Nasser, will meet his Aids at The reading
room of the Capital Hotel at o'clock this
evening when all the details of the morn

sent to neighboring cities and towns, and
it is safe to say that every portion of the
Sacramento valley will be represented in
the Capital City on that day
The Chico Enterprise of Saturday says:
las there is to be no Fourth of July cele-
brati0n IN Butte county, and as Sacramento
IS 10 have unusual attractions this year, we
hear of q number who would like to 90
down there. We would throw out the
hint to the Sacramento people to endeavor
to secure round-trip tickets Single fare for
their celebration from all the points north
of that city, and that the cars be held at
Sacramento for the return at as late an
hour as possible. We believe that this
arrangement would induce many to go
down. There is no celebration north of
Sacramento, except in Shasta, this year,
and many patriotic citizens would like to
enjoy the day somewhere"

day sports and return to their home the
same evening.

embrace a grand forenoon procession, the
decoration Of the city, salutes, Grafton,
music, and patriotic allegorical floats and
spectacles. In the afternoon a river re-
gatta of great promise, and for which many
clubs from abroad are already entered. At
night a grand spectacular display, by the
Mardi Gras Association, with allegorical
floats and richly decorated cars. There are
great many who have announced their
intention of going down and would like TO
see the day exercises and return for the
dedication ball in the evening, but as no
train can be procured or the regular one
delayed until after the regatta, it is at pres
ent very doubtful If there will be many
The following appeared in the RECORD
