The arrangements for the citrus fair
are progressing satisfactorily, and Assist
ant superintendent Willard and Wig
gins report that the orange growers all
over the district are preparing TO aston-
ish the thousands Of visitors with the
excellence of their displays. A county
meeting was held ut San Bernardino on
Friday, and an organization effected and
committees appointed. These are going
to work actively and state that San Ber-
nardino county intends not only to win
the first premium for the best exhibit,
but also the first premium for the most
artistic display. i is.5 Ken s. X
Invitations are being sent out to all
the important organizations in the state
and many of them have already signified
their intention of attending, some Of
them in body. The indications are
that most Of the legislature will come
down from Sacramento on some one OF
the days.
The competition for premiums for
artistic display promises to be quite ex-
citing. Some OF the localities are offer
ing prizes for the best design, and are
determined to attract attention to their
sections of the country that way.
The competition for the $25 prize for
the beet design for decorating the pa
vilion, which must be in on Wednesday,
is giving the artistically inclined some
thing to think about, and it will be the
fault of the designers if the pavilion does
not present a more attractive general
appearance than it has ever done.
A meeting OF the orange growers will
be held at Pomona on Tuesday, to take
action in relation to the fair, and it is
expected that Pomona will give River
side hard fight for the first premium.
Rivera is also earnestly in the field, and
with the $1,000 Orange county is going
to spend on her exhibit, che will come
very near carrying off the first county
premium.
For the citrus fair Pasadena promises
first class display this season. The
fruit will be superior to that of last year,
and the exhibit much larger.
Duarte has q live committee at work
on her display, and will send in her de-
mand for space the middle Of this week.
They have full confidence in carrying off
more than one prize this time.
Monrovia has her exhibit in the hands
of ". H. Cook and j.. w. Harvey, who
say they will astonish the people with
their products.
San Gabriel sends word she will be on
hand with the old mission built of or
anges.
Glendora, Covina and Azusa are join
ing hands and propose making an upper
San Gabriel valley exhibit. Committees
are doing good work in each district.
