carefully over the details of their prepara-
tons.
The meeting Of the Entertainment Com
mittee was the most important one, for it
has been some time since it could 60 at
work. owing to the fact that its recommen-
dation on fireworks to the General Commit
tee had been acted adversely upon.
AT the appointed time, for the first time
in weeks, the full committee was present,
much to the joy of Chairman Bert. A
committee from the Veteran Firemen, COM
prising X. j. Avery, Captain Robert Cleary
and w. Ii. Davis, who were appointed to
confer on the subject of arrangements for
the night parade Of September 9th, was
received.
The committee stated that at least 200 of
the veteran Firemen of this city and sixty
Veteran Firemen from Portland, Oregon,
would be in the parade. In the discussion
OF arrangements the idea that the
night parade would be too large for
the Entertainment Committee to ham
ole aud do it justice, an idea which it
has held for some time, was fully demon
strated, and the committee decided to rec
ommend to the General Committee at this
evenings session that the Parade. or a spe-
cial committee appointed for the purpose.
take charge of the parade.
Communications from artists of every
class. who pr0ffer their aid to the Native
Sons celebration, were referred to the
Committee on Literary Exercises. 1t was
also decided to give a promenade concert
between each tableau.
THE OFFER WAS DECLINED.
The offer of Messrs. Andrew & McBurnie
to give an entertainment at the Grand OPP
era House and pay over IS per cent of the
proceeds to the Native Sons fund on con-
dition that they will canvass for the sale of
tickets was declined with thanks, as such
a canvass is not reished.
A communication was read from the
California Drill Corps, who offered its
services as escort to the September 9th
parade. The offer was referred to the
special committee to be appointed. Bids
from the Los Angeles Fireworks aud Cali
fornia Fireworks companies were presented
and acted upon, but the action of tie COM
mittee will not be made public until its re-
port is handed in tonight to the General
Committee.
The Committee on Invitation also held

Castro and the Mexican Veterans. A COM
mittee was appointed to prepare a formal
invitation to each one included in the above
list.
The committee on literary exercises held
very short meeting last night at which it
was found that matters are so near being
systematized in its department as to make
1t possible to complete the programme
within week.
A meeting of the Past Presidents of the
order was held at the Teading-rO0ms Of the
Native Sons on Fourth street and an organi-
zation was effected. Next Sunday morning

TIE REGATTA.
The subjee4 of the regatta is still being
agitated on the water front, aud the effort
to unite il one demonstration is bearing
fruit.
The Subcommittee on Yachting has
elected its officers. c. G. Yale was elected
President and K. II. Cation Secretary
Committees on time allowance. classifica-
ton, outside vessels, ishing-smacks and
stake-boats were appointed.
Agitation among the bnatmen has ey-
tended to the whitehall boatmen. They
complain that they have not been given an
equal chance in the awards to be made for
merit in the regatta, and they ask that n
subcommittee be appointed to look after
them. or some committee already created
be instructed to comprise them in their lists.
They say that as 1t is the most prominent
feature Of the regatta it will be taken up by
foreign ships crews and that native ma
terial will stand no show. w. Fl. Thornly
has interested himself in their behalf and
proposes to have the Native Sons on the
water front recognized by the Committee
on Regatta.
