Sacramento Daily Record-Union Monday, July 5, 1880 TO-DAY'S CELEBRATION What is to be Done, and the Order of its Doing The celebration of the one hundred and fourth anniversary of the nationís birth really began Saturday evening. Despite orders of the Chief of Police YOUNG America opened the annual bombardment at that time and kept it up until a late hour. At several private residences there were displays of fireworks and illuminations for the benefit of the youth of the household, who after all are better pleased with the simple pyrotechnics which father and mother provide ìat home,î than with the more elaborate displays at public expense. YESTERDAY The flag of our country was flung to the breeze from every flagstaff, and many residences and public buildings were dressed richly in evergreens and flags in honor of the day. The old custom, peculiar to Sacramento, of dressing the streets with green boughs, was entered upon on Saturday, and by to-day the usual bowers of green will present their pleasing lines to the eye along J, K and their cross streets as far up as Eleventh, and from I to L. The celebration to-day promises to be creditable to the city, albeit the exertion has not been to make any extra showing of special display, but rather to observe in a general way the recurrences of the natal day of the nation. To-day is made by law a legal holiday, and hence it was resolved upon by the Committee of Arrangements to celebrate the anniversary which fell on Sunday, this year, upon this day. AT SUNRISE The church bells will be rung for ten minutes, and at the same time the Sacramento Light Artillery, under command of Captain ATWOOD, will fire a salute of thirteen guns - the number representing the thirteen colonies that resolved upon resistance to the mother country. At 8:30 A.M. the staff of the Grand Marshall will assemble at the Capital Hotel, Seventh and K streets. From that place the chief aids and assistants will be dispatched to the places of assembly of the divisions of which they are to have charge in the line. At 9 A.M. the officers of the day and invited guests will assemble in the parlors of the Capital Hotel, and at the same hour the bands of music engaged will report at the heads of their respective divisions. AT 9:30 A.M. The columns will be formed and ready to fall into line as follows: Grand Marshal and Staff on north side of M street, west of Seventh, right resting on Seventh. First Division - On M street, extending west, right resting on left of column of Aids. Second Division - On south side of M street, right resting on Sixth.
