"at home" nor was Stansiaus Parlor in the
booth adjoining. The latter parlor, as was
explained by an old resident had sent down
considerable of the products of their county
for exhibition and distribution, but the
goods were shipped too late, and are lying
at the freight depot, where they could not
be obtained during the day, much to the
chagrin of the members.
ALAMEDA COUNTY.
The success of union was never better
shown than in the next division, where the
Native Sons and Daughters of the Alameda
parl0rs had their headquarters. Almost
one half side of the gallery was theirs, and
even then they had scarce enough room to
accommodate their friends. The booth was
handsomely decorated with the prevailing
symbols and colOrs. into which were also
introduced couple OF immense Japanese
umbrellas and bric-a- brac. A marquee for re-
freShments, and band stand were located
in the center. The floor was dotted overwith
tete-a-tete tables at which hundreds of guests
were provided with all the deicacies at
command The Alameda City band dis

Ell DORADO PARLoR.
Ell Dorado Parlor was located in a cosy
bit of landscape which flied the northeast
corner of the gallery, directly over the main
entrance to the Pavilion and was pleasant
spot to rest the eye after wandering through
the mass of cOlors with which the booths in
general were decorated. The scene pre-
sented was that of a beautiful garden mean
dered by serpentine walks where guests
were escorted by the military looking gen.
tlemen of the drill corps as well as the civil
ian members of tie parlor. Banks of moss
outlined the sanded fo0t-paths and held in
close embrace the masses OF sweet-scented
and vari-colored flowers of which the beds
were formed. Around the boundaries were
artistic arrangements OF broad palm leaves
and overhead was thick veil of smilax in
which the name of the parlor worked in
flowers stood out conspicu0usly. On either
side OF the entrance TO the pretty arbor was
an elegant flower piece, one representing
the parlor's banner to the smallest
detail. and the other stand of
colors, swords, ETC., to represent the
drill corps. Back of these were three hand
some flower-beds, from each of which arose
towering tree-ferns, palms and chrysanthe-
NUNS in full bloom, the first of the season.
On entering the garden one had to follow
the Sanded walk until the refres hment-room
was reached, where the Inequalities of the
parlOr were dispensed most literally The
committee in charge here consisted of:
