cation at the 1rfeV0caDle mistake tns
people of that locality had made in with
drawing from the fair. A number O
prominent Riversiders were present yes
terday, all of whom expressed their re-
gret at the action of their representative
orchardists.
I, Today is to be devoted to the seaside
| localities, it being San Diego, San Pedro
Santa Monica and Long Beach day,
| The windows OF the Boston store, on
| Spring street. will be decorated accord
ingly.
The Rivera people are the only exhib.
itors who successfully solved the diff
cult problem of hitting upon sign
which would not detract from the beauty
Of their display, and that pendant above
[, the eagle was universally commented
upon.
The executive committee of the fair
association, Messrs. Il. w. Jones, G.. M.
Wells and H. Jay Hanchette, are enti-
tied to a great deal more credit than
they have received, for to them is due
the. success of the whole exhibition.
The two first-named gentlemen visited
the Marysville fair in person, and con-
ceived the idea OF enlarging and i'm
proving upon it here, which, with the
able cooperation of their colleague,
they were enabled to do.
1t is not generally known that about a
quarter of million of oranges alone
have been used in the decorations.
This is equal to 1900 boxes, or five car
loads.
The members of the ladies' annex
have started a newspaper booth near
the superintendent's office, where all
the local papers are to be found daily.
The photographs of the various exhibits
are now ready and are offered for sale at
this booth.
One of the most indefatigable workers
is Ernest Watson, of Duarte, who is to
be found at the mosque from early morn
until midnight.
Without disparagement to any of the
other exhibits, we are free to say that
Duarte gives most magnificent combi-
nation of citrus fruit and artistic design
in its graceful and imposing mosque
rising out of an elaborate parterre of
golden spheres. There is symmetry of
form and a glorious display of fruit in
this beautiful exhibit. The Duarteans
deserve unstinted praise.
Near the Cucamonga and Cahuenga
exhibits under the left gallery are some
pdlhtSu WiHIOWs, IliC lldiluiWOi n VI NILES
Desmond, which are really works of art,
and meet with general commendation
for beauty of design and attention to
detail.
Mrs. G. F. Hughes has an individual
exhibit of hand-painted drapes in the
left gallery, near the Santa Barbara dis
play, which attracts a great deal OF
attention.
The Gurney Cab and Express COM
pany is we'll located at the pavilion, it's
Office and telephone being near the
entrance, the result being that visitors
give large patronage to the comfortable
natty little cabs. The charges are very
reasonable, being % cents mile for
each passenger, or by the hour IS cents
for one, or 81 for two or more persons.
For persons who use the sarvice by the
mile, a neat map is furnished, which
shows the exact distance of every locality
in the city from the Office. Passengers
are not at the mercy of the driver, but
can readily figure exactly how much
their ride has cost and the proper
amount to pay. The cabs are kept ex-
traordinarily clean and are as comfort
able to ride in as any heavy musty
"hack." The management is particular
to exact courteous treatment of patrons
by the drivers, who are reliable,s sober
men, we'll qualified ior their positions.
The Gurneys are much patronized be-
cause of the moderation of the charges
and the excellence of the service.
