Visitors at the Pavilion should not fail
to inspect NJ Manassas display OF
acorn" stoves and ranges. They are
one of the substantial and attractive ex-
hibits.
Gentlemen who are looking for the
latest designs in headwear will find what
they desire by calling at the store OF
Charles j. Fredericks Il Co., $40 j street.
Strangers visiting. Sacramento, pleas
ure-seeking and sightseeing, should
make it point to include the Red House
in their rounds, to look through their
store. There is not counter spot that is
not made specially interesting for you in
some way. One could go every day for
weeks and find something new to see
each visit. Fronting forty feet on j
street it extends through to Oak avenue,
1921 feet, two floors. Strangers scarcely
realize the amount and variety of mer-
chandise gathered together there. Onthe
main floor is the dry and fancy goods,
millinery, ladies' wraps, jewelry and sill
Verware, domestics, boots and shoes,
clothing, furnishing goods, etc. Two
broad and easy flights OF stairs lead down
to the first floor, equally light, bright and
ventilated with the one above. Here are
the trunks and bags, carpets and mat
tlngs, wall paper, tin, Japan and glass
ware, the toys and notions, blankets, cur
tains, reserve stock, ETC., and last, but by
no means least, the country order de-
partment (20XlC0), which, by the way, If
not originated by Mr.. Gilman, certainly
credits him with being a pioneer Of the
i system, being the first on the coastt 10 pub
llsh and distribute free catalogue OF
prices. lie SoWed we'll and Is now reap
ing the harvest, having one OF the largest
mail order businesses on this coast.
Purchasers looking for school books or
other school materials in the stationery
line will do well to call on w. +. PurneIl
at 600 j street. where their many wants
in this line can be satisfied. Mr.. Purnell
carries most complete line Of plain and
fancy stationery.
Farmers, and particularly those inter
ested in irrigation, should examine the
Aermotor windmill, which is exhibited
at the Pavilion by w. II. LUelling, who
is the local agent of the Aermotor Com
pany in this city.
A. Aiken, of the Pioneer Marble and
| Granite Works, in this city, has a most
creditable exhibit in the Pavilion. 1t is
situated in the west wing Of the building
and will attract its snare of attention.
The granite monuments in this display,
WllllG IlCI SS. are very neat, SHOW eN-
cellence OF finish and q superior quality
of stone. The carving all indicates the
hand of q master workman.
The delicious tafiies offered for sale by
J. A. Moynihan at the Pavilion are home
made goods from the factory Of Mr..
Moynihan, ut 4IS j street.
Prominent among the carriage exhibits
at the Pavilion is that Of a. Meister, the
well-known manufactures Of this city.
AS is known to all who are acquainted
with the work turned out by this gen
tleman, too much can not be said in its
. favor. The display this year. as that
made by Mr. Meister at former State
Fairs, shows in every particular the care
with which his carriages are constructed.
A. IL the vehicles manufactured by Mr..
; Meister are made of the best of material
and by first-class workmen, who thor
oughly understand their business, and to
, this fact can be attributed the demand
that continually exists for carriages OF
Mr.. MeisteT's make. This display calls
for most careful inspection.
Beyond doubt one of the most at
tractive and expensive exhibits at the
Pavilion this year is that of Ingram &
Bird, furniture and carpet dealers of this
city. AS in former years, this enterpris-
ing firm has made q special effort to ado
new features to the Pavilion exhibition
during the State Fair, and deserves credi
: for the good taste and energy exhibited
Their exhibit this year is situated in the
west wing of the building and is in de.
sigma seyen-room cottage, with Mansard
+ top finish and bay-window front. This
cottage frame is covered with the lates
designs in carpeting and here and there
: adorned, by way of ornamentation, will
3 fine rugs. The inside is finished com
plete with hall, library, sitting-room
parlor, bedroom, dining-room and office
| furniture of unique designs, thus making

in and without. One point that viewers
} of this display should bear in mind is
, that it is composed entirely of articles on
sale at the firms store at 6l7 X street
and nothing has been specially purchased
to make up the exhibit. The design
which is original with the firm, is sup
posed to show how house-furnishers may
fix up house with articles from theiI
own stock. These gentlemen, in making
up this exhibit, have not confined them
selves to the finest goods, but have inter
mingled with the finest some of the
) cheapest grades. There are many special
features in this exhibit which are most
noteworthy and will be mentioned before
the close Of the fair.
The lady visitors at the Pavilion last
!, evening paid marked attention to the
J elegant display of fancy work exhibited
by the Singer Manufacturing Company

the opportunities afforded to show the
many new and excellent features of their
machines. They have experienced lady
operators with the exhibit who show the
visitor how fancy work is executed, thus
making the exhibition not only place OF
attraction but also of instruction.
E. III. Hoppe, agent of the Pacific Coast
Livestock Owners Mutual Protective
Association, Is representing the interests
of his company at the fair. The livestock
men, who are quite plentiful in Sacra-
mento at present, will find no better time
to unite with this association, the object
of which is sufficient to enlist the hearty
support of all those interested in livestock.
Among the new attractions at the Pa
yilion this year is the Peerless Automatic
Gas Machine, which is exhibited by Bad
J lam Bros. of San Francisco in the main
hall This is something entirely new,
, and will be viewed by many out oi
curiosity if not through a desire to in
vest. This apparently simple machine
which has been placed in the exhibition
was in full operation last evening and
fully demonstrated what is claimed for il
by its patentee, Z. b. Badlam. IL pro-
duced perfectly uniform and smok eless
light through open, unadjusted burners.
The gas for this machine is automatically
supplied from gasoline tank buried in
the ground outside of the Pavilion. This
gas machine is specially adapted to oper-
ating gas or gasoline engines, cooking
stoves and gas heaters, as well as for
illuminating purposes. The special
claims for the machines are their cheap
! ness, simplicity and the safety and ease
with which they can be operated. Every
visitor at the Pavilion should take time
to carefully watch the operations of this
machine, which is finding such ready
