The Committee on Domestic Hospitality
has not met with the success anticipated
from the fact that the public generally
does not seem to understand what is re-
quired. Many have spare rooms and ac-
commodations which they would willingly
give up for that night. when they properly
understand the desire of the committee
IN order to place the matter clearly before
the public the committee has issued the
following address
10 The HouSeholiers Of Sacramento: On the 18th
of August great number of Eastern visitors to
the Grand Encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic Will come to Sacramento ON the
invitation of the ctizt of this city and county

OF the county will be arranged, and liberal con-
tributions Of money are subscribed voluntarily
and with great generosity to make the visit of our
guests from all parts Of the country an occasion
fully expository of tie capabilities of our soil
aud climate Provision has been also made for
the entertainment of the strangers while with
Us. But one thing more is necessary to
send all over the grea. East an Introduction
of Sacramento that viii make her
known and remembered for its cordiality Ref
erenee is made to the prOpriety and necessity OF
providing our guests with lodgings While with
Us. To do this the General Committee would be
called upon for q far larger expenditure than It
IS possible for them to afford. Therefore the
committee appeal to and earnestly urge the
families of the city to make room for as many of
the visitors as possible at their homes. Thus
they will become better acquainted with us
than any mere formal reception can possibly
accord. To this end, and further to the end
that nothing shall be wanting 10 make Sacra-
mento Day a complete success. the General
Committee issue this appeal TO householders OF
the city. To this end the Committee on Domes-
tic Hospitality has entered upon IT'S duties, aud
before its labors are completed will call upon
all the hOuseh0lders Of the city. upon whose
hospitality sill depend the success of this feat
ure of Sacramento Day.
