RAILROAD FARE TO THE OAKLAND CAMP-MEETING.
By C. H. Jones
The arrangements that have been made with the S. P. Co. and the S. F. & N. P. R. R. are the same as those of last year. People coming to the State camp-meeting at Oakland over any of the lines of the S. P. Co. will purchase a first-class ticket to Oakland, paying the regular fare, and at the same time presenting a certificate, which must be filled out and signed by the ticket agent. After these certificates have been indorsed by the secretary of the conference at the camp-ground, they will entitle the holders to return tickets at one-third the regular rate at any time up to October 5. These certificates can now be obtained free of charge by addressing Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. Where several persons are coming from the same locality, it would be well to request some one person to send for enough certificates for all. Those coming over the S. F. & N. P. R. R. will call for camp-meeting tickets, and will receive round-trip tickets to San Francisco at the following rates:—
Cloverdale to San Francisco and return - - $5 00
Healdsburg " " " " " - - 3 00
Santa Rosa " " " " " - - 2 75
Petaluma " " " " " - - 1 50 These tickets will be good from Monday, September 10, to Monday, October 8. Each person will be allowed to take 100 pounds of baggage free. Those coming via San Jose and intermediate points, should check baggage to, and get off at, the station at the foot of Market Street, Oakland. Those coming via Benicia should check baggage to, and get off at, Sixteenth Street Station. Teams will be in readiness to transfer baggage; and horse-cars for the transfer of passengers run direct from the depot to the grounds.
