cred with evergreens and the roof is
matched with palms. Miss Birlsall, the
exhibitors charming daughter, assisted
by Mr.. Ambrose, also OF 1i1olia Hights,
planned and constructed this attractive
exhibit
YUBA AND SUFFER- COUNTIES.
Leaving the pagoda, and moving toward
the left wall of the theater, the visitor
encounters 1uba County's exhibit.
This exhibit is in charge of James X.
% Brien, most genial young man, who
raises tons of Seeding oranges in his
groves near Smartsville. Mr.. O'Brien,
together with w. A. O'Brien and w. u.
Vineyard, of the Lone Tree Ranch in Yuba
are the main exhibitors here. Twenty
five hundred seedlings are banked up
solidly against the wall in the shape OF
diamonds, hearts, moons, ETC., the effect
OF which is quite pleasing to behold.
The exhibit is surmounted by an arch in
which IS worked the name 'Smartsyille'
IN oranges. Suffer County's exhibit adj
joins 4uba's, and is III charge Of B. q.
Stabler, l.. 4. Walton ana G. L. Little
john. The exhibit consists Oh carload
Of oranges, dried peaches, prunes. nee
tarines, etc, and is arranged tastefully in
long tiers, against The walls. Mr.. Stabler
furnished 4 great deal of the products
displayed himself. The other contribu-
tors are X. G. kells; Mrs. Van Arsdale,
who shows some unusually fine pre-
served fruits IN liquid; the Suffer County
Horticultural Society, oranges and dried
fruits; the Suffer Canning Company,
canned fruits, and several others. 1t is
an attractive exhibit, but its strong point
is the quality of the product shown.
But the big feature Of Suffers exhibit
is large ''hOrn of plenty sixteen feet
in length, and being built almost entirely
OF oranges, figs and dried fruits-the
colors of which blend nicely, and give a
most pleasing effect.
THEEMALITo on DECK.
Just opposite the Suffer and Yuba ex-
hibits, and occupying the very center OF
the parquet, is one OF the most meriIori-
GUS displays of the fair. 1t is the con-
tribution of the people of ThermalitO,
Butte County, and consists of collection
OF oranges, lemons, olive oil, marmalade
in jars, figs, etc. The display is arranged
attractiVely on ahalf-eliptic-shaped stand
Of shelves, that was built low especially
so that it would not Interfere with the
Kaleidoscope view of the exposition OBJ
| tainable from the foyer. w. A. Rogers
and j. a. Cleveland are in charge, and
are ably assisted by Mrs. Cleveland and
Mrs. A. q. Pierson, all of Thermalito.
There are people who content them
selves with the idea that an orange is an
orange, pure and simple, and that that's
all there is about it. Some of these people
will be surprised when they stop at the
Yhermalito contribution and discover
that over twenty different varieties OF
oranges are to be seen there. Mr.. Rogers
gave your correspondent list of them,
which is as follows: Naveis, Mediterra-
mean Sweets, Malta Bloods, large St.
Michaeis, small st. Michels, Willow Leaf,
Tangerines, Cleopatras, Homasassas,
Magnum, Bonums, Duroys, Old Einas,
Onshou Japanese, Indian River Sweets,
ParSon Browns, MajOrcaS, JaflaS, Egg,
Beach's No. 2 and Beachs No. 5, Wolf
skills Favorites, Wilson'S Bests, and
Missions. Quite a collection
The principal exhibitors in this display
are Q. X. Cleveland, lemons; S. j. Bru-
ton, oranges; w. 4. Rogers, oranges;
Thermalito Olive Oil Association, olive
oil, and Mrs. A. f. Jones, oranges.
Opposite the Thermaito display, and
covering the right-hand wall of the thea
ter, are the exhibits of a. +. Boardman IL
Co. Of this place and w. r. Strong d Co.
of Sacramento. Both of these exhibits
are composed of potted plants and young
fruit trees, and they are greatly sought by
the visitors. Mrs w. b. Lardner Of this
place has an exhibit of preserves Oh this
side OF the pavilion which attracts con-
siderable attention.
VERITABLE GARDEN.
This completes the list of exhibits To-
Gated in the auditorium of the opera
house. The large stage, which is reached
by two broad flights of temporary
stairs, presents beautiful appear
ance. The Decorating Committee
took special pains in this To-
cality and converted it into veritable
garden. The scenery has all been re-
moved so that space almost equal to
that of the auditorium is given for the eX-
L. l., L. Il.
gether here, too, and the general effect is
better. Just at the footlights are two high
and stout Masonic columns-all of or
anges. These were erected by the Deco
rating Committee, and are a part OF
Placer's magnificent exhibit.
Stepping around to the left and beyond
these columns the visitors behold Sacra-
mento County's modest contribution.
The general design OF the exhibit is good,
being in the shape of a four-arched struc-
ture, with the word Sacramento" over
head, worked in oranges. The carrying
out of this design, however. has the APP
pearance of being hurriedly and care
lessly done. There is not the neatness
that is noticeable in the other county dis
plays. The oranges covering the inner
wall of the structure are arranged loosely
and irregularly, being held in place by a
wire netting. Still the display cannot be
called poor. The fruit is there in proper
quantity as well as quality. But il is
hardly likely that Sacramento will be in
it," as the saying goes, when the time for
awarding prizes arrives.
SACRAMENTO EXHIBITORS.
Sacramento's display is quite varied
consisting of oranges, lemons, olives,
nuts, etc. Most OF the oranges shown
were grown right in Sacramento City. in
the many beautiful gardens there. The
