GENERAL MIDwINTER FAIR COMMITTEE,
JULIUS koEBIG, President.
An arrangement has been suggested TO
the executive committee by which Straw
berry ill and the amphitheatrical pano-
rama given by Thomas n. Sweeney 10 the
people of San Francisco may be included
in the exposition grounds. The plan in
cludeS an entrance, from point near the
electric tower, 10 the spiral roadway. near
which at least one of the concessions now
under consideration by the executive CON-
mittee will be located.
Another on the list of benefits for the
Midwinter Fair fund is the baseball game,
arranged to take place at the Haight-stree:
grounds on the 18th inst. The competing
mines will be the Maroons of the Olympic
Club and team from the Second Regi-
lnent. Both teams are training. and good
match is anticipated.
A proposition was considered by the ex-
ecutive committee last evening for the
erection of structure to be known as the
Southern California building. Within its
walls the exhibits Of the six southern
counties will be shown. 1t will be sur
rounded by a model orchard. in which will
be growing specimens of orange, lemon and
olive trees. deciduous trees, tropical plants
and flowers.
The Oregon building is now as assured
fact. This State is one Of the few in which
the appropriation voted for the exhibit at
the Columbian Exposition was not ex-
hausted. OF the sum set aside for that
purpose $4,000 still remains in the hands
of the Stale Treasurer. This amount will
form thu nucleus for the erection of a
building in Golden Gate Park. The exec.
utive committee is now considering the
question of location, and it is possible tina t
the Oregon exhibit will be displayed in a
building adjoining the Arizona village.
A number of fraternal organizations have
united in request to set aside day dur
ing the progress of the fair as Brother
hood Day." In this connection it may be
mentioned that the Supreme Lodge of the
A. 0. y. W., national organization, will
meet in this city in February. and that the
sessions will pI Iobably be held in the Euro
pean building.
