state Democratic Convention.
Arrangements have been completed
for the entertainment OF the delegates
to the State Democratic Convention
which will meet in this city next week,
Members of the Committee Of Ar
rangements will proceed to Newhall
on every train from the time the dele
gates commence to arrive until all are
here. These members will receive
the visitors, arrange for the proper
disposition Of their baggage and see
that they are properly housed. 1t is
expected that all the delegation will
be here in time for the opening of the
Convention, which is set for 10 O'Clock
on Tuesday morning, at the Pavil
ion. The morning hours will be
devoted to business, and for the after
noon an excursion is planned for
Santa Monica. The train will leave
the Commercial street depot at 80
o'clock promptly, and will stay at
Santa Monica long enough to give the
visitors chance to view the beauties
of the Southern sea coast. The Con-
vention will meet again on Wednes-
day morning at 10 o'clock for business,
and at 2 O'Clock another excursion
will be run to Monrovia, where q stay
of one and a half hours will be made.
From Monrovia the visitors will be
taken to Pasadena, where another halt
of an hour and half will be made ,and
the return to this city will be effected
by half-past six o'clock. On both oc-
casions the Seventh Infantry Band
will accompany the excursionists.
The tickets for the excursions will be
given to the chairmen of the different
delegations and the visitors will be at
no expense.
The arrangements for the accommo-
dation of the delegates and others in
the Pavilion are about complete. |
Chairs will be arranged on theground
floor for the delegates and behind
these will be rows of benches for other |
invited guests. The first balcony will |
be reserved for ladies with escorts ex-
clusively and the second balcony will |
contain other invited guests. The in |
vitations or tickets of admi mission will |
be sent out by the Committee on Ar
rangements, first to those who have |
subscribed toward the payment of the
expenses of entertaining the visitors.
This list includes quite a number
of the prominent Democrats and
citizens and these will also accompany
the visitors on the excursions. While |
there has been quite a large |
surn collected toward the payment Of
the expenses, the committee states
that the amount is not sufficient, and
it requests that all who desire to con-
tribute call on Mr.. Sidney Lacey or on
Captain A. B. Barrett, who will re-
ceive them with kindly feeling.
The decoration OF the Pavilion will
be commenced to-day and it is in
tended to make this such a pleasant
place that the visitors will have moth
ing but praise for the accommodations
OF Los Angeles. Hotel Accommodations
are being provided as the requests for
the same are received, and the visitors
will experience no trouble or difficulty |
upon their arrival. The Committee
of arrangements has labored hard and
successfully and deserves much |
praise for its efforts to give the coming |
two thousand visitors good impress
sion of the metropolis of Southern |
California.
