An EarIierNOnvention.

In September of 1888 the local asso-

for the first state convention, which
was held in the Central Presbyterian
church and attended by 800 delegates
Since that date the state convention
has not visited the city and the coming
event will be the first in 10 years. The
direct result of the convention was the
movement for the building of regular
association headquarters and the pres
ent structure was finished in a few
years.
Following Secretary George Warner
the following men had charge of the
local association: F. w. Lang. G.. G..
Blakslee J. p. Bailey, John S. Free
man, J. H. Keyser, l.. l.. Mcdonald
and A. l.. Burnett, the present secra-

eagerly seeking information from those
who have seen the California horses
in races and in work. The Ascot park

tries. A great crowd filled the big hall
at the start, but there were so many
