noon-Prominent speakers-Super-
pervisor Greer on the Outlook.

AL O'Clock tomorrow afternoon the
WORLDS talr mass meeting viii take
place at the Courthouse, and it is ex-
pected that there will be a large gathering
OF persons from all parts of the city and
county who are interested in seeing sac
ramento properly represented at the great
Chicago exposition.
Inc committee having charge of the ar
Engagements announced yesterday that
me meeting would be addressed by Will
iain I'll. Mills of San Francisco and Secre-
L2ry Thompson of the California Worlds
ar Commission; also by Grove L. John
son, Robert T. Devlin and other prorni-
nent Sacramentans.
Supervisor Greer, who is taking an act
we part in the matter, was in the city
yesterday looking after some Of the de-
tails Of the proposed meeting. Being ac-
eosted on the street by RECORD UNION
reporter, who wanted to know something
about the prospects, Mr.. Greer said: II
could not imagine anything brighter
that is regarding the outlook for
fine Sacramento display. / have
been talking about it with people
all through the county, and they are all
enthusiastic over the subject. II the
weather is only pleasant Saturday 1
think we will have large attendance
from the country. Still, even il the meet
lug is not very big one, it would not in
Gicate that the people are not alive to the
situation. Many of them would have to
Gravel many miles TO get here, and as ali
the farmers are very busy just now some
might stay at home-but not many"
Has the local association laid out any
plans by which it proposes to operate ?''
asked the reporter.
Wei, not yet" replied MIR. Greer.
Most of that work, you see, will fall
upon the Executive Committee of fifty,
which was appointed three days ago. We
took pains in appointing that committee
to select men who represent every branch
OfinduStry. Now this committee will meet
as soon as possible after the mass meeting,
and viii divide Itself OFT into Sub-comnIt-
tees on horticulture, agriculture. viii
culture, cereals, and minerals, stone and
wood. To each of these subcommittee
viii be designated positively what its
duties are, so that there will be no clash
zng, and rivalry will naturally spring up
between them which cannot help bene-
fitting the general scheme.
Now l have an idea which / intend to
propose to the association" continued
Mr.. Greer. Il believe that in connection
with the Executive Committee there
should be a ladies' committee, of say
forty members-as sort of auxiliary
sistance, as they will take as much if not
more interest than the men-see if they
cont"
How about the association member
ships?" queried the scribe.
oh, were getting in lots of members.
Everybody wants to join in ana help the
exhibit along. | am speaking, of course,
1or my constituents in the country. We
Will have all of the farmers in before
long. Regarding memberships, | have
another scheme, and that is to establish
honorary memberships. by this plan
our Sacramento association will have
honorary members residing in the East.
The local members may buy these hon
orary membership tickets and send them
to their friends in the East, making them
members of the Sacramento County
Worlds Fair Association. Then when
they go to the Worlds Fair they will go
right TO our exhibit and whoop it up for
Sacramento with the natives. Oh, if YOU
think Sacramento is not going to be in it
ut the big fair, just drop around to that
mass meeting Saturday and bring your
friends along, too.'
