Some three months ago a special order
was placed by E company with a San
Francisco importing firm for an invoice of
Japanese daylight fireworks. The COM
pany has lust received notification of
their arrival The invoice consists of fifty
pieces of assorted designs. They are to be
sent off at Agricultural Park on the after
noon of July 4th, and are to be part of
Z company's programme for that occasion.
As this is the first shipment of daylight
fireworks ever brought to Sacramento, there
will no doubt be much curiosity to see
what they are like. 1t is claimed that they
are entirely different from fireworks made
in other countries. After ascending from
800 to $50 feet in the air an explosion takes
place, and various figures, such as japanese
parasols, flags, umbrellas, etc, come forth
and float through the air In addi-
ton to the novelty of daylight
fireworks another new feature has
been provided for in the way of a three
heat race between Professor Robinson on
his bicycle and a three-minute trotting
horse. These attractions, together with the
monster balloon ascension, competitive
military drill, baseball match between the
Atlas and Unions, sack races, and obstruc-
ton races, and other amusements, should
afford all who attend an afternoon Of rare
interest and enjoyment.
LOST HIS PRESENCE OF MIND.-Chief of
Police Jackson returned yesterday from
few days stay in San Francisco. Being
still obliged to use crutches in getting
around, he frequently found himself in
more or less difficulty. Last Sunday, for
instance, he crossed the bay on the ferry,
and was descending from the saloon to the
main deck very carefully, when the boat
brought up against the pier with such
jar that he was thrown from his crutches,
clutched at something to break the fall,
partially succeeding, and the next second
found him lying upon his back on the
deck, his legs and arms gathered up like
those of a crab. He got Jared somewhat,
but was greatly pleased with the result, as
he had succeeded, in consequence of the
tucking-up operation, in saving his game
leg. OF course the passengers were alarmed
by the rattle and crash caused by the fall
ing of the crutches, the Chief and his big
badge and they gathered around to render
assistance, some young ladies being espec-
tally sympathetic. One gentleman hastily
inquired, Hadn't better get you a little
something at the bar? you must feel faint,
but the Chief had lost his presence of mind
completely, and declined
MUSEUM ASSOCIATION MEETING. - The
regular monthly meeting of the Museum
Association is to be held at the Z. b.
Croker Art Gallery this evening. The
monthly essay will be read by Fred. f.
Ray, explanatory of the possibilities, pleas
ures and benefits of the Physics Section of
the Association. There is great urgency
that all life and active members shall at
tend. 1t is needed that they come out and
take up the question Of the plans of the
Association. Scores of people are now
ready to engage in It's work, and only wait
the action Of the membership, the Di-
rectors having been doing all the work
possible in the time they can give, but it IS
needed that the members now come out
and put the machinery at command in
motion. Everything is ready at its hand,
and the broadest and most deeply interest
ing and charming work opens before the
Association. The Directors request the
press to especially urge the membership to
attend tonight. The general public is in
vited to attend and give the society the
encouragement of its presence.
