Excursions Poorly Patronized.
ers, among whom were several
Knights, visited Palo Alto yesterday. They came out on tbe early
trains, and after several hours
spent in sight-seeing, both in town
and at the University, retnmed to
the city.
Tbe .work of grading Bryant
street bos began and each block
that has been sidewolked is being
plowed and cut to the sidewalk
level. In some places cats often
and twelve inches have to be made.
The excursion yesterday was not
very well patronized, and it would
seem that tbe wisest course would
be to postpone tbe advertised list of
Wishbone trips until next week.
Many of the trains bearing Knights
from the East have just arrived in
Sau Francisco, and there are so
many attractions offered there this
week it is difficult to get strangers while in others a like depth re-
