having raised from $1,000 to 1920. and ex-
poets much more. California Parlor has
over $500 ON hand, which has been received
from the committees work.
The impression has gone abroad that the
parlors have voted these sums to the Adj
mission-day fund, bnt that is not true. An
order from the Grand Parlor makes that an
impossibility. The only funds from each
parlor to be devoted to the Admssion-day
fund are 6 per cent of all the receipts from
July 1st until September 9th. That in the
richest parlOrs does not amount to more
than about $50.

full bidder but his name will not be made

last night at LOnghead's Hall on Polk
street by the Grand Parlor.
NATIVE DAUGHTERS AND OTHERS.
The Native Daughters held meeting
last night to arrange matters appertaining
to the tableaux to be given and the space
in the Pavilion.
The Alta Parlor of Native Daughters and
Ell Dorado Parlor Of Native Sons compro-
missed their differences by each agreeing to
take fifty feet on the Larkin-street side of
the Pavilion instead Of sixty each, which
was nm impossibility, since that space is
only 100 feet in length.
Orc Elmo Parlor, No. g. is very enthusi-
astic in its work, and, being stronger. has
taken hold of the arrangements with abil-
ity, which will soon draw them to close.
