We yesterday invited special attention To what ia
admitted to be the finest display of home work in
the Pavon-that Of W. f. Peterson, confectioner.

follows vocation that calls for rare art skill There
can be no question that Peterson's display of fine
goods is fully equal to the best that is imported
from Europe and the East, and frequently SURPRISES
them But Of what Mr.. Psterson's exhibit most
strongly gives point to- is the evident fact that he
manufactures for The trade in successful competi-
ton with the manufacturers of rival markets His
trade Is the record of remarkable success and it is
due not only to the fact that his goods are of such
superi.r quality, but also to the fact that his oca.

rule in Sacramento that all thess enable

dealer that the manufacturer nowhere else can and
that the importer equal with his fine French
candies. The reason is clearly apparent Peterson
has just as skilled European workmeu as remain in
Europe; he can afford to pay the higher rate of
wages to save ong trlnsp rtaton and heavy freghts
and insurance, and above ALL have his goods made
just as the demands of the trade exact. But he
nevertheless imports from Europe and the East,
and keeps all the bas. brands of confectionery of
foreign make; and not only the costly goods but,

can guarantee purity. 1t is true that some o, the

article and that the consumer who is lust as share

not to longer DWELL let pass by the brilliant
exhibit OF Mr.. Peterson in the small upper hail.
1t costs nothing to see it. and Peterson never vet

courteous inquiries concerning his interesting bust

Splendid Exhibit.
In the small upper hall Henry Fisher, the we'll
known wholesale and retail confectioner Of Sacra.
mento has his department. where all his exhibits Of
confectionery are placed in order on shelves and
counters and in fine glass cases. That it attracts
the attention and awakens the admiration of ali
who enter the hall, is say the simple truth That
it is worthy OF all admiration is also but the truth
To that IL will hear CRITICAL e,,ar,,;,,

sents beautiful and chaste designs worked out in
prominent figure pieces naryelou, temple in set

the highest skill These will be referred to more at
length in future note. To TIE unsurpassed display
Of home made, pure and wholesome candies; to the

there should be given much attention Mr.. Fisher
very safely challenges any rival market or manu-
facturer to excel him in the product of fine and
pure candies either in quality or variety or purity
He is large iobber, and has been for years. His
rooms and factory are the largest the coast,
outside Of San Francisco, and his trade extends to
every limit where Sacramento finds market.
A Dazzling Palace.
Perhaps nothing in the entire Pavilion may be
truthfully said 10 attract so much unbroken atten.

our ow-townsmen, Scott & Muir whose gas.
fitting and plumbing establishment is located on J
street. near Third. Their display occupies a space
OF about twelve feet Square in the eastern apart
ment OF the upper hail. and at night affords such a
dazzling bod Of light and attraction as to be the
pivotal center for visitors, and to almost blockade

incosed by black rail, and the raised platform is
neatly earpeted. A most unique and skillfully
made framework of gas-ppe of various Sizes about
twelve feet in hight and rectangular in form. ex-

in which this framework is erected, with brackets
from the main pieces representing branches of
