Sacramento yesterday received 900 del
egates of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie and 500 guests accompanying them.
She entertained, besides, 1000 guests from
sections adjacent to Sacramento.
AT this late hour and in the unwonted
press Of matter upon our columns, we are
compelled to be exceeding brief But it is
only necessary to say that Sacramento's
effort to entertain-if we are to judge by
the expressions of our guests-was an emf
nent success. Before we enter upon any
detailed account of yesterdays proceed
ings we deem it best to announce
To-DAY's PROGRAMME.

until the last guest has called.

to Natoma vineyard. Tickets have been
issued, and will be issued, to the visiting
Grand Army guests from the East, and
their accompanying friends, sufficient to fill
TIE train provided. These excursionists to
one of the chief vineyards of the world
will be returned to the city by 1870 P. NJ,
SO that they will have time to attend all
other receptions. On the return of this

wish to visit that famous building will
have but one block to walk.

Special trains for San Francisco will
leave at and P NJ, so that all our guests
can spend the day with US and reach San
Francisco early in the evening.
YESTERDAY.
The Kansas delegation, with the splendid
military baud and drum corps, arrived in
Sacramento Tuesday evening. All day
yesterday they were entertained, and they
say, right royalty.
Grand Army delegates arrived yesterday
on all regular trains, so that fully 500 were
in the city by 2 P. NJ, and were received at
headquarters and at the Crocker Art Gal
Iery and provided with ample refreshment
At about $50 P. NJ. the
SPECIAL TRAIN
Arrived with the great mass of the guests
swelling the total number in the city to
about 1900. Many of these took convey
ances at once to the Pavilion, because they
were tired, but the bulk of the party were
formed in line by Grand Marshal McNasser.
and escorted by the First Artillery Regi-
rnent and Band, Sacramento Hussars, local
Posts of the Grand Army, the Topeka
Band, the Capital Bard and the Lincoln
Post Drum Corps to the Pavilion.
THERE WAS GREAT CRUSH
There, of course, but order was presently
brought out of what threatened to be con-
fusion, and all went well. The Vice Chair
man found great mass of people suddenly
thrust upon him to dispose in line, whom
he expected to arrive in an orderly line,
this being due to the number who came in
dependently but he succeeded presently
admirably in getting all seated, and then
formed the line of special guests, who, to
the music of the Artillery Band, marched
to the central table amidst the applause of
the people.
