SPECIAL MENTION.
]. f. Hill, of the Pacific Wheel and Car
riage Works, Nos. 1901 to 1928 J street,
makes a large and handsome display of the
products of his factory, in the Pavilion in
an alcoye, southwest of the rotunda Here
is presented to the observation of visitors
one of the largest and most rare collections
of family carriages, open and top buggies
and other ight-running vehicles that has
ever been exhibited by this establishment.
In this review, which will only be general
in character, we desire to call attention to
the quality of material used in construc-
ton, both of iron, steel and wood: the
workmanship and finish of each vehicle,
the fine outline proportions so artistically
observed In the manufacture of every car
riage or buggy comprising this collection.
To the person who may desire to pur-
chase a buggy or carriage, these
are points of interest, and will suggest
themselves to the reason of every intelli-
gent buyer. At this time it may not be
out OF place to say that this display has not
been prepared for exhibit purposes only In
affirmation of this we will invite the reader
to visit Mr.. Hills carriage repository, where
Will be found just as desirable stock as
that now in the Pavilion. These works
are among the largest in the State employ
ing a number of skilled workmen. The
Pacific Wheel and Carriage Works are not
confined alone to this class of goods. They
build all kinds Of heavy and light wagons,
and are prepared to fill orders for hard
wood and all kinds of wagon findings. A

PORTRAIT OF GENERAL GRANT.
On the west wall of the Art Gallery hangs
an oil painting, which is attracting the adj
miration Of thousands of people. Like tn
grand old hero, it is not without history.
The portrait represents the General with a
ield-glass i'll his hand, Immediately after
his arrival on the battlefield of Shiloh In
the distance are seen infantry and cavalry
also gunboats on the river. The portrait
was sketched at the time by Howard Cam
pIon, and finished in 1869. 1t is valuable
work of art Our fellow-townsman, VIM.

Manufacturer of carriages and buggies,
whose place of business is located on Ninth
street, between | and J. Nos. 90 to 914
exhibits fine stock of carriages, open and
top buggies, phaetons and one Surrey. The
collection consists of thirteen vehicles, and
no two of them are alike Mr. Meister
invites the public to examine his exhibit
and judge for themselves as to make and
finish, claiming, as he does, that no better
or more durable line of buggies, phaetons
or carriages can be found anywhere. These
goods are all his own make
WILLS & PoCKMAN
In the west wing of the Exposition
building Wills & Pockman, Pacific coast
patent agents, exhibit an incubator and
brooder. a few of the leading points
OF interest claimed for this incubator may
be summed up as follows: 1t is self-regn
lating, simple, reliable, durable and cheap,
and is manufactured for 144-egg capacity
up to 200, ranging in prices from $40 to
SloU. Other sizes are made at proportionate
prices. Persons interested in broodinp
chickens will do well to call on these gem
tlemen and examine this brooder for them
selves 1t is, without doubt, one of the
most complete III the market
AN IMPORTANT EXHIBIT.
No display upon the lower floor of the
PAVILION Is more imposing than that of the
Eagle Winery, NJ. S. Nevis of Sacramento
proprietor. 1t presents, in pipes, bottles
and cases, examples of the manufacture of
| the winery. We have already referred GEN
orally to the display, but it merits further
mention, for 1t represents an interest that
is becoming more and more important
every day in commercial and productive
economy of California. The factory is To-
Gated on Eighteenth street, between o and
I, where the buildings are the most impos-
ing and important in the east end of the
city. MIR. Nevis is a practical wine-maker.
He acquired his skill after long service
in the vine lands of Europe. The Eagle
Winery produce is widely known and has
gained so enyiable a reputation for excel
lence that the claim of Mr. Nevis that his
wines are of the very best of California
production, would seem to be thoroughly
well grounded. So confident is the exhibi-
tor that he has entered the competition for
the Society gold medal. The exhibit con-
talns 126 cases and eight pipes and the
minimum value of the goods is Sc 600
Examination will demonstrate that there
are no dummies. The winery produces all
the choice and popular wines of commerce.
such as port, sherry, reisling white wine
angelica, claret and ZinfandeI, and unsur-
passed brands of California grape brandies.
The factory is an important element in the
trade OF the city, adding material strength
to this market as buyer as well as seller.
1T employs large number of men and
disburses on a heavy payroll. Mr.. Nevis
enjoys all the advantages of the Sacra-
mento market-centrality, ease and cheap
ness of shipment, light expenses and rap
idity in filling orders. Since last January
he has shipped ten carloads of wine to New
York alone.

There is constant application at the
neat stand just north of the rotunda, where |
the natural mineral water, Tolenas Springs
soda, is dispensed. T. II. Hooper is the |
general agent, and Felter 4 Son, of Sacra- !
mento, are agents of the northern tier of
counties. Whoever tests the water is
pleased with lt-clear as crystal, refresh |
ing, satisfying. The springs are five |
miles north of Suisun. The gas from the |
spring is gathered and conveyed to reser-
voir tapped, and the water led off |
to the bottling rooms, where it |
is again forced into the water |

acknowledgement of the claims of this de-
lightful water.
