The Exhibitors.
Norton Bush, the well-known artist,
who will superinteud the fine art exhibit
at the State Fair, will come up from San
francisco tomorrow with magnificent
collection of pictures. In addition to
those intended for the Art Gallery
proper, he has also secured some to be
placed with the mining exhibit and
others to grace the historical display.
The liberal policy pursued by the
Board of Directors of the State Agricult-
ural Society toward the artists of the
State, in distributing a large sum of
money among them each year, and the
gold and silver medals awarded in recog
milton of their work, has produced the
gratifying result that each year brings
the latest and best works of their easels
to our annual State Fair. This year will
be no exception to the past in fact, the
display that is promised at the coming
fair will probably contain a larger num-
Der Of choice works by the California
artists than has yet been made. Mr..
Bush has met with great success in col
lectlng the exhibit for this year.
Amadee Joullin, whose work in still
life has made him famous, will send his
large and brilliant picture, 1.-The Balcony
of a Joss-House." This picture has been
painted expressly for the Worlds Fair,
and will be seen for the first time by the
public here.

pearance here with several important

called "Pascola-a Mexican Indian
Dance"
Several others of Mr.. Narjot's pictures
will be seen. 1t is feared that this will be
the last exhibition of this artists work,
as his blindness and severe illness have
left him in such condition that but little
hope is entertained of his recovery.
David Neal, the celebrated American
artist, now in San Francisco has prom
lSed one OF his European pictures, the one

all painted from life. This picture was
shown at last years Minneapolis fair.
Norton Bush, formerly of Sacramento,
will have his Worlds Fair pictures here,
Drifting in Mid-Ocean" and mount
Chichani," in the Andes OF Peru. The

Ernest Peixetto. native of San Fran
cisco, who has spent several years in
Paris studying art, will exhibit here for

picture of '91 entitled Devotion; also

the art center of the world, and all lovers
of the beautiful will have an opportunity
to see the paintings that have won him so
much credit abroad.
