General Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman has
secured free transportation over the several

This is the best opportunity ever offered for

All present agreed that this was an ex-
cheaply in The East, and one that should
not be missed. Just how it could be done
cheaply and the best course to pursue
caused considerable discussion.
The first proposition was to hire live,
energetic man to go out for few days and
purchase and solicit donations of that class
of products produced in this section which,
in his opinion, would prove the most at
tractive display in New England.
DR.. Simmons thought that our oranges
and lemons that are now beginning to
color would be ripe enough to send by
the LIST of December, and our mammoth
and highly colored japanese persimmons
would make the New Englanders open
their ewes to see such wonderful fruit.
Ed. f. Aiken suggested that the matter
of selecting and collecting the exhibit be
left to the Manager of the Permanent Ex-
hibit building. He thought the samples of
dried fruits should be put up in shallow
boxes, holding say five to seven pounds,
and that they be neatly pressed and Dor
dered with fancy paper, in order TO show
them of to the best possible advantage.
F. K. Dray thought that the fruit could
be purchased in the markets here, and the
amount required to pay q man to travel
around for three or four days would pur
chase several varieties. He thought Mr..
Aiken's suggestion, of packing in neat and
shallow cases. a good one.
Dr.. Simmons said there was some fruit
could not be bought but which would be
freely donated if the parties having it were
solicited. He referred to oranges, lemons
and persimmons, and mentioned several
parties who never failed 10 contribute for
exhibition purposes.
A gentleman present said ne thought
be had the finest persimmons in the city;
they were large and finely-colored, and be
would supply all of that fruit required
Judge Beatty said it would be good idea
to ask citizens of the city who had citrus
fruits to spare, to send the same to the ex-
hibit building about the last of the month,
so that it could be packed and properly
labeled.
Finally the entire matter was referred to
the Permanent Exhibit Committee, OF
which Mr. Green is Chairman. He was
present and stated that his committee
would take it in hand and attend to il
properly.
Mr.. Green and Mr.. Baker will appear be-
fore the Board of City Trustees on Monday
next and solicit a contribution 10 defray
the expense of getting up some printed
matter.
STREET IMPROVEMENT.
Before adjournment Mr.. Aiken brought
up the matter of the gravelng OF street
He said il was one of the principal streets
of the city and travelled by all who came
from the eastern portion of the county
Last winter it was almost impossible il
some places, and the recent rains have
maje some portions of it almost unfit Il
travel over He said the block between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth was nothing
more nor less than a quagmire. He sale
he would not ask that the entire street b,
graveleG, but that loads be hauled upon th,
center and make at least one good sole
track This would cost but a trifiing out
lay, and tie city should do it without de
lay.
Mr.. Aiken and Mr.. Green were appointed
a committee of two to lay the matter be
fore the Trustees on Monday next.
