SOMETHING ABOUT SACRAMENTO
COUNTY'S EXHIBIT.
The Quality of Fruit Rivals That sent
to the Worlds Fair-Some Charm
ing Musical Features.

The exhibits in the Pavilion had a good
''looking-at' last evening, and many a
| commendatory remark was heard from
! the visitors.
One of the most attractive features in
the big exposition hall is the Sacramento
| County exhibit. 1t is not only one of the
| largest, but probably the finest display
the county ever made. The exhibit is in
charge of ex-SupervisOr Erskine Greer
/ through whose careful and judicious
management it was brought up to such a
standard of excellence. That the display
was gotten up for less money than ever
/ before is marvellous. The Supervisors
appropriation for the display was a
timely one, and was undoubtedly wise
move. The county will be greatly bene-
fitted by it.
Sacramento is not entered for the first
county premium, so those of the outside
counties which have displays will have
an open field. The committee in charge
considered this proper and courteous.
Those whose products go to make up the
county show will get even, however.
when it comes down to the prizes for
individual exhibits. No mercy will be
shown there.
81 tell you, sir, this county exhibit
double discounts the one Sacramento
sent to the Worlds Fair" said Mr. Greer
10 RECORD-UNION reporter yesterday.
81 mean, Of course, with reference to
quality. w hen the Worlds Fair exhibit
was prepared there was no such fruit to
be had such as we have this year. [ have
been getting up exhibits for Sacramento
County for ten straight years. and know
what L am talking about. Why if
could just pick up this exhibit and land
1t at the Worlds Fair, l would paralyze
those Fasteners. Look over there-see
those two jars Of orange cling peaches?
/ They measured thirteen inches in cir
cumference before they were put in the
lars. Don't you think they would make
the East open their eyes? You bet
they would. There was a doctor from
New South Wales here to-day and he
hung around those Jars as if they were
magnets. He tried every way in the
world 10 persuade me to sell them. AL
though our ex hibit looks beautiful now.we
expect to greatly improve ii next Monday.
as some more fresh fruit is coming in, /
hope TO see lots of Sacramentans here
/ that evening. for [ know they well feel
proud OF their county"

furnished large part of 1t and some Of
