EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN The time is fast
approaching for the third annual meeting
of the Twenty-sixth District Agricultural
Association. This will be the first meeting of
the new district, comprised of Amador and
Sacramento counties, and we naturally
look forward to tae time-August 9Th, 18th,
Sth and 9th-with feeling of pride. This
feeling has been inspired in great degree
by the interest taken, and the magnanimous
spirit exhibited by the people of Sacramento
county in the success of our Joint fair.
l congratulate all concerned upon the
brilliant prospect of q complete success
The citizens of Sacramento seem to appre-
Ciate the importance of the enterprise, and
have responded nobly TO every call for as
sistance in fostering the institution. Even
before Sacramento county was Joined with
Amador as part of the district, the business
| men contributed muni6cently to our SUD-
port, and this year they not only assisted
| us financially, but her merchants, with a
| princely hand, have placed at our disposal
valuable and handsome prizes for the
| ladies tournament. With others vet to
hear from, it is safe TO say that the heart of
| will be gladdened with beautiful and use
| ful memento of the annual fair of 1889.
The following are some OF the prizes :
| All wool combination ladv's dress suit, by
Lipman, Wieger 81 Co., J street, Sacra-
| mento; lady's fine dress hat, by c. II. Gil
man, Red House; fine raw silk table cover.

black satin-lined parasol, trimmed with
deep Spanish guipure lace, by Zemer
Bros, White House, J street; handsome
handpainted lace fan with ivory handle,
| by Hale Bros. & Co. h street. Such men
deserve the gratitude of the public for
justly entitled to the extensive patronage
( they command
The management have purchased a large
| pavilion, which will be properly arranged
| for the accommodation OF exhibitors The
| products and industries of Amador and
| Sacramento counties justify the belief that
our exhibition will be one of the largest
and best held in the State this season A
| fine feature of the exhibition will be the
| display of photography, etc. We will give
a fine gold medal for the best and finest
display of photography, free for all in the
State The collection without doubt will
| be something grand, as some of the finest
artists in California have already signified
| the intention of competing. The exercises
each evening at the pavilion will be of the
| finest order. A number of prominent
gentlemen have kindly consented to deliver
addresses, etc, while the finest music to
| be had will be in constant attendance
| The entries to the races promise to be
numerous, comprising the best stables in
| the State. This is due to liberal stakes and
purses and the fact that we, unlike other
district fairs, make our speed contests tree
| To all corners. The hOrSemen of Sacya-
mento and Amador bar nothing, fear
nothing.
An inspection of our speed programme
will show that our contests are SO arranged
| that there will be at least two races for
each class OF horses. We invite attention
| to our programme, and assure the horse
men that the management will spare no
pains TO provide suitable accommodations
! for their horses and will use every endeavor
To make everything pleasant and profitable
for our patrons. In fact, every department.
in connection with the fair will receive the
personal attention of the Board and every
| thing possible done to make The annual
meeting of the Twenty-sixth District one
Of the best and most enjoyable OF the
State.
In conclusion, allow me, on behalf of the
management to return grateful thanks to
! the people and press of Sacramento for the
kind interest they have manifested in the
success and welfare of our District Fair,
and in return promise during our fair to
| extend to them every attention and cour-
tesy the occasion will admit of.
