many hundreds attending in the evening.
Over 5000 school children, attended by
their teachers, visited the pavilion between
the hours of y and i o'clock P. NJ. This
was pleasing feature, and it is safe to say
that the young eyes which gazed upon the
golden fruit with suca admiration will not
soon forget this, the first citrus fair of north
ern California. While the people of Sacra-
mento have been admiring the -fruitfulness
of Yuba and Butte, the people from those
counties who gazed upon the many hun
dreds of bright, healthful and smiling
faces, returned the compliment by remark
ing: Productive Sacramento, she takes
the cake"
7. J. Sherwood, of Marysville, in speak
ing of the Yuba exhibit, says The ex-
hibit of citrus fruit by the citizens of
Marysville and Yuba county amounts to
5000 pounds, by fifty contributors, and en-
braces oranges, lemons, lines, citron, per-
simmons. olives, etc. BY actual count in a
canvass of the city of Marysville, occupy

and over 5000 almond trees, from which a
full carload of fine almonds were sent TO
Chicago, of the crop of 1885. The fruits
and nuts exhibited at the citrus fair is a
fair sample OF what has been grown in this
county, and we take pride in calling atten-
ton TO their superior quality. And when this
has all been accomplished in about twenty
five years, in comparatively new county,
we think it is sufficient evidence of the fer
tility of the soil and wonderful climate in
which we are located
DR.. G.. +. Stone, of Marysville whose ex-
hibit has attracted so much attention, says
My trees are seedlings, and commenced
bearing when seven years old. This is the
fourth year of bearing. The largest fruit
was picked before the idea of contributing
TO the fair was conceived. l send both
small and large-a good average. The box
is ct the disposal Of the Directors, and need
not be returned to me. | hope the propo-
sition to send the exhibit to Washington
may be acceptable to Senator Stanford, and
free distribution made among the rulers
now assembled at the nations capitol In
this way the capabilities and possibilities
OF this section of California, when freed
from the menace of hydraulic mining, VIII
more generally be made known"
