Chairman Barnes said that the great
majority of the people were as yet not
aware Of the benefit the Midwinter EXPO
sltlOn would be to San Francisco and the
State ard had no idea how the money con-
triputed was to be spent. He suggested
that great maSs-meetlng should be called,
which should be addressed by speakers
who would tell the people all about the
fair. The idea met with favor and a mo-
tion was made and carried that n mass
meeting be held in the Grand Opera-house
next Saturday night aud that in addition
to speeches musical programme be pre-
scented. Later it was ascertaI0ed that it
would be impossible to secure the Grand
Opera-house. and the mass-meeting was
therefore postponed until some time next
week, the time and place to be announced
later.

chairman of district 22 Enclosing his own
