The Opening Day-En couraging Outlook
for Fine Exhibition.
To-day will witness the opening of the
State Fair, and the officials of the State
Board of Agriculture believe their fondest
anticipations will be fully realized. It is
more than likely, however, that the attend
ance on the first two or three days will be
comparatively light in consequence of the
Admission Day celebration in San Fran
cisco, which has attracted thither not only
several hundred Sacramentans but has
drawn heavily from interior towns. These
festivities, however, will have been con-
cluded by the time the Park attractions be-
gin, when the tide of sight seers will set in
toward this city in earnest.
Good progress is being made toward get
ting the Pavilion exhibits in shape for the
opening night, but of course some exhibit
ors make it point TO never be ready at the
proper time, and this class are, as usual,
behindhand.

The races will begin on Thursday and
there will be daily events from that time
until the close of the fair. The present
outlook justifies all previous prophecies

fore highly interesting.
