THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
A Very Good Celebration is Promised
After All.
Final Arrangements About Finished
The Horribles VIII Turn Out
at Night-Other Features.

The General Fourth of July Committee
will meet this evening at the Courthouse
to put the finishing touches on the ar
rangements for Saturdays celebration.
The outlook now is that Sacramento
will celebrate in its usual fine style after
all, despite the shortness of funds.
The parade will be up to anything that
has been heretofore given, the literary
exercises will be of a high order, the
Athletic Club promises to outdo all of its
former efforts, and the wind-up-the
night parade and illumination-will be
the best thing Of the kind ever seen here
before.
The street decorations will, also, in all
probability, be quite gay.
TIE HORRIBLES.
The Horribles Committee held another
meeting last evening at 702 X street and
made its final arrangements. It was de
clded to adhere to the original intention
OF turning ont at night The burlesquers
Will form i'll line at I o'clock and the pro-
| ceSSlOn Will probably get under way at
| about 1870. Many novel features are 10
! be introduced, and the turnout will be
! larger than ever.
| AS regards the fireworks to be edisplayed
| during the parade, it was decided TO go as
! far as their funds would permit
j them, and If more money is on hand at
to-night's meeting of the General Conn
mlttee, they can 90 still further.
THE DAY PARADE.
| Grand Marshal w. II. Sherburn called
his aids together again last evening at the
! Capital Hotel and gave them explicit i'll
structiOnS as to what they are to
| do. He laid particular stress upon the
/ review which is to take place after the
| countermarch. He expects TO have this
one OF the features ofthe turnout.
! Mr.. Sherburn says he is confident now
| that this years parade will be one Of the
! best that has been seen in Sacramento in
4 many Il year. 1t will not be more elabO-
rate than its predecessors, but he says
that the arrangements are different and
he expects better results.
! 1t is expected that the display which
will be made by the Buffalo Brewing
Company will be very fine affair, as
much preparation is going OH for it.
ATHLETIC SHOW.
The programme to be rendered by the
Sacramento Athletic Club at the Clunie
! Opera-house in the afternoon is complete
and in the hands of the Programme Com
mittee. The clubmen are confident that
they will completely eclipse their efforts
Of last year, as they now possess more
and better talent than then.
One of the features will be comic pan
tomime entitled THE Progressive Hot
| tentots," arranged and originated by
! Professor Godefroy.
The club will put on sixteen of its best
! boxers and coterie of wreStlers. Be-
! side there will be some fine features on
new apparatus.
The costuming of the various acts will
| be something very elaborate and costly.
! a large force Of usheTs will be on hand
| at the theater to arrange for the comfort
Of the guests.
| LITERARY AND MUSICAL EXERCISES.
! The platform for the literary exercises
| is already erected in the Assembly cham

will be placed midway of the main en-
trance hall where cups will be supplied
and the water moderately iced, not dan
/ gerously so.
/ The exercises will begin as soon as the

/ The Literary Committee will to-day
send an invitation to the Sons of Veter-

the exercises progress. Last year this
honor was conferred upon the local COM

War. The committee wish it understood
that the lower floor of the Assembly

/ before the arrival OF the procession, but
the galleries will be open half-hour be-
