interest manifested. Mayor Gregory Gale,

for which the call had been issued. TIL
| first business was the election of Chair

| OF the orphans, and accept the same and urge
the people to second their noble effort by thu

The Chair then called upon H. W. Hand
who has been instrumental in arrangins
the preliminaries of the proposed concert
to give the meeting an insight into wha
was being done and what was proposed
Mr.. Hand stated that on the occasion O
the ball a grand consolidated band of forty
musicians would be the leading feature
The music for the first part of the evening
Will be concert music of a classic order in
terspersed with medleys and music of {
lighter order. After the concert music
which will last from until half-past {
o'clock, will be dance music, and the fiool
will be prepared for those who wish to TRIP
the light fantastic toe.'
Several present thought that Armory
Hall, which has been kindly offered fol
the occasion, would be too small for the
an1iance tbat tuo1ld o,l II ,,o ~,
volume of music that will be rendered BY
the band would have too small compass tc
be best judged and appreciated. The new
pavilion, which has been rendered gratui.
tously, was thought to be about the proper
sized building. both for the music and 70,
the audience that will be sure to assemble
The cost of the entire affair will be merely
trifiing. The light will cost about $40 an
hour but the gas company has generously
signifed their intention of making a re-
duction of fifty per cent. on the amount
OF their bill. o. P. Dodge has kindly con.
sented to act as doorkeeper without fee OF
compensation, and the printers, A. J.
Johnston d. Co, in their usual liberal style
will print the tickets free of charge. Hale

will furnish programmes. The next mat.
ter was the appointment of committee Of

The date of this grand affair, which
should be most literally patronized by tn,
Sacramento public has not yet been def
nitely settled, but in all probability Satur
day evening, February 4, 1888, will be Sc
lected.
A musician foremost in this enterprise
informed a RECORD UNION representativ,
| last evening that the music to be PLAYED
| will be fully as good as that rendered BY
| Cappa's celebrated band, which appeared
in this city last September, and that those
who attend will be more than reimbursed
| by the fine musical treat. The dance music
| will be arranged to suit all tastes, and tn,
programme will be as lengthy as the mos
fastidious can desire.
DONATIONS.
Contributions TO the orphans fund con
| tinue to pour in from abroad, as well a.
| from home, very freely. Woodland anC
| Marysville, whose people are very friend,
| to Sacramento and Sacramento institu
tons, are raising a fund for the orphans
which will be forwarded to this city Satur
| day. Many old Sacramentans are abroad
| and when they hear the cry of distress
and the appeal for aid, will no doubt an
swer very literally, and it is not unlikely
that the fund within few days may reach
the snug little sum of ten thousand
dollars. Charles Crocker, well-knowr
throughout the State and once resident O
| this city, where he was engaged in bust
ness for many years, having heard the ap-
peal for aid,sent the following letter with
| check for $1,000, to a young lady OF thu:

brief account of the wants of the little
