The state Iair,

The annual State Fair is in full blast at
Sacramento, and the city is fuller than ever
of visitors, who seem to think nothing OF
The heat \ frer exhibition will not be
witnessed at any State Fair this autumn.
No State can make such q display of fruic
and vegetables as California, aud producers
invariably do their level best TO show of at
the State Fair. Some of the fruit exhibits
this fall will, we understand, surpass any
thing ever before seen in the State. Our
correspondent tells us that the horse fair
Will be particularly attractive, as might
have been expected from the recent iri-
umphs Of California horses on the Eastern
turf. This summers contests in the East
have generally been between one California
stable and another Eastern stables have
cut no figure in the races where Haggin's
or Baldwins horses have been entered
Some of the same stock will be on exhibit
ton at Sacramento and ambitious turfmen
will naturally seek to improve their stud
by all admiXture of some thoroughbred
blood. 1t is quite on the cards that there
will be exhibited at the Tair new Volante,
q Ben Ali, or perhaps filly that may some
day produce a foal superior TO either of
those flyers.
Sacramento in fair time is pretty place
The town is pretty, and its attractions yari-
GUS. There is good band or two and
two or three very fair places of amusement;
the hotels are hospitable, and country peo-
pie who want to do some shopping can find
in the stores everything they want at fair
prices. Two capital newspapers are pub
lished there which give the country visit
ors all the news OF the day, foreign and
domestic, from a revolution in Bulgaria to
fisticuff in X street. In the residence
e ln 80 h. G., !
dwellings as handsome as any man need
want, surrounded with gardens glowing
with oranges and other luscious fruits !;
and near by, in the country, can be seen
some spacious and admirably cultivated
vineyards
just now the State capital presents an
additional attraction in the shape of the
Legislature sitting in extra session. 1t is
worth the price Of a railroad ticket to see
this show alone--to see willy Bill Parks
ruling everything out of order except the
schemes of his own particular friends
while jolly-fRced DR.. May, with his hand
on his white shirt front, protests that it is
shame to speak lightly Of the water
grabbers, and the hatcht t-faced member
from Sonoma, Cars man MGnday, makes
his little motion that the waters of the
State were created by Almighty God for
the use of Billy Carr; to step over into the
Senate and see how John Daggett can take
his little snooze in his chail while he is
pretending TO listen to speech from Cross
of Nevada, which long ago drove the other
Senators into the lobbies for quiet smoke.
This is 4 sight better worth seeing than any
comedy at the Baldwin or the California
If. after spending an hour in contemplating
this roaring farce, the visitor should hap
l.. i
exchange a few pleasant words with the
well-meaning but Inflated executive of the
State, the visit to the State-house will be
one to be remembered. But in calling on
the Governor visitors must not be so indel-
icate as to refer TO extra sessions or Demo-
cratic conventions.-S. +. Chronicjs, Sep
