cheeses and small, round cheeses, and rolls,

RICH, GOLDEN BUTTER.
Of mill products there was a complete
and full exhibit. The Buckeye Mills,
located at Marysyilie, which have a good
name all over the world where good flour
is appreciated, had fine show in this line
OF orchard and vineyard products there
are piles of rich-looking apples, pears,

tables loaded with all kinds of table, wine
rasn and seedless grapes There are
pyramids of fruit in glass jars, preserved
fruits, jams and jellies, all put up by the
good housewives. Dried fruits are in

Whole tables were covered with beautiful

other articles of cooked food made an at
tractive exhibit.
OF machinery and implements there is a
large and varied exhibit, including every
thing used On a ranch, from hay press
down to a gopher-trap plows, from the
great gangs to the small one horse plow !;
carriages of all kinds, shapes and sizes,
from band-wagon to pony phaeton,
all made in the district The fur
niture exhibits are exceedingly full
and creditable, and there are several of
them. The specimens of district-made
harness and saddlery are numerous and
highly creditabe. The list of these me-
chanical products is too long even for men
ton, and it is sufficient to say that they
were a credit in quantity and quality to any
country. twill not do to omit the exhibit
of wooden goods from the Marysville
Wooden Mills, as it attracted much atten-
ton and excited
THE ADMIRATION OF ALL.
The blankets are as fine as ever came from
the loom, and the iannels are of every
grade. There are also fine samples of cassi-
meres and tweeds on exhibition. These
mills are an important factor in this part of
the State. They represent 100000 capital,
employ over 100 artisans, use 100000
pounds of wool annually, and disburse
5000 for labor each year.
In the ladies' department there is an al
most endless display There is a bewilder-
ing exhibit of millinery goods that leaves a
man i'll doubt where nature ends and the
| work of the artist begins. In embroider-
les, needle and fancy work, one-half of this
great hall is taken up. The exhibits of
photographs, paintings, pen-work and
| crayons is large, and to layman artistic.
There are large displays of paintings on
| canvas. velvet, satin, glass, porcelain, tin,
stone and paper. The painting on porce-
lain attracted especial attention for its
beauty of design and finish. In the stock
departments the entries and exhibits are
larger than ever before here, and it is be-
| lieyed larger than ever before in northern
California. The horse parade was especially
admired, and included thoroughbred trot-
ting and draft horses.
THE CATTLE SHOW
Included Durhams, Devons, Herefords,
Polled-Angus, Holsteins, Jerseys and
Ayrshires, and they were of the pure
bloods and the best specimens of the pure
bloods. The show of sheep, swine and
poultry was large and fine.
The speed contests had full fields OF
starters, and the sport was good. The at
tendance was large at both the Park and
Pavilion. 1t is the universal verdict that
the fair is a great success, and that too
much credit for this success cannot be
given to the officers of the Association
Hon. Chas. f. Reed delivered the annual
address, which was listened to by several
hundred people, and was exceedingly able
and instructive.
In conclusion it may be proper to say,
these exhibits represent country which
the Indians occupied little more than a
quarter of century ago, and that all this
development has taken place in that short
time. 1t points to the fact that these two
counties have entered upon race of prog
ress that will make them the foremost on
the Pacific coast Here in the midst of
this development are cheap lands for the
hor, e-seeker,,, where just as beautiful homes
as these exhibitors now have can be created
by the newcomer. III. l..
