TIE SPLENDID COUNTY EXHIBITS.

Merirorious Features of the Pavilion

OF the stock at the Park but of the
Tulare County exhibit at the Pavilion.
And this is said without any disparage-
ment of the other county exhibits. But
Tulare has not been so well understood
as to resources as have most other
counties.
In fifteen days time the Tulare exhibit
was gathered, and it is simply surprising
that the result before us was possible
under the circumstances. Details can
not be gone into here, but the visitor can
do so. He or she should not only dwell
upon the splendid production exhibits of
Sacramento and Sutter, but take Tulare
into account with the knowledge that it
is county that has been least adver-
tlsed and is least popularity known.
The machinery exhibit is not large
but it is larger than we had supposed it
would be in this tight" year. There is
plenty in Machinery Hall to instruct and
repay for the visit. Those who skip"
Machinery Hall make decided mistake.
They will md there considerable of the
results OF California inventive genius
and mechanical skill, as we'll as quanti-
ties OF the products of other mechanical
and manufacturing sections.
In the matter of fine handiwork by
women the fair is very rich. Most of
this work will be found in the south
upper hall and along the southerly gall
leries, and it will be found to repay for
examination. Needlework is one of the
housewifely arts, and it is wise and
essential to stimulate ii in these annual
eXpositions.
There was fine attendance at the Pa
vilion last night, perhaps the best of the
season. The entertainments in the great
building are ample for the demand. All
fairs in these days must provide enter
tainment as well as exhibits. All fair
managements know this to be true, and
hence effort is made TO draw the people
and keep them coming, by the use of
music, art, mirth, novelty, etc.
This year we have at the State Fair
many OF the baZar exhibits of the lid
winter Fair, and also plentiful supply
OF the Midway shows, aud all are within
the west wing of the Pavilion. The
''spielers" are there, and noisy enough
certainly, and the bazar people from
Italy, Russia, Ireland, France and other
parts are there, and their displays are
glittering and their salespeople persuasive
and persistent.
Our own people have provided some
thing in the way OF appeals to the fancy
and love OF the beautiful, and in at least
two notable instances, that of Schaw, In
gram IL hatcher and Weinstock, Lubin IE
Co., there are spectacular displays that
are rich, beautiful, novel and panoramic,
and receive the praises of all visitors.
Besides these are many other fine mer-
camille and manufacturing displays, and
these, with the county exhibits, machin-
cry, agricultural implements and de-
vices, the art gallery, the bazars, the mu-
sic, the juvenile plaisance and SO on,
make up Pavilion show of credit, en-
tertainment and satisfaction. Truth is.
it is surprising that in an ''off" year, one
so decidedly ''otf'' as is this, such a fine
Pavilion display was possible.
A strong, ii not the leading at the Pa
vilion at night is Cassasa's great orches-
trail and military band of forty pieces. Its
concerts are alone worth the price of ad-
mission to the Pavilion. Last night No.
10 on the programme was 1.-The Sutter
Grammar School March," composed by
j. c. Walling, of Sacramento, an ambi-
tjous and thus far successful local COM
poser. Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Bates again
appeared in a cornet duo, and Mr. Bates
likewise gave comet solo. The band is
a popular thing at the fair, and if it
were to have ballot expression by the
public as to it's merits, the vote of the
people who visit the Pavilion would lee
unanimous in its favor and with empha-
sis.
1t is understood that a movement is
afoot within the band for a novel and de-
lightful musical effect some night this
week, provided dozen of our best male
slug Call 10 GHlISL6U 10 alQ. surely
local pride and musical love will move
the requisite number to comply.
During the afternoons and evenings at
the Pavilion the wonderful illusion,
Ariel" has been drawing throngs of
visitors. 1t p.eases all who see it.
The changing of the statue to life at
Morris Illusions in the Pavilion is at
tracing much attention and is an un-
usually clever piece of mystery. This
and the automatic marvel, "PsvchoO
and ''She,' are undoubtedly the best of
their kind and will more than repay
visit.
Johnnie Shelton, Lottie Marin and
other fine, fast, gentle road horses will
be sold at auction to-day at IL O'Clock at
Agricultural Park.
COUNTY AWARDS.
The Committee on County Exhibits
concluded their labors yesterday. The
first prize goes to Tulare, and the second
to Sutter.
IN THE ART GALLERY.
In No. 90, sheep in landscape, William
Stone has presented an excellent exam
pie OF what is probably his favorite line
in art. Richardson roses, 81, by jose
phine Bayley, Is worthy flower piece,
as also is the ''Straw berries" 81, by Mrs.
William Hahn, good representative of
fruit painting. Louise NJ. Carpenter has
novelty in IS. "Curio Study" that
makes an attractive canvas. Parting
toms "Ma Dona," "a, is a pleasing ex-
hibit of the artists genius for portraiture
and human figure. j. d. Strong's Xxi
lauea Nolcano,' l02, attracts deserved at
tention. 1t is full of expression, though
not evidently a much-studied effort
William Hahn. in l04, los and LOG. has
three animal figure pieces possessing
some decisive merits, but not devoid Of
exaggerations. Frank l.. Heath's "Cy-
press Point" 137, and "Donner Lake,u
13S, "a Windy Day." 143, and STORMY !
Weather" 144, are landscapes that add to
the reputation of this capable California
artist, whose work we had occasion to
frequently commend His creek view.
243, is worthy close examination. Mr..
Stanton's l52 landscape is a charming
piece OF work, perhaps not his best in |
that line, but nevertheless a creditable |
canvas. strong in good drawing.
In Marien NJ. Froelich's flower |
pieces we have one of the best ex- |
amples of art execution upon that |
line. Her La France roses, 153, is per-
haps as good a work as she has ever /
put on view. That it is the subject of !
much comment is not surprising-It is |
one of the best finished and most strik-
ing flower canvases ever shown in the /
State exposition. By the same artist we
have landscape, us, and ''Sand Dunes.,,
1913, meritorious pieces. but the first men /
toned, her flower piece, is by all odds |
her best work.
w. X. Irving has clever marines in 359
and 352, landscape in 256, and some SUI
perior fruit pieces in addition. in which
latter we thlnk she is at her best. Miss
r. E. Chaffie does herself and art credit |
in Still-life studies, as in 320, 323, 3l7 and (
in a flower study in a shell, 3l9. aud /
notably in study of salmon, 500.
VIM. Hubacek's 260, summer is a /
work that justly commands attention.
