THE STATE rA1a.
Special Features to be Seen at the State
Exposition this Week
A Leading Exhibit.

There is no pcrso1 who has ordinary taste, who,
on visiting the Pavilion, is not attracted by the
large confectionery display made by W. F. Peterson
of Sacramento. His exhibit occupies a space by
Is feet in the small upper hall, and very sppro-
prately it is placed at the head and entrance to this
hail. 1t is not for the purpose of lsudng the goods
Of this manufacturer merely for his benefit that
notice is thus prominently drawn to his exhibit;
but it is to direct the visitor in the proper line of
thought regarding it, that he may realize the posi-
bilities of home manufacture. Let the person who
comes to see Peterson's goods note the fact that
they are not mass of sticky oddities plas,ered
together. They designs executed with the TASTE
skill and art that marks the worker in marble and
gives to the sculptor fame. Al this time we de-
sire to call attention to the little piece the north
end OF the section which is entitled Help up"
farm horse, Just released from labor is captured
by the children for a ride and little toddler, de
string to be taken up Also struggles to mount upon
"a Old Dobbin." Note, if you please, the success Of
the artist in the figure of the horse and in the pose
OF the children and the extraordinary success he
has reached in treating their countenances Realize
that he had to work plastic substance and that it
is one of the most difficult of arts to mold in
sugar, and to accomplish of position in figures
made OF that article, and then you will appreciate
how skilled Mr. Petersons orkmen are. Compare
this bit of art with any and all the Partisan confec
ton goods brought here, and it will become appar-
ent that the Sacramento work is oftener than not
superior to the imported. There is reason for this
The artists Just as competent, and
are themselves of European education in their trade
The goods have had to endure no change
OF climate and no long transportation Thus the
coors are retained brighter, the goods neither
shrink nor swell, and are kept in perfection The
whole stock exhibited by Mr.. Peterson has that
fresh clean and appetzng appearance that indicates
good work. Situated as he is in the geographical
center of the State, in dry climate, with low
age, dockase, etc., it is wonder that from New
Mexico to Washington Territory, and from sacra-
mento to Idaho, people have found it to their
pecuniary advantage to make their jobbing pur-
chases Of him. The result has been great extern
sion Of his manufacturing business and wholesale
trade surprising for its extent and rapid growth
II the proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof
the visitor to the Pavilion at all interested in this
subject should examine for himself and then ask at
the freight offices whether not it is true that the
trade of this factory i, extensive and spread
as stated.
Wagon and Carriage Work.
Noticeable in the display of wagon and carriage
work at the Park is three-spring light
delivery wagon, built by Nielsen Brothers,
whose works located in this city, Tenth street,
between and X. The wagon was built for Hill &
Morrison, grocers, whose names appear ornamen-
tally upon it. In its proportions design and general
workmanship in both wood and metal it is through.
out an exceedingly fine piece of work. fine as can
anywhere be produced. 1t is the subject of marked
attention by all visitors who pass it. Such work
carries its own certificate of merit, and the exhibit
is a credit to its builders
