THE CITRUS EXHIBITION.
Close of the Mid-Winter Orange ant
Floral Exhibition.

Floral Exhibition.
The citrus exhibition of northern and
central California, which closed in this city
Saturday night, was in every respect an
eminent success, having far exceeded the
expectations of the projectors. When the
fair was first talked of it was proposed by
some to hold it in a storeroom ON street,
in size 20 by 90 feet. That space would no
have held properly displayed a quarter of
the exhibit of either the counties of Sacra-
mento, Yuba, Butte or Placer, and the
| commodious Arcade building will not be-
gin to be large enough 10 hold the second
annual fair, which will be held in December
| next, and for which the State Exposition
building will be secured. While the pro-
| Jectors were agreeably surprised, its success
| has been revelation to the general public
Ii has been conclusively shown that central
| and northern California not only can but
does raise citrus fruits. in such quantities
as TO encourage their production on an eX-
| tensive scale for the market, and as to
quality our budded fruit is equal to the
best that is raised in the southern portion
of the State. The fair has been written up,
and the individual exhibits described, from
day to day, in the RECORD UNION, in a
straightforward and truthful manner.
That the effort at description has fallen
! short OF doing justice to the subject has
been apparent TO all who were able to at
tend the fair and see for themselvea No
language can express, no artist can paint,
the understandable beauty that greeted one
on every side.
The attendance Saturday and Saturday
night was fully as large as that of any pre-
ceding day and evening.
In addition to the awards which were
published in Saturdays REcoRD-UNIo the
following were made:

The following address has been issued to
exhibitors
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CITRUS FAIR !
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
SACRAMENTO, January 16 1886
To Exhibitors: II has been determined TO take
the exhibits now in our citrus fair 10 San Fran
cisco for exhibition. 1t was thought by the
officers of the fair. ana the friends of northern
California, that an exhibition of all these semi
tropic productions i'll the great commercial city
OF the Pacific coast. where thousands of people
including tourists from all parts of the world see
them, would be the best possible advertisement
OF the possibilities of the northern half of the
State. In order that the greatest benefits may
be realized from this exhibition in San Fran
cisco, the exhibits should be as large and fresh
as possible. If all those whose exhibits are to
go 10 San Francisco could send additions TO
them good results would be so much the greater
The Executive Committee would, therefore
urge all those people in northern California,
who have citrus fruit and other semi-tropic pro-
ductons. 10 forward as much as possible;
to mark all shipments az Northern California
Citrus Fair" and in care of the Mechanics
Institute, San Francisco. All charges will be
paid by the Mechanics Institute. We feel salts
ned that each orange or lemon sent to San Fran
cisco IS a bid by the locality from which it
comes for an increase of population and capital
Exhibits should be sent so as to reach San Fran
cisco by Monday, the 25th instant at the latest.
We feel that the future of our part of the State
viii be largely affected by this exhibition in san
FRANCISCO. Ii. LATHAM, Secretary,
For the Executive Committee.
