committee claimed that their efforts were
praiseworthy, they should be recognized by
the Executive Committee, and all arrange
mentS for the celebration should be made
with view of leaving the afternoon to the
military company. In their efforts they
were backed by the best sentiment of the
city, who recognized the company as being
composed of
LIVE, ACTIVE, ENERGETIC BUSINESS MEN.
They said the company deserved some
thing from Sacramento. Last December
they claimed that they took hold of the
company, which was then composed of a
lot of deadheads, just in time to save its
being mustered out of service, which
would have reduced our regiment, of which
every citizen may well feel proud, to a
battalion. At that time the company was
several hundred dollars in debt. the uni
forms and equipments old and almost
worn out. They had infused new life into
the company filled its ranks with our best
citizens raised some 81, 600, renovated their
armory, made it one of the finest
assembly-rooms in the State, and
had equipped the company almost anew.
They claimed that they were still lacking
in uniforms having only fatigue dress,
and this entertainment was intended for
the purpose Of raising funds to purchase
dress coats so the company could make q
good appearance at the annual State en-
campment. The committee suggested that
the parade take place in the forenoon,
THE LITERARY EXERCISES IN THE EVENING,
Just before the display of fireworks or
promenade concert.
Chairman Blessing assured the commit
tee that the efforts of Company L were
highly appreciated by the Executive Com
mittee and by the people throughout the
city generally. 1t would be the aim of the
committee, so far as it was in their power,
TO arrange the exercises so as not to conflict
in any way with the proposed entertain
ment at Agricultural Park. So far the
Finance Committees had not started
OUT ON THEIR COLLECTING TOUR,
And nothing definite could be proposed or
promised until after they had reported.
H. NJ. Bernard said the people in the
lower part of the city complained that all
the attractions were up town, and they
asked that the committee take into consid-
Grafton the propriety OF giving a boat race
on the river.
