Mr.. Thorp of Newcastle spoke in favor OF
Marysville.
Mr.. Jones remarked that he would guar
antee that, if the fair is located at Oroville,
there would be nc transhipment of ex4
hibits.
Mr.. Davis of Marysvllle said it was agree
able for his county to submit the matter OF
location.
Director Shippee gave notice that San
Joaquin county would next year contest

On motion of Director Chase the Board
went into executive session to consider the
claims of OroYille and Merysville.
On motion of Director Boggs 1t was or
dered that the committee representing Oro-
vile be required to guarantee that If their
city should be selected as the place for
holding the first State Citrus Fair, they
would guarantee not to hold Citrus Fair
next season at 0roville; that location be
made on this condition, and that they fur
Their agree to pay the expenses of the Super
intendent and expenses of the Committee
of Managers from this Board from the re-
ceipts.
Senator Jones, on behalf of the delega-
ton, gave the guarantee, and PRESIDENT
Green thereupon declared Orovllle as the
place in which to hold the citrus fair.
The date of the commencement OF the
fair was fixed on January 7, 1890, the same
time set by the citizens of Oroville to hold
their fair Director Hancock was also ap-
pointed to superintend this fair.

THE Los ANGELES FAIR.
When the meeting became public sgain
a communication was read from the Los
Angeles Board of Trade, giving notice that
on November LIST meeting would be held
for the purpose of devising ways and means
for the holding Of the Southern Citrus Fair.
The advice of the Directors was asked.
Director Briggs said that when Mr.. Han
cock was appointed Superintendent of the
Los Angeles Fair it was not expected that
he would take the active management of
the fair. He is to see that the 81 500 to be
given for premiums was not missppropri-
ated, in view of the fact that the Directors
were held responsible.
Director Shippee said that the Superin-
tendent would not be governed by Northern
California. He is to see that the fair is
held in proper manner, and not to man
age it in way that would be offensive.
The Society will direct the Superintendent
to have the Los Angeles Board of Trade
appoint an assistant who thoroughly uu
derstands the business.
Director Chase said that Mr.. Hancock
would conduct the fair in a manner that
not alone would reflect credit on himself,
but on the State. No bazaars nor adver-
Using schemes, such as are allowed in the
Mechanics Fair, should be tolerated in the
Los Angeles fair. The details of the fair
will be in charge of the Los Angeles peo-
pie.
Director Cox said that the fair would be
in good hands.
Mr.. Shippee said that the reason of Mr..
Hancock's appointment was that he was
the Superintendent of the first Citrus Fair
ever held in Northern and Central Califor-
MIA. He had been tried and found capa-
BILE. Marysville and Oroville have said
that they were anxious to have his services
in case they held fairs.
On motion of Director Chase, President
Green was authorized to accompany Mr..
Hancock to Los Angeles to-day. Toe gen.
tlemen were directed to explain to the Los
Angeles Board of Trade the Directors posi-
ton in the matter. The question of premi-
ums was LETT to them.
PROPOSED HISTORICAL EXHIBIT.
A committee Of Sacramento citizens ap-
peared before the Board, representing an
organization recently made at a meeting
over which Mayor Gregory presided. There
were eight or ten of the committee present
and in the absence of the Chairman, David
Lubin was made spokesman. He said the
committee desired to notify the Board of
the resolutions of citizens of Sacramento,
who held meeting recently to consider
the subject, to have Pacific coast exhlbi-
ton in 1892, and it was desired to know if
the Board would approve the idea and give
it Endorsement. II was explained tina. it
would be held at the time of the State Fair,
and auxiliary to it; that it was the inten-
ton to make it an ethnic exhibition to
show articles from all Pacific States
illustrative of their history, the
character of the people, their GUS
toms, costumery, arms, implements
of industry, etc.. from their earlier to their
later dates, and perhaps to have some
tribes of aboriginees exhibit The idea
was to have historical exhibition in the
chief of the Pacific States, and at the Capt.
tai of that State. 1t was believed that all
Pacific coast and South American coun-
tries would contribute to such an exhibit
uOn, ana certainly all NOrtn American
States and Territories on this coast would
be represented. 1t was added that in the
four hundredth centennial year there are to
be numerous expositions in different States,
and that now proposed was intended
to attract visitors to the coast, and to crafty
and inform our own people also.
President Green and Director Chase re-
piled that the Board certainly would give
countenance and moral support and en-
enlargement to such a scheme, and they
congratulated the Capital City for pre-
empting the idea. At the evening session
the Board considered the matter, and au-
thorized the Secretary to notify the COM
mittee that it would give approval and
moral support to the scheme, but could not
extend financial aid.
Alter four-hours' session the Board adj
journed.
