THRONES OF VISITORS.
The first excursion train from Sacra-
mentO and way stations to the fair ar
rived at II o'clock this morning and was
crowded with people, among whom were
the Sacramento Board of Supervisors,
representatives of the Board of Trade,
and many other prominent SacTamentans.
Another large crowd came up on the reg
ular train which arrives at o'clock in
the afternoon. Colonel j. b. Wright and
and wife and l.. B. Carroll and wife
came up last night in a spe ial car
The pavilion has been crowded all day.
The exhibition is now in thoroughly
completed condition and the displays all
show off to much better advantage than
they did heretofore.
Sacramento's exhibit has been conSid-
erably improved, several additions hav-
ing been made since last writing. James
II. Kerr of Elk Grove has added quite a
number of boxes of rafsins and some
walnuts and almonds; James Rutter of
ElOrin shows some Seeding oranges,
pumaloes, licorice-root, shaddocks and
lemons; Mrs. r. G.. Courier Of Folsom
added a dozen large budded oranges,
which surpass any in the exhibit, and
Mrs. DR.. q. l.. Simmons has placed in
the display a basket of fine looking Jap
aneSe oranges.
The Placer County display has been
still further improved by the addition of
small but attractive exhibit by we'll
known Auburn physician. This cOntri-
button consists particularly Of raisins
and DruneS. There are also shown some
excellent figs and other dried fruits. The
exhibitor also shows that be is something
Of a genius, too. He has a large, Old
fashioned clock on exhibition, built of
prunes, and also a tricycle. and wheel
barrow made Of raisins. The exhibit at
tracts considerable attention.
PARKER'S LATE EXHIBIT.
II. Z. Parker, under whose able direc-
l1 al Yot n ho r,ln
were made, has also put in an exhibit at
the last moment. He selected q position
just in front OF the stage of the theater
and arranged his display on long table.
He shows some very fine navel oranges,
as well as seedlings and budded oranges,
shOddocks, lemons, nuts and dried fruits.
His figs are particularly fine.
In connection with the Placer County
exhibit is shown Il photograph of spilled
basket of peaches, which is marvel of
the Photographic art. 1t was taken by
Miss C. A. Burk of San Francisco, who,
though only an amateur, has made quite
a reputation Tor herself. The peaches
photographed were a luscious lot from
Newcastle. Mrs Fred p. futile placed
the picture in the fair.
The bosoms of the many Sacramentans
who attended the fair yesterday did not
exactly swell with pride when they
stumbled upon the exhibit alleged to
represent this county. 1t is unfortunate
that such shabby lot of oranges should
have been collected and exhibited. The
fruit. with the exception of a couple of
dozen oranges, was collected in the gar
dens of Sacramento City promiscuously,
and evidently without regard for condi-
ton. Sacramento County does produce
some splendid citrus fruits, and with the
money collected should have placed a
display in the fair that would have been
a credit to the county.
Among the Sacramentans who were at
the fair to-day and this evening were:
George w. Hancock, of the State Agri-
cultural Society; State Controller Colgan,
Supervisors Greer, Bates and Miller, Wal
ter Greer. Z. B. Willis and wife, Mrs.

EQUAL TO THE TASK.
During to-day's rush of visitors an ex-
cellent opportunity was afforded to test
the capacity of the hotels for handling
an unusual number of guests Your
correspondent was particularly watchiul
of the Putnam and Freeman Hotels. At
neither of these places was there any
sign of weakening. The preparations
had been too we'll attended to-
At the Putnam, while Messrs. Wright
q Rumage, the popular proprIetors, were
kept ION the jump" constantly, yet they
accommodated every visitor who sought
their place-and doubtless had the rush
been greater they would have been
equally successful. The management of
the dining-room is also commendable.

Mr.. Freeman has been equally careful
to be fully prepared for an emergency, and
the first complaint is yet to be heard from
any who were unable to obtain lodgings

in citizens residences has been pressed
into service. The citizens are very hos
pitable in this regard and are doing all in
their power to assist the hotels
