this year in their display to give only few
samples of their goods, and they invite all
who are attending the fair to visit their store,
on the corner of Fourth and K streets. and
examine their stock for themselves. They
are doing an immense manufacturing busi-
ness, and in the goods kept in stock they are
| constantly elevating the standard and keep
! ing better class OF goods. the elegant silk
| and velvet dress on exhibition is q sample of
their work, and if the comments made by the
| ladies upon it are any criterion to go by, their
| dress making establishment is success. The
same may be said of the elegant cloak by the
side of the dress. The bonnet exhibited is
o e just imported from Paris, and shows the
class of goods that is constantly being i'm
ported by the frn. Any one who will visit
the Mechanics Store will be amply repaid
| for the trouble.

| B. N. Bugbey, of this city, has on exhibi.
tion new patent that should be examined
| by every visitor at the fair. It is re-
| frigeratOr made of terra Gotta, which
| keeps butter cold and hard without ice.
| The refrigerator is SO constructed that water
| passes completely around the butter, and IS
! the mateisal of which it is manufactured is
| porous it absorbs the water, and the ventila-
| ton is such that a double-surfaca is exposed
to the atmosphere, thereby causing great
evaporation, which necessarily keeps the
| inner chamber, containing three two-pound
| rolls, very cold. As no taint can reach it
/ from any foreign substance, butter kept in
this cooler is preserved cold and sweet even
when the cooler is exposed to the sun or near
the heated stove while cooking in the hottest
summer weather. No ice is needed to
| keep butter cool and sweet where this
| invention is in use. MIR. Bugbey has
sold large number of these coolers in this
| city, and they have given the most complete
satisfaction. In fact he has not been able to
| have them manufactured sufficiently fast to
supply the demand. All who have used this
cooler pronounce it a most decided success,
and would not do without it. As cooling
process all comes from evaporation, it Is
curious fact that the hotter the room the
cooler the butter. The proper place, there
fore, to keep this refrigerator is the kitchen
| table. where 1T is most convenient to the
| housekeeper. 1t is an invention which sup
| plies want long felt by all housekeepers, as
in the ordinary refrigsrators and ice chests,
where different articles of food are kept in
the compartment, butter often becomes SO
tainted as to be unpalssable and unfit for ta-
BILE use. The cooler is to be seen in the lower
hall, at the south end. in connection with the
display of Hobby & Smith, dealers in terra
Gotta and stoneware.
Mrs. G. j. 0yler has entered cs fancy work
at the Pavilion, point lace handkerchief,
cuffs, tie ends and satchel with point lace
clocheted shawl, Tides and bed-spread and
pillow-shams in Holbein work, this latter
work being the only kind in the fair. Its
special point is in its having no wrong side.
Either side is the right side, and can be used
as such. This work was taken from the
paintings of the celebrated artist Holbein by
Madame Bach, of the Royal School of Arts |
and Designs at Vienna.

G. J. Shafer exhibits the Botrell patent re- |
clining rocker and foot-rest.
In the gallery is to be seen an exhibit that !
is prominent among the Pacific coast manu-
facturers, to wit The electric belt of w. j.
Horne. There have been q great number of |
voltaic, electric and magnetic belts, but
hitherto they have not given satisfaction. |
This gentleman has demonstrated thai he is
practical electrician, and he is now manu-
featuring and selling an electromagnetic belt,
which will not only shortly exclude all East
ern and foreign manufactures of the same
character, but will also supplsnt them in the
Eastern States and Europe. As compared
with Mr.. Hornes belt, the others appear at
an immense disadvantage. Some of them do
generate temporary ard spesmodic current
of electricity, but none of them rightly apply
it for healing purposes. Mr., Hornes belt
creates steady current which can be made
strong or gentle at the option of the wearer,
and it is so applied that the electric fluid is
properly diffused through the system to at
tain the objec. desired. The beneficial effects
Of magnetism have long been recognized by
the medical profession, bus it has been re-
served for the electricians of San Francisco to
invent a method by which it can be steadily
generated and applied. Mr.. Horne has re-
csived many letters and testimonials Of cures,
covering forty odd diseases, effected by his
belt, proving the wonderful power of cleo
tricity, and especially his electric belt. in
curing diseases when all other treatments
have failed. The Office and factory of w. J.
Horne are at 702 Market street, San Fran
cisco.
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC DISPLAY.
1t is an easy task for reporter to write
up subject that thrills him with new life,
more especially when hs has tested its merit
with his own practical experience. Atten-
tion has frequently been called to the wonder
ful display of our local photographer and
him the title of artist we know not where
the name would apply. The display is
simply gorgeous, unequaled by any previous
exhibition of the kind ever given at a Califor-
nis State Fair. The exquisite taste in the
arrangement of his whole collection forms
picture that is talked of and praised by all.
And as you examine more closely the wonder.

and delicate shadows which he preserves in
the action of the chemicals, this effect is
both heightened and softened by new pro-
cess which is the sole production and arises
from the artistic ability of ]. r. Hodson.
By this process the picture is not
alone strengthened and rendered more brill
iant, but it actually causes the portrait to
stand out in relief from the ground work. By
the use of this new process the most delicate
forms of lace and fine trimmings, which are
becoming more fashionable in ladies' and
children's apparel each year, can be
preserved entirely, or othsr forms
or an entire new pattern substituted. We
have seen specimens in this collection where
the trimmings on the dress have been entirely
changed, each style being independent Of the
other, causing the subject to appear to have
sat in two different dresses. To add to this
the expression of the most cultivated in art,
and the sentiments of the artists Themselves.
This ia the boldest and most striking ad.
vance in modern photography. He asks
your attention to the many samples in his
display, where the beauties of his new pio-
cess may be seen. Particular attention is
called to the large pictures on the easels-the
little daughters of d. M. Kenfeld and w.
F. McFadden. The large direct photographs
which Mr. Hodson is continually turning
out are not alone surprise to the people,
but they actually astonish those of his own
