scurry to get semblance of order out OF
| the kaleidoscope throng that crowded the
spacious corridors and waiting-rooms. 1t
was work that required skill and patience,
for nearly thousand people had to be
arranged. They had begun arriving by s
O'Clock. Those who came at that hour
were in street dress, and after hasty
! glance at the general arrangements sour
ried to the gallery of the Assembly to OBJ
tain good seats for the pageant they knew
was to follow.
By $50 o'clock the carriages began to
roll up to the big front doors of the Capitol
building, and crowds of curious lookers-on,
men and women, jostled each other on the
broad stone steps to get glimpse at the
favored ones who were to partake of the
| festivities for which Sacramento had made
such elaborate preparations. The guests
were ushered at once to the main galleries
on the second floor, where three dressing
rooms were arranged for the ladies and two
| for the gentlemen. Two dressing-rooms
were for the use of all.
The library, however, was reserved for
the elect. To enter this the guests must
| be able to answer satisfactorily one of three
you come from Stockton ?" then followed,
care you on the Governors staff?" and
'Do you belong to the executive commit
tee?'
Those failing in any regard were forced
to seek quarters in the corridors. The
others prepared themselves in the cozy
library for the grand march. There was
no restiyeness displayed. Every one was
busily and happily engaged. In the ro-
tunda the Foresters Band of twenty pieces,
with J. B. Costello as leader, played con-
cert music, and as fast as the guests ar
rived they joined the waiting and admir-
ing throng. The Senate chamber and the
Assembly chamber were both closed, and
this necessitated crowds congregating in
the galleries, where shere was an unending
flow of surprised cor ments on the rick
ness of the toilettes displayed.
The programme rendered by the Forest
ers' band was of unusual excellence and
the effect of the music was heightened by
the peculiar construction of the rotunda
with its mighty DOME Several cornet solos

Merry, acco mpanied by the band. The
