Trustees to aid IN defraying the expenses
of the proposed display at the Midwinter
Fair on Saturday next-at least, not In
time to be used for that purpose.
An effort is therefore being made by
the committee to raise the money by sub
scription among a few public-spirited

invitations will be sent 10 many well
known citizens throughout the State, and
those who formerly resided IN Sacra-
mento will be especially invited to act
with the Reception Committee.
The importance of the event has aroused
the earnest enthusiasm OF the members
of the Executive Committee OF the Mid
winter Fair, and their interest has been
intensified by the desire to compliment
the Sacramento representative OF that
body. AS a result Sacramento Day will
practically be the grandest fete day in
the history of the exposition. for the
most elaborate arrangements have been
made to interest and amuse the vast con-
tingent of people that will be in attend
ance, to the extent that every moment
OF the day and evening will be absorbed
IN innumerable features of entertainment
that will be presented.
A brief synopsis Of the features pro-
posed to be presented will readily dem
onstrate the degree OF interest the fair
management are taking in the matter.
Outside of the Sacramento and Forester
parades and exercises, they have ar
ranged to have Mardi Gras procession,
in which the magnificent floats recently
received from New Orleans and which
cost S25, 900 will be shown, and to the
greatest possible advantage. The floats
will be elegantly decorated and appropri-
ately mounted.
Following that splendid feature there
will be grand parade of all the conces-
sions connected with the fair. This feat
ure Will be peculiarly interesting, mas
much as it will combine all the elements
of the worlds peculiarities. The camels
and trained animals. the Greeks and the
Turks, the Roumanians and the Japan
ese, the Esquimaux and the Chinese, the
Samoans and The Fiji Islanders, the Ha-
waiians and the Russians-all will con-
bine in the presentation of a most weird
scene of peculiar interest such as will
never again be seen in this State.
The magnificent allegOrical fountain in
front of the administration building will
be elaboIately decorated with flowers
and evergreens, while the grand court
will be brilliantly illuminated with 5000
Variegated lanterns. This feature alone
will necesSitate the erection Of over !, 900
extra poles.
In the evening there will be special
and unique programme, devised wholly
by Director-G General De Young, entitled
"a Night in Japan" The details of this
particular feature relate wholly and dis
tinctively to the characteristics of that
country, in the popularity of costuming,
performance, fireworks. etc.
Beautiful Japanese women in sedan
chairs; gorgeously costumed representa-
lives OF the Mikado's realm in gaily ca
parisoned jinrikishas will excite the
wonder and admiration of the spectators
while the national and theatrical effects
will serve as most entertaining pastime
to the uninitiated.
There will be a grand fireworks eXhibi-
tion in the evening, under the auspices of
Mr.. Pain, the greatest manufacturer of
those effects in the world. The principal
features will be distinctively Sacra-
mentan. 1t is needless to say that it will
be complete and magnificent in every
detail.
The celebrated Mexican and Midwinter
Fair Bands will discourse high-class
music throughout the day and evening.
The merit of those splendid organizations
need but be heard to be gratefully ap-
preciated.
The Executive Committee have very
considerably arranged TO extend free adj
mission 10 all scholars of the public,
private and parochial schools of the city,
1t is hardly necessary TO say that their
forethought will meet with the hearty ap-
probation of the children. In order to
determine how many tickets it will be
necessary to provide for the little ones, it
will be necessary for the teachers of the
various public and private schools in the
city to notify NJ. j. Curtis, Secretary of
the Citizens Executive Committee. l0l2
Fourth street, in this city, by Wednesday
next. Parents and guardians should pay
particular attention TO this point as later
applications will surely cause confusion.
The Citizens Committee would not
have been able to present such an at
tractive announcement OF special attrac-
tions for Sacramento Day but for the
active cooperation of Hon. Eugene J..
Gregory, a Director of the Midwinter
Fair.
Referring to the prospects of Sacra-
mento Day at the fair, yesterdays San
Francisco Chronicle says:
''From a floral point of view the cele-
bration of Sacramento Day on the 9Th
will probably be one of the most success
full events of the kind which has ever
taken place at the exposition. The man
agement of the Japanese Theater and
Tea Garden will unite with Sacramento
in making the day memorable. Twenty
jinrikishas will be beautifully decorated
with flowers, and the employees OF the
theater will spend an hour or two IN the
afternoon riding about the grounds.
