that time urged two propositions; one to hold
the exhibition in tne city of Paris and the other
to hold the exhibition in the city ofLondOn, and
as no choice between the two places could at

point TWO committees, one TO. report on the ad-
visibility Of holding an exhibition in the city of
Paris, and the other on the adviSability of hold
ing an exhibition in the city of London, each of
the committees to report at the next meeting of

ofgreat importance TO the State of California,

do raise. 1t was further resolved that it is the
