The Executive Committee desires i
understood that the canvassing commit

mence work tomorrow morning at Il
O'Clock and to do all III their power t
raise fund sufficient to enable the pub
lie to be treated TO a better series of con
ccrtS than have ever been given in Sacra
mento before. 1t is expected that tn,
people and business men generally vii
contribute literally, and swell thu
| amount of money to 81 500 or more
There will undoubtedly be many whC
desire to contribute, but who will not b,
called upon by any OF the Canyassins
committees, but the Treasurer or mem
berS of the Executive Committee are au
thoriZed to receive any donations.
IN canvassing, the committees viii
carry with them book, and as each per
son subscribes, he viii be asked to STATE
within what hours he desires the Sunday
concerts to be held, and which park ht
prefers. The committee will make a note
Of his wish and in this way the Execu
tive Committee Will be able to Judge the
popular sentiment and fix the commence
ment and closing hours of the Sunday
concerts IN accordance Herewith.
The President, Secretary and Treasurer
were appointed a committee to wait OF
the Board Of City Trustees, and also thC
! Capitol Commissioners. to obtain permits.
sion to use the Plaza and Capitol Park
tor the purpose Of holding the concerts.
Although the musicians in this city
| have formed a union and fixed a sched.
| uie of prices for their services, the PreSi-
! dent said he was authorized TO state thai
! the bands did not propose to insist or
| regular rates for the Open-air concerts
| They would offer their services for the
same amount they received last year.
The CanVaSsing Committees are ex-
! pected to complete their work and make
a report one week from to-day, and if the
necessary funds are forthcoming the first
concert win be held on May 18th.
| President MARITIME was authorized to
| appoint thirty ladies, to be divided into
seven or eight committees, for the pur-
! pose of soliciting means with which to
| offset the expense of a grand double con-
cert which it is proposed to give during
| the summer. The proposed plan is to en-
| gage both bands for the occasion and to
select chorus of fifty voices among the
| local talent. The idea was suggested to
| President MARITIME by several Of the
prominent singers in this city, and it is
| thought that an affair Of this Kind would
prove grand attraction, and that many
/ would attend from the neighboring
/ towns. The concert, if given, will be
| held in Capitol Park, and the committee
will leave nothing undone to make the
affair success.
/ The committee adjourned to meet next
| Friday evening at s o'clock at Mills &
! Hawks office.
