PAVILION NOTES,

There is an ample field for the practiced
observer in the Pavilion. The displays in
place-and nearly all are now complete
are varied, beautiful, and the majority of
them replete with interest. Even most of
those the casual observer is prone to class
with the commonplace have specific inter
est, and are studies for the truly observant.
Especially is this true of all that class of
exhibits that are the product of handiwork
and industrial skill. If people who go to a
fair will examine exhibits with a view of
learning something, they will be able to
draw wisdom from q common hard-seat
chair, valuable information from bit of
marble, and knowledge from the simplest
manufactured article. The why and
how of the make of an article, its cost,
wear, uses, source, method of making, etc,
are subjects upon which exhibitors are ever
ready t. give information. Fathers or
mothers can take their children by the
hand, and make a half dozen visits to the
Pavilion lessons of great value to the little
ones. But the practice of trotting through,
and gazing indifferently because SO many
things are common, is Il bad one, and
really makes US blind to a world of object
teaching.
Among the exhibits we make note of
these at the outset, to which we invite the
people to give attention and make inquiry:
There is no exhibit in the Pavilion that
is more interesting, novel, instructive and
informatory of industrial progress than
that made by Weinstock & Lubin, of Sac
ramento, upon the south center of the main
floor. 1t is in a neat pavilion, where
are groups Of workwomen and workmen
pursuing various industries as they were
followed 100 years ago. and as they are fol-
lowed to-day. 1t attracts universal atten-
ton, and is the center of attraction In
one of the departments of it an old fash
Toned writer works away with quilts and
ink horn, while opposite is a young lady
dashing off manuscript from writing ma
chine. At $50 o'clock each evening this
operator throws Off the chief itemsIof the
worlds news as received at the RECORD
UNION office by telegraph from the Asso-
ciated Press, and telephoned to the Pa
vilion.
The indianapolis Furniture and Bedding
Manufacturing Company, T. Rensselaer,, San
Francisco, agent, has an attractive display
of economic furniture. The sofas, lounges
and chairs, that are by this agency almost
instantly connected into beds and lounging
places, are maryels of beauty and convent
ence, and are of a wholly new and decid-
edly novel style. There is an exhibit also
of parlor upholstered rattan and library
furniture, that is very neat and economic
Burns, Hancock & Co., of Sacramento.
have large and brilliant display of rich
glass, china and other table ware 1t is a
very prominent feature in the Pavilion, and
one that strikes the eye forcibly immedi-
ately upon entering the building To at
tempt to describe its varied character and
choice articles in an ordinary note is out of
the question.
