WITH SECRETARY I FLETCHER IN FOREGROUND. £ . -+ | | The excursion of business men of | California and their families to the | St. Louis Exposition that was arranged | for by the ‘California State Board of Charles | Trade stirted yesterday under the | | most favorable circumstances. The ‘lrnln consisted of a composite car, a | diner, four sleepers and an observa- tion car. The best rolling stock in the control of the Southern Pacific was put on for the occasion. On the composite car was a banner | that told that this was the California | State Board of Trade special train. | The letters on this banner were so | large and plain that no one could mis- | take either where the special party | came from or regarding the organiza- (tion that had made the excursion pos- | sible. Every one was prompt and the ex- cursion train went out of the Oakland mole on schedule time, connecting with the 11 a. m. boat from this city. Secretary Fletcher of the California State Board of Trade went over earlier and took charge of the train and pro- vided for the comfort of those that were to travel under the management of the board. A fine party gathered very soon, one of the finest that ever went out of the State. Prominent railroad men col- lected at the mole and complimented the State Board of Trade for its en- terprise. Business men were in the party from all parts of California. The Los Angeles delegation arrived in time | to take the train at Oakland. Repre- | sentatives of various commercial or- | ganizations were included in the array of guests. Others were to join the party at Sacramento and Colfax. The route of travel to St. Louis is by the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Burlington lines. Few stops were | arranged for—at Oakland, Sacramento | and Colfax only in this State, at Reno in Nevada and at only large cities farther on. Starling at 11 o'clock from this city yesterday morning the excursionists were booked to reach St. Louis at 7 a. m. next Monday. Secre tary Fletcher, In béhalf of the guests of the California 'State. Board of Trade, telegraphed yesterday just be- fore the train started notifying the California commissioners to St. Louis, Messrs. Filcher and Wiggins, that the party was about to move and inviting them to arrange fo# the reception to the visiting California busines men on (thefr arrival at the California State building at the exposition grounds in | St. Louis. | No complete list of the party of ex- cursionists was ready when the train rolled out of the Oakland mole. It was impossible to prepare one in the rush. There were ninety-five persons on the ' special train as passengers besides Sec- retary Fletcher. Several business men that were unable to start yesterday put their wives on the special train, appreciating the advantages the Cali- 1 Before the staft Manager S. F.
