The ball has been 80 iammed that it was
difficult for me 10 determine whether lwas

dated into one; and hapes.ly, at times, en-
tangled in a whirlpool OF crinoline. aud ir.

thus in the bewilderod dreams Of fancy seem

] will not attempt to particulhrize or COM
ment upon the articles in the various depart
ments for it would require more space than
would occupy the columns Of the National
for the next three months. bu. altogether
will prove an honor to the State, aud to Sac.
ramento. and reflects much credit to the
board OF managers.
The vegetable department is well filed
and deserves much praise. bu, have seen
nothing in that line calculated 20 strike with
wonder or especial admiration any one who
is familiar with the agricultural districts in
the West and South OF the Atlantic States:
hut most articles Of fruit on exhibition are
far superior in appearance though not 10 tla-
vor TO anything that have seen elsewhere
The only articles have seen on exhibition
from Nevada County are some fine specimens
of peaches from the orchard uf O. r. E,lward-
Of Grass Valley. They were the first placed
on exhibition. and Of course "lrst best. " but
others have come 10 since that are - far So
perior that 'herc is scarcely any corrari,on.
They were however, quite crcdilable TO the
exhibition.
The bloodcd stock. both cattle and horses

produce; though some Of lhe stock on exhi-
billion seemed to be entirely without any
merit whatever, aud presented 50 in-igniti-
cant an appearance in comparison With 9th
ers that their exhibitors seemed really asham
cd Of them.
There will be tremendous effort made by
the people Of the northern counties. to pre-
vent the State Fair from being permanently
located here but don't think there will be
any opposition South Of Marysville. and
think. therefore, the chances are that it will
be retained here.
The pavilion will be closed to morrow at
o'clock. and all the articles removed to
make room for grand ball which is to come
or Tomorrow night. and is expected to be
the most brilliant affair that ever came OF
in the State.
have not space here 20 refer to the ma.
chinery department but notice some i'm
provemenis in quartz machinery and river
sluioes which are deserving Of particular at
teution, and will cndeavor TO speak Of them
more in detail on some future occasion.
