MUSIC AND FRUIT.
Houses of Oranges Built at
the Pavilion.
THE FAIR IS A SUCCESS.
Bright Scenes and Astonisied Crowds
in the Big Larkin-Street Build
ing Last Night.

From early in the evening yesterday till
late into the night an immense throng
pressed into the Pavilion.
Such display as that on exhibition there
now IS not to be seen any day, ana people
appear TO realzs it.
Young men were there with their lady
friends. fathers and mothers had brought
their families, and stray individuals were
not prevented from coming by fears Of being
lonely. The gallery was comfortably filed
by o'clock, and those who had been fortu-
nate In securing good places were not hasty
In giving them up
The, crowd was the largest yet seen at the
fair, and was as good-natured and manage
able as such a concourse could well be. Ii
surged in at the main entrance, passed in
establishment beneath the great Placer
County gateway, loitered a moment full of
wonder at Maryyile's windmill and Sacra-
mento's locomotive, swept to either side of
the bandstand, and met again beside Pa
lermo'S Mission. and then stO rped breath
less at the foot of Oroville'S Rock of Ages"
1t was magnificent climax to the great
show, but there was 10 time to delay and
on it prured.
Three hundred and twenty-five private
exhibits remained to be Inspected ranged
ABOUT the central show and out in the wings
and back in the machinery display. The
twenty-seventh Industrial Exposition and
Worlds Fair exhibit. it is safe TO say,
could not be properly seen under three full
hours.
AS the visitor enters he is Immediately
struck and half-bewildered with the great
glare OF yellow and gold before him. Down
vista OF arches and embankments of the
beautiful fruit he looks for hundreds of feet
and his eye does not stop short Of the Oro-
vile cross at the far end.
Above and below and to either hand
oranges and lemons are heaped and ar
ranged in scores of striking designs without
regard TO expense or trouble. glance at
few Of the most prominent features of the
display VIII satisfy even the most uDc0n-
cerned that California not only can raise
oranges but can arrange them wonderfully
well at fair.
For example there is the gateway at the
very beginning 1t is structure twenty
three feet high aud sixty feet long. Ii has
three arches the center one, under which
you can pass, being fully fifteen feet high.
The top IS covered with palms and greens
and relieved by various colored electric
lights.
1t is almost impossible to see any part of
the framework SO completely is it covered
with big golden oranges There are $4,000
OF them. 1t was built by Placer County.
When once you have passed the gateway
to your right stands James O Brien's exhibit
OF Seeding oranges, constructed into the
court ana dome OF The California State
building at the Worlds Fair. II stands &c
feet high. Every detail of the original
building is brought out so far as il is posi-
bic. There are the curved roofs and arched
windows and tiny doors, and 10000 oranges
tied over il all
Just before the State building are three
odd displays. A bell of Seeding oranges
from Wheatiand ana a modern Eiffel Tow
hat ~ IN CfofF Etn nv
hlbt OF Thompson's seedless raisins.
The windmill from Msrysyille is built up
OF Seeding oranges. and is provided with
doors OF lemons and high revolving wings
OF dried hgs, apricots and gilded peanuts.
The mill is run by an electric motor Within
aud pumps up water which runs down over
little rocky passage IN the garden below
and secures the effect Of waterfall.
In this garden are plants and rocks and
moss, and arranged about them the exhibits
of number Of Marysyille people.
Directly opposite the windmill are banks
Of fIuit from Porteryile and before them
stands Sacramento's engine. Ii Is a loce-
motive and tender of lie size. all made of
oranges and lemons. All the points Of the
real engine are there, even TO the Toadb ed
OF rocks strewn with fruit. Lines of lemons
and bright iDcandescent lights bring out The
moldug In better relief. The cabooSe is
lined with blue IL would make delight
full engine fer few weeks "trip.
The Palermo exhibit represents a part Of
an old mission. The tower of navel oranges
surmounts projecting structure Of canned
fruit and lemons. Each arcade is built up
of tiers of fruit.
just across from Palermo's display is an
other from Butte County II is OF oranges
of course. The whole affair is yellow with
them. IL Is a light roof resting on six
columns. The columns are made up OF
large jars of canned fruit. The top is
decorated with banners.
The beholder might begin 10 fancy he
had seen II all. but at sight of 0royiIls's
exhibition his eyes must positively lump.
An immense arch of the leaves OF fan
palms surmounted by n star OF inca ndescent
lamps towers forty feet above him. Within
the arch is superb cross of oranges and
lemons fully fifteen feet in height resting on
a pile Of rocks. From the rocks sloping
gently to the floor is bank OF oranges,
tastesully arranged with borders Of lemons.
AT either side Is an orange tree bearing
fruit 1t is all arranged at the extreme end
OF the room, and the motto, Rock Of Ages"
done III oranges above the cross, can be
easily seen from all parts of tine house.
Tire general effect OF this display is TO i'm
press the beholder with the idea that all the
oranges the wolrd mayneed for years yet to
come can be gotten right here in this State.
The remainder OF the exposition is equally
elaborate. The fish display is a novelty
ami an interesting one, too Each tank is
about three feet square, and lighted by yari-
Gus colored electric lamps.
Cereals OF every kind can be seen on ex-
hibItiop, as indeed so can about every de-
yeopment Of industrial arts.
From the maps of California on the Lar
kin-slreet side to the furthest piece OF
mechanism in the machinery hall, every
thing IS complete and wonderful
The board OF directors Is jubiaht over the
success oil the Og Undertaking, and its men,
bers beam j0yfully about, II fecling as
much brightness as the oranges them
selves.
