Athletic Clnb of San Francisco, who has
had charge Of the exhibitions given nightly
in the Play-ground-and who, by the way,
has proved most efficient manager-was
surprised by the presentation, from the
attaches of the place and q few other
friends, of a chaste but costly gold watch
charm, in the shape of a locket with
diamond in the center. He was presented,
at the same time, by Mr.. Lubin, with $50
in gold, in recognition of his valuable
services during the fair. Mr.. Geogan is
justly proud of these tokens of friendship.
The receipts yesterday were So, 526 Is, as
against 81, ,609 25 for. the corresponding day
last year. The excess thus far this wear is
something over s. 000
The nimble-fingered gentry continue to
get in their work. Every day more or less
persons have their pockets relieved of
| watches, purses or other valuables.
What swarm of little ones there will be
at the playground to-day, the last of the
fair
In the art gallery at the Pavilion there
are two water color paintings that attract
much attention. They are by Professor
lvey, of Los Angeles, and entitled Cascade
in the Woods" and Rocky Coast They
are pictures of more than ordinary merit.
Several additions of fresh fruits were
made yesterday to the Nevada exhibit,
greatly improving its appearance, ]. R.
| N1ckerson, who has charge of the exhibit,
keeps it looking fresh and attractive
Mr.. Bush announces that many of the
pictures in the art gallery at the Pavilion
! are for sale.
/ In making brief mention of exhibits that
of John McF. Pearson, of Placeryille, was
omitted. He shows samples of orange
cider, new and pleasant temperance bev-
erage.
One of the brightest exhibits in the Pa
vilion is the lamp exhibit of William
Brown of 1921 Market street, San Fran
cisco, who is the Pacific Coast agent for
| Messrs. Edward Miller & Co. of Meriden,
! Conn, who are the sole manufacturers of
| the well-known Rochester lamps. He has
received the first premium for the best
lamps, also for the best display, both of
which were merited. There are many i'm
itations, but after all there IS but one
Rochester" This lamp will not ex-
plode. 1t will not sweat Its oil upon the
body or any exterior part of the lamp, be-
cause all the oil drawn up for burning is
consumed in the combustion. 1t never
needs trimming as the crust knocks off and
leaves the wick trimmed. If any part
gives out it can be replaced at small cost.
Finally, 1t gives white light of sixty. five
candle power-actual test-which is equal
to three six. foot gas burners As a post
script, let US add powerful testimony in
the recital of the fact that on all the finest
parlor Standard lamps the Rochester"
burner only is used.
| The question of supplying water econom-
ically and in sufficient quantity for irriga-
ton and other purposes is one of more
than ordinary interest to the people of this
coast. Much has been said on the subject
and lots of money has been expended in
different projects, many of which have
proved worthless. The Introduction of the
Cyclone windmill has solved that question.
and the purpose of this article is to call at
tention to an exhibit made in the Pavilion
by the Pacific Manufacturing Company,
of Santa Clara. The display consists
of Cyclone windmills, shallow and
deep-well pumps. and brass goods.
The well-earned reputation of the Cyclone
has never been questioned. Its superior
claims over all other windmills cannot be
enumerated in detail in a brief notice. 1t
only remains to be said that the Cyclone
stands at the head of the list without a
rival. The same company makes an ex-
hibit in Machinery Hall of a triple-actine
pump, which has a capacity OF 1000 gal
Ions an hour, running slow. The branch
house at 2l1 and 213 street carries large
assortment of well pumps, also galvanized
iron and redwood tanks.
