exhibit. There are others of our committee
who have given this matter considerable
thought and: permit me TO suggest TO your
honorable board that you question them in
order to bring as much out at this time re-
gardlng these propositions as 1T is possible to
do under the circumstances.
AT the close of Mr.. Steffens' remarks
Messrs. Coleman, Lubin and Hall ad-
dressed the board upon the importance of
the occasion, and called attention directly
to Items of interest suggested.
CHARLES TURRILL,
Representing the Worlds Fair Commits
sion and Mechanics. Institute, also adj
dressed the board, and stated that it was
the desire cf both the commission and
the Mechanics Institute to aid in every
way possible the collection of a grand
exhibit of agricultural products, to the
end that Calitornia's exhibit may be got
together during the current year, as next
season the opening of the Worlds Fair
Will precede the ripening of our agricult-
ural products. The purpose, said Mr..
Turrill, is to go into the field Immediately
and urge the importance of exhibits of
agricultural products to their fullest eX
tent. We ask the hearty cooperation
and reciprocation of the State Board of
Agriculture in encouraging the exhibit
to be made in San Francisco during the
coming winter.
The State Board of Agriculture received
Mr.. Turrill's remarks with much gratiti-
cation, and accepted the proffered assist
ance, promising their support in return.
After consultation, the board suggested
that the Industrial Association select a
committee from among their number to
meet with the board in executive session
to consider fully all questions at hand.
The meeting then adjourned, and the
industrial Committee held an informal
meeting and named Messrs. A. A. Van
VOORHEES,, d. Lubin, Joseph Steffens, j.
o. Coleman and T. b. Hall as a commit
tee to confer with the State Board, where
upon the State Board and the committee
went into executive session and agreed
upon the following
ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS AND ATTRAC-
TIONS.
No. l. Historical exhibit-to be composed
of all historical data, relics and other SOU
venirs pointing directly to the early history
OF California.
In the formation of this exhibit the
pioneers OF the State will be invited to
take part and aid in showing California s
early history.
No. 2. An extensive and varied State ex-
hibit of minerals, quartz, agate, building
stone, etc.
In the formation of this exhibit the aid
OF William Irelan and the State Mining
Bureau will be asked, and as they have
at all times showed their willingness to
take hold of and complete an exhibit of
this character, it is expected that this will
be strong feature in this years eXposi-
ton.
No. 3, A mining display. The space to be al
loted this exhibit of one of CaliforniaS princi-
pal resources will be the entire northeast
court, embracing an open area of l 90 feet

SteifenS, Van VOORHEES,, Coleman and
Hall from the Industrial Association,
and Hon. j. a. Eilcher Of Placer, Hon. j.
II. Neff and Chas. II. Mitchell, of Ne
vada.
1t being understood that most of this
committee would be in Nevada City on
Saturday of this week, it was suggested
that meeting be then held for the fur
therance of this important matter.
The State Board have from time to time
contemplated an exhibit of this character,
as they believe it due to the mining inter-
est that,a full exhibit of this industry be
made this year as preliminary of the
great exhibit to be made in 1893 at
Chicago.

products in connection with county exhibits

Sented, in excess of, ten counties making q
meritOrious showing.

humorous character would greatly add
to the amusement of visitors, will pro-

the progress made in all classes of manu-
tactures.
The board and the Committee of Con-
ference recognizing the advantage of ex-
hibits of factories in motion to be of great
value to the industrial, and mechanical
interests of California deemed it proper
to appoint committee to select q grand
display of machinery and factories in full
operation. These will be selected with
special reference TO their prominence in
California's manufacturing interests.
The consumer is not, as a rule, aware
of the magnitude of manufacturing enter

board readily sees the vast benefit that
will accrue to the exhibit by display of
this character, and to that end desire to
have an increased showing in this depart
ment.

s. 1t is admitted on all sides that the pres

marked degree, and the State may be
congratulated upon having so many
thorough, painstaking and public-spirited
