grandest exposition of the kind ever seen
on the Pacific Coast.
Captain T. b. Hall presided.
The resolution adopted at the last meet
ing urging the Board of Supervisors to
appropriate 81 800 for county exhibit at
the Worlds Fair was amended so as to
include a recommendation that the avail
able portion of this exhibit be also shown
at the approaching State Fair, so that the
people might get an idea of what kind Of
a showing Sacramento was likely to
make at the big Chicago show.
The Chairman reported that in accord
ance with the order made at the last
meeting he had appointed sub-commit-
tees on special features at the fair as fol
lows: Historical-David Lubin, Joseph

1t was agreed that the Chairmen Of
these committees could suggest persons
whom they desired added to their com
mittees at the next meeting.
Mr.. Lubln wanted TO know something
about the manner in which the money at
the committees disposal was to be
handled. Each special feature was linn
tied to a certain amount of money and il
no S0id hot
tees having charge OF the features should
know how they were to handle the
money.
Edwin F. Smith, Secretary of the State
Agricultural Society, who was present to
give the association what information and
the 5000 guaranteed by the association
would not be called upon by the State So
clety unless the receipts of this years tair
fell behind those OF 1891. The fund at
the disposal of the society was
IN the nature of an expensesfund, and
could be drawn upon at any time by the
committees, by presenting their bills to
HIM. Mr.. Smith said that he had not con-
suited with Chairman Cox of the State
society regarding what proportion Of the
funds should be devoted to premiums for
the features. Mn Cox is out of the CITY.
but when he returns the matter will be
attended to. Mr.. Smith gave the commit
SSSo SOlAlS NSbAudO4O
the collection of eXhibits-information
that had cost him years of experience in
the business.
A resolution was adopted giving each
subcommittee full power to act to the
extent of the appropriation set apart for
the particular feature in the hands of that
committee, the idea being TO hold each
committee responsible for its appropria-
ton, so that there will be no confusion
When MIR. Cox returns he will appoint
one member of the State Society for each
Ofthe subcommittee.
A committee of three, consisting of T.
B. Hall, Edwin +. Smith and w. d. Law
ton, was appointed to assist in advertising
the fair and the special attractions that
are to be shown.
The subcommittee will go to work at
once, and judging from the interest
shown at last evenings meeting will vie
with each other to see which of them will
make the best showing. They will re-
port progress at the next meeting of the
association.
