Our Display at Chicago.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: | have recently
returned from Chicago, where I spent
three weeks, considerable portion of
which time was devoted to seeing the
Worlds Fair. My only apology for this
statement is that since my return to Sac
ramento l have heard innumerable in
qulrles concerning the California exhibit
at the fair, and the general impression
seems to prevail that it is not worthy of
our state. l wish to correct this erron-
eous idea, and if possible set the minds OF
our people right on this subject; and to
that end Will state as fact, the result of
no limited observation, that the California
! exhibit IN extent and variety, especially
IN agricultural, horticultural and viii
cultural lines, is beyond comparison the
finest State exhibit in the fair. The
California building, which ranks second
in size among the State buildings, is
hIled with the products of our soil, forests
and mines, and while | have seen many
shows" of this kind in this State the
one contained in the State building at
Chicago far surpasses any that have come
under my observation.
1t IS composed of exhibits from the va
rlous counties and embraces specimens of
every article and product worthy of exhi-
bitlon, many of which are new to our
! own people.
cannot enter into a detailed descrip-
ton of the California display, because
took no notes, and did not anticipate be-
ing called upon to say anything in its de-
fense.
1t is strange that the idea mentioned
above is so widespread, and l can only
account for it by the fact that the press
generally has dealt unfairly with the ex-
hibit, as it has done with every other
State display on the grounds. 1t was the
universal complaint of all the different
State managers that their home papers
were burning them up"
The Sacramento County display is per-
haps the finest in the building and ad-
mlrably arranged by Mr.. McMullen and
MIR. Murphy, to whom great credit Is due
Tor the energy and taste they have shown
in putting their exhibit in order. They
were delayed, of course, as were nearly
all the exhibitors on the grounds, for the
reason that the building was not COM
pleted, and it was several weeks before
they could possibly open their cases and
arrange their display.
Unlike most other States California has
grouped nearly all her exhibits in her
own building; not over half-dOZen State
buildings having any display at all. They
are mostly constructed and occupied
merely as reception rooms for people
| from their individual States.
The California building will be one of
the principal attractions of the fair. not
| only on account OF Its magnificent dis
play of our products, but the art gallery
with its fine collection of paintings, and
the interior decoration Of the main walls
with large and beautiful pictures repre-
senting the grand scenery and lovely
rural scenes of our State.
Even at the time 1 left people could be
heard on the grounds, the trains and
streets discussing the beauties of Cali
fornia's display, and urging their friends
to visit it. o, S. FLINT.

ENCAMPM MENF FUNDS.
The Second Infantry viii Not Camp
This Year.
Prospects for 1s94-Apportionmen OF
the Funds-Elections and Other
Military Matters.

General Allen has been apportioning
the available funds for encampment pur-
poses for 1898 "a. This money can be
used in either year, but Colonel Guthrie's
regiment, the Second Infantry, Battery
b, Light Artillery, and the Signal Corps
will not go into camp until next year.
The entire transportation fund for the
National Guard amounts to $4,000, of
which 500 will be allowed to the field
officers and non commissioned staff of the
Second Infantry, and Sl60 for horses.
The further sum of S525 will be allowed
to bring the companies of the regiment
to headquarters at Sacramento.
The usual allowance has been provided
for the Signal Corps, and S4OO each for
subsistence of Companies a, c, E, f, G
and the battery. Companies B, D and H,
at Vallejo, Auburn and Grass Valley,
will be allowed $500 each for subsistence.
Light Battery B will be allowed $3.50 for
horse hire.
Some close financiering will have to be
done to provide transportation If the en-
tire force goes to the seacoast. Each of
the six old companies will have to assist
the three new ones in the matter of sub
sistence, and probably cheap transporta-
| tlon could be secured to some point on
the bay or at Vallejo for the entire regi-
ment; and if a division encampment is to
be held money will have TO be raised by
the Division Commander to bring the
forces to some central point.
| Company G held an election tor Cap
tain and Lieutenants on Monday even
ing which resulted in the reelection of
! its present otticers-Captain T. b. Hall,
First Lieutenant A. E. Stearns and Sec
ond Lieutenant j. l.. Zittinger. Major

The battery elects a Second Lieutenant
on Friday evening, at which Colonel
Hubbard will preside.
Major August Heilbron is about to ap-
ply for retirement, his health not permit
ting of his serving on the active list any

Staff since January, 1880, has been very
