BIG CROWDS IN ATTENDANCE.
The Mining Exhibit, Historical Display
and Other Attractive
Features.

Yesterday was a very successful day
for the state Agricultural Society, both
Park and Pavilion being well attended.
The crowd at the latter place in the even
ing was, perhaps, the largest thus far of
the present meeting. 1t is great place
to see the people, as well as to view hand
some and interesting exhibits, and hun
dreds go each night for that purpose.
Last evening three historical tableaux
were given under the direction of Albert
Hart. They were: miners Striking a
Pocket" 1.-THE Miners Sunday" and
San Intruder grizzly bear invading
the cabin and robbing the bean-pot of its
contents.
On Thursday evening three more
tableauX will be given-''Trial by Judge
Lynch" ''A Miners Burial, and min
ers at Work"
The San Bernardino Indians gave an
other of their odd exhibitions last even
ing, the more interesting feature of which
was the mock trial of one Of their number
for the theft of roll of blankets from
''Old Bach,' the white prospector. The
Indian was found guilty by Chief Cabe-
zone, who sentenced him to fifty lashes.
The culprit was made to lie flat on his
face, while stalwart Indian pretended to
lay the end of rope across his back.
Among the visitors at the Park and
Pavilion yesterday and last evening were
Governor Markham and the members Of
his staff in citizens clothes. They were
very deeply impressed with the beauty
and importance of all they saw.
Showcase after showcase stretch for a
long way along the side of the gallery,
each and every one filled with display of
fancy work, elaborate in design and neat
in execution. Ladies who seemed to be
posted in the mysteries are intensely in
terested in this elegant exhibit. Although
gentlemen may feel themselves incompe-
tent to pass upon details of such work,
yet they fully appreciate these results of
the thoughtful care that makes home
attractive.
Those interested in our public schools,
who stop TO examine the exhibit, will be
astonished at the accuracy and neatness
of the maps and other drawings shown
by the pupils OF the grammar schools of
this city.
FRUIT REFRIGERATOR.
In order to more thoroughly illustrate
to the people of California the system
which is employed in transporting their
fruit to distant markets, a California Fruit
Transportation Company's refrigerator
car has been placed in the annex to the
Pavilion, where it may and doubtless will
be inspected by all those in attendance
who are in any degree interested or Curl
Gus. The car will be iced up' to-day.
to show its actual workings in reducing
the temperature to the point required to
preserve green fruit during the long trips,
and every facility possible will be at
forded the general public to make an in
SOectiOu of its every detail
The car Will be partially loaded with
fruit from the different sections of the

vantage OF this opportunity to make an
inspection.

THE HISTORICAL SECTION.
Interest in the Historical Section does
not abate. The scheme of its promoters
is now fully understood, and on all sides
it is admitted TO have been far-seeing and
TO have worked out very great success.
It cost mmeasurablellabor, worry, self
sacrifice and public-spirited devotion.
but it repays the laborers fully to find in
the public judgment warm commenda-
ton of their laborS and approval of the
scheme.
Yesterday at the Park Director Green
meeting Governor Markham and Secre-
tary of State Waite at lunch addressed
them regarding Catalogue oI IDe HIS
torical Exhibit. He pointed out the
value of the collection, that it would
probably never be brought together
again. and that the State ought to
have full record of it. He asked
the officials if they could not de-
wise some way to have catalogue made,
that is, TO have the matter for it gathered
for the State archives in the four days
remaining of the fair. He thought TWO
good stenographers, under competent oil
rection. could take down the data and the
editing of it be made matter of subse-
quent concern. and that the cost would
be trifiing. Governor Markham replied
that he would to-day ask the State Board
of Examiners to pass upon the question.
Last evening the Governor assured the
