ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT CAMP-MEETING.

How are passengers and baggage transferred from the regular lines of road to the camp-ground? Chartered cars from Lemoore, Fresno, Woodland, St. Helena, and Chico, will transfer passengers and baggage to the local train at the end of the long wharf in Oakland, which will convey them to the camp-ground at Encinal station, Alameda, without extra cost. Persons from Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, and Petaluma, will pay full fare to San Francisco in coming to the ground, and have free return tickets furnished them. Their baggage will have to be transferred by teams at their own expense, which will be but a few cents each. Fare to the ground for adults, 15 cents from San Francisco.
How much baggage is each person allowed to carry? One hundred pounds, if addressed to separate individuals. But if each company sends baggage addressed to one person, a car of fifty passengers will be entitled to five thousand pounds.
Each company chartering a car can decide on the time when they will have it come and return. We would suggest that they have a day on the ground before the meeting commences to put up and arrange tents, etc., so as to be ready to attend the meetings.
