HOW TO REACH THE CAMP GROUND.
By C. H. Jones
THERE are quite a number of depots in Oakland, and various ways of reaching the camp ground. We will not attempt to name them all, but, in order to save confusion, will name the most direct. We would recommend those coming via San Jose and intermediate points to take the narrow-gauge railroad. Check baggage to, and get off at, Thirteenth and Franklin Streets. The electric cars on Thirteenth Street take passengers direct to the camp ground. Those coming from Monterey and intermediate points over the broad-gauge railroad will check baggage to, and get off at, Broadway Station. Then go one block to the north and take the electric cars at the corner of Second Street and Broadway, direct to the grounds. Those coming via Benicia, Vallejo, and Port Costa should check baggage to, and get off at, Sixteenth Street Station. Then take the electric cars of the Oakland Consolidated Company (yellow cars), running on Sixteenth Street, transferring at Sixteenth and Grove Streets direct to the camp ground. Those coming from San Francisco via the narrow-gauge railroad should get off at Thirteenth and Franklin Streets, then take the electric cars at that point direct to the grounds. Those coming from San Francisco via the broad-gauge railroad should take the Oakland local train and get off at Broadway Station, then go one block to the east, taking the electric cars at the corner of Seventh and Franklin Streets; or get off at the West Oakland Station and take the Eighth Street electric cars. Arrangements have been made with the Whitney Standard and Oakland Transfer Company to take trunks and packages from San Francisco to the camp ground in Oakland at twenty-five cents each, and from depots in Oakland to the grounds for fifteen 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 ferry landing), or delivered to the baggage master on the camp ground. Pay no money to the Transfer Company, as arrangements have been made to collect when the baggage is delivered. Those who have baggage checked to any of the depots in Oakland should give the checks to only the authorized agents of the Whitney Standard and Oakland Transfer Company. If none of their agents are at the depot on the arrival of your train, then hold your checks and give them to the baggage master on the camp ground. By carefully following the above directions much trouble and inconvenience will be avoided.
