made up in hospitality. A large booth
was constructed, from which quantity
artistic building filled with fruit men

apricots, pears, peaches, bananas and
other fruit from the Golden State all day
long. Great crowds surged about the

ever planned or carried out o more sue
cessful affair since the state was a ter
ritory.
During all the parading and excite
ment of the day the largest crowds |
were at the California exercises. The
vast building, completely filled with the
resources and products of the great
Golden state, was msrveled at by the
surging mass of visitors. Flags and
bunting were everywhere; flowers only
grown in the orange belt of California;
!ruits arranged in huge pyramids and
almost to the roof, were some Of the
things to be seen.

He Does Not Deny the Charge That He

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9.-The San Diegan-
Sun this evening contained an interview
with Bryant Howard, president of the
Consolidated National bank, with refer
ence to the charge that he had
been addicted to the use of opium,
and that that was the principal
cause of the banks failure. Mr.. How
ard returned from San Francisco last
night. He saw the original charge
yesterday in the press dispatches. He
does not specifically deny the charge !;
he only says: "There are many state.
ments made that are wholly untrue, or
have but slight foundation in fact"
He avoids reference to the charge as to
the banks affairs; he admits that
circumstances compelled certain trans-
actions which may not have been ex-
actly regular, but which were necessary.
Mr.. Howard is visibly affected in mind
and appearance by his troubles. The
hope OF resumption is abandoned.
