custom on occasions of this kind, the
vast hall was more crowded during the
afternoon than in the evening, as
large numbers of residents from
the outlying districts came in, and re-
turned to their homes in the evening.
The orphans Of the Protestant asylum
visited the fair in body in the morn
ing, and each of the happy youngsters
was presented with a huge navel orange
by the committee in charge of the VIC
torious Redlands exhibit. The Catholic
orphans, who were to have been in at
tendance in the afternoon, failed to ap-
pear, owing to an unfortunate misunder-
standing on the part of the authorities
in charge OF the asylum. They will,
however, be afforded an opportunity of
seeing the wonderful show in the near
future.
The promenade concert by the pop
ular Arend string orchestra was much
enjoyed by the vast crowd during the
afternoon. The programme was as
follows: akt
Waltz-Marien Observation-Disclosures. Eilenberg

Owing to the inability OF Eugene J.
Gregory, of Sacramento, president of
the state board of trade, to attend and
deliver an address, there was no special
programme for last evenings entertain
ment; but the crowd appeared to appre-
ciate the music of the Seventh infantry
band, which rendered the following
selections admirably:

The scheme by which it is proposed to
reproduce the fair on a. grander scale at
Chicago, which was mentioned in yes
terday's HERALD, is not only considered
practicable, but steps were taken
yesterday towards putting it into opera
tion.
1t is now proposed to raise guarantee
fund of $4,000 and committee will in
all probability start out to raise this
sum by subscription from the more en-
terprising citizens Of Los Angeles. 1t
has been suggested to the officers of the
association that the proceeds of the
present fair, which were to have been
devoted to the shipment of the local ex-
hibit at the worlds fair, be used as nu-
cleus for this fund, and the matter is now
under discussion. The plan, as already
suggested, is to invite the cooperation
of about twenty-five localities, each of
whom will be requested to raise its own
guarantee fund, and certain amount of
cash for the necessary expenses to be
incurred, and to take the plans of the
load OF fresh fruit to Chicago. 1t is
proposed, if possible, to hire the expo
sition building or some other immense
building, and reproduce the exhibition
ON an improved scale. Two members of
the present competent management will
probably be asked to take charge OF the
affair, and representatives from each of
the exhibiting localities will be trans
ported to the Lake City. 1t is believed
that the exhibition will not only pay
for itself, but that at popular prices of
admission, a large surplus would result
from the venture, and in any event the
amount of advertising it would give this
section of the country is incalculable.
All the localities that have been spoken
to on the subject have announced them
selves as willing and anxious to Join
forces with the projectors.
No special programme has been ar
ranged for tonight, an address being
out of the question in view of the con-
stant movements of the crowd which
may confidently be expected on Satur-
day evening.
There is great dissatisfaction over the
award of premiums for artistic display.
The first premium was awarded to Red
lands model of Bear valley dam, the
second to San Gabriel mission, the third
to the county court house, the fourth to
Duarte's mosque, and the fifth to Pasa
dena. The Duarte people are justly in
dlgnant at the result, and have entered
the following protest, signed by their
committee, consisting of Ernest Watson,
manager; Kenneth Carter, secretary,
and Thomas Glenny, treasurer:
Having entered in class No. 28 for
the most artistic display of citrus fruits,
we most distinctly protest against the
decisions Of the judges in this class and
the order of their awards, and would
wish to point out that,
Firstly-Drapery and scenery, how
CVCA dlldiSOO, w uOC CO1-
stitute display of citrus fruits and can
only be considered as aids to quantity
of good fruit.
Secondly-Small models skillfully
covered in tangerine oranges have but
little more claim to consideration.
Thirdly-That the Duarte exhibit is
artistically and INTELLECTUALLY correct
in every detail, and contains, as do also
several others in the hall, a larger and
more varied display of citrus fruits than
those which the judges have placed
above US.
It should be remembered that no
blame can be attached to the manage
ment Of the fair, who had nothing to do
with the selection of the second set OF
judges for class %, after the first set re-
signed. They were selected by the ex-
ecutive committee, who appointed the
best men in their judgment who could
