AFTER THE FAIR.
Suggestions in Regard to Something
New for Next Year.
The Interest That Would be Mani
tested in a Great University
Contest.

A new feature for the next State Fair
and one of absorbing interest to class
that cannot be attracted by the usual
methods might be arranged by a contest
between our two great universities,
which are SO evenly matched, and are the
pride Of the State. After conference be-
tween directors of the fair and manage
ment of the universities, let a series of
contests be arranged on as extensive
scale as seemed desirable. Suppose that
the athletic contests should include foot
ball, baseball, tug-of-war between teams
from each class, long-distance races,
hurdle races, tennis, etc.
Let oratorical, literary and elocution-
airy contests be arranged between classes.
Let petitive displays be made of chem
zeal work, geological, chronological and
botanical classification and all along the
many lines of scientific work that would
suggest themselves to heads of depart
ments. Let an orator be chosen by the
administration of each university to
represent its case, and show why it
should be awarded the grand prize for
display of system of instruction best
calculated TO promote interests of Cali
fornia. Let the judges be composed of
lIOIll dDIOdU 1ilOSI
in executive departments of great uni
versities, and each give the grounds of
his decision in carefully prepared argu-
ment, rich in suggestions for improve
ment along the line of higher culture.
The report of such a contest should be
very suggestive to the management of
similar institutions and be valued among
educators the world over, thus advertis-
ing those attractions Of California in
which we have reason to take most pride.
Those who saw San Francisco turned
upside down by the football game last
winter can imagine ithe excitement of
general contest lasting week or more.
Everybody in the State would take sides.
They would come back from the Worlds
Fair to see it. Every little boy or girl
would wear the colors of his favorite uni
verSity. Our electric cars would be turned
into tally-ho coaches. The whole world
would know of the leading features of the
contest and an ambition to acquire a thor
ough education would be born in thou
sands of minds.
the various rooms in the State Capitol
and the great Pavilion would be available
for literary and oratoricaI contests and
the Park for athletic games. Here is a
chance to turn the fair in the direction OF
ideas and awaken the most exciting COM
petition possible and Of so varied a ma
ture as to suit all tastes. It should draw
out tens of thousands who never attended
