ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS.
Continuing the list of meritorious ex-
hibits, the following are noted
Perhaps more attention is paid to the
display of the Bruenn pianos of Oakland
than to any other single display in the Pa
vilion. The elegant cases and beautiful
tone of these pianos is great and pleasant
surprise, and it seems hard to believe that
such elegant instruments are being manu-
featured IN California. One piano, beauti-
tifully finished in redwood root, attracts
most attention. Hundreds congregate
around the stand nightly to enjoy the
music, and the aisles are almost impossible.
The Bell Conservatory has an elaborate
and artistic display of plants. eveTgreens
and flowers of great variety in the north
east conservatory.

the main entrance, where visitors are per-
