the canneries do not give enl-
ployment all the year through to
their employees, there are several
months that these large forces are en-
ployed, thus helping out the needs of
many laboring people. The Sacramento
Packing Company's increase in facilities
the past year and that of all the canneries
IN this section speaks well for the growing
fruit interests of this section of the State,
as 1t was required in order to handle the
fruit. This company have this year made
special effort to make an extra fine
pack and have had the aid of nature. The
frulJ crop has been so immense that the
market has been overrun and the buyers
for the cannery have had a chance
TO take their pick rather than take all
that come in order 70 fill their orders.
This has given them good fruit and, to-
gether with the special effort to supply
an article that would bring a high price
IN outside markets. has made the pack
exceptionally fine, A view of the fruit
which is exhibited in glass by this COM
pany will show the quality of what they
have handled. 1t is all alike. They
have only packed the best. When there
is an abundant fruit crop there is little,
II any, poor fruit packed. There is also
another reason for this. The Sacramento
Packing Company has many competitors,
and its managers are alive to the fact that
good goods will hold the excellent trade
they have already acquired and increase
the future demand for their goods The
full amount OF the pack of this company
for the year 1891 cannot at present be
given, but it is understood that it will be
IulIy double that Of last year. This in
crease IN business speaks well for the
company. 1t shows that they have placed

demand for itself. Many ask what kinds
of fruit are handled by this company
1t is easily answered-au kinds of
canned goods produced in this
State. They also put up many
thousand cases Of tomatoes, all of which
find ready Eastern and foreign marker.
All visitors at the Pavilion should take
the time to visit this exhibit OF the Sacra-
mento Packing Company, and view pro-
ducts of this industry, which, while
building up itself, is doing so much for
California generally.
y. Meister, the Well-knoWn carriage
and wagon manufacturer, makes a very
prominent exhibit, and one that attracts
universal attention.
One Of the outside attractions is that of
the petrlllCd man and woman, on eXhibi-
ton at 5l5 K street. Competent geolo-
gists have pronounced them to be the
most wonderful freaks OF human nature
yet discovered in the scientific world The
man is perfect petrification, being six
feet five inches high, and weighing AS
pounds. 1t was discovered on Cantua
Greek, III Fresno County, Decemb Der 12
1890. Ladies may view this wonderful
freak Of nature with perfect propriety at
any hour.
In the north wing of the Pavilion will
be seen by the visitors the wonderful and
attractive exhibit OF Yolo County, which
will furnish food for excellent study. 1t
is IN charge Of =. A. Jackson and i. G.
Stone, VINO invite everyone to view their
display and see how productive their
county has become in the way of fruit
and farm products. As Mr.. Jackson
says, I'VE have q regular farmers ex-
hibit,f and it is one of which every resi-
dent of olo County may well be proud.
Ihis exhibit is not one that is sent to the
State Fair by the county proper, but
the Eolo County Board of Trade.
This board consists of the en-
torprising farmers of that county
who have united in an effort to further
the interest Of the county by placing be-
fore the public evidences Of the produc-
tiveness Of their lands. In this effort
they are meeting with success, and what
Is to hinder them, for, as Will be seen by
all who view their display, they have as
fertile and productive land as is to be
found Ill California. Their fruit, particu-
iarly, gives evidence of this fact. The
grapes placed OH exhibition are something
une. and equal the finest selection ever
made from any county in the State.
ihcn comes their apples, pears, peaches,
pIGins, in numerous varieties, all showing
marks OF most productive soil and
good culture. The vegetables that are
presented in this exhibit are something
mammoth IN size, and they not only have
large squashes but also large potatoes.
and in fact all the articles in this line
show fine growth. The wheat exhibits
from Yolo County do honor to California
The varieties in this line are shown in an
attractive manner in glass-jars. The
corn presented not only shows a we'll
developed ear. but the stalk also plainly
shows the fact that it was grown on most
fertile soil. Prominent in this display is
that OF dried fruit, which was said to be
superior i'll quality. The raisins, dried
plums, peaches, apricots, and in fact
all tho dried goods show not only that
the fruit was superior, but also that it had
been handled by experienced hands who
understood the drying of fruits The
preserves. jellies and fruit in glass. of
which there is an abundance in this ex-
hlbIt, is put up in manner that is at
tractive, and at once calls forth adnira-
ton. This exhibit is Just what is claimed
for it, Farmers Exhibit" but ali i
lacks to make IL one of the finest displays
IN the building are few DECORATIONS.
The goods are there in plain view
Of all, and well arranged, but the
fancy trimmings have been omitted.
Visitors at the Pavilion are sure
to view this display, the fruit of which
will prove attraction enough to invite
the attention of all. The gentlemen in
charge will be pleased to furnish any in
formation that may be desired.
While not an exhibitor at the fair,
Miss Ema Sweeney, the well-known
milliner at 527 J street. is pleasing the
ladies with the novelties represented in
her emporium.
