THE FAIR.
THE THIRD DAY PROVES A GRAND
SUCCESS.
The Attendance at the Pavilion
Last Night a Large and Brilliant
One-Stray Notes.

labelling and arranging their exhibits, anC
last night it presented brilliant spectacle
the large number of electric lights illumin
ating the immense amphitheater resplend
entin colors, and it was on the lips of every
one, no matter where located, on the mair
hall or in the gallery, "the Pavilion neyel
looked half so well before The music
stand, occupied by the First Artillery Band
/ is located in the center of the main hall
and the music they make is so enhancing
such blending of musical sounds, thai
every thing one looks atseems to partake o.
its harmony, and every step taken is to the
time of the music.
The decorations this year are more
varied, extensive, patriotic and appropriate
than on any former occasion, and tbf
draping of the galleries specially adds to
the appearance ofthe entire building,
On the first or main floor the exhibits
are arranged in booths and in all architect
ural ability is displayed.
No department is attracting more atten-
ton this year than the ladies' fancy
work department. The displays are large
and varied, and the delicate touch of
woman's fingers with the needle and brush
are displayed in profusion on every hand.
Some of the exhibits of painting on china
ware and porcelain are very artistic.
Sacramento tradesmeu are well reure-
sented and some of their displays denote
enterprise that is commendsble.
The leading feature of the fair this wear
is the county exhibits, which will be de-
scribed in detail hereafter, as each one is n
whole exhibition within itself.
Some people have an idea that the Pa
vllion looks its best during the second
week, and hence delay their visit until that
time. In this they are mistaken. The ex-
hibits look better when first placed in posi-
ton; and the first week, as the Pavilion is
not crowded, those who so desire have the
best opportunity of examining the articles
critically. Last night between two and
three thousand people were present, and
they had plenty of room. Next week.
when the mighty crowd will be more ike
ten thousand, it will be more difficult to
move around, and those who become weary
walking about will find great difficulty in
securing chairs.
Tonight the opening address will be de-
llvered by Hon. George A. Knight, of San
Francisco.
The receipts at the Pavilion last night
were 81, ,243 so.
Secretary Smith has information that the
band of Piute athletes have started on
their journey hitherward. Great expecta-
tions are entertained of their baseball con-
test with the Gus Lavensons next Monday
at the Park. The fact that the day (Ad-
mission Day. will be a legal holiday. will
be sure to give the untntoEed redskins a
great audience.
Nearly all the stalls at the Park have
been taken, and stock is constantly arriv-
ing. Notwithstanding the number of new
stalls which have been built, it looks as il
there would be cramping for room.
The ground purchased and added to the
Park on the east affords twice as much
room as before for hogs and one-haif more
for chickens. Along the walls IS new
stalls have been constructed for horses and
cattle
The carriage entrance to the Park this
| year will be at Twenty-ihird and G streets
instead Of on Fl, as heretofore
A new tank of 10000 gallons capacity
has been placed at the north turn of the
track. Water is now located at four differ.
ent places on the track, and there is a great
saving of hauling and less stopping than
| heretofore.
The office of the Entry Clerk at the Park
IS located under the special stand, at the
south end
