THE CALIFORNIA EXHIBITS.
Golden State Day at Louisviiie-Ths Com
ing Exposition at New Orleans.

was memorable day in the history of the
great fair. Speaking of the exhibit of CAL
ifornia products as observed on that oeca-
SION the Louisville Commercial says:
The main attraction during both day and
nlght IN the building was very properly the
| great California exhibit made by the South
ern Pacific Railway Company, and occupy
ing 1900 Feet of space in the north portion
OF the building. 1t is in charge of Major
Charles 3. T1rrill, and he with half a score
OF assistants, was kept busy from morning
till the closing hour entertaining the thou
sands who came to inspect the wonderful
display rom the greatest of the Western
States With hospitality that would do
credit TO native kentuckians, those in
charge OF the display opened bottle after
bottle of sparkling wine from grapes grown
IN Calfornla, the flow ceasing only when
late IN the evening the supply was ex-
hausted.
The exhibit of California products is
unquestionably one of the finest and most
complete ever made in Louisville. It has
been once TO New Orleans, and returns
there week after next. After the close of
the Exposition there it may be taken TO
London but if it is not, will doubtless be
brought to Louisville again next wear. The
management should spare no endeavor to
secure it again. In the exhibit is a COM
plete reflex of the wonderful resources of
California. It's splendid grain, its tooth
some fruits, It's excellent woods, its rich
minerals, its WOODS, cotton, tobacco. nuts
honey, ralsins, prunes and dried and canned
fruits of all sorts, wooden and cotton goods.
leather, wines, bTandies, and aloes and olive
OIL form display of noticeable superiority
and great interest. Add to these etchings,
photographs and paintings without number
nj and Danr1lz ar,H Y,lonac 81
jects, splendid botanical display and many
implements of historical interest, and YOU
have collection that could not be replaced
for cool 100000 and years of toll and
trouble. The perfect climate of California,
the richness OF her soil and wonderful re-
sources of her mines and forests, have
placed her in an enyiable position, and one
of which her people are justly proud To
particularize, in speaking of her display,
would be a task of no small moment"
THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
In recent letter to the San Francisco
Merchant, Charles B. Turrill now in charge
of the California exhibit at Louisville, and
who will be Commissioner for California at
the forthcoming Exposition in New Or
leans. writes
| now want to write you regarding the
coming Exposition at New Orleans, and to
impress upon you and, through you, upon
the viticulturists, the great importance of a
fine viticultural display at the North, Cen
trail and South American Exposition You
know very well that New Orleans is an i'm
portant understanding city, and that the
market is supplied from abroad This
business should be controlled in San Fran
cisco. 1t is not necessary for me to 90 to
great length in noting what should be
shown, or in regard to the manner of max
ing an exhibit. Yourself and your COM
mlttees fully understand these matters
1t occurs to me that your people cannot
do better than TO arrange with Mr. Pohn-
dorff to go with me to New Orleans at the
close of the Louisville Exposition, and
there to continue the good work which he
is doing here. presume you will have no
difficulty in inducing contributors to allow
such portions of their exhibits as may re-
main over at the close of this Exposition
to be taken to New Orleans. The above
remarks apply to raisins and other pro-
ducts as well as wines.
" For those parties who desire to have
their products entered for competition at
New Orleans, ! can give the information
that the management have decided that
articles in our collective display may be
entered for competition upon the payment
of the regular entry fee of so. The great
advantage of this arrangement is that the
all visitors will associate them with our
State, and moreover that contributors need
not be at the expense or trouble attendant
upon keeping up private exhibits. The
entry fee for competition is $40.
" For those who desire to erect special
stands for the display of their exhibits,
arrangements can be made with me so that
all can be accommodated. | have secured
10000 square feet of space in the most ad-
ra,Nta % To-. =.
the Government Building, in which all
State exhibits are made. This space is
surrounded on its four sides by main aisles
twentyfour feet wide.
AS you know, the Exposition opens on
the 10th of November next, and closes on
the 1st of the following April. One of the
most important features of the coming
Exposition will be the extension of COM
mercial relations with the countries to be
represented there. This will be especially
the case IN regard to the various States
and countries of the American Continent,
for the benefit of whom the Exposition is
especially held. Foreign countries how
ever, will be well represented, both in the
matter of exhibits and in the attendance
of prominent representatives.
81 feel certain, from an extensive and
thorough study of the subject, that the
coming Exposition will, in the in
terest of its display, in the thorough
ness of lis management, and in the bene-
hts to result from it, far excel the
old Exposition. One thing is certain, that
this year there will not be the delay in get
ting ready which was such an unfortunate
drawback last winter. There will also not
be the difficulty in reaching the Exposition
grounds that was so annoying at the late
Exposition in New Orleans. A fine steam
| railroad is being built and will be finished
before the opening day of the Exposition.
By this means of transit visitors may take
the cars on Canal street and they will be
landed in few minutes at the Exposition.
This will be one of several rapid modes of
reaching the great show.
l. L made flying visit to New Orleans
last week and found every one actively
engaged in preparing for the coming win
ter. Many of the exhibitors are now at
| work putting up the stands for their dis
plays. l shall return there with the ex-
hibits under my charge at the close of the
Louisville Exhibition and expect to have
everything in place Except such articles as
will come on from time to time) by the
opening day.
In conclusion, allow ME to earnestly
| urge upon you and upon all well-wishers
| for the prosperity of Our State the great
| importance of a fine exhibit from our
State. No one can overestimate the value
| to those sections, which are represented, of
| these great industrial expositions. Could
you and others hear the expressions of
wonder and earnest desire to remove from
other sections to our State, and under
balmier skies, and in more generous soil,
cultivate those products which they see
in our display-could you, say, hear all
| this day by day, you would not wonder at
my desire that no stone should be left I'M
| turned, and no individual exertion thought
| too great to make for our State such dis
| play as will be worthy of her"
