CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIES.
They viii be Fully Represented at the
State Fair.
The Exhibition to Open To-day Prom
ises to be the Finest Ever
Held in the State.

An inspection of the Pavilion and stock
grounds yesterday fully warranted the
statement that the State Fair, which
opens here to-day, viii equal, if it does
not exceed in interest, any yet held in
this State. Every So uare foot of space III
the Pavilion has been engaged, and those
who are always late with their applica-
tIons will this year receive a lesson from
which they may profit hereafter.
The exhibitors are progressing well in
getting their displays in place. and by
this evening the great exposition build
Ing will present brilliant appearance.
Most of the leading Sacramento merch-
ants are preparing splendid exhibits, sew
eral of which viii be features of the exhi-
bition. superintendent LaRue hit upon an
unusually happy idea this year in plan
ming the distribution ofeXhibits. All those
reaching to considerable hight have been
located near the west end of the main
hall, and those confined to the floor are in
front of the main entrance. The effect
is noticeable the moment one enters the
Pavilion.
The carriage manufacturers have, by
this arrangement, been brought well to
the front, instead of the rear, as hereto
fore, and their display of Sacramento
made vehicles will be striking features of
the exhibition. 1t is safe to that no city
in the Union can show better made or
better finished work in the way of fine
vehicles.
Secretary Smith states that never dur
ing his connection with State fairs had
such q quantity of goods been received
for exhibition in any one day as arrived
at the Pavilion yesterday
I'VE are chOck-a-blOck," said he, $50

zIe US to accommodate those yet to come.
Just look at the stuff piled up in the
machinery hail." he continued "No-
body ever before saw such a quantity
and variety there. That large hall will
be completely filled when all this ma
chinery is unpacked and placed in posi-
ton"

the play ground in shape for the various
devices that Will be arranged for the en-
tertainment of the little folks. 1t will be
supplied with all sorts Of games suitable
for both boys and girls, and promises to
be one of the most attractive features of
the fair.
Colusa county will have q grand ex-
hibit, judging from the vast collection of
grains, fruits, minerals, etc, now being
unpacked and placed in position. The
Sacramento Changers are also preparing
1Or magnificent display.
Tulare's mammoth section of a ,Siquoid
gtgdRteG IS III It's place in the main hall
and is already attracting attention from

the interior will be utilized for other dis
