PAVILION NOTES
When the pavilion closed last night the
large crowd was well pleased with the en-
teriainment provided by the Directors.
The programme consisted of opening re-
marks by DR.. 0. Harvey, of Calf, music by
the Glee Club, the reading of an original
poem by Mrs. Elizabeth Pardoe, solo by
Miss Jenkins, of Jackson, and an address
BY Judge Armstrong. of Sacramento.
When Judge Armstrong had finished his
address the floor was cleared for dancing,
and the Hussar Band orchestra gained fur
ther favor by reason OF well rendered con-
cert and dance music furnished through
out the evening.
Like the Association President on the
evening before, Judge Armstrong chided
the citizens for lack of harmony and en-
ergy and for failing 20 avail themselves of
such opportunities es the fair affords for
advertising 10 the people at large what this
particular portion of the toothill section
could do. Il said he felt personal inter-
est in Amador county, having on his arri
val in California, thirty-two years before,
made it his home, and he had personal
knowledge or fact that Amador stood sec
oud in general resources to no county in
California. Where are your exhibits.
he asked. within five miles of here is
one of the richest and best copper mines
on the coast, aud in the neigh boring city
of Sacramento not one in thousand has
ever heard of it. and not specimen is in
this pavilion. And so | may say of your
immense sandstone quarries, your wonder
full slate quarries, only recently discovered,
your coal mines, your potteTs clay, your
quartz, rich in gold, and not specimen on
exhibition"
Notwithstanding the severe criticisms of
those local to the section, and who feel
local pride that the best foot should be put
forward, the pavilion exhibit has much to
commend, sud is thronged with visitors
from morning till midnight.
Among the most noteworty exhibits are
those of the Q ranch, that occupies space
at the entrance of the pavilion. This ex-
hibit alone is sufficient toguarantee place
for AmaIior in the front rank as producer
of unexcelled agricultural and horticult- |
ural products, to enumerate which would |
simply be to catalogue list of the grains, |
fruits and vegetables that California soil |
and climate can produce.
the Native Sons and W. @. 7. q. lodges |
each have attractive booths with parapher- |
MALTA of their respective orders, together |
with curioS and memenioes that draw con- |
siderable attention,
The most elaborate display by visiting |
exhibitors is that made by Hodson, the |
Sacramento photographer. The exhibit |
consists of twelve life.size direct photo |
graphic portraits of we'll known person
ages, admirably arranged, and group pic |
ture of the last Assembly, which the |
RECORD UNION in its local columns not long |
since pronounced one of the best ever |
made. These pictures, all in large and ele- |
giant frames, occupy space in the art gallery |
On the second floor, and attract more atten- |
ton than anything in the pavilion.
The department devoted to ladies' fancy |
work has numerous entries, and the exhibit |
in quality Of work compares favorably with |
that made at the State fairs.
The Committees on Awards are now all |
at work, and expect to finish during the |
the day.
The ladies tournament takes place Fri |
day morning at 10 o'clock. Special races |
have been arranged, and the fair will con-
tinue until Saturday night.
Among the arrivals yesterday was Dr. o. |
Harvey az Calf Mayor Erap0ry and w I |
