Fair Notes.

The attendance at the citrus fair yes
terday was gratifyingly large. In fact,
the attendance record was broken.
There was crowd all day and at night
the scene presented very animated ap-
pearance. Alta rough estimate, there
must have been six or seven thousand
visitors. The Porterville exhibit from
Tulare county ia first-class and is de-
serving of more than passing mention.
The exhibitors, Messrs. A. Mules, W. J.
Prettyman, Pogue & Son and Lewis
Creik ranch have shown commendable
enterprise in sending down such a
worthy display. The st. Michaels grown
at Portervlle were firstclass and An
gelef1os we're pleased when it was an
nounced that that place had secured
first premium for seedlings. The Port
erville exhibit is in charge of Messrs.
Norris and Thompson. This fact
emphasizes the fact that whatever the
northern citrus belt may be, the central
citrus belt is to be factor of consider
able moment in the development of the
citrus culture possibilities of Southern
California.
The fair will be open this afternoon
between the hours Of and 6. Monday
is San Bernardino county's day, and
the Riversiders will come down with
the celebrated knights of Pythias band,
which will play at all the leading no.

ably be the first time on record that
