THE CITRUS FAIR.

Governor Waterman Asked to
Speak-Pasadena Preparations.
Governor Waterman will be invited to
make the opening speech at the citrus
fair. The first night will be made the
occasion of special reception to the Wis.
itors who will be in the city during fair
week. A large room in the Pavilion will
be fitted up for dancing, and good music
will be in attendance. AS Governor
Waterman made the opening speech at
the beginning of the northern fair it is
supposed he will accept the invitation
which Superintendent Grey has sent
him.
The orange growers of Pasadena pro.
pose to exert themselves in preparing q
display in the citrus fair which shall do
credit to their section. A meeting was
recently held and large committee was
appointed TO undertake the work. 1t
consists of: Byron o. Clark, o. n.

A LIVELY MONTH.
A umber OF Things Are Go
1tO Come or I'm uu.

A Number OF Things Are
9to Come OFF in March,
The prospect is that the month NJ
March will see a livelier state of thing.
in Los Angeles than has existed here 70,
some time. Tourist travel, which ba,
steadily been picking up, will have
reached its height by that time. The
citrus fair will begin on the 11th of the
month and last five days. From the re.
turns coming in from all parts of South.
ern California. the prospect is that it will
be one OF the most successful affairs Of
its kind ever undertaken in the State.
The attendance will probably be very
large. During the same week the con.
vention of the fruit-growers of the State,
under the auspices of the Horticultural
society, will take place. This will prob
ably attract several hundred of the
most prominent agriculturists tf
the State to Los Angeles. The first
annual convention of the County
horticultural Commissioners, three from
each county in the State, will take place
at the same time.
The State Teachers Convention will
Degln on the 18th of the month, two days
after the fair closes. 1t will be attended
by several hundred teachers, from all
over the State, and as it follows so soon
after the citrus fair it is not improbable
that many of the educationalists will
arrive few days before the convention
opens to take an object lesson at the
fair.
At the same time the meeting of the
Transcontinental Railway Traffic Associ-
alton will take place at Coronado. This
will attract large number of railway
men, the representatives of ten or fifteen
lines, and it is supposed that they will
make an excursion to Los Angeles while
the fair is in progress. The chances are
that Los Angeles will have to provide fol
several thousand visitors during this
month, and that the hotel and railroad
people will have plenty to do.

California state Directory.

The canvass is now in progress in Los
Angeles for the next volume of r. L..
Polk & Co.'s California State Gazetteer
and Business Directory" This is now a
recognized standard publication. Their
book for 1888 gave universal satisfaction,
approved everywhere for its completeness
in all details. The work is issued bien-
nially. The book for 1890 will come fully
up to the standard, and the publishers
propose to add number of new features.
Every care will be taken to give every
town, village and postoffice in the State,
with careful descriptive sketch and the
name of every person in business. Los
Angeles received a good send.off in the
last book, and will in the next. The
business men of the city owe it to them
selves and to the credit of the city to give
this forthcoming book generous patron
age.
The canvass for Los Angeles has been
Intentionally delayed in order that the
book may give all the new numbers and
new names to the streets. This will be
very important and valuable feature of
the next book.
