work.
The eastern portion of the pavilion is
surrendered in the central part to the
devotees of terpsichore, in the evening,
while the circumference is occupied by
exhibits various kinds. The J.. w.
Calkins Carriage Company have fine
display of carriages on the north side,
while opposite. on the south side, Mr.
II. Glass exhibits sometime specimens of
Los Angeles book binding that is credit
to him and to the city. His immense
volumes for the Sheriff's Office and the
Farmers and Merchants Bank are mod
els of elegance and strength. Mr.. Glass
is achieving fine reputation for his
work and is the only binder that exhib-
tied his work at the fair.
The honey exhibit is not SO extensive
as formerly, but it is very interesting.
Mr.. w. w. Bliss, of Duarte, is the lead
ing exhibitor, and makes an exhibit Of
the bees at work, comb foundation and
specimens of honey. Mr.. N. Levering,
of Coldwater Canon, also makes good
exhibit. 1t is bad season for honey.
In the art department the number OF
paintings and drawings are less than
usual, and the display very meagre.
Owing to the unfinished condition of the
building, many persons would not ex-
hibit their pictures, and the room being
limited to one wall, destroyed the beau
tiful effect of gallery of art. In effect,
there was no good show for display,
and, consequently, no display could be
made commensurate with the resources
of the city, where there are thousands
of works of art and fine pictures that
might have been exhibited had there
been gallery fit to put them in. As
consequence, the picture display went
by default. A few artists placed a few
works on exhibition.
Messrs. Albertus & Baker had an ex-
hibition of about twenty paintings and
drawings. and specimens of crystal oil
painting. L. Jaynes Putnam also dis
played few sketches, and SO also did
Mr.. L. H. Jaynes. Mrs. II. A. Barclay
displayed a crayon of her husband.
This display must convince the society
that a separate, safe and appropriate
room should be prepared for pictures
and works of art. There are private
families here who have double the num-
Der of pictures in their houses than were
in the exhibition, but they would not
bring them out without suitable place
of exhibition. Such hall we hope to
have ere long that will accommodate a
thousand pictures. Then the pictures
will come forth.
The following are the entries for

pressive.

consisting Of plows, eultivators, reapers
and mowers, cider mills, potatoes, hops,
corn, barley. melons and squashes. This
room also contains a display of fruit
trees from Judge Ranney's nurseries at
Florence, that are surprise to every
body. In this collection are peach trees
that have grown twelve feet in height
in the past eight months. and pear trees,
that have grown ten feet in the same
time. both from buds. J. s. Calkins
also displayed lot of fine fruit trees
and nursery stock.
An object of special interest was some
incubators that were Matching chickens
day and night, to the inexpressihle de-
light of the young children, who saw
chickens Matching and scratching at the
same time without the instruction of the
traditional mother hen. The samples Of
corn from C. A. Coffman, of the
Ranchito, were very fine. All our lead
ing dealers in farm wagons and agricul-
tural implements were well represented
The bale Of hops from d. Lewis, of Ell
Monte, was very fine specimen.
Owing to the press Of all kinds Of
amusements and public displays it has
been impossible to make mention of
all the meritorious displays Al the fair
during the week. In the fine arts de-
rartment, piano cover made by an old
lady, Miss Bette Smith, Of Orange, at
