INVITATIONS.
The committee on invitations reported
the receipt of 1000 engraved invita-
tions. Five hundred of these have been
mailed to the president, members of the
cabinet and members of congress-, and
the remaining number are being sent
to distinguished people outside of the
territory, and also to public officials
and others in the territory. AS the
number of these invitations Is limited,
it Is necessarily impossible to send
them to all who might be able to come
to Santa Fe for this occasion, and the
committee desires to extend, on behalf
of the people Of this city, cordial in
vitatiOn to all to be present on June A.
whether they receive these formal in
vitations or not.
RAILROAD RATES.
The secretary Of the committee. Mr..
w. H. Pope, reported that the indica
tions are that the low rate Of fare Of
fered by the railroads to the general
public would result in a large attend
ance from all parts of the territory. The
secretary had been directed to continue
correspondence with the Santa Fe rail-
rate for military companies and bands
in uniform. These efforts were crowned
with success, for this morning a tele-
gram was received from Supt. ]. f.
Hurley to the effect that such rate had
been granted.
THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Adjutant General Whiteman has been
in correspondence with the national
guard officers throughout the territory
on the subject of the different compa-
MES coming to Santa Fes for this occa-
sion, and he Is of opinion that one or
more companies each from Albuquer
que, Las Vegas. Las Cruces and per-
haps other points will be here. This
will add greatly to the parade and the
ceremonies generally.
THREE PAGES.
The committee also selected Carlos
Dreamer, John McFie and Charles Gil
dersleeve as pages for the day OF the
BAND MUSIC.
The committee on music was instruct
ed to close arrangements for the pres
enco OF the Las vegas military Oand.
This band Is one of the best In the terri
tory and its presence will aid greatly to
the occasion. 1t has with commend
able public spirit offered to come over
for its expenses.
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
In view of the large crowd now anti
cipated, Mr.. C. G. Wood, lessee of the
Palace hotel, was requested to appear
before the committee, which he did,
with the result that he agreed to have
the dining room OF that hotel open for
the time covered by the capitol festivi-
ties. A committee consisting OF Messrs.
Solomon Spiegelberg, s. g. Cartwright
and Alfredo HinOjos was appointed to
confer with the other hotel proprIetors
as to accommodations and rates. It Is
believed that the hotel accommodations
Of the city will be taxed to their utmost
for this occasion and all who can
furnish meals or board on that occasion
are requested to report to this com
mittee, so that oil visitors may be cared
for.
