Afternoon.

tertained Here-Trlp TO Fol-
som Tomorrow.

At latest accounts last night the excur-
sionists from the East who left Chicago
on the 18th for Sacramento with a view to
settling in this county on the lands of the
Fair Oaks colony. were coming westward
on schedule time. They occupy five
coaches attached to the regular overland
train due here at $40 P. NJ.
The committee of the Cham ber of Com
merce had fixed upon o'clocE this after
noon for them to arrive, and it is possible
that to-day's run may be made by special
train, in which case Sacramento would
be reached by o'clock. The commit
tees arrangements have been made on
the expectation that the party would
come ahead OF the GAO regular train. but
If it does not tho programme need not be
materially interfered with. The visitors
would be delayed little in reaching the
Art Gallery, to be sure. but that is all.
The following committees have been ap-
pointed by the Chamber of Commerce to
take charge OF the matter of receiving
and entertaining the newcomers:
