THEY NEED COIN
Fourth of July Festival
in Allegiance.
Everything Depends Upon the Abil-
ity of the Finance Committee
10 Provide Funds.

The Fourth of July committee held a
meeting last evening for the purpose of
hearing reports from various sub-commit-
| tees, but the results were rather vague, as
the subcommittee, while perfectly will
ing 10 do so, were unable to make definite
reports until the finance committee let
| them know how much money was at their
command.
The literary committee reported that it
had under way an excellent programme
and would be ready TO report in full at the
next meeting.
The parade committee has designed
three floats, are waiting for bids for their
building aud 10 know how much money
they are entitled TO spend.
The fireworks committee had their bids
under confederation. $1,000, $1,000 and $500
res Leetlvely, but can't make contracts un-
Ill they hear from The finance committee
There was discussion as 10 where the
fireworks should be located, the commit
tee reporting in favor of HaighJ street, but
| objections were urged because that was so
near the fair. where a display was 10 be
made. The general opinion seemed to be
at some place distant from the fair
grounds.
The collectors who had called upon the
street railway company reported that
check of an indefinite amount had been
furnished # the fireworks were located at
Haight street.
The matter was laid over until a definite
statement could be received from the rail-
way company. Grand Marshal Grove
said that last year the company had
donated 5000 and its wishes would have
to be considered, although he feared they
would not give so much this year. There
was some vigorous opposition to paying
| $150-the amount reQuired-for carriages,
| as IL was thought that the officers and
! politicians honoTed with a distinguished
| place ia the parade ought to pay for it. II
/ was decided, however, that this would not
| be treating the invited and distinguish ed
| guests just right and the committee was
instructed to engage thirty carriages.
The regatta committee reported that it
had decided to invite all of the boating
clubs of this city, Oakland. Stockton,
Berkeley University and Stanford Uni
versity and Of every other part of the
| State to participate in the rowing and
Whitehall boat sailing races. They had
also invited Peterson, the champion oars
man of California. They thought they
would need about $1,000 to carry out their
plans, and this last consideration was laid
| over, bidlng the report of the finance COM
| mittee.
Grand Marshal Grove made little talk
to the effect that he would have more men
witnessed at any similar demonstration in
San Francisco. A small battalion of aids
and marshals had signified their accept
ance of his invitation, and the Order OF
Red Men, which has just received a dis.
pensafi0n and new Tegalia, would make
their first public appearance some 150C
strong.
The chairman stated that collections
were little slow and business men we're
holding back under the impression that the
celebration was being absorbed by the
fair. The parade and fireworks were to be
free, and only the literary part of the
entertainment was essen italy within the
fair grounds, and business meG should
not withhold donations ard cripple the
display on this account. The amount col.
lected up to date is S424.
