Marysyiile has gone to a great deal of ex-

deed.
In originality Of design and in an artistic
way there are few exhibits which can COM

a fac-simile Of the much-talked-about Yuba

1t is a sight so very natural and charming
| that every body fingers quite awhile on the
border Of that waterfall.
In the center of this wonderful garden
stands fine, big windmill with ever-re-
| Yolvng fans.
The windmill is a perfect imitation OF the
many real ones scattered throughout Yuba
| County, and IS entirely built of oranges
with tie exception of the roof, which is
made of dried figs.
The fans, Which revolve by means Of cleo
| trlc power, are made Of peanuts with bOr-
| ders of dried fruits.
The whole structure is Illuminated with
incandenscent electric lights and presents a
very unique appearance.
When the judges are confronted with the
question of deciding which is the most
artistic display, the tropical garden and the
windmill of the Marysvile exhibitors will
certainly be some Of the designs they will
have TO consider.
