Secretary of State Curry has decided
to change his quarters in the Capito
building from the second to the first
floor. He will occupy the room in the
south corridor formerly occupied by the
Department of Highways, and that ad-
joining. occupied by Secretary Lelone
of the State Board of Horticulture-the
same rooms that were formerly oc-
cupied by the Secretary of State.
Messrs Curry and Lelong have made
a number of swaps, which will save

Curry took Mr.. Lelong's offer to ex-
change his window awnings for the

wherein are deposited papers of State
is in one of the rooms Secretary Curry
will occupy, and this is one reason why
the exchange was made.
Secretary Lelong is we'll satisfied with
the exchange of offices. Laborers are

STATE FAIR MATTERS.
Ladies' Day Will Be Made One Of
the Chief Features.

1t is the intention of the various sub
committees of the State Fair Club to
do all in their power to make ladies'
day a great success. To that end sew
eral conferences have been held with
leading spirits in the various social
and literary clubs of the city, and the
ladies have expressed themselves as
willing to do all in their power to make
the day a success.
There will be a conference of repre-
sentative women and State Fair COM
mitteemen either tonight or to-mor-
row night, at which some details will
be discussed and plan of work agreed
on.
The suggestion is made by member
of the John Breuner Company-and it
seems to be a very good one-that all
home owners in the city who have
rooms to spare invite some friend or
friends from another place to spend
a few days with them during the
progress of the fair. If one friend can
not come, another could be invited, and
the invitations should be pressing and
hearty. AS this years fair will be an
unusually attractive one it seems that
such a plan would surely bring many
strangers within our gates.

THE WHEELMEN.
Matters Considered by the Capital
City Club Last Evening.

The Capital City Wheelmen last ev-
ening held large and earnest meet
ing. The club went over it's expense
account and calculated its economies
for the coming winter. 1t was resolved
to retain the special dollar rate for
membership open until September 1st,
owing to some misunderstanding as to
it's closing August 1st as originally Or
dered. After September 1st the old
rate will be restored
Captain Clay presented the hand
some pins for the riders in the late
relay race with Stockton. The pin is
a little beauty. and a souvenir the rid
ers will be pleased to treasure. The
club appointed a committee to consult
with the directorate of the State Ag-
ricultural Society concerning the care
of wheels during the State Fair.
It received a cordial letter of thanks
and good will from the Olympic Club
Wheelmen Of San Francisco acknowl-
edging favors shown the latter club
by the C. c. W. The relations be-
tween the two clubs is strongly fra
ternal.
Action was taken concerning the
placing of new piano in the club
