the short-enders. Those who were lucky
enough to have bought pools on the fielG
made big winnings, while 'the talent LOST
heavily.
Last night the Pavilion presented al
animated scene, crowded as it was witt
gayly-dressed people of both sexes and O
all ages. There was scarcely room to wall
through the broad galleries and aisles, SC
thronged were they with sight-seers. Tht
Artillery Band discoursed its most entranc

content to spend the evening in the vicinity
of the orchestra-stand.
Through error it was stated yesterday
that the annual address would be delivered
that evening. 1t will be delivered to- nigh
by M. d. Boruck.

COUNTY EXHIBITS AWARDS.
The Committee on County Exhibits last
night decided the contest by awarding
premiums to the different counties in the
following order: Amador, Nevada, Colusa
San Joaquin, Humboldt, Fresno, Yolo
Merced. The Amador people were de-
lighted with their success aud received the
congratulations Of many friends. The
committee spoke in the highest terms Of
the Sacramento exhibit, saying that they
regretted that it was not entered for
premium, as it would have stood very near
the top Of the list.
IN THE PLAY-GRoUNDs.
There was a perfect ocean of people
within the playground last evening, tbs
chief attraction being an exhibition by the
children OF the Marguerite and Sacramento
Free kindergarten Schools. The little
girls were neatly dressed in white, and the
boys also showed that care had been taken
with their toilets. They were all mar.
shaled on the lawn tennis ground, around
which seats were provided, while peopIf
stood behind them several ranks deep.
Indeed, every point within the grounds
from which view of the drill could be
had was occupied. The schools were under
charge of their respective teachers, Miss

1t was great treat to the hundreds OF
spectators who had never before witnessed
e kindergarten exhibition to see the little
ones go through their graceful exercises,
all so perfectly timed to the music of the
piano. Expressions of admiration were
heard on every hand, and it is safe to say
that not one OF those present last night
failed to be deeply impressed with what
they saw and heard. The public should

the channel through which a noble work
of reclamation is going on in the land. and

such schools.
