Yesterday afternoon the committees on

met in joint session in Pioneers Hall to
look into the particulars of the coming
celebration, as detailed and worked out by

Taylor and II. B. Russ Of the Pioneers and
NJ. A. Dorm, G. l.. Tilden, John H. Grady
and DIR. G. w. Decker of the Native Sons
were present
After a lengthy discussion of the details
Of each department, the joint Conference
Committee decided to issue invitations to
the various pioneers and their organizations
throughout the State.
This meeting the Native Sons regard as
fair initiation into the work of making
the celebration feature for the older as
we'll as the young people of the State The
Sons do not regard with favor the idea that
the Pioneers have OF giving banquet. if
they are to look upon it as a side effort.
They think that the proposed celebration,
as outlined, is elaborate enough to give the
Native Sons and Pioneers all they can do
to make it a success, and all "side efforts"
the Pioneers will come into line and advo-
cate in toto all their plans instead of patch
ing up a truce; and while they know that
some such undertaking on the part of the
Pioneers must result, they want it to be in
corporated in their programme.
ENCOURAGEMENT FROM NAPA.
Henry Hogan, Grand Trustee of the or
der of Native Sons, and a member of Napa

Joint committee yesterday afternoon, and
reported progress in Napa County,
He said that at a meeting of his parl0r,
held last Friday evening, acommittee. COM
posed of Frank l.. Combs. Henry c. Ges-
ford and himself, was appointed to devils
ways and means for an excursion from Ma
pa Valley, with the three parlors of the
county and their friends aboard, to San
Francisco, to attend the celebration.
"Our committee has," said Mr.. Hogan,
$50 act in conjunction with committee,
comprising Charles Vann and E. Galousky,
of the st. Helena ParlOr. and a committee
from Calistoga, which has not yet been ap-
pointed.
I'VE jointly purpose to charter train,
and perhaps a steamer, to deliver US in San
Francisco. There is now movement on
foot to have all the merchants close during
the celebration, to give their clerks, nearly
all of whom are Native Sons, chance to
| come.
lin the procession we are going to have
| what have not seen reported from any
other parlor-slX of the original Bear Flag
party. Their names are Cal. Griffiths, Will
| lam Baldrich, John York, Henry Porter
| field, William Hargrave and Henry Fowl er.
l would like to suggest that every member
of that party be brought up and put into
line"
ONE FACTOR LOST SIGHT OF.
While the eyes of the public are upon the
| Pioneers and Native Sons, another factor
in making the occasion of celebration one
Daughters cannot hustle" about as do
their stronger brothers. but their work is
none the less patriotic and pursued with not
a whit less OF interest.
Between the parlors there is gentle
rivalry, which is being pushed in silence.
| They are trying to Outshne each other in
| the decorations and taoleauX, and, as a
natural sequence, the public may prepare
| itself to be agreeably surprised at the
| beauty of the designs of some OF the booths.
Each of the four local parlOrs will have a
| booth in the Pavilion, and united as we'll as
individual efforts will go to make them not
! only attractive but charming. Besides, the
| Native Daughters have been given full
sway on the stage. and the tableaux to be
| given are, il indications 90 for aught, TO De
the best ever given in this city.
| The Native Sons are to be congratulated
ilIpon the enthusiasm and continuity of pur-
pose their fair sisters and others sisters
are evincing in their behalf under the
leadership of the chivalrous George ii.
