success. The Gutedel is made chiefly from
the Golden Chasselas and Chasselas de Fon-
tainbleau. The Napa Riesling is from the
White Riesling or Johannisberg Riesling
or Frat ken Riesling The Sauvignon is
one of the famous Sauterne varieties of
France. The brandies shown are all grape
brandies. Napa county's claim is that she
produces the highest qualities of light red
table wines, and that it produces very
nearly one-third of the wine made in the
State. The claim certainly appears to be
verified by the sense and the proofs adj
duced. Regarding the fruits thew raise,
they speak for themselves. They are cred
liable and in some respects are superior to
other pretentious exhibits. But Napa has
not raised oranges or lemons for commerce
or given any broad attention to them

shown by Mr.. Estee. 1t is small, fiat
orange and of good flavor. Mr.. Estee shows
four varieties of oranges, Mission, Medi-

LAST NIGHT-To-D
For the opening night the attendance
last evening was very good indeed. The
hall, with its fresh, clean carpet of saw
decorations, the magnificent display of
fruits, was sight well worth many mile
of travel to see. The fair will be open all
day to-day. Tickets for the season, admit
ting a gentleman and lady, are but 81.
Single admission, % cents, children
| IN charge, 10 cents. There ought to be
so liberal an attendance as to insure
money enough to make it positively Ger
tain that the exhibits will be sent to Chi
cago to do missionary work for Central and
northern California. Tonight Hon. NJ. NJ.
Estee, of Napa, will deliver the opening
address. He is a practical viticulturist and
horticultuIist, an accomplished speaker,
and has facts to relate and suggestions to
throw out, full of interest to all the people.
He should have large audience.
The Board of Management yesterday te-
legraphed the San Francisco Board of Trade
asking if it would visit the fair on San
Francisco day wednesday,. The response
was received that the invitation was ae-
cepted, and that the Board would invite
citizens of San Francisco generally to ac-
company them TO Sacramento on that day.
The Fair Directors thereupon invited the
Sacramento Board of Trade to receive the
San Francisco visitors ard extend the usual
courtesies. P. E. Plat was appointed, on
behalf of the Citrus Fair Association, to go
to Davisville and meet the guests.
Friday has been named Pioneer Day."
On that day all children of the public and
private schools, and of the Orphan Asylum
will be invited to attend.
There will be music at the fair tonight
by one of the city bands.
