AT the meeting of the Executive Com
mittee the following outline of pro-
gramne was made, to be submitted to
the respective committees for their APP
proyal and action. The general plan is
as follows: That Mayor Steinman be
President of the Day, with eXCongress-
man Budd, eX-Congressman Glascock
and ex-Congressman Clunie as Vice
Presidents and guests; that Governor
Markham and United States Circuit
Judge Joseph Mckenna be invited to
make brief addresses.
THE GUESTS.
That invitations be forwarded to the
President OF the United States and MEM
bers Of the Cabinet, the Postal Inspector
and superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service for California and Postmaster
Backus of San Francisco; to the Supreme
Court Justices; TO General Kruger, i. ).
A.; to the local Federal officials; to the
local Judiciary; 10 the City Trustees and
County Supervisors and TO the City and
County Boards of Education; 10 the State
officials elective, and TO the press of in
terror California in the name of the citi
zens Of Sacramento.
That the exercises take place at II \. NJ,
February I'D, in front of the building.
That the Brigadier- General of this bri-
gade and stan and the First Regiment
and the Grand Army Posts be asked to
be present and assist in the salute 10 the
flag.
THE EXERCISES.
There is to be no procession, but that
guests, military, all the school children
Oi the city, and citizens generally are to
assemble at the place and hour named,
when from platform TO be erected the
speaking will take place-short, perti-
neut addresses, the exercises opening
with prayer by Rev. A. &. Herrick and
music by band.
1t is then intended that delegations of
five or ten children from each school,
chosen as their teachers shall determine,
shall man halyard line stretching up or
down X street; that the signal corps of
the military arm be invited to take
charge of the signaling to the artillery.
THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER.
When the moment comes for the flag to
be run up it is suggested that Charles b.
Eilerman of San Francisco, recently Il
Sacramentan. be invited to sound from
the top of the tower the strains of the
'Star-spangled Banner" as he concludes
&-l- 81, II
corps will communicate with the battery,
and as the first of the thirteen guns is
fired the selected children will move
with the halyard line and old glory will
run to the top Of the flagstaff, while the
people will be asked to join in the song.
When the exercises are brought to close
the children and people will sing Amer
ica." For these purposes 1t is desired
that the children who sing best shall be
massed near the platform to lead in the
hymn.
IF 1T RAINS.
If the weather should be inclement the
speaking will be in nearby hall and
the children on the halyard line be
sheltered along IL street, the signals in
the case to be adapted to the situation.
CHILDREN TO OWN THE FLAG.
The great feature of the occasion, how
ever, is to be the procuring OF the flag
winch IS TO De dlL6fNdrU CdS6O ana pldCeu
on an inner wall OF the building as
souvenir. The plan adopted by the Ex-
ecutive Committee, which consists of
Major c.. II. Hubbard and Hon. Win
j. Davis, J. 0. Coleman and S. Il. Car
rington, is novel, patriotic and receives
the hearty Endorsement OF educators and
all others to whom it has been communi-
Gated.
The idea is that the City Board of Edu-
cation shall tonight be asked by the EX-
ecutive Committee to take charge of the
collection of the fund for the purchase of
the flag on this plan. That the COM
mittee will furnish neat certificates certi
fying that -- has one share i'll the
flag raised on Washington's birthday,
1894. over the first Federal building ever
ceremoniously dedicated i'll the State Of
California.
THE CERTIFICATE
Is to be signed by the teacher and issued
by him~or her of every public ana prl-
vate school in the city. No child shall be
nernitted to have more than one share,
and no share shall represent more than
one cent. thus ali will have an equal
interest and part in the flag and the cere-
monial relating thereto.
BIG STOCK COMPANY.
there are about $500 school children
and about 10 teachers in the city pubic
and private schools the distribution OF the
certificates and collections ofthe cents VIII
be light task. AS there are some twenty
schools, public and private. delegation
