MUST GET A MOVE on"
Captain Hall Says Sacramento Must
Be at the Citrus Fair.
An Opportunity That Should Not be
Oyerlooked-Other Counties at
Work-The Premiums.

There was to have been a meeting of
citizens last evening for the purpose of
arranging for Sacramento exhibit in the
coming big citrus fair at San Francisco,
to be given under the auspices of the
Northern California Citrus Fair Associa-
ton; but either the norther, or Il fear that
some work might attach to the project,
kept most of the invited ones away, and
the meeting fell through
Captain L. B. Hall, President of the as
sociation and one Of the prime movers in
the affair, does not feel discouraged at all,
although he expressed himself last night
to RECoRD-UNIoN reporter as being
somewhat ashamed of Sacramento on ac-
count of the apparent lack Of interest
shown.
OTHER COUNTIES AT WORK.
"Why," said lie. ''tha other counties are
nearly all at work, and viii have dis
plays that they declare will be dazzling.
Butte County has appropriated 81 600 al
ready, to say nothing of the private sub
scriptions that Will be solicited nor of
the donations Of fruit that will be made.
Placer IS also active. and, as has been
the case at previous fairs, will strive
to out-do Butte. Up there they consider
ION account of previous eXperiencesl that
the fight for supremacy lies between
these TWO counties. But my Opin-
ion is that they will not have such an
easy time OF II this time, because several
other counties have gotten to work qui-
etly and intend to give the old champions
hard rub. Nuoa and Sutter are among
the foremost Of these, and / am told that
there will be some surprises from So
niNI nF hi.n-Ty =
ers. Now, what's the matter with Sacra-
mento? Here we are, right in the midst
OF these enterprising counties, and can
make as good display as any Of them,
yet you can't get anybody to move with
out driving them"
MEANS BUSINESS.
Continuing, the Captain said he pro-
poses to see that Sacramento is repre-
sented at the fair, and we'll at that. "Now
l'll tell you just what I'm going to do
about IT," he said determinedly. "Fm
going TO geJ out tomorrow and grab
about a dozen Of our best citizens and
business men by the collars, and Pm go
ing to make them promise me that thev
Will help out. We will make q personal
canvass of the city for funds and for con-
| tributlons of fruit. There are oranges
enough right here in our town gardens 10
make one of the best displays at the fair,
and | know that if they are only asked
the citizens Will give them freely. The
Supervisors have the authority TO apDro-
PIRATE the 5l,009 in the immigration fund
for the fair, but my idea is to only ask
thom for $500. Then we can collect an
other $500 here in town. | think $500
viii cover the expense.
Why, sir, this is an opportunity that
we Should not dream OF overlooking.
The fair Will take place during, and be
virtually part OF, the great Worlds
Fair dress rehearsaI"- an exposition the
like OF which probably has never been
seen on the coast. Ii will be seen by q
! thousand where our former fairs We're
seen by one. Every northern county is
going TO put her best foot forward, and it
would be pity for SacramentO-a county
that can outshIne them all if she wants
toto stand back. She won't do it if |
can help it, and | think | can find some
more people in town-a good many of
them, in fact, when they find out how the
matter stands-who viii feel as l do
about it."
