The morning call., 1893-01-15
QUICKLY CAUGHT.
The Idea to "FeaturiZe"
the Fair.
MONDAY IS BUTTE's NIGHT.
The Extra-Sized Saturday Crowd" at
the Pavilion Was Looking For
ward to Next Week.

'Nn; we are going on Wednesday; that's
Placers night. you know" said the blonde.
"But you must come on Monday We are
going to get Up fair party In honor Oh
Butte, and lois of friends are coming down
from OroyIle especially to be- there Monday
night" urged the brunette.
OF course, they were discussing the I'M
portant question as to which day TO choose
for visiting the great midwinter citrus falr
and industrial exhibition at the Mechanics
Pavilion.
OF course, too, they decided at last IN favor
of going on both nights.
By so doing they will help 80 swell the
triumph of both Butte and Placer counties.
for Monday night has been allotted by THE
CALI, TO the former and Wednesday night
TO the latter.
Every day next week will have special
county dedicated to it. and it is remarkable
how quickly the idea is being caught by the
public.
And welcomed, too.
Among the crowds which thronged the
Pavilion yesterday the idea was leading
subject of conversation.
What day are you going next week
when Is Son0ma's day?"
"What Is Butte going to do on Monday
night?'
special show on tuesday,"
81 want to go on Alameda's night"
Are they to give sOuvenirsT
''If I'd known I would have had Tom
stop over and help Humboldt out"
These and similar scraps OF conversation
were like stTaws indicating the drift Of the
popular wind.
People are interested and are showing it.
Old people are recalling periods In their
past lives when they have visited or been
connected with one or another county, and
are proposing to further revive their Temi-
niseenceS and bring them w TO date by
visit on the night dedicated to that or other
county.
Younger people propose to take in the
whole course and furnish up IN this pleas
ant way their somewhat rusty knowledge of
their own State.
The managers Of the various exhibits
were besieged yesterday with inquiries such
rs those already quoted. Some OF them ex-
planned that On their particular nights"
they will be much better equipped for fur
nisbing all the information required con-
corning the rich regions they represent
Here are the days of next week aud tie
counties to which they are dedicated:
Monday night-Butte County.
Tuesday ntght-Yuba County.
Wednesday night-Placer County.
Thursday night-HumboIdt County.
Friday night-AIameda County.
Saturday night-Sacrsmento County.
Make note Of the nights as allotted.
Most of the counties Will have lecturer
10 readiness on their special nights to
graphically and entertainingly describe the
salient features OF their counties.
Not heavy lectures, bristling with figures
and dry with the dust Of statistics, but
bright, breezy talks, replete with interest
ing facts.
Butte County. Everybody knows Senator
Jones, and no one would give better or
lighter talk on this fertile theme, 10 which
he has devoted so much Of his lifew0rk.
We will hear where all these oranges
came from and when they grew.
Some people may have imagined that they
were imported from Riverside and have
been preserved by cold storage. They will
now have an opportunity OF learning how
much richer California is than they ever
thought.
1t is something to have ones pride 10 ones
State enhanced, is il not?
In a rough way we realize that the north
is cold and the south HOT, but we have yet
TO learn that latitude cuts but very small
figure in considering climatic or horticul-
tural capabilities, longitude having much
more bearing on the subject.
But perhaps the "lay" of the mountain
ranges has more bearing still. There are
wondrous districts lying among the Sierra
foothills.
All the oranges which are to be seen at
the Pavilion during this wonderful mid
winter fair were grown north of the thirty
sixth parallel of latitude, and most of them
either on the line Of the thirty-niDth parallel
or north Of it,
In other words these oranges were grown
as far distant from the older orange districts
in the south as Cincinnati is distant from
Atlanta, Ga Yet the exhibitors invite
comparison in quality and price with any
produced anywhere.
So much for oranges alone.
But the counties lave other products to
show besides citrus fruit.
There are the cereals. the vegetables, the
soils Of the ranch, the ore from the mines,
the finished products Of manufactures. the
fanciful handiwork Of culture, the relics Of
Indian cTudity. the thousand and one ex-
hibitOns Of genius and invention.
Little chance would there be of noting the
pearls of price now available with only one
or two showmen, however patient and In
defatigabe.
Did you notice that wreath of flowers in
its glass case was composed entirely of
flower seeds? Can hops Of frst-class quail
ity be raised at a profit ia Sonoma County?
Did you say that the lady who painted that
panel has only one hand? Upon how much
or how little land can man live indepen-
IDENTITY?
Special questions about special counties
will naturally arise, and 1t is to give infOr-
HdtiOu ItRaIuIBB lH6Se special counties

tomorrow, devote special space to each
The attendance at the Pavilion yesterday
afternoon and evening proved a surprise
even TO the management, which had eX-
pPcted slight increase.
In the afternoon there was a regular
ladies' and chidrens' reunion, and Secretary
Culver remarked that he had never seen
such pretty gathering on any previous &C.
easion thisyear, not even in the evenings.
For one thing the musical programme az
ranged by Charles II. Casassa was particu-
larry fine. The public are beginning to un-
deTstand that they are to be RECALLED with a
superior quality OF music at the Pavilion.
Never heard finer music at Munich"
was the comment of a connoisseur, and he
was further gratitied to learn that next
Wednesday will be Wagner night for the
band, which, under the guidance OF their
director. has been rehearsing that musical
wizards productions for long time
Music hath charms" for all, but while
''caviare to the general" II at least affords
them an appreciated accompaniment to
merry chatter, as by twos and threes, singly
or IN bands they promeDaded to inspect
the Astounding curiosities.
In the afternoon the darkness OF the
picture gallery had been complained Of but
later the corridor seemed, after the gloom
OF the wet and foggy night, almost too
