The Horticultural Pavilion has

now reached gratifying state of
forwardness. Its dimensions are
on a grand scale, lacking only
three PAGES of the length of the
Cathedral from the entrance to the
chancel and being very nearly as
wide. The ground floor alone will
afford ample space for an exhibi-
ton of mammoth proportions. The
gallery is massive structure, rum
ming around the entire building,
and supported on the inside by
heavy pillars of wood. We are in
formed by architects that 1t is
thoroughly secure. We are glad to
note that the acoustic properties of
the Pavilion are of exceptional
thoroughness. This will enhance
the fine vocal and instrumental
music which will diversity the ex-
ercises of the Fair. The people of
Los Angeles rightfully take a pride
In this creation of their own pub

Sunday next would be good day
for an inspection of the editice, in
force, by our people. To these
strangers who would like to take a
comprehensive look over the Los
Angeles valley we would say that
they cannot get better coigne of
vantage than that presented from
the second story of the Pavilion.
The view from that point is simply
superb.
The premium buggy is at last here
and will be exhibited in the window
Of the Dollar Store this morning.
The style is quite different from
wha. we described at first as the
buggy in prospect, but it is none
the less elegant and expensive.
The running gear and bed are fin
ished in dark colors, ornamentally
lined and fitted with silver-plated
ornaments. The upholstering is in
brown figured satin. The handle
is reversible, aud the seat slides

Go not to the ant but to the spi-
der, thou sluggard, and learn what
genuine industry is. Every night,
in defiance of municipal ordinance,
the spider weaveth his web from
the garden fence to the pep
per tree adjoining, and the passing
pedestrian, with unfeeling haste,
and callous to the patient labor of
the fy-cather, brusheth it away.
But the question with US is, how
doth the spider throw his web
across the sidewalk? Let some
learned entomologist answer. But

er day. The owner of an uptown
corral proposed to sell him a horse
and the animal was hitched up for
the purpose of being tried in Fred's
milk wagon. Everything went
pleasantly until East Los Angeles
was reached. Here the horse con-
cluded that he ought to show the

letter written to the Department,

have written your letter on another
piece of paper"
