JUBILEE OF THE BOYS IN BLUE.
The Parade and Excursion of Grand
Army Veterans.
Gala Days During the Coming En-
campment in This City-Details
of the Excursion.

The parade of the Grand Army Veter-
ans next Tuesday will probably be the
largest that had taken place in Sacra-
mento for many years. The Board of
Trade will be asked to have business
houses closed for halliday at least; the
men in the railroad shops who desire to
march with the various societies will be
allowed to do so; the Board of Education
will be asked to declare holiday and
allow the school children to witness the
parade; the Boys Brigade will be in line,
and the grammar school boys will also
be asked to parade. Nearly all the lead
ing societies in the city will be out in
strong force.
Companies of the Second Infantry from
Auburn and Woodland will be here, and
many citizens from the surrounding
towns will swell the crowd. The farmers
from the country will no doubt bring
their families, and it looks as if Sacra-
mento will have an immense crowd of
visitors on that day.
THE EXCURSION TO FOLSOM.
The excursion to Folsom on the 25th
by mem mbers of the Grand Army of the
Republic and their friends is expected to
be very pleasant affair. The country is
now dressed in its brightest garb of
green. The fine orchards and vineyards
en- route will be charming picture to
look upon, and the Folsom State Prison,
grounds, dam, canals and power-house
will be we'll worth inspecting. Captain
Aull, Warden of the prison, has kindly
consented to admit the visitors to the
grOunds-no small favor by the way.
The special train will leave Sacramento
at 9 A. NJ, returning at P. NJ. The fare
for the round trip will be only IS cents,

the Republic and their families, ladies
of the Auxiliary Corps and their friends,
Sons of Veterans. etc., at their meeting
places in the State Capitol.
Citizens of Sacramento who desire to
