NOVEL DESIGNS.
Just in front of Sacramento's exhibit,
occupying the left center Of the stage. is
the novel exhibit Of the Correa Brothers
of Newcastle. It consists of q 15-foOt
lighthouse, built entirely of oranges.
From the base for Il distance of about
four feet upward, navel oranges are used
in the construction exclusively. And
such naVels They are the talk of the fair.
The general opinion is that only one
| other exhibitor has navels that will equal
Correa'S, and that is Mr.. Wyre of VIM
tiers, YolO County. There will be a stiff
contest between these two. The light
house attracts great deal of attention
from the hundreds Of strangers who are
attending the fair. 1t is fine piece of
work and was planned by Mr.. Rumage,
one of the popular proprietors of the
Putnam House here. The tower is pro-
vided with an electric light on top, and
to make it look more realistic an imitation
sea has been provided with the aid of mir
rors. Here and there in the sea are imi-
tation rocks constructed OF oranges.
70 the rear of the lighthouse is a min
lature Egyptian pyramid, which, like
most everything else is built of oranges
all seedlings. At the four corners of
the pyramid are stone urns, containing
some of the choicest Of the oranges IN the
exhibit. This display is the contribution
of Owen K. Owens of Penryn, and is in
cluded in the general exhibit of Placer
County.
RAIsINs GALORE.
In the center Of the stage stand the ex-
hibits of l.. II. Carey and William Foster,
both of whom raise their fruit near Lin
coin. The exhibits stand back to back,
and consist simply of long rows of
shelves arranged one above the other in
tiers.
Mr.. Carey's exhibit attracts as much at
tentiOn as any in the exposition. 1t is
composed almost exclusively OF raisins-
and raisins, which, for quality and gem
eral fine appearance, renders them diff
cult TO equal. Mr.. Carey is proud of his
exhibit, and well he should be. He ex-
hibits variety of raisins that astonishes
the visitors. For instance, there may be
seen in his display MuScat raiSins and
seedleSS MuscatS, loose Muscatelles, Lon
don layers, fancy layers, Dahesas, and
Dahesa cartoons. He has sixty boxes Of
the last-named kind on exhibition. Mr..
Carey shows that he is something of a
genius in designing, too. He has on one
OF the shelves miniature miners cabin,
made entirely Of raisins.
MIR. Fosters exhibit resembles some
what that of Mr.. Carey, except that he
shows more dried fruits, Ssuch as figs,
prunes. peaches and apricots and not so
play of Seeding oranges, tastefully ar
ranged in boxes.
YOLO THERE IN STYLE.
Yolo County has two separate exhibits.
either of which would do credit to any
county in the citrus belt. One of these
exhibits may lay claims to being the
most unique and one of the finest in the
exposition. 1t is in charge Of Charles F.
Wyre OF Winters, most affable and
bright gentleman. The exhibit repre-
sents big fruit car, and is labeled
Winters on Wheels" The imitation is
so near correct that many persons have
asked how they got the car into the
| building. The exterior is handsomely
decorated with strings of luscious
oranges and lemons, with palms and
eVergreenS.
But it is when the visitor isteps inside
OF the car that he sees the real display
Here are to be seen in large quantities,
and arranged attractively, dried fruits
until you can't rest. There are to be seen
| Clapp's tavorte (dried) pears, Bartletts,
Royal apricots, Early Golden apricots,
Hungarian prunes, French prunes, Sill
yer prunes, Foster peaches, Crawford
peaches and Muir peaches. Dahesa Clus-
ter raisins, London Layer raisins, three
crown loose Muscatelles and Seedless
ralSlnS, ETC. Then there are nuts-Eng-
lish walnutS, French walnuts, chestnuts,
hlckorleS, pecanS, almonds and peanuts:
olive oil, jellies, canned goods-and last
but not least, large quantity Of oranges
and lemons. 1t is in this exhibit that are
to be found the navel oranges, which
rival the ones shown by Correa Brothe s
of Newcastle. Mr.. Wyre also takes
pleasure i'll pointing to big cluster of
dates which hang ABOVE the car and two
immense date palm leaves II feet high.
There is also there a large oil painting of
the Marguerite fruit farm. OF which Mr..
Wyre is the manager. A Mechanics Fair
diploma and two silver medals for fine
exhibits were won by this farm and are
on exhibition in the car
The Winters exhibit was contributed
principally by j. r. Wolfskill, Mrs. J. A.
DE Vilbiss, III. Seaman and J. N. Pleas
ants.
Near the car stands the other Yolo ex-
hibit. Most of this display came from
Woodland and vicinity, and consists al
together OF dried fruits, raisins, prunes
and nuts i'll large quantities. No oranges
are exhibited except as decorations. The
display is in charge of l.. G.. Stone, D. A.
jackson and S. o. Ridgway.
PLAcER'S GRAND SHOW.
Last, but by far not least. is Placer
County's magnificent exhibition. This
display consists almost entirely of
oranges, and occupies all of the pavilion
which Is annexed to the operi-house.
The main portion of il represents the
front wall of fortress, some twenty feet
high and sixty-fiXe feet long-one solid
bank OF oranges, arranged in block-Hke
compartments to represent the stone. In
