The record-union., 1899-09-11

There is every evidence that the at
tendance at the Fair this week will
outdo that of last, phenomenally sue
cessful as was the record of the week
Just closed
Secretary Coleman of the Chamber of
commerce and Messrs. Fisher. En-
wright and Gray of the Citizens Com
mlttee, were particularly active the lat
ter part of the week in agitating the
Importance of Governors Day. 1t is
IN everybody's mind that Governors
Day will be successful and that the
week is to be a wonder
For years many people have been in
the habit of attending only during the
second week. Their custom will not
suffer this year, for the fame of success
has gone forth and the momentum of
victory will bring victory again.
Changers Day (to-morrow) will be a
time of rejoicing. Less pretentious than
others, less ornate in arrangement and
design, the Changers will nevertheless
be in evidence. There will be a large
attendance that day, and the apple-par-
ing and nail-driving contest at night
are said to be two wonderfully fascin-
ating features.
and their descendants, the clans whose
lustre is magnified by the history of
warriors and heroes in every walk from,
Wallace to Scott and from Scott to
Stevenson. The dauntless Scots are all
alert and if their day does not prove a
grand success it will not be from lack
of hard and well-directed work.
Caledonian Day gives every promise

II. K. McLennan, First Chief James
Stewart, w. A. Guild, James Young,
and every man and woman of the socie-
ty are working with tireless energy to
accomplish the object that is dear to
the hearts of the society = success.
There is no doubt in anybody's mind
that the object in view will be achieved.
We are not as numerous as the
Native Sons" said Chief McLennan
last night, but we are citizens of Sac
ramento, and we are willing to give
our energy and our money to the
cause"
The Citizens Committee is paying the
outside professional Caledonian talent,
but the local clans are generously con-
tributing time and money to the Fair
They expect many visiting members
and guests, and their show is certain to
draw a large attendance. Committees
will receive all visitors at the trains
and give their hearty greetings during
the day and night. Pipers will play at
the track, and nothing will be left un-
done from sunrise until the last note
of music or human voice proclaims the
glOries of the Scots.
There viii be a grand march from
Pioneer Hall to the Pavilion at Z 80 p.
IN. The clans viii assemble at the
hall at I p. m. and march so as
to be at the Pavilion by o'clock. The
following is the line of march: From
Pioneer Hall to K, thence to Tenth, to
L, to Fifteenth, to the Pavilion.
At the Pavilion there will be music
such as few people have ever heard
unless at a spirited Caledonian picnic.
There will be sword dances, reels, horn
pipes and other features of interest.
Professor Duncan Frazer, the Gale
DOMAIN piper, will play Marching
Through Georgia. which is one Of the
most difficult pieces of music ever at
tempted on the pipes. The range of
these instruments is not large, and the
audience will no doubt be delighted
with the Professors superior skill.
The following ladies will serve on the
Reception Committee Caledonian Day
and at night: Mrs. H. K. McLennan,
Mrs. w. A. Guild, Mrs. James McCaw,
Mrs. James Stewart, Mrs. Tom Scott,

Every possible precaution has been
taken TO have the program go off with
out a hitch, and the credit of these de-
tails is due largely to the effective work

Caledonians: Chief II. X. McLennan,
