ONE DAY MORE.
The Great Citrus Fair Closes
Tonight.
A BIG ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY
Today for San BernardinO-A Good
Pregramme-What Visitors
Say of the Fair.

The Pomona people turned out in
large numbers yesterday to celebrate
their "day" at the citrus fair. About
600 of them came up in special excur-
sions from Pomona and Nor.h Pomona.
The ladies we're sent up from the depot
in long procession of buses, and the
band marched up playing at the head of
a considerable procession. The pavilion
was well filed during the morning, and
in the afternoon there was a crowd of
1000 in attendance, filling the main floor
and both the galleries.
During the afternoon the Pomona
Band occupied the pagoda and gave a
promenade concert. The Pomonaites
are more fortunate than the residents of
the average small city in having band
which plays good music and plays it
extra we'll. At three o'clock the Choral
Union of Pomona, an organization of
about sixty ladies and gentlemen, sang
a couple of selections. They showed
good training and their work was re-
ceived with much applause.
Just before the Choral Union sang,
j. d. Brown, of Pomona, made short
speech about the fair and the exhibit
which his district had sent. He ex
planned that the people of Pomona were
not particularly disappointed at their
failure to get away with the premiums
Theirs was a new orange district, he
said, which had been in bearing only a
short time and could not hope to COM
pete with success against the older aud
more experienced sections of San Ber-
the extraordinary success of the fair, and
expressed in his hearing among fruit
fair should be made the forerunner of q
series of annual citrus exhibits.
In the evening the attendance swelled
TO something little short OF jam. 1t
became difficult to get about, although
the fsor space in the pavilion is consid-
erable. During the day and evening
1900 was taken in at the box-office.
The attendance was probably something
like $500. The total receipts 30 far are
So, 700. The expenses will probably not
much exceed $1,000, and today will IN
doubtediy be the best day Of the fair.
The committee is likely to come out with
tive or three thousand dollars to the
good. The people who had the audacity
to declare couple OF months ago that a
citrus fair could not be made success
in Los Angeles, are now contemplating
these facts with no small interest.
The entertainment in the evening con-
sisted of promenade concert by the
Ahrend orchestra and performance by
the Turn Verein Germania. Mr.. Otto
Vogel also played several selections on
the either. which were we'll received.
The Turn Verein performance was under
the management of Prof. G. III Rohde.
1t consisted of tactics and wand exercise,
exercise on the horizontal bar, and exer
else on the vaulting table. The perform
ance was decided success, many of the
feats being fully up to the standard set
by the professional stage.
The Ahrend orchestra gave the follow.

Today is the last day of the fair and il
