ficulty in getting together as large q
delegation as the Importance of the
club justifies. 1t has asked all unat-
tached wheelmen to turn out with it..
and wheelwomen also. Wheels will not
be ridden, but led.
E. A. Garfield. Fifth and K streets. is
chairman of the Parade Committee,
and will be glad to receive names Of all
who will turn out with the wheelmen.
All such will receive handsome sash
in national colors.
Nor has the comfort of those who
march been forgotten Sixty-five hun
dred seats have been erected in the
new Pavilion for those who wish TO lis
ten to the literary exercises, but no one
not participating will be admitted un-
til after all those taking part in the
parade have. passed in and secured
their SEATS. This is an excellent de-
parture from the practice of former
years, which has been that those who
had marched arrived at the place for
holding the exercises only to find that
every seat was filled and that after
standing and marching in line for two
hours. they must continue to stand, II
they wished to hear the exercises.
There is every promise that the effort

turnout of decorated vehicles) big
feature will be crowned With success
Without solicitation, already num-
ber of people have expressed a wish to
be in line with their carriages or bug

of a day or two the committee having

fine vehicles to show their patriotic
spirit and help make the procession of
carriages the best that has ever been
seen in this city.

white hats and all will be mounted on
horses. It is requested that all who
desire to appear in this division notify
the Marshal, Edgar M. Sheehan. as

tails may be arranged thoroughly.
The musical feature of exercises st
the Pavilionyis receiving much atten-
tion. and is expected to be something
grand. Accommodation will be made
for some three hundred singers. and it
is thought that fully that number will
join in the chorus.
Rhys Thomas the well-known con-
ductor. will have charge Of this feat
ure OF the exercises, and will be here on
Tuesday evening for the rehearsal that
is to take place in the Pavilion at s
o'clock. 1t is desired that every person
who desires or is willing to participate
in the singing will be on hand prompt

other rehearsal
The program for the exercises has
been arranged with special care, ana
should prove very attractive. Every
feature and number has been intrusted
TO competent persons.
iAll in all, the celebration this year
promises to be on a grander scale than
anything of the kind ever witnessed
here, noted as Sacramentans are for
patriotism and public spirit. Never
since the war of the rebellion have the
people been so aroused as at this time.
