STRAW HATS. SUMMER SUITS.

The California delegation to the Repub-
Hcan National Convention in st. Louis
will have good reason for mutual con-
gratulations on the arrangements for the
journey. Every man in the delegation
will be made as happy and as comfortable
as traveller may hope to be, and it is
highly probable, too, that he will feel
proud of how California shall compare
with other States. He will have dis
tinctive summer dress, badge typical of
the Golden State, a cane cut from an
orange grove and his full share of comfort
and pleasure
So much has been settled by the commit
tee on transportation and management at
a meeting held in the Union League Club
rooms. The committee consists of John
D. Spreckels, Daniel T. Cole and o. A.
Hale, and it was appointed at meeting of
the delegates at Sacramento.
When it met in the Union League Club
John d. Spreckels was elected chairman
1t was decided then to leave San Fran
cisco June IL, at 10 A. M, for st. Louis,
which city will be reached the following
Monday at 9:30 A. M. The route selected
is over the Central Pacific, Denver and Rio
Grande and the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy lines. A special train comprising
three sleepers, dining-car and a compos-
ite car, with baggage compartment, barber
shop, reading-room and smoking-room
will carry the delegation to and from the
convention city. Arrangements were
made to have the cars decorat ed in appro-
pirate style.
Messrs. Spreckels and Cole were ap-
pointed a subcommittee to secure the
necessary badges for the delegates. These
badges will be of design typifying Cali
fornia and, OF course, the Republican party.
The committee concluded that all dele
gates should wear white straw hats with
broad brims, black alpaca coats, white
vests and neckties, and russet shoes.
A. b. Lennon of Santa Rosa, secretary
OF the delegation, has offered to supply
canes OF orangewood, as a characteristic
emblem of California, for the delegates to
carry into the West-or, according to a
Californian view, the East.
An invitation will be sent to the Nevada
| delegation to join the train en- route and
proceed with it to st. Louis If the Ne
vada neighbors conclude to accept the in
vitation special car, reserved for them,
will be hitched to the train at Oakland for
their exclusive use and benefit.
Partial arrangements have been made
for the delegations accommodations in St.
Louis, but it was found that additional
rooms would be needed. and Mr.. Cole was
| instructed to communicate with the Tippe.
canoe Club of that city to secure them.
The headquarters of the California dele
CATION will be in the Southern Hotel
