The Board OF Directors of the Chamber
of Commerce met yesterday afternoon
with Hervey Lindley in the chair. A
committee representing the pioneers o.
the city was present. 1t contained Ma
jor Bell, Colonel r. S. Baker and Gen.
eral f. +. Hewitt. The question of the
entertainment of the excursion of New
England FortyNiners which will arrive
in this city the last of next week, was
treated 10 Il considerable amount of dis.
cussion. General Hewitt's idea was
that special train should be sent out to
meet them at Raymond in the morning
and take them down to Santa Monica.
They should be brought back to the city
in the afternoon and taken for drive.
In the evening there should be recep-
ton at the hall of the Chamber of Com
merce. The matter of banquet was
given some discussion.
No action of any kind was taken, for
the reason that it is not known yet just
when the excursionists will arrive in
this vicinity There will be time enough
to make arrangements after they leave
Albuquerque. The pioneers were asked
to meet tomorrow evening at the rooms
of the chamber at O'Clock and consider
what further action can be taken. The
excursionists will probably number two
hundred.
The secretary OF the chamber was in
structed to extend formal invitation to
the Medical Society to attend recep-
ton in their honor, given at the cham
ber next Wednesday, IL to l p. m.
BY the vote of the board, DR.. j. II.
Bryant was chosen a special commits
sioner for the chamber to confer with
the Worlds Fair authorities at Chicago
this coming summer, and to ascertain
what space Southern California can
have and what buildings are needed.
BY vote of the board the public schools
were invited to make display of the
best work of their scholars in the per-
manent exhibit.
A number of bills were audited and
routine business transacted, and the
board adjourned.
The Permanent Exhibit.
The Native Daughters of the Golden
West are at work on the miniature of
Suffers fort, which is to go in the main
hall as a museum of relics. Governor
Waterman heard of the plan which the
ladies proposed to carry out, and that the
fort was in need of flag. Yesterday a
large bundle came by express, which,
when opened, was found to contain
large, fine flag. The ladies were much
delighted at the gift, but they were also
somewhat embarrassed. The building
which they propose to put up will be
five feet by twelve in size. The flag
which was sent is about twenty feet by
ten, long enough to cover over the entire
building when completed. The ladies
will make the best use they can Of it,
and are grateful for the flag, even il it is
a slight misfit.
