The exact time of the arrival in this city
OF the regular soldiers on their way from
New Orleans to San Francisco is still in
doubt, but the railroad officials state that
probably the three sections of twelve cars
each will pass through this city between
and II o'clock tonight.
"The soldiers will be received and enter

capitals are The Herald's) by the war
board of the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' association and the ladies Of the diff
ferent relief corps" declares the secretary
of the "war board" Over 100 of these pa
triotic ladies have agreed to assemble at
] o'clock this afternoon at the Hall of In
dustry to make sandwiches and prepare for
the luncheon and reception of the soldiers.
Not only has the war board arranged
that the boys be properly fed while here,
but sufficient food has been provided to
last them on their way to San Francisco.
The "war board" has purchased 1000 fresh
rolls and has apportioned one quarter of
q pound of fresh roast mutton to each SOL
der. The meat and bread will be wrapped
IN separate parcels and if the train should
arrive after midnight the lunches will be
put aboard the cars for distribution tomor-
row morning.
In view of the uncertainty of the time of
arrival of the train the serving of hot cof
fee will be held in allegiance, but a large
number of ladies have contributed beauti-
full flowers and a quantity of literature
that will be placed on board the cars no
matter what time the train arrives here.
The war board" has determined to give
the boys such treat that they will re-
member their visit to Los Angeles after
they have arrived at the Philippine islands.
Last evening the war board shipped
to Col. Berry for the Los Angeles soldiers
a large case containing 1865 bandages and
149 housewives. partly contributed by the
loyal and patriotic ladies of this city and
a large number having been made by the
members of the different relief corps. who
have worked hard at the Hall of Industry
under the direction of the womans aux

Last evening the following telegram was
forwarded to Col. Berry:
'War board of Merchants and Manufac-
turers association consigns to you box
containing bandages and housewives for
Los Angeles soldiers made by patriotic
ladies as souvenirs of home on their march
to victory and glory.

The excursion on Saturday next to Ter
minal island for the benefit of the war
fund promises to be largely attended. A
sort of rivalry has been inaugurated
among the merchants where the tickets
have been placed for sale as to who shall
sell the most tickets and thereby assist
the worthy and patriotic movement to the
greatest extent. Many public-spirited cit-
zens have purchased tickets to assists in the
grand patriotic cause and the fifteen cars
that have been placed at the disposal of the
war board by General Manager Hynes
will have few vacant seats when the train
leaves the depot.

Industry and at the places of the follow
