I. Coleman. The letter sets forth that the
exhibit already far exceeds the expectations
of the most sanguine of citrus fruit-growers

would see these exhibits there but thou
sands more would see them if they were
in some good hail in San Francisco. Pres
ldent Cornwall suggested the offer of the
Pavilion, with merely nominal charge
for admission. which, together with
donations, will be expended in Judi
ciously advertising the advantages of
the State abroad. He proposed, also,
that the managers and exhibit
ors at Sacramento should be in
formed that the business would be arranged
and conducted here without any expense
TO them, and that the railroad companies
would be asked to give free Transportation
to the exhibits. The Board concurred in
the favorable view of the proposition taken
by the President, and, on motion. Trustees
Charles l. Bassett and David Kerr were
appointed committee to proceed to Sacra-
mento and inform the managers there of
the acceptance of their proposition by the
business men of San Francisco, and that
the whole matter would be attended to
without any expense to them.
