COUNTY BUSINESS
The Standing Committees of ths Super
yisors are Appointed.

The Standing Committees of the Super
visors are Appointed.
The new Board of Supervisors got down
to business yesterday.
All of the members were present, and
Chairman Greer presided.
After the minutes of Mondays session
had been read a dispute arose as to whether
Mr.. Greer could sign them, as part of them
were the proceedings of the old Board, over
which Mr. Ross presided. The matter was
finally referred to the District ATTORNEY.
The petition OF Sperry Dye and others
for new county road near Isleton was
taken up, and Dye addressed the Board in
support of the petition. He said the road
would be great benefit to persons living
in its vicinity.
o. T. Allender, who also lives near Isle-
ton, opposed the new road. be said it
would injure his land by cutting it in two
sections, and besides, ne did not think the
road was needed.
After some further talk on the subject.
Supervisors Miller and Jenkins stated that
they were unfamiliar with the locality of
the proposed new road, and as an expendi-
ture of considerable money would be en-
tailed, they preferred to inform themselves
further before voting.
The matter was accordingly laid over
for two months.
At the afternoon session the petition of
j. F. Cross and others for new county
road, connecting the Auburn and Antelope
roads, was heard.
In this case nearly everybody was in
favor OF the proposed road, but only one
of the petitioners was willing to donate the
land for it to the county. They wanted
the county to buy the land and to pay them
for fencing the road.
Supervisor Bates suggested that they
could not want the road very bad, and
moved that the petition be denied.
The motion was adopted.
On motion OF Mr.. Miller, the same rules
as governed the Board last year were
adopted for the ensuing term.
Chairman Greer announced the standing
committees of the new Board as follows:
Judiciary Committee-Miller, Bates and
Jenkins. Accounts and Expenditures
Bates, Miller and Black Public Buildings
Black, Miller and Jenkins. County
Hospital = Jenkins, Miller, Black and
Bates. Contracts and Printing-Miller,
Black and Jenkins. Roads and Bridges
Jenkins, Bates and Black. Education and
Schools-Black, Miller and Bates.
The Board then took a recess until TO-

fession as the Chronicle charges; by no
possible torturing of language can any
such thought be wrung from anything that
has appeared in the REooRD-UNIoN. The
Chronicle well knows this, and its insist
ence upon what is untrue puts us to the
disagreeable necessity of charging it with
willful Misrepresentation.
The REcoRD-UNIoN has said, and says,
that under no one of the modified forms
of the Australian ballot system is the
voter deprived of knowledge of who are
candidates until he enters the voting
booth. On the contrary, we have re-
peatedly and clearly asserted in this de-
bate, in which the Chronicle has been
pinned to the wall, that every pains is
taken to post the list of candidates, to
print copies Of the official tickets, to give
the widest publicity for weeks and DAYS
prior to the election of the list of candi.
dates; that no means now open for in
forming the voter prior to voting is closed
by any of the reform laws. Can the
Chronicle understand SO much of plain
English? Has it the honesty to conduct
the debate upon that basis of fact?
Again, no one contends for the adoption
of the Australian system pure and simple
in any State of the Union 1t is not
adapted to our conditions or political sys-
tenn. What is claimed is credit for any
one of nine American systems, based upon
the principle of the official ballot, and the
secret polling booth. Our reform laws
provide for perfect freedom on the part OF
voter; his protection from domination,
oversight, menace or threat his receipt OF
an official ballot that ne may easily mark
his preferences; the assurance that the
same ballot is cast; for assistance to the
illierate, the blind and the palsied for
perfect freedom of the polling place from
crowds, and vet for the perfect publicity
of the act of voting and full opportunity
to challenge.
The apparent absolute ignorance of the
Chronicle upon the reform systems is as
sumed. 1t knows perfectly well what the
laws are. They are in book form, at its
very elbow; it assumes the air of ignor-
ance to cover Interior designs, and to enable
it TO assert as fact that which in truth
does not and never did exist.
| We had hoped, in the common interes;
of truth and the attainment of the best
possible ballot systems, to have debated
this question with the solitary opponent
of the reform system; but that becomes
impossible when one of the disputants in.

LET us entertain the hope, now that the
Citrus Fair is about to open at Marysville,
that our people will SO adjust business as
to attend in large numbers. Sacramento
is just as deeply interested in the success
of the fair as is any other part of the
semi-tropic district. One of the essentials
of success is large attendance by our
people. We must manifest the faith that
is in US by being patrons of our own. We
renew the suggestion to the committee in
charge at Marysvllie, that it give large
share of its attention to securing the most
elaborate reports TO be sent abroad over
the wires. The mere fact that such fair
is held in California in midwinter, if well
heralded abroad, will in itself compensate
for all the cost and labor of promoting the
exposition.

il would be possible for a man to enter a booth
and make an intelligent scrutiny Of 800 names

would give exactly ten seconds for each name.
OF course the feat would be impossible, and the
result would be substitution OF straight party

grown up in this State since the adoption of our
reform system, which has all of the good and
none of the bad features of the mongrel Aus

