THE VISITATION,

Citizens Who VIII Meet the Coming.
Guests With Buggies and Carriages
The preparations for the reception of
the National Editorial Association are
progressing favorably. Captain Aull was
in the city yesterday, and reported that
for the Folsom ride that place would send
down an escort committee of twelve citi-
zens to attend to the 240 guests who will
spend the afternoon between here and
Folsom and at the water power at Re-
preesa, whilst the other hundreds re-
main in this city.
r. b. Harmon is canvassing the city
for names of citizens who will turn out
with vehicles on the afternoon ofthe 10Th
from to or O'Clock, and iescort visit
orS about the city and TO points of interest
He has received the written pledges of the
following citizens to join in this pleasing
portion OF the reception, a feature novel
and IN the highest sense hospitable, and
that will reflect infinite credit upon the
city:

The vehicles there promise to be driven
by the owners, or some member of his or
her family, will carry 125 guests. Mr..
Harmon says that he will need to secure
at least hundred and fifty more We
hicles, and even two hundred OF them
will not be too many. AS Mr.. Harmon
must report to the Tuesday night meet
ing, in order to determine whether
enough vehicles will be turned out to
warrant printing the feature in the pro-
gramme that has to be sent forward to
meet and inform the guests), he earnestly
requests that citizens willing TO contrib
ute to the hospitable features of the visit
will at once send him notice by postal
card, announcing the character of the We
hicle rendered, and how many will be
carried in it.
1t is the purpose to have neat badges
with the word Reception" to pin
upon the whip socket of each vehicle
rendered, that guests may know that the
buggles and carriages are turned out by
the owners in their honor, and to serve
as means of introduction of guest to
most. Buggies that can carry but one
pesldes Inc driver, are wanted as well as
vehlcles that will seat more. 1t is hoped
that by Tuesday evening there will be
rendered the full number of vehicles
wanted. There are something like three
thousand family buggies and carriages
and teams in the city, and it would seem
that out of so large number the re-
quisite 200 ought to be readily rendered.
The spirit in which those already listed
were rendered, leads the committee in
charge to believe that this escort feature
will be complete success. Just as soon
as the number necessary is pledged a
l.. ,l.r.<..~ l.
flying him or her where to come with the
vehicle, and at what hour, as the guests
will be distributed among the hotels and
restaurants for lunch.
