NORTHERN DISTRICT FAIR.
The Exhibition at the Pavilion.

| 6ne exhibition But the state of the country
and the excitement attendant thereon, as
well as the intense excitement in regard to
our own State campaign. had the effect ia
detract from the usual interest in the Annual
Fair The entries of articles for exhibition
at the Pavilion have not been numerous. A
complete list would not possess interest pro-
portionate to the space it would occupy. We
will mention such as seem to us the most IN
teresiing. We could find but few exhibitors
at the Pavilion yesterday. and were COM
PEELED to rely almost entirely upon personal
inspection of the articles, when we should
have been very glad TO have obtained some
more detailed descriptions Of them.
The diplay of fruit is really fine.
Charles Covillaud exhibits twenty varieties
of grapes, nine varieties of seeding peaches,
thirteen varieties Of pears, and ten varieties
of apples Mr. Covilaud has under cultiva-
tion, at his extensive farm near town, one
hundred and six varieties Of grapes, a greater
variety, We believe, than is cultivated by
any other vine-grower in the Northern Dis
trict
Dr. E Teegarden has an entire table upon
which is displayed a choice variety of peach
es, apples, pears. plums. and indeed Of all the
fruits which thrive in this region. 1t is
worthy of the Doctors fine reputation as a
fruit grower,
Lester Burnett. of Long Bar, exhibits
some exceedingly fine spccimene Of the Cali
fornia nativ grape, from two years old vines
Also seeding peaches, and some lusciou;
clusters of plums from three years old trans
planted tree. which this year bears two hun
dred pounds of fruit.
Hutchinson, OF the New England orchard
on the Sacramento road, five miles from this
city. has table upon which are shown some
of the choicest varieties of grapes. The size
of the grapes and Of the clusters exceed any
thing we ever cav before. They excite much
admiration.
J. NJ Ramirez exhibits from his~garden
three varieties of Chile grapes. The Chile
Rose is of light reddish purple, and if it
pleases the taste as it does the sight, must be
rare luxury.
G zen. John A. Sutter furnishes some speci.
mems of the native California grape of deli
cious sweetness also pomegranates of fine
size
G. c. Briggs has an extensive display Of
| fruit from his immense orchard. His pears,
ounces and apples are not exceled by any
in the Fair. A sight at them is sufficient to
convince one that nowhere on earth can com
mon fruit be brought to higher degree OF
perfection than here.
The most extensive exhibition of fruit il
by j. B. Nickerson, of Placer county. He has
some splendid specimens. He occupies the
two tables standing parallel with each Other
at the right as one enters the Pavilion. III
addition to his contributions Of fruit, he has
stock entered at the cattle grounds. Had ,
dozen others taken the interest he has in tn
Fair, " could have Loastcd fuer exhibition
than any preceding one.
