in it, the visitors being mostly from the
country, with now and then some traveller
who has heard in some way of its exls-
tence. 1t thus appears that the most
valuable feature of the board-its exhibit
is inadequately utilized, however much
good the board may be doing in the capa-
city of an information bureau for Eastern
inquirers. Besides having considerable
correspondence with such inquirers, it is
constantly sending out quantities of
printed matter
Attention is called to this institution in
the hope that the people of San Francisco
who are working to develop the State may
realize the importance OF it and the valu-
able uses to which it might be put. Taken
in connection with the splendid exhibit of
the Academy of Sciences, it completes a
perfect scheme of visual information con-
corning the products of the State. II an
increase of funds would enable the Board
of Trade to extend its usefulness by becom-
ing known as one of the most interesting
and certainly the most instructive show in
the City, and if the board desires to be-
come conspicuous, it would be the part OF
wisdom to supply it with money. In the
meantime there are probably not one in
twenty of the residents of the City who
has ever heard of the exhibit, and not one
in a hundred who has ever seen it. They
are assured that the exhibit is wonderful,
containing features that are handsome,
grotesque, curious, instructive, and all in
bewildering variety. The rooms are on
Market street, few doors below Second,
and no admission fee is charged.
