Work of Canyassing.

speeches Must Be Short and Pointed.

AS is well known, preparations on large
scale are being made for the Admission
day celebration by the Native Sons of the
Golden West. Circulars are being sent out
to every parlor in the State by the various
committees, and it is thought that soon re-
plies from the parlors will be returned, so
that work on solid basis may be taken up.
So far the proceedings of the committees
have only been such as to ascertain what
and how much of everything imaginable
will be needed.
The two most active committees are those
on hall and accommodations and on decor
atoms. The Committee ON Souvenirs has
already contracted for the issuance of the
souvenir-a book of at least ITO pages, and
at present is engaged in receiving adver-
tisements. The Bulletin Committee has
sent out couple Of circulars submitted to
it by the Committee on Hall and Accemmo-
datl0ns.
QUESTIONS PRoPoUNDED.
In the first circular issued, and after ex-
planning that the term headquarters" is
distinct. and does not inclnde accommoda-
tons, but places for the receiving and en-
PERTAINING of friends and visitors during the
celebration, the committee asks for informa-
ton and propounds the following questions
Do you desire Headquarters? Have you any
preference as TO locality? Row IN any members
OF your parlor do you expect 10 attend the cele-
bratIon? DO you desire 10 fix limit on cost OF
headquarters or make any suggestions o as ~ TO
hibt of any kind? If so, give nature OF exhibit,
and estimate OF SPACE and accommodations re-
quired therefor? Have you determined TO join
or combine with any other parlor on headquar-
ters?
The circular states that it has been deter
mined to devote both Monday and Tuesday
September 9Th and 9TH, tow ard the cele-
bration, and Sunday preceding September
7th) will also be devoted to informal recep-
lions.
The second circular issued, which is now
being sent out, gives a list of the leading
hotels, twenty in number, and quotes the
rates at each for person desiring room to
himself, for married couples, and for suites.
The prices quoted are those pledged to be
held during the celebration by the hotels.
PARADE AND DECORATIONS.
The Parade Committee, at meeting held
on last Tuesday night al pa kearny street,
discussed the route in general, but did not
take official action upon the matter. 1t was
decided to leave the matter of aids to the
judgment Of the Grand Marshal, Captain G.
l.. Tilden.
The Committee on Decorations, at a meet
ing held on Wednesday night, arrived at an
understanding of the general expense of its
department. 1t was found that the cost of
decorating the streets will amount to about
$4,000. The decorations will consist Of
the American and bear bunting flags
stretched across the street at each block the
entire distance of the route of the pro-
cession, besides which considerable rustic
work will be displayed. The pavilion will
be decorated in the same manner. A
proposition to make an award Of 500 to the
one who decorated his house the most
gayly and tastefully, and S75 and $50 to the
second and third best, was spoken of in the
meeting held by the Decorating Committee,
but no action was taken.

offered the use of rooms 7, s, 8 ard 10,
facing on Market and Montgomery streets,

ton. In the mean time, the joint committee
will meet at Pioneer Hall, which has been
