THE PARADE.
Shortly before o'clock the Sacra-
mento County Parlors, headed by Grand
Marshal William Henderson. his Chief
Aid Scott L. Ennis, other aids on horse
back and Messrs. John L. SHELTON, Jr.,
George w. Ogden, Frank A. Lafferty.
Frank Il. Conn. Henry o. Tubbs. w.
Walter Greer and a. ). Conn of the
joint committee of local parlors and the
Foresters' Band, marched to the depot to
receive the members of Stanford Parlor
OF San Francisco, the two Oakland par
lors and the parlors from Alameda and
way stations. They came on trains
which were scheduled to arrive in this
city at $40 and $40, but on account OF the
heavy traffic these trains were delayed
for q short time.
These trains were part of the regular
San Francisco local, the first section of
which was made up of nine passenger
coaches and three or four baggage and
express cars. The second section con-
sisted Of fourteen coaches.
During the night the electrical design
Welcome" which is suspended over
Second street, near j, was lighted up and
as The natives from abroad marched un-
der it on the way TO their headquarters
they gave three hearty cheers for Sacra-
mento and its inhabitants. The design
was most brilliant spectacle and was so
pronounced by the Native Sons.
A GooD-HUMoRED CROWD.
But the train, or rather trains, there
being two sections drawing thirteen
coaches, was behind time; the first Sec
ton thirty minutes, the last an hour. 1t
had been impossible to transfer promptly
at Benicia, and the promenaders, under
standing this, were good-natured. 1t
was reported at s o'clock p. NJ. that there
were L, 900 people on the road between
San Francisco and the Capital City.
1t was estimated that 400 Native Sons
marched to the depot behind the music.
They presented splendid appearance.
and as each parlor vociferated its parlor
call it seemed as if pandemonium had
broken loose. Prominent among the
calls was:
Hal Hal Ha! Who are we?
Sacramento Number Three.
Before the first section of the train ar
rived, the crowd of sightseers had in-
creased TO a crush. 1t was estimated that
at least 1000 persons had gathered within
sound of the music, and judging from the
way they enjoyed themselves it was evil
dent that if the train did not show up for
another hour it would cut no ice with
them.'
Still the crowd stayed on and enjoyedit it.
very few OF The mem bers of The Alameda
County Parlors arrived on the first
section. So until 10 o'clock, the time
passed on the wings of youth and elec-
tricity. at which time the lOng-ex pected,
long-deferred second section arrived amid
tremendous cheering. The parlors ar
irving were the Stanford, Pierpont and
Alameda.
Then, led by the Forester Band, which
had done such gallant service through
out the day, the procession was formed
with the visitors occupying the place or
honor and the march TO the banquet hall
taken up. 1t was as follows:
From the depot on Second to j; up J to
Seventh; on Seventh to K up K TO head
quarters, at Turner's Hall.
COLD LUNCH.
After the arrival OF Stanford Parlor it
was marched TO its headquarters at Tur-
ner Hall where the mem bers and their
wives partook of cold luncheon which
was prepared for them by the parlor's
commissary of subsistence.
From Turner Hall tie members OF the
Sacramento parlors adjourned to Grang-
ers' Hall, where the Caliia Parlor, y.
ID. q. w, had assembled for the purpose
of presenting to them the banner of
which everyone in the city is talking.
