OPENING EXERCISES.
The Pavilion was formally opened Tues
day night by an address by the Association
President, L. S. Gregory. to large attend
ance. In the course OF his remarks he
said the display presented did not one
tenth represent the resources of the dis
trict territory, and most numerically scored
q class who, by sheer negligence permitted
the exhibit to be other than it should, and
then stand back and criticise the same and
kick at the management.
The display, although meager, presents
many attractive features and it is worthy
of comment that the local exhibits were
all in place in time for the opening
A stage occupies one end Of the Pavilion,
in front of which excellent seating arrange
ments have been made, and a pleasing pro-
gramme is rendered each evening consist
ing of addresses by prominent men, songs
by the Glee Club, Rotations, and music bv
the Sacramento Hussar band orchestra of
eight pieces under the leadership of R. n.
Greer.
For the past four days the arriving
trains, although running two extra coaches,
have been loaded with visitors, and the
streets present lively appearance. The
attendance, for first day, has been large,
both at Park and Pavilion. The track is in
excellent condition and all races close and
interesting, Messrs. Gregory, Cropsey and
Plummer officiated as judges, Worth ODER
