The Fair Has Been a Very Graft
flying Success.
LAST STOCK PARADE TO-DAY.
Great Free fOr-Al Trotting Race to
Take Place This Afternoon.

To-day will witness the close OF one of
the most interesting exhibitions ever
given under the auspices of the State
Board of Agriculture, and its success has
been due largely to the exertions of few
philosophical citizens in various parts
of the State. who had interested them
selves in making such rare and valua-
BILE collection of historical relics and data
as that placed on exhibition at the Pa
Yilion. This collection, the county ex-
hibits and the mining display, have at
tracted hundreds of visitors to the city
other than those who came to attend the
races, the livestock displays, and the
other customary features of State fairs.
at the Pavilion tonight some of the
interesting historical tableaux will be re-
peated, including "California's Offering
to Columbia" and the "Seal of State"
These two are undoubtedly the most
beautiful of the series. Some sixteen
ladies and little girls appear in them.
The attendance last night was fully as
great as on the preceding evening, and
the hearts of exhibitors were gladdened
by the attention manifested in their ex-
hibits. The First Artillery Band and it's

Yesterday the State Board Of Agricult-
ure authorized catalogue, with annota-
tions, TO be made OF the historical ex-
hibits. The time is very short, indeed,
in which to gather the data, but the work
was at once entered upon by Professor
Quinn of Los Angeles, ex-President OF
the Southern California Historical So
ciety. He is assisted by Mrs. Walters OF
the Santa Clara section. Messrs. Rising,
Raymond, Bradford, De La Guerra,
Father O'keefe, Mrs. Coronel, Mr.. Wal
tiers, and others have volunteered to aid
in the work by listing their exhibits.
With this kindly assistance it is hoped to
complete the work to-day. Professor
Quinn will then take time to edit and ar
range the matter and be able to submit it
TO the State Board of Agriculture in the
course of a month, probably. He will
also have every aid to-day that can be
given him by Chairman Lubin and
Superintendent Pond in getting the nee
essary data into his note book.
