The herald., 1895-03-01

aside to spend q little while in mutual
comparisons OF results, and in presenting
the gorgeous object lesson, which, like
dream OF golden beauty, is spread before
us tonight.
In the preparation and arrangement of
this display the Los Angeles Chamber Of
Commerce has been most happy to assist
and cooperate. In behalf OF that body,
which is always ready to put its shoulder
to the wheel in advancing the interests
and in forwarding all proper efforts to en-
nance the beauty and wealth of Southern
California, / extend to one and ali a sin
cere and cordial greeting.
1t would be neither proper nor fitting
for me to occupy moro than momentary
part of this occasion. The beautiful ex-
hibits speak for themselves.
am disposed to take advantage OF this
opportunity, however, to congratulate the
fruit growers of Southern California upon
the success which has followed the adop-
ton of systematic methods in the DISPOSE
ton of their crops. 1t has seemed strange
to some people that I have commended
the exchange" system OF marketing the
fruit products of this section, inasmuch
as it IS possibly adverse to the interests
of my own specific business. To this
would simply reply that have never yet
attained that high degree of .selfishness
which would permit me to wish any bus
mess to be conducted upon ideas, other

results to its promoters.
| l bespeak for this Citrus fair the degree
| of success which the hard work bestowed
| upon it has merited, and hope that the
| fruitful results which follow will render
| the occasion memorable.
The patriotic and unselfish views OF the
| speaker won for him hearty round OF
| applause. Upon the subsistence OF this
evidently very hearty approval and appre,,
| citation Mr.. Freeman introduced Richard
| Grid, our member of the State Board OF
| Agriculture, who, in very few well chosen
words declared the Southern California
| Citrus Fair for 1895 opened.
Thus was the Citrus Fair opened. 1t
needs other thousands of visitors tomor
| row, and the next day and every day of
| it's ten days existence. Give it these and
| it will be the success it deserves to be-
and the indications are that it will not be
| neglected.
