At San Diego.

Progress of the worlds Fair.
Preparation.

E. W. Maslin, secretary of the state
board of trade, writes Secretary willard
of the chamber of commerce, that the
free exhibit of California products at
San Francisco is now in progress of re-
moval to the Croker building, opposite
the Palace hotel.
The room heretofore occupied by the
exhibit is too small to accommodate the
products offered, and many Angelefios
visiting San Francisco have complained
that our county was but meanly repre-
sented. The new building affords abun-
dance of room, and the officers of the
chamber propose to make an exhibit of
which any Southern Californian may be
proud. The county board of supervisors
pay the rent, and the chamber of COM
merce will provide the materials of the
exhibit. S
THE LOCAL EXHIBIT.

sent out on q collecting tour yesterday
in the neighborhood of Vernon, and re-

lett pears, lems as, and fall pippin ap-
Piles from the ranch of FL. r. Smith La

THE SAN DIEGO CENTENNIAL.
All the California worlds fair associa-
tions have united with the San Diego
association, and have taken in hand the
matter of properly celebrating the CEN
tennial anniversary of the arrival
of Cabrillo's feet into the harbor
of San Diego, which will occur
on the 27th instant. A strong effort
is being made for q demonstration
which will surpass any event of the
kind which has yet occurred on the
Pacific coast. Admiral Gherardi, of the
United States navy, is to come to San
Francisco about the middle OF Septem-
ber to take the five line-of-battle ships
of the Pacific squadron to Hampton
roads, for q naval demonstration at that
point next year. The California worlds
fair associations are working together in
the hope the admiraps departure for
this coast may be hastened sufficiently
to bring him to San Diego with the Pa
cific squadron on the occasion of the
centennial celebration. In any event.
it is now understood that the band at
tached to Admiral Browns flagship, the
San Francisco, will furnish music for
the celebration. Among the relics to
be exhibited is the first cannon ever
fred in California, that antique being
now in possession of Sonora Coronel.
