Exhibits from Otn0f COunCloS-Spe-
cial Mention of Displays-The
Crowd Last Night.
There was q moderately good attend
ance yesterday at the Fair during the
day, and in the evening . very good
crowd filled the building. The exhibits
are now all in place, and the public will
find everything in good order. From
this time on the Fair should be well pat
ronized. Its merits as an exposition of
the produce and manufactures of this
section Of the State cannot be questioned
and they deserve recognition on the part
Of the public.
Yesterday evening the Seventh Regi-
ment band was again in attendance, and
rendered good programme Of popular
music. The pianos on the stage were
generally in use when the band was not
playing, and it is q noticeable fact that
the acoustic properties of the Pavilion are
such that the sound of q piano can be
heard to the farthest corner.
Among the visitors were noted the
faces of a great many prominent people.
There was very large percentage ofyoung
people, and among these a great many
pretty girls. The seats around the gal
lery are very popular place Of resort for
those who wish to look down and watch
the crowd below and listen to the music.
As all parts of the building are bril-
hantly illuminated, the sight is very
attractive one.
The Directors express themselves as
tolerably we'll satisfied with the outlook,
although the attendance thus tar is not
quite up to what they hope for later on.
The refreshments are served in the base
ment by the ladies of the Orphans
Home. The room is tastefully arranged,
and the ice cream and cake is of q
superior order. This department of the
Fair is certainly deserving of very liberal
patronage.
The most satisfactory way to give an
account of the exhibits is to suppose the
visitor to begin near the Secretary's desk,
and wander around the building taking
in parallel aisles as he comes to them.
Beginning at the southwest corner OF
the Pavilion, the first exhibit to be no.
ticed is q small showcase filed with
elegantly prepared pressed meats from
the Norma market of M. T. Ryan & 90.
Back Of this along the wall isarrsnged an
exhibit Of road carts, gigs and buggies
from the establishment of Newell Mat
thews. Hawley, King & Co. come next,
with buggies, delivery wagons and phae-
tons-an excellent display.
The Pacific Clay Manufacturing Com
pany, of South Riverside, has the stall
next to the door leading into the annex.
They have q good display of vitrified
pipe, building blocks, chimney pieces and
ollas, together with some artistic work in
clay.
Going out into the annex the average
visitors interest in electrical apparatus
will probably cause him to look fret at
the Thompson Houston electric plant,
which furnishes light and heat to the
building. 1t is supplied by the Rhodes
& Reese Co., of this city. The engine is
contributed by E. K. Green and the
dynamo is owned by the Redondo Beach
Company, but was loaned to the Agri-
cultural Association by Captain Aims
worth for this occasion. The arc lamps
throughout the building burn with a
steady and clear light. The directors of
the fair thought that the public would
be interested in seeing electricity gener-
ated, and patronized this company. For
some reason the Los Angeles Electric
Light Company refused to allow their
lamps, which are already in the build
ing, to be used.
Another prominent exhibit in the an
mex is that of II. P. Gregory & Co., by
P. R. Keith, agent. There is very neat
little Otto gas engine, Taylor 15-horse
power engine, some Blake steam pumps,
Webber centrifugal pumps, Sturtevant
blowers, emery grinders, an Atlas en-
gine and boiler, Gilbert wood-split
pulleys, Payne's engine and boiler and
Jackson vault lights. 1t is a very COM
plete and an interesting display. The
Otto engine is in active operation and at
tracts many visitors.
Vandoren & Schmidt have an exhibit
in this part of the building which speaks
we'll for new industry of this city. II
is handsome display of sandstone from
the Van Keith quarries In East Los An
geles. All this stone is taken out inside
of the city limits. 1t is har0 and fine
and works up neatly. There is un-
doubtedly future ahead for it.
Among other exhibits in this annex
may be mentioned: The windmills, of
which E. X. Green and W. T. Edwards
are the agents; q unique folding bath
tub, of which G. R. Baxter is agent !;
. display by II. Giese of mowers reapers.
plows, harrows and wagons steam pumps
by the Pacific Manufacturing Company
and the Star windmill of the Los Angeles
Windmill Company. Hawley, King &
Co. have here large exhibit of agricul-
tural implements, incubators, plows and
farm wagons. The Fosmir Iron Works of
this city have an exhibit of iron posts,
plows, iron fences and agricultural imple.
ments. Here there are also some good
samples of the work of the Los Angeles
Pressed Brick and Terra Gotta Company,
and patent blackboard manufactured in
Napa.
The annex contains small exhibit of
what ought to be one of the best
products of the county, viz: chickens
The Los Angeles poultry ranch has half
a dozen coops, and w. W. Thurston has
q good display. Little Willie Workman,
one of AL Workman's sons, has some
white rabbits here, which he watches
zealously.
Coming back into the main building,
the first booth on the way toward the
stage is that of the Davis Sewing Ma
chine, where quantity of beautiful en-
broidery and fine etching done with the
appliances of that machine is on exhibi
zion. Next to this ig the stand of the
