Burlingame’s Luncheon. Just before the President reaches San Francisco he will be given luncheon in the tennis courts of the hotel at Burlingame. The courts are laid out just behind the hotel in a grove of etcalyptus and cypress trees that keep them in #he deepest shade. There will be room for nearly four hun- dred people at the tables which will be set, but the guests will be limited to the members of the Burlingame Country Club and their invited friends. Two rooms in the hotel will be fitted up for the use of the President and Mrs. McKinley, and from the hotel to the courts an arch of flowers will be erected. All along the back of the hotel the geraniwias are in bloom, and when the President comes their brill- jant hues will add color to the scheme of decoration that is planned. Palms and ferns and a wealth of flowers will furnish =% variety and improvement to the natural beauties of the place, and when all is ready the outdoor dining-room will be like a fairy bower. The President will be met at the station of Burlingame by the memmbers of the club. He will be given the best four-in- hand and the best caach in the settlement and will be driven around the suburb until he has seen all its beauties. Then he will be taken to the hotel and to the tables laid under the trees in the tennis court. Presidential Salutes.

SAN JOSE, April 27.—The headquarters of the Carnival of Roses in the City Hall is becoming a very busy place as.the time of the festival approaches. There are more than one hundred men engaged in the active work of management and com- mittee meetings are now a matter of every day. Director General Greeninger, who has the supervision of every depari- ment, is devoting his entire time to seeing that everything is progressing toward a successful issue. The Hotel Vendome, which will be Presi- dent McKinley's residence during his short stay in San Jose, is being beautifuliy decorated for the occasion. Besides the interior decorations which are be- ing made at great expense the bal- cony overlooking the parlors on the east side of the hotel is being inclosed in can- vas and the windows will be removed so that the guests may step from the par- lors to the veranda, making it practically one large room. On this canvas covering huge palm leaves will be matted and jar- dinieres of roses and cut flowers will be placed at intervals in tHe rotunda ard along the hallways. Some of the Presidential party and many of the Ohio delegation who are com- ing - will_be taken.care of at the, Saint Ohio Society seeking accommodations for visitors. Barges have been secured for the visitors at the launching. Burlingame Club has planned.=a splendid welcome. President McKinley has approved the programme arranged. nee T ree, £2 P CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES THAT WILL BE PROMINENT IN THE PROGRAMME OF WELCOME THAT HAS ‘BEEN ARRANGED FOR THE RECEPTION OF PRESIDENT McKINLEY. | E James Hotel, and here, too, there will be appropriate arrangements for the distin- guished guests. The decoration committee at its meet- ing last night decided that the private store decorations should, if possible, be kept In accord with the public decorative scheme. To this end the committee ap- plonted a decorator, who will be officially recognized and will secure contracts for the work of putting in place decorations and flags and will attend to the lantern illumination. A uniformity of artistic ar- rangement will add much to the effective- ness of the display and the expense will be smaller to the merchants. There will be a reception on the even- ing of the 13th to the President’s party. It will be in the nature of a ball given by some of the most prominent people in tha city at the Vendome. Only three hundred tickets will be issued. O. A. Hale is chairman of the committee having this private function in charge and James D. Miner, David Henderson, Alfred Holman and Dr. H. C. Brown are the other mem- bers. "SAN LUIS IS PREPARING. I+ Will Furnish Three-Quarters of an Hour of Enthusiasm.
