AT THE PAVILION.
The attendance at the Pavilion last night
was large, all the halls being well.flled with
crowd of well pleased visitors. The exhib-
its are now pretty much all in place, and the
display is very creditable one. The fruit
and vegetable show is now all in place, and
it is very fine one, especially that of grapes,
apples, pears and peaches. There is also a
good display of bread, cake, etc. There were
number of entries for the Shafter prize for
the best loaf of bread made by girl under
Is years of age. After careful examination
the prize was awarded to Miss Clara A. MUIR
ply, of Brighton, Sacramento county, girl
IL years of age. President Shafter presented
her very handsome silver butter dish and
knife, in a neat and pleasing address to young
ladies, just before he delivered his annual
address. Both addresses were listened to with
| attention. They will appear in these columns
hereafter. The programme of music rem
dered last evening by Wettermans Eighth
United States Infantry band was very fine,
and elected many complimenty remarks from
the visitors and frequent applause. We have
| never had better music at any of the exhibit
tions of the Society.
The cash receipts at the Pavilion yesterday
were 1857 80.
