bu, there is no falling of in tie number of
attendants. Every morning and afternoon
the Pavilion is crowded. During the eve
nings the crowd is so dense that it is almost
impossible to navigate through the main
hail. The sight each evening is grand. The
thousands of gas jets illuminate the huge
building very brilliantly the numerous
fountains shoot high into the air and the fall
ing sprays resemble bright diamonds the
exquisite native and tropical flowers and
plants look beautiful in tie gas light and the
thousands of lovely woman in their elegant
evening costumes look like so many fairy
queens. What are you Tuolumne people
thinking about. that you do not come down
and witness this grand spectacle and see all
the novel inventions, on exhibition, of our
young and enterprising mechanics. 0ae of
Tuolumne county's mechanics is here, and
the ingenuity and simplicity Of his great la
Dor saving machine is attracting each eve
ming immense crowds, who gaze in wonder
at the wonderful movements of the little ma
chine and wonder still more that the ingenu-
ty of man has not long ago contr;ved a SINH
lar machine. | alude 10 Mr.. Per johnson >

Mr.. johnson is going to reap fortune from
the sale of his invention. Already PARTIES

send Gown few specimens of their luscious
fruit The Tuolumne fruit would be sure to
secure the premiums. The Bay View lIor
tieultural Gardens at the Fair look beautiful
during the evenings when lit no bv thou
sands of gas burners. Each florist of the city
aud neighborhood have filled the spaces allot-
ed to them with their choicest flowers and
rarest plants. r. B. Woodward, Esq. of
Woodward's Gardens, makes the grandest
display of rare and beautiful tropical plants.
He has been awarded the premium for the
best display of plants. The beds of roses.
geraniums and other flowers are. as the la
dies say, perfectly charming. The two toun-
tains throw up great streams of water which
has the effect of cooling the air as well as
adding to the beauty of the garden scene.
The serpentine walks have been neatly gray
eled the grass plots look greener and fresh
er each evening. The young forest of cedars
and pines, with large elk standing upon
the cutter edge, look refreshing to the denizens
of the city who "hanker after" the country.
The beautiful white marble statues. placed
in among the shrubbery, add much to the
grand appearance of this favorite resort of the
habitues of the Fair. The gardens are the
grand feature of the Exhibition. The grand
attractions at the Fair in the evenings are
the beautiful promenaders. Here you can
see the gay bellies of San Francisco in all
their glory the beautiful blondes and bru-
nettes from the "City of the Plains" the
rosy-choek lass from the cow counties, the
modest young ledy from San Jose, the love
lv "oueens" from Stockton, and marriage
bic young ladies from everywhere.
Capt. Turner, of Sonora, is in town endeav
ornc to sell one of the Table Mountain grav
81 claims. The owners want $50, 900. Trey
have made eight dollars per man a day,
wheeling the gravel out and washing it in
sluiees. The Captains idea is to get capt.
talists to take hold of it. cut bitches, put up
works and hydrarlic the entire nounta;n off.
A huge undertaking. but there is no doubt
hut what it will pay we'll for the investment.
