pensed with, much to their disappoint-
ment, it being deemed best to do SO, and.
instead, the Sacramento boys escorted the
San Francisco regiments to the deDot.

children, assembled at the New Pavilion
at noon to listen to the literary exercises.

fascinating to most OF the men, and they
went thither.

went to the Pavilion, as f. H. Greedy,
who had been announced as Orator of the
Day, did not arrive from Marysyille, no
trains running from there to this city.
The programme, with this exception.
