FaVorably,
Sacramento VIII Be Well Represented
List of the Premiums offered
to Citrus Exhibitors.

T. W. Madeley has Just returned from
auburn, and reports preparations for the
orthern Citrus Fair as progressing sat-
lsfactorily. The Manager is daily receiv-
ing applications for space, and in some
instances from most unexpected quar-
tiers.
Mr.. Madeley has reserved 160 square
feet for the Sacramento County exhibit,
ana will return to Auburn next Friday
to personally superintend the arrange
ment Of her contributions. He will make
collections Of fruit promised by our peo-
pie, on the 9Th and 9TH, and asks that
those who have SO kindly given their or
anges, lemons and other fruits, to have
them ready for him when he calls.
1t is contemplated making the recep-
ton to the Eastern Press Association, on
the 18th, the event of the fair, and Mr..
Madeley particularly requests all resi-
cents of the city and county who may
have flowers in bloom to send him all
they can spare, to arrive at Auburn on
tuesday, january 18th. Sacramento can
make as good floral display as any
county IN the State, and our people
should not be behind other places in their
loyalty to their homes.
Amy contributions of fruit sent to II. w.
Madeley, Auburn, on the Sth, or flowers
on the 18th, will be thankfully received
and displayed to the best advantage and
the donations credited to the proper par
ties.
The fair will open on the 18th and con-
