THE FAIR. 
The management of the Horticultural 
Society are bending every energy to make 
the Centennial and Horticultural Exposi¬ 
tion to come off Sept. 5-10 the most sue- 
ceasful of all their previous efforts. As a 
source of general good of practical infor¬ 
mation, recreation and amusement it will be 
worth to Southern California a value thnt 
can ngt be reckoned in dollars and cents. 
Every nun acknowledge* il.e usefulness of 
ihis Society. Its Fairs and magHsino have 
done more than all other agencies to teach 
the proper things to plant and how to plant 
I cultivate. The peoplo have conm up 
r after year, and done a noble work and 
it remains with them to continue it. The 
Horticultural Fair belongs to thu people, is 
for the people, null with the people it 
rerun ins to lie made a success. Will you

Society depends on two things—the paying

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
The Hoard of Hi cotors of the Southern 
California Horticultural Society, at the 
meeting held last Saturduy found everything 
progressing in accelerated ratio and with 
clock-work precision. Several hours were 
spent in the dispatch or business, most of 
which related to the great Centennial Kx 
post low to be opened at the Pavilion on 
Monday, the 5th of September, 
It was found that Secretary Rico had so 
well executed the power* with which the 
Hoard had invested him that the superb 
hair programme in all ltd bewildering 
ramifioalioiiB will be thoroughly ready for 
tim curtain to ris- n t the appointed time. 
It was resolved by the Hoard to hold 
special meeting of the members of 
lh.1 Society during Fair week, in order to 
devise some way to n.i,e money with which 
to redeem the Pavilion and lot.' The meet- 
"•g will be held in tl.« Directors’room of 
1 **•'“». **„* ... M. „n Turwl.y 
nl f air week. I lie time for the rvdeinption 
of thu lot will soon expire. This is the 
last of the many faithful rflorin of the 
Duectors to save the Society’s property. 
Secretary Rice was instructed to notify 
each member of tho time, place ..ml object 
of the meeting.
