SANTA ROSA. May 15.-By to-mor
 row evening the delegates to the gram
 lodges of the Knights of Pythias ant
 Rathbone Sisters will all have arrived
 in this city, and shortly after the com
 ing of the evening trains the week.
 festivities will begin. The elaborat'
 arrangements made for the entertain
 ment of the guests seem to have take1
 the early arrivals somewhat by sur
 prise, and several of the chief officer
 of the Grand Lodge. who came yester
 day, have expressed in no uncertain
 terms their appreciation of the eXten-
 sive programme arranged for the dele gates and visitors during the week.
 It is not often that the delegates to 8 State meeting have the opportunity ot enjoying an elaborate rose carnival as part of the entertainment offered fol their amusement, and that is what the visitors in this city will be given. For this reason and for the further fact that there will be but one rose carnival held in the entire State this season, the list of delegates and visitors who will attend the coming session of the grand lodges will undoubtedly be the largest known to the history of the order, while the number of outsiders usually at tending the annual rose carnival in
 
 all previous records.
 The main body of delegates to the grand lodges of the two orders will ar rive on Monday evenings trains, and the moment they alight from the cars they will be taken in charge by the re- cepuon committee and marched to the general headquarters, where they will be assigned to rooms in different parts of the city. Parks Santa Rosa band will meet those arriving on the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway, while the Pythian band, especially de- tailed from Camp Hahman, where the Uniform Rank will be located in a great city of tents, will greet those coming in over the Southern Pacific
 When the shades of evening have set tied over the city an open-air concert will be given from the porttco of the Courthouse, and this will be the enter tainment provided for the visitors for that evening. On Tuesday morning the session of both grand lodges will be called to order and the business of the week will begin. The city is already gay with bunting, flags and streamers, and on every hand are noted the hurry and hustle usually consequent upon a city'S donning the finishing touches of her holiday attire.
 Camp Hahman is already in shape to accommodate the members of the Uni form Rank, who will spend the entire week in camp. Brigadier General Me Glashan, commander of the California brigades of the Uniform Rank, Colonel William Kidd, Lieutenant Colonel Nor rosco. Colonel H. R. Arndt, the Rev. J. J. MarlinjoneS, chaplain, and the ad- vance guard of the Uniform Rank oc- cupied tents last night, and, despite the slight shower which fell, managed to spend a very comfortable and pleasant evening.
 The camp is in a delightful spot-ths old College Park. The huge oaks and great fir trees make a charming back ground for the snow white tents and at night the grounds will be brightly H. by thousands of Chinese lanterns. These will be strung in and out among the trees, and high into the tops of giant oaks, and the scene will doubtless be one of marvellous beauty
