of bouquets is the finest there ever was on
exhibition here. Among the many pieces
there is marriage bell suspended in the
center over the table, under which is bridal
couple ready to be married, etc. Every lover
and judge of plants and flowers will say that
this exhibit has never been excelled.

jams and pickles.
The University of California shows 13O
samples of wheat and other grain.

Mrs. NJ. E. Spiers, of Wheatland. CAL,
has on exhibition and in operation at the Pavil
ion the Cook-stove Heat Fender, an inven-
ton Of unusual merit. The fender prevents
the cook room from being over-heated by the
cook-stove, rendering it as cool as parlor,
and carries off all odor arising from cooking
victuals. Being provided with hooks, it af-
fords convenient deposit for cooking vessels,
and has also shelves for setting articles on to
be kept warm, and fruit shelves or trays for
drying fruit and vegetables, also bars for dry
ing clothes. The fender is ornamental as
well as useful, and is portable, with corner
post hinges, so as to admit of its being taken
down and folded up like book. 1t is fasten-
ed to the walls with hooks provided for that
purpose. 1t has an extention board on top
to slide up or down, so as to suit the different
nights of ceiling. Every visitor to the fair
should examine this useful invention.
George w. Chesley's rock and rye, maple
rum and peach and honey, are daily sampled
by hundreds OF people, and they are loud in
praise of it. His blackberry brandy is also
great favorite with the people.

night. We have spoken of this display
before, and too much cannot be said in favor
of these instruments. Persons attending the
fair should visit Mr.. Hammers store, on J
street, between Eighth and Ninth, before
going home. and examine net only his pianos,
but the other musical instruments, sheet
music, etc.
The exhibit of Huntington, Hopkins & Co.
seems to lose none of its interest for the
public The praise bestowed upon it is un-
bounded. Those who have not been able to
attend the fair should read the description
of this display published in this paper on
Tuesday last.
We have already made mention of the fine
display made by Weinstock & Lubin, of the
Mechanics Store. The exhibit shows the
progress of the firm. 1t is constantly ele-
waiting the standard of its goods, and now
carries the most extensive class. The ex-
hibit is certainly one of the most elaborate
of the kind ever seen in the Pavilion, and its
beauty attracts the attention of the sterner
sex as well as those for whose special edifca-
ton and delight it is made. These samples
are sufficient to enable anyone to form some
thing of an idea Of the elegant character of
goods carried by this firm, which has already
taken rank as one of the leading importers in
the State of rich and elegant goods. Messrs.
Weinstock & Lubin have exhibited rare
judgment in the management of their great
business as shown by the complete system
which pervades all branches of their trade.
Visitors at the fair should call at their store,
corner of Fourth and K streets.
E. J. Baldwin's fine exhibit of wine and
brandy, from his Santa Anita ranch, was
mentioned at length in this paper yesterday.
Mrs. Fl. A. Weaver exhibits some of the
finest specimens of embroidery in the Pa
vilion, including silk monograms on kid
gloves and handkerchiefs; also some fine
cambria work.
The butter cooler exhibited by B. n. Bug.
hey attracts as much attention as anything
at the Pavilion, and is as well worthy of the
praise it receives.
Among the many fine displays to be seen
in the Pavilion is the exhibition of the
Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Company.
In operation may be seen their famous new
No. 10 machine, for manufacturing purposes,
and yet, while a manufacturing machine, we
saw it in operation, running with ease and
rapidity on the finest of material, with 200
cotton, while one of the same make was work
ing successfully on the thickest material and
40 linen thread. The new No. is rightly con-
ceded to be ''the boss" Samples are shown
Of the finest material, executed on the ma
chine by Mrs. Emery, on satin, on the finest
Of gauze, bobinet, lace, aud elaborate tuck
ing with 300 and 400 cotton, which is
finer than can be used on any other sewing
machine. Envious people might think that
the samples were imported, from the variety
and beauty of their execution, but the banner
displayed explicitly states-and we are well
satisfied that the assertion is correct-that
the samples are all made on the No. s by and
through the Sacramento Office. The Sac
ramento agency is under the immediate SUI
pervision of Mr.. E. I'll. Emery, and is located
at 527 street, Their machines are having
an extensive sale. The Mechanics Store is
running at the present time about twenty of
these sewing machines by steam power, and,
as they say, at less expense for repairs than
any other sewing machine they have ever
tried. They have also one of the new No. 10
running by steam power, which gives the
most complete satisfaction. The bobbin of
the No. 10 machine will hold sixty-seven
yards of No. z cotton. The community at
large are cordially invited to call at the Office
any time and see these wonderful machines
in operation.
The Niagara lawn sprinkler and fountain,
exhibited by Thomas j. Lotus, attracts
great deal of attention. 1t is one of those
inventions that is appreciated in climate
like this.
The Misses Brothers make the most extern
sive display ever attempted at the State
Fair in the millinery line. This exhibit con-
sists of large side case and three up
the many elegant plushes, satiDs, ribbons,
etc., in all the new shades, is in itself
a picture which does not escape the recogni-
tion of those who have an eye for the beau
tiful. The same artistic taste prevails in all
the work of the Misses Brothers, and is seen
especially in the many beautiful bonnets and
hats in the case, all of which are of their
own make. Even the severest critic and
most earnest rival will admit that the dis
play is superior to any thing ever made at
the Pavilion in millinery. This exhibit is
the center of attraction for the ladies, and it
should be so. Millinery is an art which calls
for the exercise of fine taste, and it involves
a knowledge of the relation Of colors to each
other, and requires its worker to be
versed in the strength, finish, texture
quality and cost of fabrics, and in
its products the line of beauty, the
graceful, the tasteful, the pleasing and CON-
bination of colors are all manifest. These
appeal to womanly love for the beautiful.
It is not always that the cheapest article is
the most desirable. A cheap hat, himsy
millinery goods, half-made and slighted silks
and satins invite only to wastefulness Of
money. The Misses Brothers have this year
put on exhibition a great variety of elegant
and costly goods, and the praise bestowed
upon them has been as unbounded as it is
richly deserved. They are the leading
milliners and dealers in millinery
goods and supplies in Sacramento, and
the display they have made this
year is worthy of the house. This evening
the Misses Brothers give away three hats by
lots among ladies who have signed their
register of visitors at the Pavilion during the
week. These bonnets are on exhibition. and
they are marvels of taste and beauty. The
articles in this display are only samples of
the extensive stock they have constantly on
hand at their store on J street. All visitors
at the fair should call at their store and ex-
