pianos. This other thing the Conover
Bros. make has the patent tone resona-
tor" By its use the same quality of tone
between base and treble strings is pre-
served, which is not true in other instru-
ments. The dividing line cannot be deter
mined in the Conover instrument. This
resonator is device of bridge under the
base strings so arranged as to connect
vibration between the base and treble
bridges. This device alone gives the in
strument value over all others in richness
and eveness of tone. But there is one
other reason the Conover patent action,
the substitution of metal hooks for tapes
or brides and thin wires. This makes the
mechanism moth proof, and it can be
played on as long as the grand without
greater fatigue.
A NOTABLE EXPOSITION.
No exhibit strikes the eye more prom
inently than the Henry Fisher confection-
cry display, at the rotunda end of the east
wing. 1t is supplemented by space i'm
mediately south, where the whole process
of manufacture is shown, under the direc-
ton of J. c. Dase, the foreman of the Fisher
mandatory. The exhibit itself is of py-
randall form, very lofty and very beautiful,
while there are landscape scenes, boats,
cars and ships, and panoramic goods in
profusion and wonderful beauty as artistic
modelling. Veto the practical man the great
interest of the exhibit is in its being
Of homemade exclusively. The cake or
naments shown in some glass cases are, of
course, imported, but the candies stick,
drops, etc, and all the creams are hand
made of the very highest order of produc-
ton. Henry Fisher is a pioneer confec-
toner, and the house q leading wholesale
establishment: 1t ships to all parts of the
Coast. 1t enjoys peculiar advantages by
reason of location in filling orders promptly
and at lesser rates than competing Eastern
and Bay houses. Here there is less capital
locked up IN property, no cost for carriage or
dockage, no humid atmosphere, and CEN
trality of location for all the great State and
territorial interior. The house EMPLOYS
the very best of skilled workmen, and
never risks its reputation by sending out
low grade and deceptive products. And it
is to be noted also that there never enters
into the system of the house in coloring
candies any dangerous poisonous or harm
full compounds whatever. The exhibitor
under notice is competitor for the Society's
gold medal, as exhibitor of California pro
ducts. II home production of articles
largely having place in the commerce of
the country, and being directly consumed
by the people, is TO be considered by those
making the awards, the Fisher exhibit
must command their consideration Be
fore closing this rapid review, we must call
attention to the fancy hand made articles
i'll the Fisher exhibit They prove con-
clusively that there is no need to send to
Europe or the East for artistic work in
sugar, for at our own doors our own work
men can fashion them.
MONUMENTAL DESERVING.
Israel Luce 81 Co.. an old-time Sacra-
mento house. make a splendid display of
monumental marble. 1t is lust on the
south of the rotunda. and is very prorni-
nent. There are nine pieces shown. One
stands 10 feet high, and is one of the very
best examples of skilled work in monu-
mental art ever shown here. 1t is of Italian
marble and polished like a mirror. One
other of lesser hight is of the dead rich
white Vermont marble. -Four still smaller
testify equally to the skill of
the workmen. There are also three
handsome tablets. Recently in the
Inyo range Mr.. Luce discovered a
marble ledge upon which quarry is to be
at once opened. 1t is, compared to Italian
and Vermont marble, superior 10 either.
1t has the whiteness of the Vermont and
the hardness of the Italian. Either
dressed or rough it is the superior of either
imported article. Luce & Co. fill orders
for any part of the State and are equal TO
any demands made upon them for anv
kind of marble, whether for monuments
or for domestic and ornamental and bust
ness uses.
