ant Secretary of the General Committee.
Colonel Chamberlain, on behalf of the
officers of the General Committee, asked
permission for the removal of the head
quarters from the Grand Hotel at any mo-
ment they think best. He stated that his
reason for asking the privilege was in order
that the pride and the financial standing Of
the Native Sons could be sustained. 1t is
rumored that this move may have TO be
made on account of the standing the hotels
have taken on subscriptions.
THE ELABORATE TABLEAUX.
To carry out the elaborate tableauX pro-
posed by Manager Fitzgerald of the TiYoli
Theater for the Native Daughters, to be
held the night of the Sth of September, it

the Native Sons who think they fill the bill
will greatly oblige the Joint Committee of
Native Sons and Daughters by making ap-
plcation for the positions.

tertalnment last night, at which two hand
some flags were presented to the parlcr.

the name embroidered and emblems worked
in the center.
CAPTAIN SHORT TALKS.
Police Captain Short called at the head
quarters yesterday for information regard
ing the mounting Of his police detail. He
said
My experience is that horsemen are re-
quired to keep the crowd back. You will
require about twenty. The Chief of Police
has no fund to pay for extra horSemen.
Heretofore the men got their horses for So
apiece, making about 500, or S95, as | have
my own horse. If it is necessary TO have
more, l can obtain them the day before the
parade. On the Fourth of July man on
Sixth street furnished the horses, and one
of them fell down. OF course, | take some
pride in having my men properly mounted,
and do not wish anything of this kind to
| occur
The crowd, from all reports, l think
will be immense, and the celebration the
biggest San Francisco ever had. The crowd
will be thickest at LottA's Fountain and
arOup1 tla rluht nf tho at tho
general headquarters. When the process
sion goes up Montgomery street the crowd
will move to Lotta's Fountain and thence
! up to Sixth street.
For the evening of Saturday, September
| 9th, | shall need seven or eight special
mounted police. do not allow my officers
to strike citizens, and | never found club
| bling necessary in any parade"
