1respect TO the President, the Pavilion would
zoe closed at oace for the night. He said that
zbstween then and this evening, the Board
Awonld confer with the citizens as TO what
4course it was proper to pursue. The fair
59would undoubtedly go on, and he expected
3she melancholy pleasure of meeting them all
szshere this evening, when the annual address
z swonId be delivered. The band then played
~ Home Sweet Home, as the people sorrow
FULLY left the hall.
3 The music at the Pavilion last evening by
: saWetterman's Eighth United States Infantry
9 Band was excellent, and was received by ali
. With favorable comments. Mr.. Wetterman
4 was formerly resident of Sacramento, and
Hrenews acquaintance with old friends for the
3 first time in many years.
8 NOTABLE EVENTS.
81 The largest costliest, most elaborate and
& attractive exhibit in the Pavilion is that Of
4 Huntington, Hopkins & Co., the well-known
Ehardware firm of this city. This house ranks
S,econd to none On the Pacific coast, and
q While it was not necessary for it to make
Asuch display in order TO advertise its wares
q md spread its fame. yet the proprietors have
e ,hown most commendable public spirit in
"a lutting up this fine exhibit rot Only to show
i 20 the people Of the State at large that Sacra-
#mento could furnish them with all things
3 lecessary in the hardware line, but to prove
81 shat her citizens have that enterprise and
q public spirit which makes this city the best
@8place in the State for the holding of the
9annual exhibitions of the State Agricultural
3 aSocieiy The display of such an amount and
sAyaiisty of goodsa as the one in question costs a
barge sum of money, and when it is done by
a, firm 80 well known and so little in need OF
& advertising, the largest credit is due. The
$!name of Huntington, Hopkins & Co. has
8become household word all over the State,
land there are few business men anywhere on
this side of the mountains who have not, at
Z one time or another, had business dealings
with the firm. The variety of stock in the
establishment brings them in contact with all
e3classes, and their trade extends in every di-
Erection. It is safe TO say that no firm on the
:Scoast is better or more favorably known
5fthan this one. A description of the
e Ssdisplay made at the Pavilion by this
SGrm is 10 easy task. It's design and
arrangement was the work Of Z. Peter.

4These gentlemen were engaged for ten days
lin putting up the exhibit, and their labors
z<have resulted in masterpiece of skill, which
s2for originally Of conception and beauty OF de-
:sSasign and workmanship, has never even been
zapproached in any display ever before put up
lin the Pavilion, and we doubt if it has ever
szbeen squaled on this coast. 1t is work that
his not taken in at glance. The visitor may
stand before it for half an hour and each min
Cute will discover something unique that has
mot before attracted bis attention. Lastnight
xit was continually surrounded by crowd of
xpeople, and the expressions of praise and COM
eAmendation were continuous and emphatic.
;SThe artists may well feel proud of the ap-
Ypreciation of their work, which was displayed
saDy the public last night, for certainly no
ssother exhibit at the Park or Pavilion has re-.
,sceived such a complete recognition. The dis
'aplay is located on the east side of the west
sShatl. and at once attracts the attention Of
&shose who enter. Its representation OF the
