A Portland (Or.) merchant is authority
for the information that the people of
that city are already discussing the prop
osition of holding a great International
fair there should San Francisco for any
reason fail TO carry out the plans now
under consideration.
Judging from the matter in which
things are now moving the appropriation
from the State will be assured, as pre-
viously stated, by the end Of this week,
and the permanent organization of the
exposition projectors Will probably be
taken up during the early part OF
next week. The Importance of prompt
and energetic action Is appreciated and
all are anxious to get down to the work
of discussing and adopting plans for the
exhibition. A number of applications for
employment and suggestions for the ex
position have been received by various
mem bers of the committee, but these are
all simply placed on file to be considered
at the proper time. Among the plans sub
mitted is one drafted by prominent local
architect on suggestions and ideas ad-
vanced by Mr.. Patton, which is herewith
reproduced.

TO THE INTEREST OF EVERY
MUNICIPALITY TO COOPERATE

MONTEREY, Feb. 1S.-From present in
dications it would seem that the old
capital city is far the most enthusiastic
Of the middle California towns regarding
the proposed exposition in San Francisco
in 1901. Many prominent citizens have eX-
pressed themselves strongly in favor of
the exposition.
Mayor r. f. Johnson, in speaking Of the
plan to-day, said: II am most strongly in
favor Of such an exposition, whether
speaking officially or as a private citizen.
l think it will greatly benefit not only
San Francisco and the surrounding sec
ton. but the entire State. II all the towns
Of California cooperate with San Fran
cisco as they should, for their own inter-
est, and lend their best efforts toward
showing California to the world as she
really is, large proportion of people who
come to visit the exposition will remain
permanently. | think the agricultural
products and possibilities of the State
should be especially the point of such an
exposition as is proposed. The town of
Monterey not only heartily indorses the
project, but stands ready to do all in
her power toward bringing it to a sue
cesSful accomplishment"
H. A Greene, one of Monterey's most
progressive and public-spirited residents,
and who, as Director General of Calfor-
MAS Semi Centennial Jubilee, knows from
practical experience what exhibitions of
that character can do for a town, is very
outspoken in his enthusiasm for the ex-
position of 1901.

TENNIS MATCHES.
Girls High School Club Organized,
and Court VIII Be Laid in
the Near Future.


The tennis enthusiasts among the lady
players Of the Girls High School have
organized club, and in a few weeks the
necessary money was subscribed for the
building of court on the vacant space
back of the school. 1t is not yet deter
mined whether the court will be of clay
or bitumen. The advice of the expert,
Joseph Daily, was sought. and he sug-
gested the laying of clay court. It Is
very likely that bitumen will be selected.
as the expense of keeping a clay court
in order is continuous.
The ladies' doubles tournament which
was to have been played on the Califor-
MIA Club courts on Wednesday last was
postponed again, due to the inability of
many of the teams entered to be present.
The date now set is February q. The
list of teams published in last Saturday g
Call shows the extent of interest taken
in these tournaments by the young lady
players. The courts have been much used
by them during the week, and the tourna-
ment of the 21st should show some i'm
provement in feminine playing.
It is very likely that a round robin tour
nament will be played this afternoon.
Nothing definite has been arranged, but
it is tacitly understood among the players.
During the week number of hot
matches were played, the most noticeable
of which was that between George Whit
ney, the undefeated champion of this side
of the bay and Percy Murdoch, the Ala
medan. who has won manys crowns of
laurel on the other side. Whitney took
his measure without much ado. They
played five sets, all of which George
Whitney won in ridiculodsly easy fashion.
The scores read: 60 6-3, 60, 6-1, GO.
Murdock obtained a small need of re-
venge however, defeating Grant Smith,
60.
Other contests of interest were as fol-
lows: Smith beat Cornell, GA, Is, 81;
McGavin beat Harry Haight, 6-3, Cd,
4-6; Root beat Bliven in a several set
match.
