On entering the hall, which is artis
tically draped with bunting in alternate
pink, green and orange strips, ropes and
garlands OF cypress, and blue and orange
rosettes, the first thing that attracts
the eye is the Duarte exhibit, q
huge orange covered Turkish mosque,
designed by Mr.. Ernest Watson from a
photograph of a tomb OF Turkish cal
iph at Cairo, and built according to the
scale OF dimensions of the original. It
is strikingly beautiful design, excel
lently carried out. 1t is surrounded at
its base by number of individual ex-
hibits go arranged as to secure to local
ity and individual alike a marvellous
scenic effect.
Adjoining it on the left is the Onta rio
exhibit, life-size traction car covered
and decorated with fruit, with a plat
form behind on which are two horses,
the design being modelled from the cars
now in use at that place. This is unde-
nlably one OF the most unique designs
on exhibition, and deserves The admira-
tion which was profusely showered upon
it. Alongside is huge table literally
groaning with weight of the choicest
oranges, stacked up in pyramidical
form. One of the features OF this ex-
hibit is display of prize lemons from
r. M. Hatch's world-renowned orchard
at Monte Vista. A cluster of twelve
green lemons on single branch, which
is enframed on a dark brown back
ground, attracted considerable atten-
ton.
Next to this is the exhibit of r. H.
Backus, of Riverside, consisting of pyr-
amids and other designs of the choicest
oranges, raisins and other fruits, W hich
is one of the most attractive individual
exhibits on the floor.
On the same side of the hall is the
Redlands exhibit, realistic model of
the great Bear Valley dam, built OF
rocks and embellished with oranges,
which is enframed in a beautifully fin
ished arch, eighteen feet high and forty
three feet wide. The whole is decorated
with oranges on black background and
lighted with incandescent lamps, so
arranged as to spell out the word Red
lands" The choicest oranges and indi-
vidual exhibits are displayed on black
ground in conical frames reaching from
floor to ceiling. In connection with the
exhibit is magnificently fitted up re-
ception room in black and gold, the
walls and ceilings being beaded with
oranges, the whole effect being bewil-
deringly wonderful. j.. Wallace F.
Diss, II. III. Sinclair and E. p. Judson
are the committee in charge OF the ex-
hibit.
Opposite the entrance to this fairy-like
bower is the Pasadena exhibit, towering
up almost to the lofty ceiling, surmount-
ed with crown and banners, indicating
that it represents the ''crown OF the val
ley" 1t covers floor space fourteen feet
in diameter at its base, and is octagonal
in shape for the first two sections, after
which it runs up in sugar Loaf shape
to the dizzy height of forty feet. In its
construction 100 boxes of fruit were
used. Around the base, in a space ex-
tending nine feet ouswards on its eight
sides, are displayed the exhibits of
twenty individual exhibitors in most
attractive manner, which are decorated
with floral designs, pampas plumes, ivy
and smilax.
One OF the most remarkable features
OF the fair, both for its size and the
beauty of its design, is the Los Angeles
county arch, a vast structure over the
stage, sixty feet high and seventy-two
feet wide. 1t is composed of oranges,
alternated with wrappers OF red and
blue, so as to give the effect of tri-col-
ored squares. In the center of the arch
are the words State Citrus Fair, in gilt
letters upon dark green background.
and underneath are suspended the words
Los Angeles County, in silver letters. A
five-pointed star of incandescent lamps
illuminates this stupendous piece of
work.
On the left-hand side of the stage is
the Pomona exhibit, a most tempting
display of the finest picked fruit it is
possible to conceive of. The orange
exhibits are arranged upon a ground
work of lemons, so that each different
variety forms letter OF the word "Po-
MONA" pyramid of huge navels being
piled up in the center. Garlands of
evergreen and cypress decorate the
table and wall.
The model of the new county court
house commands one of the most ad-
vantageous positions in the fair, as it
deserves, being placed in the center of
the stage, unobstructed by anything.
1t is the work of the members of the
ladies' annex, who have been indefati-
gable in their efforts upon this their
labor of love for the good of the cause.
On the right-hand side of the stage is
the Vernon exhibit, a model of the
orange industry, consisting of packing
house, miniature orchard and freight
car. This is one of the most cleverly
executed designs in the fair, and at
tracted universal admiration.
Commencing at the northeast corner
of the building the first exhibit met
with is that of Rivera, which occupies
large space on the main floor, with
booth back under the gallery for the
dissemination of literature and infor-
nation. The large square space on the
main floor is laid out in geometrical de-
signs Of oranges and lemons with pa
CODA rising from the center composed
partly of citrus fruits and partly OF
glass cases of walnuts, entered by the
Los Nietos association. The display is
under the charge of Mr.. G. d. Bunch,
who has an exhibit of fine white Adri-
attic figs and walnuts of his own entered.
Mr.. Bunch is about the only packer OF
figs south of Fresno, and his sample
boxes attract great deal of attention.
Mr.. English has an exhibit of eight
boxes of seedlings and sample box OF
