Calfornia's golden jubilee is to he six
day celebration instead of the single day
originally proposed. The celebration will
commence on Monday, January "a, and
during the week a series of magnifi ee Mt
pageants will be presented.
" hen the parade committee met yester-
day afternoon it was decided to recon-
mend TO the executive committee at the
meeting to be he'd tonight that this plan
be adopted. DR.. Morse grand marshal,
Colonel James f. Smith, bis chief of staff,
and the members of the committee were
present, and after long discussion it was
decided that the features which it was de-
sired to present could not be encompa ssed
in parade that could be handled in the
availa BILE streets of this city.
+ so many societies have already signi-
fed an intention to parade and so many
business houses desire to. place floats in
the procession, it became at once apparent
to the committee that something would
nave TO be done at once to get up the DIS
play in proper shape.
: a delegation from the Musicians Union
was present, and it was decided 10 place a
band; OF forty pieces at the head of the
column on Ju bilee day, and to have not
LESS than twenty bands in the various
divisions. Outside bands will be brought
in by delegations from the Interior towns,
and If IS expected that not less than 1000
NJ usicians Will furnish the music for the
marching columns.
The finance committee is ready to COM

will be distributed to-day. Chairman
Coleman Is confident that his committee

annually celebrates the occasion, and soon

Native Daughters of the Golden West.
Several meetings OF. represen tatives OF these
bodies have been he'd, an organization. has
been effected entitled t'Callfornfa's Golden
Jubilee and il las been decided that the
| ceiebration of the anniversary shall take
place January "a, 1898. Should the public
support justify the extensi ion, the celebration
will last one week. So far the plan includes
a great parade typical OF the Code N West and
It's history, balls, banquets, special entertain
ments, military and naval dis plays, etc.
To carry out this project Will involve the
outlay of not less thae $4,000, which can be
