ter says:
IL will he at the wharf with platoon of
police to meet the children. Every pre-
caution " III De taken 10 prevent accidents
of any kind An extra force OF policemen
will be detailed for this purpose. and ex-
traordinary efforts viii be made to care
for the children while marching 10 the
fair building and while they are on the
grounds, and again when they return TO
The wharf. l wish II understood that any

but there 10 feeling among most Ia
eomsns that IL would seem a little like
getting ct the back deer for the Seattle
visitors TO 20 TO the fair via Old Tacoma.
There 10 desire up town to see the v.si-
tors on the street. and have such as do not
take the cars march up 10 Ninth street
and then up the easy grade 10 the fair.
The hill leading from the Old Tacoma
wharf to the fair building is somewhat
steep. and il Is thought best here TO have
the visitors come into town via the main
wharf, and. when returning. go down the
bin TO the Old Tacoma wharf Ind take tae
steamers there. Besides. the warship
Monterey remained here for PosT-lSTxt-
MGxscFa day and 1t has been planned as
one Of the sights 10 have the steamers
CONS in around the warship. This and
other features of the Posr-ISrELLisKNcKR
day programme will be arranged tomor-
row.
More interest is being manifested In the
