keepers. Every visitor at the Pavilion
should examine>Shis exhibit, which is in the
lower hall. The price is put 10 per cent.
lower than the Eastern refrigerators that
have been shipped out here.
The display of the well-known carpet
house of Locke 4 Lavenson, of Sacramento,
was put in at the last moment and is of q
solid character. No attempt at arrangement
of goods is made, but there are samples Of
their stock which show its character and ex-
tent. There are Moquet, Wilton, velvet,
body Brussels and tapestry carpets, Smyrna,
Angora goat and sheep rugs. These are sim-
ply samples of the immense stock the firm
has ut their store. They always have on
hand a tull line of Swiss and Nottingham

ness in the city, this firm does en- extensive
trade which extends in every direction, and
even beyond the mountains. 1t has been
more extensive this year than ever before,
and is constantly on the increase. No carpet
house on the Pacific coast is better or more
favorahly known, and none more deserving
of success.
Geo. w. Chesley's exhibit of maple rum,
rock and rye, blackberry brandy and cherry
brandy continues to attract attention from
all visitors, and sampling is lively. The
blackberry brandy is the greatest favorite. 1t
is pure article and has never been excslled
by anything of its class that has been put
upon this market. The rock and rye
maintains itself as great favori.e with the
public. The sudden change of weather has
given many people severe colds, and they ap-
preciate sample of the rock and rye,
which is undoubtedly good IL eases Of colds
and pulmonary complaints.
The exhibitor of the Royal St. John saw
ing machine is Theo. w. Schwamb, not
Theo. I. Schwamb, as stated yesterday.
Geo. T. Bush's display Of gas fixtures,
lamps, clocks, ETC., is very attractive one,
and is very fayorably commented on By the
visitors. 1t is located in the main hall, and
is surrounded by crowd of people
deal of amusement, especially for tine young
people, who ''know How it is themselves. u
The display of plumbing goods en- the lower
floor, made by Mr.. Bush, is also very cred
table one and deserves the attention it is
constantly receiving. The work turned out
by this gentleman is not surpassed by any
upon this coast.
Ames, Earle & Co., whose exhibit is on the
lower floor, at the north end. are making a
speciality of the New Hub Range, which is
the perfection Of beauty and utility. 1t is .
superior range in construction, quality and
operation, and is made ia forty-eight distinct
styles and sizes. 1t is made with low
warming closet, reservoir for hot water, ele
waited shelf, cabinet vase aud waterfront.
The oven is the largest made, taking eight
full-sized pie-plates. This range justly merits
the popularity it has gained, as it has many
valuable improvements. Each rarge has
steel-fnished holdings, oven-sheif for Dastiug
meats, patent double. quick damper patent
reflex crate, hub toweidryer and large
broiling- door. By the use of the patent
reflex CRATE and double quick damper it is
claimed thst more than 25 per cent. can be
saved in the labor and expense of cooking.
Besides the New Hub various other ranges
and stoves ara exhibited.
Among the many exhibits of ladies' handi-
work none, perhaps, attracts more attention
than Mrs. A. Boards beautiful display of sea-
moss work. Here one may see every kind Of
sea-moss, so carefully dried and pressed that
every delicate fber may be distinctly seen
and handsomely arranged in some twenty or
thirty different designs. Some of these de.
signs are mounted on Is by 22-iDch cards.
One pretty feature in the lady's exhibit, and
which, perhaps, shows the most artistic skill,
is the rather novel manner il which she has
filed in water-color paintings with moss to
represent trees aud foliage, ard the moss-ar-
ranged with every possible regard to the rules
of perspectiye-sives o very pleasing effect
and makes handsome pictures. Lovers Of the
beautiful should see this display.
The Chickeripg pianos exhibited by L. X,
Hammer, of this city, are still the center of
attraction, especially in the evening, when
Professor Fleissner takes seat at the iustru.
ment. The grand piano in this exhibit is the
finest ever heard here, and richly merits
the warm commendation tha it constantly
receives. Mr.. Hammer is just now paying
especial attention to the new metallic action
upright pianos made by Chickering & Sons.
The worst enemy the manufacturer Of up-
right pianos has TO contend with is damp
hess. Numerous devices have been en-
ployed by various makers to overcome or
neutralize its baneful effects, but until lately
without success. Chiekering & Sons have at
last had the good fortune, after long expert
ment, to solve this enigma, by substituting
metal for wood IN all parts OF the action con.
taining centers. Il is the greatest improve
s,fent Of the age, as it makes the instrument
insensible to atmospheric changes.
Tine great display ct Huntingdon, Hopkins
e. Co. is as much an attraction as it was on
the first night of the fair. Crowds of people
ars constantly in front of il, studying cut the
detail of the designs and commenting favor
ably upon the enterprise that furnished such
q sight. Those who have seen it orce
come back again and look for rev nov
elites that they may have overlooked. It
is picture all the points CT which cam
not be taken In at q glance, and the
people did not seem to weary Of locking at it.
The shovel which cast the first earth in the
construction of the Central Pacific Railroad
is one of the attractions of the display, and
many an cid resident of California, as he
gszes upon it, commences TO spin a yarn about

vast change has come over this State since
1863, and with the development Of the State
has come the development and enlargement
OF the business of the firm of Huntington.
Hopkins Il Co. This firm has not only kept
pace with the improvements OF the State,
but has led them all in many respects. The
display is one that few houses would attempt,
and the firm of Huntington, Hopkins 4 Go.
deserve much credit for their enterprise.