Australian systems contains an approach to the
fundamental ideas OF the foreigners who origi-

objection to anything like recognition OF par

clothes one gets, alas! very tired OF
writing-and sent to Newport for the
late summer practice.
Over the rail of a trim little yacht
with black hull and white sails there
leaned all day yesterday groups of girls
watching the dazzling water and the
maneuvers of the gulls 1t was an
ideal day for a yachting party, and it
brought out some ideal water gowns.
There were white hannels with blue
shirts, gray hannels with pink shirts,
and brown flannels turned up with
hens of gold braid As a rule most of
the decorative responsibility of the cos
tune seemed to rest upon the bodice
and the hat, as in case of a black serge
skirt worn with a white shirt, upon
which the tawny orange tie hung, har-
monized with a bunch of variegated
roses on the black chip hat
There was a black and white striped
dress crowned with basket work hat
trimmed with powder blue velvet,
which accorded wonderfully with the
yellow hair it rested upon. There was
a white serge that was closely spotted
with mauve, and dark blue serge with
full blouse and sleeves of that univer-
sally used material, pinkish howered
Chiffon. Another curious phenomenon
was a fine white flannel trimmed with
black chiffon frills and worn with u
little black hat with white wings.
The costume shown in the sketch was
of white serge with white silk blouse
and REFER of navy blue with white
cuffs. A frocl of red cotton, for even
on the water cotton is not wholly aban-
doned was printed with small white
hOrseshoes and worn with large black
hat trimmed with red chiffon and white
wings.
There are not so many new things in
! evening dress, and yet the summer
dande gowns are picturesque in shape
and in color. Strings of bluebells or
daisies are festooned about the muslin
hounces, and flower chains fall from
the waist almost TO the ground. The
new silk muslins are patterned with yel-
low grain spikes, and with gorgeous
pomegranates and cactus blooms.
A pale blue muslin is figured with
horse chestnut leaves. A full ruche of
pinked-out silk borders the skirt, and
| there are shoulder knots and waist fulls
| of the same material.
A delicate green silk is girdled at the
waist with green beads. Itlls a flounce
of silk embroidered green chiffon about
the bottom of the skirt, and low bod
ice with chiffon festoons.
A white corded silk embroidered with
buttercups is uncommon in design.
Guipure lace is arranged to form van
dykes about the skirt, the points upper.

woman who had IL on. Under her broad
white bathing hat with its black trim
mings showed the black sailor scarf at
her throat and the black ribbons knot
ting up her short white sleeves.
It is four or five days since I was At
Long Branch, but picked up there, no
moro than at Newport or the Pier, ma
tcrial for any bathing SUIT defamation.
There has been little bathing at the
Branch since the tragic death Of young
Brokaw, but when the girls 80 into the
water it is in suits less demure than at
Newport and less bright than at the
Pier. Dark blue and black are the reg.
ulation colors, and Che woman who
wishes 60 enliven them does so with
many rows of white braid Brown and
yellow was, perhaps, the most striking
combination, worn by a girl with short,
tawny locks turning up in her neck in
loose half curls Her skull cap of oiled
silk had a kerchief Of brown and
yellow plaid twisted about it, and
with a brown blouse and yellow neck
scarf she wore q short full brown and
yellow skirt and brown stockings.
There were girls in red and white
stripes and girls in white and yellow;
there were girls with bare necks and no
sleeves; there were girls in broad bath
ing hats and girls in little skull caps,
but there were no girls whom it was
not quite permissible TO look upon.
IT is pity that girls who play tennis
do not pay more regard to one anothers
costumes, but persist in dressing them
selves in such disastrous discords. 1t
spoils the prettiest Of lawn pictures to
see a girl in bright scarlet cap and
blazer playiugin the same set with one
gowned in buttercup yellow.
Amelie Bives Chanler was induced to
play half an hour the other afternoon,
and her tennis toilet was as picturesque
as might have been expected; she is
even more beautiful than before she
went abroad for her face has more sem
sitivencss and expression. She wore q
white flannel skirt with pink silk
blouse and the most bcwitching of rus
tichats garlanded with pink roses. She
did not play well, however, for in
France one gets out of practice, tennis
being too active game for the Partisan.

and the girl who bathes, especially if
she is the girl who swims, must have
her arms and legs free and be as little
burdened as possible. Bare arms and
feet are not immodest i'm the water, and
the old meal bag suits were not only
inconvenient, but dangerous. Nine
girls in every ten take TO the friendly
shelter of long bathing cloal1s, when
in dripping and clinging garments they
emerge from the water between the
long lines of staring spectators, and so
l did not feel myself called upon to pre-
tend TO any especial horror of a pale
yellow surah, braided in blue, even
though its wearer was inconsiderate
enough 20 be pretty, TO be blonde, TO
wear blue silk kerchief twisted about
her curly locks. after the fashion Of a
Creole turban, and TO wear her back
hair in long Marguerite braids.
There was one suit in striped black
and white surah that was very pretty
on the brown-haired rosy mite of a
