sent dispatch to Assem- blyman Hart
North stating that two representatives
VIII go to Sacramento on Monday morn
ing TO push the matter, and if they report
1aVorably a delegation from this city
would follow.
1T Is of no use sending any one here
now, said Mr.. North to-day. "a whole
week has been wasted by the apparent in
decision OF Oakland, and now at the
eleventh hour they want to get in and
rush things. Let ME ex plain why this is
Impossible. Monday, the day set for the
arrival of the delegation, is The fifty
seventh OF the session. 1t would take the
visitors another day or two to report, and
by that time the statutory life OF the ses-
sion will have expired. Had they acted
promptly the day we notified them some-
thing might have been done, but now it is
a forlorn hope"
Assem- bIyman Frank Leavitt views the
matter in similar way, and does not see
any chance whatever for the Fair at this
Legislature.
