Committee of Judges.

The executive committee of the Citrus
Fair association was in session all day
yesterday at the rooms of the chamber
of commerce. There were present
Messrs. E. w. Holmes of Riverside, E.
F. o. Klokke of Los Angeles, John Scott
of Duarte and f. j. Smith of Pomona.
E. w. Holmes of Riverside occupied the
chair; @. D. Willard acted as secretary.
Several ladies of the annex who were
present asked to be heard ON the matter
Of privileges at the fair. They stated
that as the profits which they might
make in case the ice cream and other
privileges were granted to them would
be used for public work, they were OF
the opinion that they were entitled to
special consideration in the matter. The
committee expressed their agreement
with this idea, but said that they had
believed that they had divided the priv
ileges fairly between the two Organiza-
tions which had made application, and
as the application of the echrysanthemum
fair ladies had been of an earlier date
than the other they had given them the
the ladies' annex the lunch privilege.
However, as action had been taken the
committee stated that there was no con-
venient method of making change, and
it would therefore have to stand. The
ladies acceded to this view of the case
and took their departure.
The first regular business to come be-
fore the meeting was the election of
permanent chairman. E. w. Holmes,
of Riverside was elected to serve in this
capacity Eff G. Klokke, of Los Angeles,
was elected permanent treasurer.
The greater part of the morning ses-
sion was taken up with a discussion on
the question of ewhat proportion of the
expenses of individual localities should
be borne by the general organization.
1t was finally decided that the freight
charges on exhibits should be paid for
all localities which made use of railways,
and that all exhibits brought into the
city by the railway should be carried to
the exhibition building, or wherever the
fair might be held, free of charge. 1t
was decided moreover to supply all the
plain lumber desired by the various ex-
hibitors for the display of their fruit,
and all bunting and cambric which
would be need d for the decoration of
the exhibit structure.
This places the general association of
this year in much more liberal atti-
tude, as regards individual exhibitors,
than it occupied one year ago, and it is
believed that this liberality will be ap-
preciated by the exhibitors, and will
bring out much larger and finer set of
exhibits than were offered last year.
In the afternoon session work was be-
gun on the selection of judges, but as
some of the localities had not tsentin the
desired list from which to select, the
work was finally laid over until the next
meeting of the committee.
The regulations governing the entry
of exhibits and the action OF judges were
then treated to lengthy discussion. A
new regulation was added to those in
force last year, to the effect that any
competitor who addresses Judge while
in the discharge of his duty may be de-
barred from competition.
With regard to the method to be pur-
sued by the judges, the rules to govern
their action were left to the same COM
mittee which was appointed at the last
regular meeting to decide the matter OF
the est ablishment of standard for the
judging of Southern California citrus
fruits. This committee consists of Mr..
Cutter OF Riverside, J. r. Dobbins of
San Gabriel and w. E. Collins of On
tario.
The general manager reported that
after some correspondence with manu-
facturers and others in Chicago and
New York he had ascertained that there
would not now be time to order cheese
cloth especially dyed in the desired
shades OF green to match the color OF
the orange leaves. 1t was therefore de-
cided to make use of evergreens, and to
supply green by means OF palms, ivy
and cedar foliage.
