Adjoining the Palermo garden are ahout
| twenty y-eight feet of terraced shelves, upon
| which are miscellaneous exhibits from

| among these ere contributions from Wysn
| dotte.and Pentz Dr. and Mrs Mansfield,

FLUME MINING.
| Next 20 these tiers of miscellaneous ex-
| hibits is miniature fiume mining scene
representing the old Golden Gate Flume
mine on the Feather river, near Oroville
| This mine was nearly completed when the
recent freshe,s caught il and they had to
| pull up stakes for the winter" az an old
miner put it. Two dams were built and a
| hune big enough to carry the whole river
| clear TO the place where it was proposed to
mine in the river-bed. The miniature por-
! trays the scene in most realistic manner
| with itu running water, dams and sluices
| 1t is the work of Mr.. Peterson, q citizen of
| 0roville.
After leaving the mine the visitor finds
| himself at the front door again, having
made complete circuit of the Pavilion.
But he has not yet seen all of the fair.
| In passing up and down the outer avenues
he wes absorbed in what lined the Pavilion
| walls, and forgot to examine the lines oil
exhibits on either side of the central av-
| enue, SO he starts around again on his
| second tour.
| These central lines of booths and open
exhibits are composed chiefly of miscella-
| neouS displays, no particular county being
| officially represented.
The first of these is an imitation Eiffel
! tower of oranges, twelve feet in hight
which presents very pretty appearance
| 1t is the contribution of J. Wheeler Of Oro-
VILE
The next display is most worthy one
| inasmuch as il is the exhibit of one man
and not a county. NJ. V. Roe is the name
of the exhibitor and the products he shows
were all grown at Nimshew, in Butte
county, at an elevation of $500 feet, with
| out irrigation. He has his exhibits ar
|
and in the center stands four-sided glass
case, in which are to be seen peanuts, figs,
pruneS and other like products-all grown
at the same place. At the base of this
case are pyramids of oranges, twenty vari
! eties of apples, twenty varieties of pears
and many varieties of vegetables. A rail
ing of wheat and oat sheaves surrounds
the stand, and the top is plumed with
| pampas grass snd palms.
| Adjoining this is the mineral cabinet of
| w. E Duncan of Forbestown and l.. L
| Anderson of Oroville. 1t contains some
elegant specimens of quartz gold, silver,
| lead, copper, crystals, petrifaciions and
ant eaten wood, besides u collection Of H.
| dian specimens, such as flint, arrow heads,
earrings, bows, spears, etc.
Jas. g. Gray. of 0royille, shows a pyrs-
mid five feet square of miscellaneous fruits
. citrus and deciduous.
Adam Reckart, of Oroville, has provided
| q novel stand for his display of citrus fruits.
| He is the inventor of hydraulic motor-a
sort OF handcar, which can be made to run
up or down over flume by means of
| paddle wheels underneath the car, which
are operated by hand.
In the center of the Pavilion is the band
stand, elaborately decorated and festoOned.
just beyond this is an exhibit of pianos,
| by ]. f. Cooper, of Sacramento, and upon
| these will be rendered selections each even
| ing by Mr.. and Mrs. John @. Walling, of
! Sacramento.
CHICO REPRESENTED.
Adjoining the piano exhibit is Chico's
| display. 1t is worthy exhibition, consid-
| ering the short time in which the mana
gers had TO get ready. The display is
under the direction of ". J. CostaT, OF the
| firm of Campert e. Cosar OF Chico. l.
consists of a large square stand literally
loaded down with oranges, lemons, mute
and figs, surmGunted by large octagoual
case upon whose sides are shown scenes in |
and around Chico. Surmouniing this is 8
large fye-pointed star, each point contain
ing one of the letters which make up the
word "i hico," the letters being cleverlv
worked in nuts and raisins. a large lib |
erty bell made of wire netting and filed
with oranges is suspended over ths whole !
a few more miscellaneous displays fol |
low the Chico show, thus completing the |
central avenues.
OTHER FEATURES.
Between the central line and south-wail |
line OF exhibits runs a miniature steam |
engine, and three fruit cars loa3ed with !
oranges. This is the same locomotive |
which was exhibited at the recent State |
Fair at Sacramento, and is the property of |
steams down en- so foot track, and striki1g |
bumper at the end, automatically tt. |
verses, whistles and starts back on the re- |
turn trip.
On each side of the main entrance inside !
the Pavilion are booths-one of which is |
used as an office for the Secretary, Superin- |
tendent and other officers, and the other for |
a reception room. Adjoining the latter is |
d comfortable little nook for the reporters !
to drop into and scratch line or TWO.
Near the Office IS the exhibit Of w. w |
Merithew, of Mesilla valley. It consists of |
6 general variety of fruits, vegetables and |
nuts, and attracts much favorable com |
nent.
Messrs. Norton & Ekmau, formerly of |
Sacramento but now OF OToville, show |
some excellent specimens OF ores and petri- |
fed woods.
J. G. Curtis, Of Pentz, also exhibits some
excellent variegsted marble: quarried athis |
place.
J. H. Leggett shows some figs which are !
the wonder Of all who behold them.
Albert Cium's little exhibit of boxed !
seedlings and other oranges are attractive, |
too.
word should be said for the committee |
which had charge of the decorations. The |
tasty and artistic manner in which the roof !
and arches of the Pavilion were covered |
with palms, streamers, japanese parasolG, |
etc, go great way toward giving the place |
the brilliant appearance il hes, and that |
these gentlemen have carried out their part |
of the programme with success is evident |
to all who are fortunate enough to attend |
the fair.
