Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-09-20

packed and put in place yesterday morn
ing and proves to be collection OF frui
and vegetables in every way worthy o
the channel city. Two other exhibit
which were not arranged until yesterda.
and which make good showing are tn
Glendora at the Ell Modena. The latter i
very tastefully arranged. The West
minister people have sent in quantity
fruit and vegetables, which have beel
placed at the front end OF the hall, SOM
on one side and some on the other. Th'
Dowrev exhibit is on the left hand sld'
of the hall and occupies long stretch o
the wide table. Having 30 recently beer
in the fair business herself, Downey wa
we'll "heeled" for the occasion. Severa
more booths appear around the outside
of the aisle. The Kenilworth Ostrich
Farm has place in which number o
their feathers are exhibited and the pro
cess of curling illustrated. E. d. Sturte
want. of Bordenstown, N. j., the grower
of ostriches and varieties in the flower
line has a large tank in which are mum
Der Of choice specimens from his branch
garden at Edgemont. Several stand
supply candy and soda water and the
w. G. Z. U. give very good plate o.
ice cream, fruit and home made cake, al
for fifteen cents. Their location is uE
stairs.
The art exhibit is larger and better
than any collection OF work of local tai.
ent which was ever offered to the public
of Los Angeles. The art room is to the
right as one enters the building, and Las
an excellent light from the front win
dows for the display of its exhibit. A
large part of the really good work in the
collection has been done by ]. H. Lewis,
of Sierra Madre. Two pieces of noun
tain scenery, "The Last Clean on Rose
Peak" and "a Storm at Sierra Madre,'
are suggestive OF Bierstadt in firmness Of
outline and strength of color. A view in
Sespe cafion and another on Baldwin's
ranch show what Mr.. Lewis can do with
scenery of another type. Perhaps the
best piece of work which his collection
offers is "a Young Turks Head" which
is peculiarly happy in expression and
coloring. The portrait of Abbot Kinney
presents an admirable counterfeit pre-
sentiment of that eminent tariff reformer.
Mr.. Lewis collection as whole would
do credit to much older city and a
more extensive exhibit.
Mrs. Dolton Bond has two pictures in
the collection of more than ordinary
merit. One of these is the head of an
old man. 1t is life-size figure, admira-
BILE in it's fineness and strength. The
other is pastel, the head OF OF young
girl, which has a Watteau-like sottness
and delicacy. Miss Helen b. Coan has
one of the best studies in the room-a
head of lady done in oils, perfect in its
smoothness of finish.
There are several pieces bearing the
name of H. Ivey which show good con-
ception. They are rather Of the impress
sionist type-water colors OF exceptional
excellence. The caflon scene is study
of foliage effects. The china panel work
of T. w. Pakes, of Pasadena, is good, as
is also the man and donkey of w. S.
Maxwell. Romeo Rerra has number of
pieces brilliant in their coloring and
bizarre in conception. Some flowers by
Mrs. E. B. Melchior, street scene by
Miss Fannie Duval, some landscapes by
Mrs. B. M. Potter, and view of the
Santa Barbara Mission by Miss L. E..
Gorden are worthy of mention.
The Photogravure Company of Chicago
have an exhibit OF their work, which has
the unusual advantage of being artistic
and yet cheap. 1t is the best form of
copying photographs yet devised AT
one end of the room Kan Koo has large
exhibit tastefully arranged, and Henry
Bohrmann exhibits finely carved hat
tree and fine mantel.
In the woman's department will be
found quantity of artistic embroidery
and several paintings by Mrs. Lu Wheat
Smith. The Chums is good conception
fairly executed.
The building was filed yesterday with
crowds coming and going. The main
floor was occupied from early in the
morning by various squads of the Patri-
archs Militant practicing for the competi-
tive drill which came off in the evening.
The Orange band took the stage and
entertained the visitors with music
throughout the day.
To-day the Protestant Orphan Asylum
will visit the Pavilion and be treated to
