A football team will doubtless soon be
organized, an out door handball court

pied the chair.
Prof. Foshay appeared before the board
and read several communications from
the memebrs of the executive committee
Of the National Educational association
in reference to the amount of hall space
If held in this city. They all expressed
the opinion that hall sufficiently large
to comfortably seat between 5000 and
5000 people will be sufficient, as they
claim that in building of larger seating
capacity 1t is impossible for all present
to hear. Two or three suggested that
the convention be divided into two or
three meetings, to be held at separate
halls or theaters. The letters further
stated that the executive committee
would meet some time in the middle of
the present month, and supposed that
that meeting would be held in Chicago.
A communication was read from H. M.
Stewart, secretary of the Glass Works
company at Alton, ILL.,, stating that Mr..
Francis, their representative who vis-
tied this city few weeks ago, had re-
turned and made a report favorable to
Los Angeles as a suitable location for
establishing glass factory. One of the
samples Of the glass sand had been tested
and found to be too expensive an ingre-
dent to use in making the quality of
glassware required in this section. The
letter stated they would, make tests of
the other samples in few days and re-
port. They asked for financial aid pro-
vided they concludes to establish fac
tory here. The communication was or
dered filed for the present.
The Omaha exposition matter was
taken up and thoroughly dis cussed. On
motion OF Director Slauson the secretary
was instructed to engage 1000 feet of
space for the Los Angeles county exhibit
on certain conditions. Every effort has
been made by the committee appointed
on this exposition to induce the other
counties of Southern California to take
| part, but up to date no such arrange
ments have been made. The board
thought it advisable that this county
should be represented and instructed the
secretary as above.
A committee of three, composed of Di-
rector Willard, President Forman and
the secretary, was appointed to arrange
for the publication of the Klondike
pamphlet. The board then, on motion,
