STATE FAIR.
OPENING ADDRESS BY SENATOR CAM
NETTI THIS EVENING.
The Exhibits Now Complete, and Every
thing in Running Order-The
Races to Open To-Day.

At the Pavilion everything is now working
smoothly, and the fair may be said to be ia full
blast All the exhibits have been arranged
and the finishing touches put on, with the ex-
ception of the department devoted to fruits and
some other perishsble articles. The attendance
last evening was very good, considering the
fact that but few of those who attended the cell
ebration in San Francisco had returned. Last
nights trains were crowded, however, and
many extra cars were required to accommo
date those en- route for this city.
Tonight Senator A. Caminetti will deliver
the opening address in the Art Gallery at the
Pavilion. Arrangements have been made to
seat several hundred persons in that wing of
the hall, and the Directors request that visitors
will remain as quiet as possible during the de-
livery Of the address.
In addition to the special features of the Pa
yllion already referred to. the department de-
voted 20 agricultural implements cuts very
important figure in the exhibit. 1t contains all
the latest inventions and Improvements in
labor saving farm implements, prominent
among which are combined harvesters, gang
and other plows, reapers, mowers, thrashing
machines cultivators, windmills wagons-in
fact every thing OF use TO the farmer and agrl-
culturist.

partment are Baker & Hamilton, of this city;
the Benicia Agricultural Works, the Stockton

about 100 more. The display in this depart
ment continues to elicit the warmest express
ions of praise from visitors.
There has been no Art Gallery exhibition at
the State Fair for years without us "iokep or
its sensation" In the latter line the Art Gal
lery this year is no exception. Mrs. Add1e L.
Ballou, of San Francisco, sent up for exhibition
among other paintings, specimen of the nude
in art. 1t is not the purpose to say here where
the artistic line is 10 be drawn between what is
and what is not permissible in the nude in art;
where artistic liberty is without offense, and
where license strips from the claim of the ar
tistic the right to enter the realm of the chaste
Mrs. Ballous Morning represents q young
girl nude, and in the opinion of the Directors
OF the Society, is not of the permissible, and it
has, therefore, been refused place in the gal
lery, by the order of the Directors.

leadership. The programme for this evening
