ALL READY FOR
SANTA CRUZ.
The Native Sons Celebration of
Admission Day.
About Sixteen Hundred Will Turn Out in
Tuesday Nights Parade-A Monster
Barbecue and ClamBake.

"Ho for Santa CruzW L. the cry Of the
Native Sons of the Golden West. They
have only one day more in which to have
things in readiness for the big celebration
by the seaside, and there is considerable
hustle and confusion at the various head
quarters of the parlors in consequence.
Although the coming forty-frst anniver-
sary OF the admission of California into the
Union will not be celebrated on such an
elaborate scale as the demonstration in
1890. they expect to have a jolly time, and
the Indications are that they will have it,
At the meeting of the Joint Committee in
the BijOu Theater, last night, number Of
final and minor details were completed. 1t
was expected that nineteen parlors would go
to Santa Cruz, but there is some hitch with
Alcalde Parlor and it was given until 8
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, to deposit the
required check and receive the allotted
number of excursion tickets.
Final reports were received from the
various committees. Grand Marshal Marston
was anxious to have red fire burned in
wagons along the line of march on Tuesday
night, and so an appropriation was made for
the purpose. Reports showed that every
parlor in the vicinity of San Francisco Will
participate in the Santa Cruz celebration,
with the exception OF Mantle. which Will
charter a steamer aud hold an eXcurs ion on
the bay.
FORMATION OF THE PARADE.
There will be four divisions in the parade
on Tuesday night and about 1900 Native
Sons will be in line. The procession will
form at the intersection Of Golden Gate ave-
nue. and Taylor street, and at :45 o clock
sharp, with the accent on the sharp, will
start over the following rOu te:
Down Market street to ke earny, to Bush,
TO Montgomery, to Ma rket anu thence to
the ferry. Arriving at Oakland all parors
will take positions on the excursion trains
so as to leave them at Santa Cruz in the
same order and form as in the San Fran
cisco parade. Aids and marshals of dtyis-
ions will rerort to the Grand Marshal a. the
junction of Taylor street and Golden Gate
avenue at $50 o'clock in the evening. The
Grand Marshal will be uniformed gOrgeOusly
and adorned with golden sash, While the
marshals of divisions viii wear blue sash
and the aids red sash.
The Citizens Commit tee at Santa Cruz,
which consists of Mayor Bowman, Bart
Burke, j. Leibrand, Frank Robinson and
w. III. Byers, has made elaborate arrange
ments for the barbecue and clam-bake on
the 10th. The magnitude Of this affair may
be conceived when it is stated that 1000
guests will be entertained.
