Of the Day in the Lat
ter City.

A committee from Sunset Parlor No.
70, of this city, consisting of j. f. Skel-
ton, e. f. Duden, A. &. Kaufman, L. f.
Bruner and F. H. Conn attended the
meeting Of Woodland Parlor on Friday
evening and extended an invitation
to join with Sunset Parlor in the pro-
posed excursion to Stockton on Ad-
mission Day. 1t is proposed to have
the regular morning train from Wood
land connect with the excursion at
Sacramento on the morning of the 9th,
returning to the Capital City at mid
night, making connections with a spe-
cial train to Woodland. This will en-
able all to attend the celebration and
return home the same night. The fare
for the round trip will be 50 20, or
probably less.
The proposition Was discussed at
length, and it was finally agreed that
the members of the Sacramento COM
mittee should obtain further rates,
and in the meantime the Woodland
Farlor will consult the people of that
place and ascertain their choice in the
matter.
! 1t is probable that the invitation will
be accepted, as it will afford Woodland
people an opportunity to enjoy the hos
pitality of Sunset Parlor 1t is thought
| Woodland will send three coachloads
Of excursionists.
A. c. Kaufman, F. A. Lefferty and j.
I. Shelton, Jr., representing Sunset
Parlor, visited Stockton yesterday to
make arrangements for accommoda-
tions for the members of the Parlor and
| those of Califia Parlor, Native Daugh-
terss, who are to accompany them

| best headquarters in the city for Sunset
Parlor and also choice accommodations
at the Southern Hotel for the Native
| Daughters.
There had been some fear that the
| Stocktonians would not be able to feed
the large number Of visitors on the 9th,
but the Sunset committee succeeded in
making contract with the proprietor
of one of the leading hotels for the ex-
| elusive use Of large dining-room at
certain hours, so there need be no fear
| on that score.
| On the evening Of the Sth the Stock
tonians will give an open-air concert
| for the pleasure Of their visitors and
the Native Sons will visit the trains in
body and escort their guests uptown.
| There will also be fireworks that even

gagged for the concert, one Of them be-
ing the famous Preside Band from the
| army headquarters in San Francisco.
| On the morning of the 9th there will
| be great parade Of Native Sons and
Daughters. In the afternoon there will
be bicycle parade and races, regatta
at o'clock, and following that water
parade At night there will be a grand
| ball.
A prize of $50 has been offered for the
best decoration by any house, and one
of the principal streets of the city will
| be elegantly decorated.
