AT THE PAVILION.
The attendance at the Pavilion when
the exercises commenced was very slim
indeed. Beyond the visitors and the Off
GERS of the evening there were not more
than 100 people within the building, and
the array of empty seats must have been
rather a damper on the ardor of the
organizers of the affair. The President
OF the evening was to have been the
Hon. H. H. Markham, but he was un.
able to attend, go General Rawlings was
chosen in his stead, and had for his staff
the following Vice-Presidents:
w. N. Monroe, General Mansfield, j. E. Nc

I: K. Lewis and Col NJ. T. Owens, about half
OF whom, however. were not present.
Messrs. G. w. Pendleton, F. A. Gibson
and Thomas A. Cook took their seats as
secretaries, and the exercises commenced
with an overture by Meine Bros. band,
which was seated in the body Of the
hall. The banner occupied prominent
position IN the center of the stage, and is
a very fine piece OF work, massive as we'll
as handsome, being 6 by 81 feet in size.
The customary introduction of the presi-
dent OF the evening was made by Chair.
man W. N. Monroe, by whose side was
seated May or-elect John Bryson, Sr,,
and General Rawlings in his turn intro,
duced the Hon. Noble Hamilton, Chair
man of the Alameda delegation, who
made the delegation speech. He said
that Alameda yielded up without envy
the honor of being the banner Republi-
can county of the State, and he congratu-
lated Los Angeles on becoming the DOS.
SCISSOR OF the trophy.
General Rawlings made the speech of
acceptance, and said that the Orc Fino
Club would always follow in the wake Of
the banner and the Union League would
come next. This remark had an effect
that the speaker little anticipated, as the
members of the Union League feel very
sore about it. They say that the Orc
Fino Club pushed itself forward to take
the honors of the affair, but the Union
League had to bear the expenses con.
nected with the visit of the delegation.
The next part of the programme was
by Miss Metzler, who sang the "Star.
Spangled Banner" in Charming man.
ner. Speeches by General Pile, Judge
Carpenter and Frank B. Kelly we're then
in order, and the proceedings closed with
three cheers for the visitors.
THE BANQUET.
The banquet was the best of it all. It
was served in the California Club rooms,
and the menu was gotten up with all the
skill Of which the steward was capable.
The dining-rooms were haudacmelv
