mented choir and orchestra, and that
the seminarians from Menlo Park will
be in the sanctuary at st. Mary's ca
thedral during the high mass to be
celebrated by Archbishop Riordan in
honor of Don Gaspar de Portola, is in
dicataive of one of the most solemn
services ever held in San Francisco

day morning, October 10, and will be>a
unique service, in which will be en-
phasized the deep religious significance

eral conversation, asked as to the con-

progress of San Francisco and the

progress of San Francisco and the
state.
There are many of the city's promi-
nent men who have responded to the
call for funds in generous and I'M
stinted manner. To those the commit
tee feels grateful for the assistance
they have lent toward making the Por-
toIa festival one of the grandest ever
celebrated on the Pacific coast. 1t feels
grateful not only to those who have
contributed in large amounts, but TO the
citizen who has donated in small sums
as best he could afford
In reviewing the list of contributors
the committee notes that the names of
some of San Francisco's more promi-
nent citizens have not been enrolled.
To these an urgent invitation is eX-
tended to lend that assistance which
now is necessary to insure for the Por-
tola festival success which will prove
a triumph that will ring round the
world. The committee is of the belief
that if the businessmen and merchants
of the city realized the eXigency OF the
demand for additional funds they
would not neglect what is an all inn
portant duty, duty that devolves upon
every resident of California.
A number of San Francisco's manu-
facturers and large wholesalers have
contributed to the Portola fund, but
some of them have not lent the sub
stantial assistance that others have,
and the committee feels that those
who have made only small contribu-
tions should lend more substantial as
sistance An invitation is extended to
these to send in additional contribu-
lions at once, so that the glittering
success of the Portola festival viii not
be impaired by shortage of funds.
Act now. Send in whatever amount
YOU feel you can afford. Today is the
most opportune time for donations.
