CELEBRATION OF ADMISSION DAY.
The Native Sons Are Making Early
Preparations.
Committees Appointed Last Evening
Some Hints Concerning the Dec
Grafton of Buildings

The two parlors of the Native Sons OF
the Golden West have appointed commit
tees to make arrangements for the cele-
bration of Admission Day in this city on
the 9th of next September. The Joint
Committee is as follows:
Sacramento Parlor-Frank D. Ryan,
Theodore G. Eilers, Charles L. Barton,
G. n. Post, III. o. Tubbs, j. NJ. Hender-
son, Jr., Ii. K johnson and Thomas Fox.
Sunset Parlor-P. B. Johnson, Frank
Latferty, John I. Shelton, George Sher-
man, Louis Breuner. Otto Kaufman, A.
Cohn and K. E. Greer.
The committee met last evening and
organized by electing as Chairman
Thomas Fox; Vice-Chairman, A. Cohn;
Secretary, J. NJ. Henderson, Jr.; Treas
urer. Louis Breuner. The Finance Com
mittee is composed of all the members of
| the Joint Committee.
The headquarters of the committee will
be established at ForeSters' Hail. and the
committee will meet every Tuesday even
ing. The Finance Committee will COM
mence to canvass the city tomorrow for
funds to help defray the expenses of the
celebration.
1t is expected that there will be about
1000 Native Sons here during the cele-
bration, and the Exempt and Veteran
| Eiremen's Associations of San Francisco
will also be in attendance. Representa-
! tives of the San Francisco ParlorS were
in the city during the past few days en-
| gaglng places where their headquarters
may be established during the celebra-
| ton.
Secretary of State Brown, who is a
| Native Son, has rendered the use of the
l II / L. - H.
| Capitol for any meeting the parlors may
wish to hold.
The people CT the city should start in
early in making preparations for decor
ating their buildings. The hanging out
OF few cheap flags that had done duty
for several Fourths of July-as was done
when the Grand Army met here-should
not be repeated on Admission Day. Peo-
pie should vie with one another in get
ting up handsome designs appropriate to
the occasion something typical of the
| times and customs when California was
admitLed to the Union.
| The history of the early days is rich in
suggestions, and advantage should be
taken thereof. There ought to be moth
ing cheap nor gaudy about the city dec
orations this time, and it is safe 10 say
that If some decorator with fair supply
of brains will set to work and prepare a
| hundred designs in advance, and some
other decorator a hundred more, they
will be able to find customers for them
all
This is one of the first things to which
the local Native Sons should give their
attention, and If they cannot get Sacra-
mento decorators and designers to inter
est themselves in the matter then some
of those in San Francisco should be
called on. The trouble with most busi-
ness men is that they have not the leisure
TO give TO such things, but there is little
doubt that if someone would prepare de-
| signs for decorations, furnish the neces-
sary material and put them in shape,
merchants would be willing to pay there
| for.
| There should be at least two arches
erected-one on j and the other on K
street. Nothing adds more to tie beauty
of street than a handsome arch. AS the
State Fair will be on, and the city filled
with visitors other than Native Sons, the
streets should be made to present more
attractive appearance than ever before.
