SPECIAL MENTION.

Postel & Schnerr may well feel proud of their
splendid exhibit, which stands beneath the
rotunda of the Pavilion on the main floor. Each
evening since the opening of the exposition, it
| has been one of the leading centers of attrac-
| tion to the thousands who nightly throng the
Pavilion. The Fredericksburg lager beer, in
| kegs and handsomely labeled bottles, for which
| the firm are agents, and out of which the dis
! play is made. is one of those delightful drinks
which has gained a wide reputation in every
nook and corner of the Pacific coast States and
| Territories. In the manufacture of this
barley and Bohemian hops are used.
Postel & Schnerr are also the proprietors of the
! Capital Soda Works, the second largest bottling
establishment on the coast, the fredericksburg
| Brewing Company. of san Jose, being the most
| extensive, and for which firm these gentlemen
are agents. The product of the Capital Soda
Works are packed in convenient style and guam
tity TO suit their interior trade In this connee-
tion it viii be proper to say that all goods made
| ard handled by this house are prepared in con-
venient style and delivered to any part OF the
\ city free of charge. The Capital Soda Works
| are located on Front street, between X and L
nos. I'LL and lib. The building is lG0 feet
deep, with an I 40X60, and three stories high,
with elevators and patent ice-hOuse, the tenn
| pcrature of which ranges from 400 to 40. The
sales of this house have quadrupled within the
last three years.
| SUCCESSFUL PORTRAITURE
In the west gallery is the Photographic dis
| play of ]. Asher, of $40 Jstreet Sacramento. 1t
attracts deserved attention, and for reasons
| obvious TO every Judge of Photographic art.
| The exhibit embraces portraits of large size,
| groups, oil cOlored aud retOuched photographs
| and pictures of floral pieces. The notable fea-
lures that impress US most in this showing, are,
| first the liie-like character of the large por
TRAITS, and we call attention especially to those
! of DR.. Hughson, F. L. Dray and II. /. Buckley,
well-known citizens. Second, the success of
Mr.. Asher in securing expressive portraits of
| children. Third the happy results attained in
| phoographing floral pieces, admittedly the
most difficult work for the results rarely or
never come up TO the expectation or desire, and
| for obvious reasons. Bat Mr.. Asher's approach
toward the highest possibility in this direction.
The method MIR. Asher adop.s with children is
| to use the instantaneous process, and this he
does with the eminent success noted. All lovers
! of good Photographic art will find it pleasur-
| able to examine the Asher exhibit with features
| kept in view to which we have called attention.
TIE RED HOUSE,
One of the leading dry goods and cloling
establishments on the coast was referred to

we promised the reader to take up the different
! departments in detail so that the public might
have IL more concise idea of what goes to make
up great business enterprise. Yesterday the
mutitudes who thrOnged the spacious floors
were treated to sight rarely witnessed. The
dh play of silks, satins p ushes, veivets and
fancy goods, etc, were superb and proved one
OF those feasts for the eye seldom witnessed in
the great trade centerS OF the East Never be-
was such an elaborate display made.

must have proved very gratifying to the pro-
| prietor, c. H. Gilman The various lines re

that whatever you may desire to purchase is
brought within the reach of all. Kind and
