One of the pleasing features of the move
ment is the fact that the Womens Annex
of the National Republican League has
arranged an entertainment and dance
for the benefit of the parade fund. 1t will
be given at the Pioneer building "a Fourth
street, tonight. Tickets will be sold for
so cents. There will be considerable talent
In the entertainment. Henry Larsen and
Alfred Wilkie are among the artists who
will entertain the people.
Colonel George Stone, president of the
Union League Club and grand marshal of
the great industrial parade 10 take place
next Saturday, has every assurance that
many uniformed clubs from Oakland,
Sacramento, San Jose and other cities will
join the vast marching column. Speak
ing OF the parade last evening he said:
This demonstration is at the sugges-
ton OF the Republican State Central Com
mittee, and the spirit of cooperation al
ready manifested assures a success far be-
yond our first antIcipations. am already
in receipt of inquiries by telephone and
telegraph from interior cities asking for
the excursion rate and assuring me that
if it is cut down low many uniformed
clubs viii join the great column in San
Francisco. We shall surely have a great
day, and the first thing to be done to-day
is to have the railroad committee of the
parade and the agents of the various rail-
road and steamb boat lines converging in
the City arrange to give US low rate.
II am sure that the managers of the
North Pacific Coast, the San Francisco
and North Pacific, the Southern Pacific
and the Valley Road will join in efforts to
bring greater multitude to San Fran
cisco than ever before visited the City.
Tie uniformed clubs of Sacramento, Oak
land and San Jose will vie with the seven
teen uniformed marching clubs of San
Francisco in presenting tlne appearance.
The two uniformed clubs of Sacramento
= the Mckinley League and the Capital
City Club-may make an exceptionally
fine display. Everybody knows what the
Alliance of Oakland can do when that
club is pat in line.
''It was the idea of the Re publican State
Central Committee" said Colonel Stone,
that the column on parade should repre-
sent the business men and the laboring
men of San Francisco. Every indication
now points to a vast representation. The
enterprise grows as the plan progresses.
mo, have not yet fixed definitely on
the locality of formation or on the exact
line of march, but there will be but little
delay in this matter. The route will be
announced in ample time. so that patriotic
residents and business men on the line
may introduce special features OF decora-
tion. The Republican National Commit
tee has requested a general display of the
National flag in all parts of the Union on
that day, October 81: and, while all may
observe this recommendation, the people
of San Francisco may go further and make
a beautiful display of patriotic decorations
in honor of the event.
The interest manifested in the event is
so absorbing that excursions will come
from all the interior towns. Invitations
have already gone out TO the clubs of Oak
land, Alameda, Berkeley, Sausalito, San
Jose, Santa Rosa, San Rafael, Petaluma,
Redwood City and other places in this i'm
mediate vicinity. A very low railroad rate
would bring organizations from Stockton,
Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley region.
