Communication to the Public in Regard
to the Convention.
Active interest is being taken in the
preparations for holding the State Worlds
Fair Convention in San francisco next
month. An earnest worker for the success
of the Convention is Secretary Thomas J..
Haynes, and he is kept busy registering the
names of delegates as they are sent in, an
swering hundreds of inquiries that are
coming from all sections in the State, and
attending to minor details that need careful
watching.
He has prepared letter for the general
public, which is printed below, and the
request is made that the papers devote
space TO the same, so that the whole subject
can be made known throughout the entire
State. Many societies are sending letters
in asking if they are entitled to representa-
| ton, and the letter of Secretary Haynes
will answer the question. A complete list
of societies that have sent in the names of
delegates to date is also printed for the first
time, but there are yet quite number to
hear from, and early attention to the mat
ter will assist the Secretary to very great
extent.
OFFICE OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, CALI
FoRNIA STATE WORLDS FAIR CoNvEN-
TIoN SAN FRANCISCO, August 2S, 1890.
To the Public: At meeting OF the various in.
dustrial and commercial associations held on

O. elock in the morning of September 11th
Special printed circulars have been sent TO
the Supervisors and Town Councils of each
county, and to all associations known to the
SecretaTy-some five hundred in all. The list
appended hereto will show the number of dele
gates whose names have been received and re-
corded. 1t will be noted that many organiza-
tions and newspapers have not yet been heard
from, and although they may consider it as
well to present their crede. tials at the opening
of the Convention, it is respectfully urged that
the names of their delegates be sent lmmedi-
ately in order that cards of admission may be
issued them and seats assigned, thus avoiding
unnecessary confusion and loss of time, the
Executive Committee having considered it
proper that the representatives from each coun.
ty be seated together.
Letters have been received from several
oranges and Ladies Annexes to Chambers of
Commerce asking whether they are entitled to
representation, in reply to which, permit me to
say that all associations within the State organ
lied for the promotion of the welfare of the
commonweal h, and not of q secret character,
are not only entitled to representation, but are
urgently requested to name their delegates
forthwith.
The Governor of the State of California, the
State Worlds Fair Commissioners and their al
ternates, the Mayor of each city and the Chair
man of each County Board OF Supervisors, the
President or Vice President of each commercial
and industrial organization and the Executive
Committee of ten, having the call of this Con-
vention in charge, are invited as delegates ex-
ofieio. Each County Board of Supervisors and
each State organization is entitled 10 repre-
sentatiou of five; each newspaper, one; and each
other organization, two.
The Southern Pacific Company has granted
special transportation to delegates at the rate of
one and ethird of the cost for regular round
trips; that is to say, full fare to San Francisco
and reduction of two thirds for the return trip.
Arrangements will also be made for special
rates with the other railroads and the Coast
Steamship Company; ali of which will be duly
made known to each delegate by circular let
ter.
The importance of this Convention composed,
as it will be. of representatives from every
county in the State, from Siskiyou to San Diego.
tons as have not yet named their delegate and
be sufficient to urge them to respond to their in
yitations at the earliest possible moment.
