OLD SAcEAMENTAHs.-At a meeting of
the Invitation Committee Of the floral fes-
tival and testimonial, held yesterday, it
was resolved to extend cordial invitation
10 all old Sacramentans not now resident
in this city to attend the festival of May
9th and make il an old-time reunion and
JOYOUS social event that will be written
down as q red-letter day in our history.
With this in view, it is the desire of the
committee TO obtain at once the
names and present address Of all
persons who have been for some
wears Sacramentans, but are now resi-
dent elsewhere. The people are therefore
requested to aid the committee by forward
ing such names and addresses as each of
our people can recall to the Secretary, l..
P Martin, 7. Q. box III, or at the Office Of
J. y. Porter No matter how distant these
old SaCramentans may now be, II IS the
intention to forward an invitation to every
one az a token of good will and kindly re-
meInbrance. Large numbers are in San
Francisco and others in interior towns of
the State, but no one person can recall all
the names. 1t is, therefore, hoped that the
people will to their utmost aid the COM
Inittee in ascertaining to just whom invita-
lions may be sent. The invitation will be
handsomely gotten up, and in itself will be
q souvenir of what promises to be one of
the most hearty and whole-souled reun-
ions.
