THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
It VIII be Appropriately Celebrated
in Sacramento.
The Procession to Move at 10 O'clock,
If it Consists OF Only the
Grand Marshal.

1t is hardly necessary to announce that
this is the Fourth of July, as the waving
flags, the decorated buildings, the sputter
of ire-crackers and the steady booming
of pistols and bombs for several days past
had pretty thoroughly demonstrated the
fact in this vicinity that the National hoIi-
day was at hand.
The day will be honored in Sacramento
in the orthodox fashion, and all the indi-
cations point to celebration of unusual
attraction and interest. The programme
OF events is published i'll this mornings
issue OF the RECORD UNION, to which the
attention of all is directed for detailed
information regarding the order of the
street demonstration.
There viii be salute of thirteen guns
fired at sunrise, under the supervision of
Captain John Cooke of Battery B, First
artillery Regiment. AT noon there Will
be another salute of forty-four guns, and
one of thirteen at sunset.
THE PROCESSION
VIII form at Ninth and I streets and the
line of march will be through Ninth to
ID, thence to Eleventh, TO j, thence to
Second, to K, up K to Tenth, to Nj, and
thence to Sixth, where the parade will
end.
Grand Marshal Nichols wishes it un-
derstood by all who intend TO take part
IN the parade that when he SAYS the line
Will move at 10 o'clock he means just that
hour, and he declares that if there are
none ready to move besides himself and
aids that portion of the procession will
start. Hence all intending participants
should be at their line station by $3.50
O'Clock sharp,
LITERARY EXERCISES.
Punctuality must be observed in this
respect in order that the literary exercises
at the Clunie Opera-house may not be
delayed, as it is desired to conclude them
at the earliest possible moment.
These exercises will be especially in
teresting and it will fully repay attend
ance-in fact no more attractive pro-
gramme for Fourth of July exercises has
ever been arranged in this city. The
opera-hOuse auditorium will hold 1,000
people and it is hoped that it will be COM
pletely filed.
The Clunie Opera-house is the coolest
auditorium in the city, and admirably
ventilated. 1t was kept well open last
night and closed closely this morning,
SO that the air will be very cool when the
house is thrown open at IL o'clock. The
auditorium doors will be open for the
public at IL A. NJ. sharp, and the stage
doors for those who take part will be open
at l1:45.
The opera-house has been very hand
somely decorated-indeed, SO plentiful
and rich are the decorations that the
theater will be scarcely recognized. The
bright colors thrown in have produced a
most charming effect, and the stage drap-
ing is especially handsome. The whole
work has been done by George Boyne,
and reflects credit upon his taste and
skill.
~. I.
rector, is to furnish the music, with Mrs
Percy Ross and Miss Ida Clinch as solo
lists, and seventy five voices in the chorus.
Mr.. Kinross desires it stated that any
competent singers will be welcome to
seats with the society, as with that heavy
chorus any singers Will be able TO unite
effectively in the chorus.
Singers, Vice Presidents, Officers of the
Day and the Sons of Veterans escort to
the flag will enter the stage from the eX
terror entrance on the stairs second flight
east Of Eighth street on the alley.
Those who are to preside upon the stage
are: Mayor w. ID. ComStock, President;
Hon. j. X. Mcdonald, Hon. A. 2. Catlin,
Hon. John We'll, Hon. +. Greer, j. Q.
Coleman, p. e. Platt and II. Weinstoclz,
Nice-Presidents.
All those who are to take part at the
theater are requested to be in place by
ll:20 A. NJ. sharp. 1t is calculated that the
literary exercises will begin at 1l:30
O'Clock sharp, and all be over before it
will be necessary for anyone to retire 10
attend afternoon amusements.
DECORATIONS, ETC.
Considerable taste has been displayed
by citizens in decorating their places of
business and residences along the line of
march, and the city as whole presents a
very attractive appearance.
The police station has been very taste
fully decorated, through the efforts of
Jailers McManus and NagheI. A picture
of Washington in gold frame is placed
above the door, while an abundance Of
hags and streamers are arranged about
the entrance and inside the Office.
The City Hall did not fare so well,
although J. s. Curtis has made the best
display possible with decorations which
have been used in years past.
The Postotfice hours to-day will be as
follows: The stamp window and gen
eral delivery will remain open from II
to l O'Clock, and there viii be one general
delivery by carriers, in the morning.
Business houses generally will be
closed throughout the city, so that pro-
prietors and employees may celebrate the
day IN their own fashion.
The city's Art Gallery will also be
closed all day.
PARADE NOTES.
Captain Sbarbaro of the Bersaglieri
Guard stated last night that, greatly to
his regret, his company would not be
able to appear in the procession. MANY
of the members reside at Rocklin, and
others down the river at various points as
far away as Grand Island, and he has
been unable to get them together on such
short notice. The Captain said he was
greatly disappointed, but there was no
help for it, as only small portion of the
company could be mustered.
1t has been so arranged that Sells Bros.'
circus parade is to follow right on the
heels of the Fourth of July procession.
This viii give the people a chance to wit
ness both, and will be especially crafty
ing to the little ones.
The circus parade will, however. be
concluded at Tenth and K streets-it will
not be continued to NJ.
