The morning call., 1893-01-11


But from the moment Of entering the big
building on LaTkin street, near Market, the
northern citrus belt takes the visitor by
storm.
Il is gold. gold gold, gold-a glare of gold.
Miss KIllmansegg of golden leg fame
would have fairly reveled in the scene.
Golden spheres of concrete northern sun
shine, in the form of oranges. towering
aloft in fanciful architectural designs.
Golden lemons. golden lines. golden corn,
golden cereals. golden squashes, golden
wines.
It fairly dszzIed the eyes and forced the
ladies to eXclsim, "0hF'
For there were crowds of ladies there last
night with golden as we'll as darker tresses,
accompanied by dudes with gold-knObbed
canes.
Secretary Culver said he had never seen
such a crowded first night at any fair, and
he has seen all the institute has gwen.
Even the band on the central dais seemed
to have substituted gold for brass instru-
ments, and to play ali the better for it.
This was the first time that the big orange
frameworks had been lit up. and the yellow
glare of the gasjets and the softer CLEAN of
the electric globes added their sheen of gold
to the c0mmonest exhibits.
The entrance to the main floor is made
through he gateway of the northern citrus
belt" an imposing triple arch thirty feet
high. composed Of layers OF Placer COunty's
oranges fringed with leaves of the orange
tree, among which nestle hundreds OF col
ored electric globes.
Through the main arch, away at the far
west end, Is seen golden cross rising from
a plateau of crags, suTmounted by the le-
gend Rock Of Ages" and when the visitor
reaches it he will find that the cross is also
composed If the golden fruit.
But before he gets there he must pause to
admire Yuba COunty's exact representation
Of the California building ar the M
Worlds Fair, all in oranges; Tulare's dis
play of superb nayels. mandarins and seed
less oranges; SacramentO's big orange loco
motive. with its headlight ablaZe, amid the
seductive yellow fruit; Butte C0unty's
orange building, the orange windmill IN full
play, the huge orange bell, and a dozen
more features of the citrus display.
OF course there IS a whole lot TO do vet
before the exhibition is in a complete state.
Carpenters were still at work exhibits had
notyet arrived (amOng others Riverside being
expected 10 contribute her quota 90 the mid
winter fruit show), but on the other hand
whole lot had been done.
Many Of the county exhibits on the inner
circle were finished and presented peculiarly
interesting features.
In the number of those which continually
attracted a crowd was Humboldt as it was
Ia 1880, with its animals and Indian curios,
and Humboldt as it Is to-day. with its plen-
tfui store Of agricultural and erb0real prod

charm for the ebbing and flowing tide of
visitors.
During the evening Cassassa's military
band disc0ursed sweet music
While listening 10 the strains a gay crowd
urumenaded around the outer circles and
upper galleries devoted TO special local ex-
hibts
Tie machinery-roOm had It's Yotaries. and
tired worshipers at the shrine Of art found
convenient seats 10 the southern gallery,
where they could rest aud criticize the
pictures, although these were not all In
place,
Tie Cahdy-manufacturers, the ieecreanl-
soda people. the peanut vendors and other
caterers 10 the palate showed themselves
fully awake to the occasion and received
good patronage.
Then there were the latest patent devices
for saving labor, electric machines, ma
chimes Tor washing dishes substitutes for
stained glass, great exhibits of polished
California woods, IByo County marble, pal
aces OF Jelly glasses, an aquarium filed with
California fish. great bales of fragrant hops,
tons Of prOdigious vegetables and wealth
OF interesting wonders, IN which attention
fairly lost itself.
No awards we're made last night, owing
70 a mistake, but the Committee Will correct
this tomorrow.
The closing time has been fixed for 10
p. n. each evening, except on Saturday,
when this time will be extended one hour.
Each day there will be a new programme
