SENATOR STANFORD.
sacramento's Welcome to Him and Mrs.
Stanford Tonight.

Arrangements have been completed for
the reception to be rendered to Senator and
Mrs. Stanford this evening by their Sacra-
mento friends. As outlined in these COL
umns yesterday, it will be in the nature of
greeting by the teachers and pupils of the
public schools, the parents OF the latter
and others of our citizens who desire to
show their appreciation of what the Sena-
tor and his wife have done in the cause of
education and for public charities. At the
meeting of the Committee of Arrangements
yesterday the following programme was
decided upon:
There will be no formal exercises. Music
will begin at 7:30 P. NJ. Committees assem-
BILE at 7:45 Pm.
Senator and Mrs. Stanford will arrive
about P. NJ, and remain an hour or so.
The committees will first be introduced,
and then parents and children and the
public.
The intent of this reception is to express
| thanks for the foundation of University
which is destined to be second to none,
| and which will confer untold benefits to
young scholars in California for centuries
to come.
The only child of our distinguished guests
| near the State Capitol, and was removed
from them by death in foreign land.
Ever since their hearts have been enlarged
to include all young people.
The Senator will continue, the same even
ing, his journey to Washington, where part
of his labors will consist of educational
matters affecting every State in the Union.
A full attendance of young people is
earnestly desired.

The Principals of the High and Gram
mar Schools have been asked, with the ap-
proval of the President of the Board of
Education, to meet with their pupils at
the Assembly Chamber at 7:30 o'clock this
evening, and thus be present at the recep-
ton rendered to Senator and Mrs. Stanford
As some of these may some day be teachers
and pupils in the Leland Stanford Jr Uni
versity, they will take pride in recalling
this occasion.
There will be meeting of ladies at the
State Library at 2 o'clock this afternoon to
complete certain details of the arrange
ments for the reception.
An open-air concert will be given in
| front of the Capitol during the evening,
commencing at 7:30 o'clock, aud the
grounds and building will be brilliantly
| illuminated.
| A special invitation is extended to the
| visiting Pioneers from New England
many of whom knew Senator Stanford here
in early days-to participate in the recep-
| ton.
The original plan had been for the Sena-
tor and his wife to arrive here about $50 P.
NJ, but last night Secretary Miller received q
telegram from Senator Stanford stating
that, if more agreeable to their friends
tere, he and Mrs. Stanford would change
their plans, take special train for Sacra-
mento and arrive here by o'clock in the
evening, instead of at $50. Mr.. Miller re.
piled, accepting the Senator's offer, hence
the reception will be held between 8 and 8
o'clock, instead of between $50 and 1890
| as had been fixed upon.
The change in the hour of holding the
reception will be most gratifying to hun
dreds of people, old and young, who might
otherwise have been prevented from greet
ing the distinguished guests of the evening.
Especially will it be agreeable to the
younger children, and it is hoped that they
may be permitted to assemble in as large
numbers as possible, as the occasion will
be one that they would long bear in mind.
