new RULES FOR STATE FAIR.
A SEASON TICKET PLAN IS
ADOPTED.
Important Work Done by the
the State Fair Clubs
Committees.

There were two sessions of the Exc
cutive Committee of the State Agri-
cultural Society yesterday. In the
morning routine matters were discussed
and the session was executive. In the
afternoon the committee was met by
various members of the Citizens State
Fair Club, who urged the necessity of
cooperation between all forces to make
the fair success.
The chief spokesmen were Frank L.
Gray, of the Publicity Committee, and
H. L. Seymour, of the Local Exhibits
Committee. Mr.. Gray outlined plans
for entertaining the public, and Mr.
Seymour made an argument for sea-
son tickets. AS will appear in detail
herein, the request for season tickets,
with notifications limiting their use
to the pavilion, was adopted.
1t was shown by the Citizens Com
mittees that there is more interest in
the fair this year than there has been
for some seasons past. According to
an elaborate report made by the Com
mittee on Exhibits, through Chairman
Gray, there is much earneStness and IL
thorough spirit of cooperation among
citizens, merchants and business men.
I'VE have arranged to cooperate with
you fully said Mr.. Gray, land we feel
assured of success. We have made
preparations for a Chinese entertain-
ment, for Japanese athletics, and for
special days for the Turn Verein, the
Sacramento Athletic Club, for a day
in the Orient, cake walk, a ladies'
day, in, which social clubs will take
part, for a children's day, and for a
baby show. We also hope to have
a grangers' day, and if possible a we'd
ding day. A prize of useful articles
might be given to any couple that
would be married there some night.
This would draw big crowd.
I'VE also hope to have cooperative
exhibits by grocers and others, work
ing models, and animated shows. We
want many stages all over the pavilion,
so one part of it will not get all the
crowd. Our plan contemplates having
many interesting things, and they will
be scattered.
I'VE have bought hundreds of large
cards and thousands of small ones to
advertise the fair, and we believe the
financial part will be all right, too Peo-
pie will put up money!
H. L. Seymour of the Local Exhibits
Committee, made an elaborate plea
for season tickets. He believed the re-
ceipts of the fair had diminished since
the season tickets were done away
with. If there could be a reversion
to the old plan, he believed sales would
be large, and that the increased attend
ance would add to the value of eX-
hibitors' space as we'll as to- the sue
cess of the fair.
The Executive Committee of the
State Agricultural Society heartily
thanked the citizens for their attend
ance, then went into executive session
to consider the questions presented. 1t
was decided to give Secretary Shields
and the local members of the Fair AS
sociation full authority to cooperate
with citizens regarding exhibits, enter
tainments and like matters.
1t was also decided to issue season
tickets for the pavilion. They will be
sold for SO and will admit man and
his wife, to all entertainments, carrying
the privilege for the ticket holders chill
dren under 10 years of age.
