ranged, and at the same time particularly
convenient for careful examination. The
whole, covering an area OF about 1900
square feet, has the appearance Of trop1-
cal temple surrounded by fruit-laden
gardens. The archway of the entrance is
made of blocks of granite and sandstone
from county quarries; the center table.
from Sacramento woods. The palm trees
are of local growth-in fact, the whole is
Sacramento through and through.

what shall be displayed at the Columbian

energy and persistent effort on the part
of the County Worlds Fair Committee,
composed of Messrs. George c. Nc
Mullen, George o. Bates, &. Greer, L.
Reese and J. ?. Odbert, ably assisted by
w. Walter Greer, to whose artistic mind
success and attractive appearance OF the
exhibit, the full management having
been placed in that gentleman's hands.

given to specialties that to view such a
varied exhibition of products as is here
found causes the New England beholder
to experience symptoms OF homeslck-
ness. Samples of everything grown in

made possible only through the heartiest
cooperation OF producers and enterpris-
ing citizens generally.
