will follow between two
| groups Of young men, one Of whites and
one of colored youths.
| There will be given new game, The
Blind Mans Guess" an amusing and ex-
citing contest, that involves the sense Of
| location and tests its development fully.
In one wing of the hall the Grand Army
of the Republic, represented by the two
| Posts in Sacramento, will have a regular
army camp During the intervals in the
programme the old soldier boys will, as
| accurately as possible, represent camp life
and dramatically live over the activities of
| life on the tented field This is expected to
| be an interesting, instructive and highly
entertaining feature. 1t will probably rob
| the fancy of some of the poetry of a SOL
dier's life, but the Grand Army members
intend that it shall neither exaggerate nor
misrepresent the reality of army expert
ence in camp.
iIBetween the numbers of the programme
the Artillery Band will play choice selec-
tons of music.
All the games and contests will be under
direction Of D. DeBernardi, while the whole
entertainment will be under charge of the
Amusement Committee. The purpose is
to amuse by games, instruct by the army
drama, and delight with the music.
In the hall there will be ample refresh
ments provided-ice cream and lemonade
stands, refreshment and luncheon tables,
| etc-mainly under charge of ladies Of the
| Orphan Asylum Association and for the
| benefit of that institution.
The Pavilion will be open without charge
to all who come, and the building will ac-
commodate from $1,000 to 10000 people in
positions enabling them to see the games.
| The amusements will conclude about
o'clock
Al dark-as dark as the moon will per-
mit-an exhibition of fireworks will be
made on the ground about midway be-
tween the Capitol and the Exposition build
ing, and the pieces will face westwmdly.
Decoration of buildings has already be
gun, and the outlook promises display
on the streets fully up to that of any pre-
| ceding year.

D. 0. MILLS FoRTUsE-Thc report tele-
graphed from New York some days since,
| giving the story of q Herald reporter touch
| ing the career of Commodore Garrison, the
Salt Lake Tribune says, is not in all respects
| correct. " He was a great friend Of w. c.
RalSton-Ralston having for a long time
| been agent for his steamship line; but Gar
rison never aided d. O. Mills in the build
ing of his fortune. Mr.. Mills began max
ing his great fortune as u banker in Sacra-
mento, when there was much gold dustsold,
and bankers, as a rule, did not lose money
| in buying it. And when at last the crash
| came to Ralston it was not the fault of Mr..
| Mills: and if Mills failed in generosity he
certainly did not in justice to him. Very
few people know how grandly Mills and
specially the latter-acted in that
terrible crisis TO cover up and make good
| the losses which the venturesOmc but great
hearted Ralston had made. And COmmO-
dore Garrison never used any singing
words TO D. o. Mills; or, if he did, he
took them back when he knew the facts;
and we are quite sure that Mills has never
sought revenge for what was said for he
is not man who nurses TcvengeS. He is
simply a cold business man. who keeps his
promises and expects all other men to do
the same. If he is vindictive, no one has
ever accused him of it in the West. His
idea is that mans chief business III this
world IS to make money, and that TO make
it, and to keep his business always in hand
he must not vary from a straight line of ac-
ton; must do what he says, when he says
and must deal only with men who do bust
ness in that way The result is that while
he has about the largest fortune ever accu-
INFLATED in the West, nc had it under per
feet control and we do not believe there i
a man East or West who can tuthtully say
he ever went back on his word or failed in
any way 10 keep IN agreement
New Use FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTs.-Ilale
Bros. d Co. are making many changes in
and around their stores but do not allow
the carpenters and brickmasons to get in
the wav Of their customers. How they do
il is this: They have put up electric lights
in such manner rs To furnish all the light
necessary, and the work is thus carried on
at night as well as day. For instance
The entire sidewalk in front of their
premises was taken up last night,
and this morning a new one is found
laid, but workman nowhere in sight.
4 reporter interviewed some of the work
men last evening, and they declared they
could do their work quite as we'll ut night
hv the aid of the electric light rs they
could in the day time, and ut this season of
the wear it is much cooler. Weinstock &
Imbin have let contract to +. \. Bower
for the erection Of new building III the
rear of their store, to cost $4,000, and 10 be
finished bv September lst 1t is understood
that large portion of this work will be
done at night by the light of the electric
lamp.
