The Jacob Strahle Slate Company have
erected small school. house in the Pavil-
ion which is made entirely of slate. The
dimensions of the building are 12x12 feet
and 10 feet high including The tower. The
quarry from which the slate is taken is
located about six miles north of Plscer-
vile, and Is said to be inexhaustible. That
used in the construction of the building
shows the different uses it can be put to.
Mr.. Strahle says that he was the first in
this State to introduce slate into our local
markets as an article of commerce, and
that he has met with hattering success.
People, said Mr.. Strshle, on this coast
have not been fully educated to understand
the advantages of slate for roofing pur-
poses. Il is said to be by far the cheapest
article that you can roof your house with.
The reasons are, a roof of this slate will
outlast the life of anv building, never re-
quires painting, and is fire and storm proof.

James Longshore, the trunk-manufact-
uSer, corner of Sixth and K streets MA
sohlc building, makes a fac exhibit of
trunks and valises in the south gallery of
the Pavilion. The display shows num-
Der of styles, from the cheaper grades up to
the best to be hsd. Mr.. Longshore claims
for his goods many advantages over
others of the same class put upon the
market. Particular reference is made to
the substantial workmanship of each trunk
or yallse. He says that years of experience
has taught him that the large majority of
people want an article that will last and
not fall to pieces the first time it is
handled. Ladies and gentlemen visiting
the city are invited to visit Mr.. Lopgshore's
nlqna nf bueinoco nd fho
stock kept constantly on hand. Particular
attention given to orders.
Gregory, the artist, makes a meritorious
exhibit of his Photographic work in the
east gallery, over the main entrance. A
number of children give an excellent
Quaker exhibition each evening. Sittings
Tor photographs are made by electric light.
In the Playground.
So great was the crowd last night that
poured into the playground at the Pavilion
that it was found necessary to keep the
steady stream pouring out at another door
from that at which entrance was made.
The various games were kept going con-
stantly, and the exercises were enlivened
by the excellent music rendered by the
Hussar Band, under George G. Holbrook's
leadership. Hundreds visited the amphi.
theater for the first time, and all had some
thing good to say OF Messrs. Weinstock,
Lubin q Co. for the opportunities afforded
Tor so much enjoyment. 1t is treat in
itself to see the little ones at the various
games.
Yesterday the children of the Protestant
Orphan Asylum, under charge of attend
ants, visited the playground by invitation.
and enjoyed themselves for a couple of
hours, after which they were taken through
the Pavilion. 1t was a red-letter day for
the parentless little ones, and one they will
not soon forget. Last evening three mem.
bers of the Sacramento Athletic Club gave
an exhibition on the horizontal bars, and
there was the usual round of entertain
ments by Cinderella Santa Claus, Aladdin,
Robinson Crusoe, etc.
Tonight the Playground exercises will
open at o'clock with music, and at $50
there will be battalion drill by the local
companies of the First Artillery Regiment,
Colonel Guthrie commander, for a valua-
BILE trophy offered by Weinstock, Lubin &
Co. 1t is earnestly requested that all who
desire to witness the drill come early and
secure seats, which will be provided all
around the drill ground, as the doors will
be closed while the drill is in progress, or
after the seats are all filled. This will be
necessary in order that the crowd may not
interfere with the evolutions of the men.
