REDUCTION OF FARE TO THE CAMP-MEETING AT OAKLAND.
By Charles H. Jones
ANY person coming to the State Camp-Meeting at Oakland, Cal., over any of the lines of the Southern Pacific Company, 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 endorsed by the secretary of the Conference at the camp-ground, they will entitle the holder to a return ticket at one-third the regular rate, at any time up to and including October 9. These certificates can now be obtained, free of charge, by addressing Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. We would suggest that where several persons are coming from the same place, it be arranged to have all the certificates needed sent to one person, and then passed around to those who are coming. Be sure to order enough for all. Special arrangements have been made with the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad this year by which those coming to the camp-meeting can purchase round-trip tickets to San Francisco at the following rates:—
Cloverdale to San Francisco and return, $3.00
Healdsburg " " " " 2.25
Santa Rosa " " " " 1.50
Petaluma " " " " 1.00 Call for camp-meeting tickets, which will be on sale at all of the above named stations from September 14 to October 8. These tickets must be countersigned by the secretary of the Conference on the camp-ground, and will entitle the holder to return at any time up to and including October 14, 1889. Each person will be allowed to take 150 pounds of baggage free. Arrangements have been made with the Whitney, Standard and Oakland Transfer Co., to take trunks and packages from San Francisco to the camp-ground in Oakland for twenty-five cents each. Checks should be left with the above-named company at their office, No. 3 Commercial Street, San Francisco (just across the street from the ferry landing), or delivered to the baggagemaster on the camp-ground. Pay no money to the transfer company, as arrangements have been made to collect when the baggage is delivered. Those coming via San Jose and intermediate points on the broad-guage R. R. should check baggage to, and get off at, Market Street Station, Oakland. Those coming by the narrow-gauge R. R. should check baggage to, and get off at, Fourteenth and Webster Streets. 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. The San Pablo Avenue cable cars starting at Broadway and Seventh Street also run direct to the camp-ground. The camp will be located between Market Street and San Pablo Avenue, near Twenty-fifth Street, the same grounds that have been occupied for the last two years. C. H. JONES.
