ONE DAY MORE.
THE 36TH ANNUAL STATE FAIR TO
CONCLUDE TO-DAY.
Ladies' Tournament = Homing Pigeon
Contest-Fine Racing-The Pa
vilion Last Evening.

To-day will be the last one of the present
State Fair, and interest therein is being
maintained up to the last. Yesterday was
another great day, the park being crowded
from early in the forenoon till the shades
of evening fell upon the track. The ladies'
riding tournament was the feature OF the
forenoon, and the afternoon was taken up
with splendid racing programme. The
day was further enlivened by auction sales
of fine cattle, homing pigeon race, etc.
The Pavilion received its full share of
attention during the day, and in the
evening was the scene of another brilliant
display of California productions, includ-
ing thousands of native sons and daugh-
ters. The committee appointed to Judge
the various exhibits and award p emiums
were hard at work all day, and most of
them have completed their labors. There
are consequently, few pleased and many
disappointed exhibitors.

Hghtful palace of pleasure. The special
feature was the dancing of Scottish reels

and four boys, all beautifully and appro
priately dressed in the Highland style
Their dancing was seemingly perfect, anC
adult professionals could not have been
more graceful than they. The names O
the little dancers are: Alexander and An

Wallace Renwick
After this Mr.. Hart gave one of his exhi
