THE CROWD STILL INCREASING.
A GAY and Brilliant Scene Last
Night
Fine Music and Attractive nlustra-
tions-The First Stock Parade
This Morning.

The attendance at the Pavilion increases
nightly, a large number being present
last night, and the main hall and galleries
present ted an animated appearance.
The remark is often heard that the Pa
vilion never presented so beausllul al
appearance as at present. ana that tne OK
hibits were never before SO tasteiui III
design and execution. The carhlVai coi-
ors are mingled with the regular oecora-
tions as one looks down the long vlsta Oh
the building and present nearly all tne
colors of the rainbow.
The effect was much heightened last
night by the colored lights of the electric
tower erected by the Capital Gas Com
many, on the sides of which were to be
seen in brilliant letters, &c. u. co"
Light" Power" and Heat" Not lar
from it was the illuminated sign OF the
Folsom Power and Light Company, and
at the rear was another handsome elec-
1rlcal display.
The poultry show, which is by far the
best ever seen here, attracted much atten-
ton, and there were many expressions oi
qualification at the removal OF IL Iren the
Park to the Pavilion, where everyone
could see it, as many who have attended
the fair in past years were unaware tnat
there was such an exhibit, placed, as 1t
was. on the farther side of the race-track.
1t is probable that If it is placed again
next year in the Pavilion there Will be
much larger number OF eXhlDitors OF
poultry than even this year.
Though those present enjoyed the sight
of the various exhibits, they did not for-
get TO pay due attention 10 honcoVIeri
and his band. The gallery around the
bana stand was lined with lovers of good
music. who spent the greater part of the
evening there in listening to II. one dld
not need eyes, either, to tell when the
lights were turned down, for the skurry-
ing of many feet toward the band IN
order to get the best possible point OF
view from which to see the attractive
pictures on the big screen told It's own
story. The trombone SOLO by Professor
Roncoyieri and the cornet solo In uni
son by Messrs. Mahood, Donlgan, Walsh,
Bowers and Lohnert were gems IN exc
cutlon and expression, and the audience
testified its appreciation OF them most
unmistakably. If Mr.. ROncovlerI had
any doubt of the favor in which he stands
with Sacramentans. the spontaneous out
burst of applause which greeted his por-
trait. which was displayed on the screen
during the last selection, must have dis
PEELED his doubt.
The Art Gallery was thronged with
NlSllOrS
pressed their appreciation OF the line dis
play and their pride in the fact that it
was entirely the production of California
artists.
The younger visitors have also struck
bonanza. The outside OF Weinstock, Lu-
bin Il Co.'s exhibit is very attractive to
their elders, but the mystery surround
ing the closed door. over which hangs
placard with the legend The Phantom
Rider" possesses fascination which
they make no effort to resist. and they
enter the CimmerIan darkness inside and
prope their way along the maze until the
skeleton and his silent steed burst upon
their view. Awed. yet full of delight,
they gaze upon his ghastly form, and
when they grope their way out tell their
mates what they have seen. and advise
them to 60 and do likewise.
