INAUGURATION OF GOVERNOR BUDD.

side the Legislature VIII be Able
to Witness the Event.

At - O'Clock noon to-day Califor-
MA Will have a new Chief Executive in
the person of James II. Budd, who will
at that hour be duly inaugurated by the
Legislature
The ceremony will take place in the
Assembly Chamber, instead of in front of
the building, as heretofore, and as the
hall will be mostly occupied by the mem
bers of both houses of the Legislature,
but small portion of the public will be
able to witness the interesting event.
The local military companies, includ-
ing the Battery and Signal Corps. will
parade prior to the Inauguration, as also
will the Third Regiment and Cadets from
San Francisco and two military compa-
MES from Stockton. General Sheehan,
assisted by his staff, will take charge of
the parade.
The two Stockton companies of the
Sixth Infantry. and perhaps the Fresno
company, will arrive at 1880 this morn
ing, and it is probable that General Null
Ter and staff will be present.
Owing TO the fact that outside officers
cannot be prepared for a mounted parade,
1t has been thought best that all field and
staff officers parade on foot.
The column must be ready to move
from the armory a little after 10 A. NJ. 1t
will proceed to the Golden Eagle Hotel,
and escort Governor Markham and the
committees of the Senate aud Assembly
to the Western Hotel, where Governor
elect Budd will be received, and the en-
tire column-military and civic-wiil
proceed up X street to the State Capitol,
where it will be reviewed on the terrace
by the Commander-in-C Chief
The troops will then be dismissed, and
at signal from the Assembly Cnamb
Captain Cooks battery will tire a salute
OF nineteen guns Immediately after Gov
ernor Budd is sworn in. In the parade
the military officers will wear leggings
and gauntlets.
The school children Of the city are to be
allowed a vacation after IL A. NJ. in order
that they may witness the exercises at
tending the inaugural ceremony, but as
the Assembly Chamber would not hold
one-tourth of them even if they were
packed in like sardines in box, and the
entire hall deserted by others, it is diff
cult to understand how the little ones are
to see anything.
The San Francisco regiment was to
leave that city early last evening, by
boat, and Will arrive at an early hour
this morning.
arrived last night by the Oregon express
and went at once to the Armory, where
preparations had been made to accom-
modate them.
Each member of the Legislature is al
lowed tour tickets of admission, but these
Will be OF little use 10 their friends, as it
Will be Impossible to crowd into the AS
sembly Chamber more than a couple OF
hundred persons other than the men,
bers.
II looks as if serious mistake had
been made in the determination TO have
the inaugural ceremony take place in-
side the Capitol building. Should the
weather not be suitable for an outdoor
ceremony, 1t could be held in the Agri-
cultural Pavilion, where many thousands
OF persons could witness it.
Aside from the San Francisco and
Stockton military companies, it is ex-
pected that several hundred visitors will
come from these cities and from other
parts OF the State for the express pur-
pose of witnessing the Inauguration OF
Governor Budd. Under the present ar
rangement they will be disappointed.
Following is the order in which the
parade will be formed:

Francisco.
