“INDIANA DAY."

: A Proclamation Dy the Governor. To the People of Indiana: Whereas, The World’s Fair managers of Indiana adopted a resolution requesting the Governor to select and publicly announce a day to be known as “Indiana Day” at the World’s Columbian Exposition. Therefore, I, Claude Mathews, Governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby designate Tuesday,* August 22, to be known as “Indiana Day,” and do recommend that as many of the citizens of this State as can should attend the Fair at Chicago on that day. The citizens of Indiana, proud of past achievements and the marvelous future that unfolds before them, can and will find in thiS great school much that will benefit them and make them more satisfied than ever that their lot has been cast in so goodly a land. The great railways traversing the State will, in all probability, afford increased facilities to all desiring to attend. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused [seal] to be affixed the great seal of the State this 7th day of Aug. 1893. Claude Matthews, By the Governor: W. R. Myebs, Secretary of State.
