THE STATE FAIR.
SOME PROMINENT FEATURES OF THE
PAVILION EXHIBITS.
A State Show That Cannot Fail to Inter-
est All yisitors-The Races
To-Morrow.

There was large attendance at the Pa
vilion last evening and the exhibits showed up
to excellent advantage. Some of them are not
yet completed, but the finishing touches will all
be put on to-day, and by tonight the exhibition
will be complete.
Looking down from the gallery upon the main
aoor of the exposition building the eye takes in
scene of real beauty The various exhibits
have been arranged with much taste and with
out regard to expense and the result is most
gratifying to all classes of visitors as intrinsic
merit has Teen in no degree subordinated to
mere effect 1t cannot be said of any indi-
vidual display that sit is pretty, but lacks
merit"
The first noticeable exhibit on entering the
hall is that made by Felter & Son, chiefly of
the product OF the Crabb vineyard at Oakyille,
Napa county.
A little farther on is the imposing display
made by Mohr & Yoerk of this city of canned
meats, lard, etc.
structure, in which the Buffalo Brewing Com
pany win display the products of its great ice
and beer factory.
On either side are the elegant exhibits made
by the Joseph Thieben Crockery Company and
the Sacramento Glass and Crockery Company
both of which are superb.
L. E. Mcmahon & SON are arranping an at
traetive display of bottled water from the Bart
lett Mineral Springs of Lake county.
The visitor is next confronted by the large
and elegant displsys made by Schaw, Iugram,
Batcher Co. and the Huntington Hopkins
Company, respectively. These are among the
larger hardware companies of the State.
Ingram 4 Birds tower of carpets, rugs, tapes
try and furniture comes next and beyond this
q large space is devoted to fine carriages and
other vehicles shown by A. Meister of this city
the Indianapolis Wagon Company. the Steude-
baker Company and the Columbus Buggy Com
pany.
In the same hall the firms of L. L. Lewis & Co
and Holbrook Merrill q stetson have attractive
displays ofstoves, ranges, furnaces, refrigerators
and other articles of that character.
Hopkins & Bro. have fine display of wood
and willow-ware, and Messrs. Crouch d Lyman
of fine gas-fxtures, plumbing, etc.
There are many other meritorious exhibits in
the main hall, but those mentioned above may
be classed among the more noticeable features.
The county exhibits are confined to Sacra-
mento, Cvlusa, Yolo and Humboldt each of
which will make strong bid for the first pre-
MUM. Sacramento's exhibit will far surpass
any heretofore made by this county. although
confined mostly to products of the soil-grains,
fruits, nuts, vegetables, etc. The other local
industries, with one or two notable exceptions,
are either represented by individuals or omitted
altogether. This is an error that should not be
committed in the future for while Sacramento
is chiefly an agricultural county, it is also the
home of varied industries, which should be
have looked after their interests very closely
aud with commendable zeal but among other
classes of producers there has been not only no
concert OF action. but practically no action
at all.
The Colusa county exhibit occupies the same
position 1t did last year-t annex at the juno
lion of Machinery and Agricultural Implement
Halls. 1t embraces all the leading industries
of the county, and attracts much favorable
comment from visitsrs.
The Yolo exhibit is not yet in place, but that
of Humboldt is approaching completion. Like
that made by the same county last year, it pos
sesses features quite different from other coun Y
exhibits, but which interest visitors greatly.
There are specimens of rare woods and lumber;
potatoes that would almost cause an lrishman
to admit their superiority over anything that
his own isle can produce; apples of great size
and favor, besides other fruits. and host of
productions characteristic of that county There
are also many nosaltes, including & stuffed
mammoth gr LII bear and large collection
of Indian weal ons OF warfare, such as war.
clubs, spears. lances, bows arrows, etc.
The gallery aisu contains several large AID
s.. ling exhibits. That OF johI BreGner, at the
t.;t snJ al the build '1g. is one OF the features
81 the exhibition, and sets off the gallery te
great advantage.
In the south gallery Whittier, Fuller & Co.
Lave an exhibit that adds greatly to the beauty
of that portion of the hall.
Some more pictures have been added to the
art exhibit in the north gallery. 1t is expected
that to-day the catalogues will be ready tor dis
t-ibution.
Yesterday Hing q holiday, many exhibits
which were lying at the express and freight
offices could nft be taken out. and as a result
there were not as many new features last night
as there should have been.
