Track.


Agricultural Pavilion swing open to-mor-
row night nearly every exhibit will be III
state OF completion and a scene of beauty
never before equaled in the annals of the
society will be presented. Judging by the
present state of noise and confusion, how
ever, touch of Aladdin's magic lamp
would seem necessary to bring about this
desired result To be sure Secretary Ed
Smith has fully demonstrated in past
years his ability to perfect order out of
chaos, and it may be possible that he will
not fail to add new honors to his reputa-
ton.
Judging by present appearances the ex-
hibit of Shaw: Ingram d hatcher will be
head and shoulders above the other firms
in the completeness of their display. They
present perfect model of the old Sacra-
mento River steamer Ell Captain, which
years ago threaded the tortuous stream,
bearing on its decks supplies for the
thousands of men who delved into the
earth for the precious metal. This model
is pward of sixty feet in length and is
simply perfect in its arrangement. The
walking-beam and paddle wheels will be
placed in constant motion, an electric
motor being the agent used, while an air
pump will be used to blow the whistle.
The interior will be lighted by electric
lights, which, shining through the numer-
Gus windows, will throw constant CLEANS
over the troubled waste of canvas waters
with which the exhibit will be surrounded.
On the front of the vessel, just below the
pilot-house, will hang an anchor with cross
oars, from which will be suspended an
Edison electric fashlight of modern form.
This light has been procured direct from
the Electric Wizard.
Adjoining this exhibit is the display of
Kimbal & Epson, consisting of all varie-
ties of sporting goods.
An army of workmen is busily engaged
in perfecting arrangements throughout the
entire building, which is filled to overflow
ing with the numerous exhibits, and the
sounds of the hammers and saws are deaf
ening. The exhibits in the machinery de-
partment are rapidly coming into shape,
and the principal ones to draw attention
will be those in full operation, the motive
power being exclusively that of the Folsom
Electric Company.
Heading the list of exhibits will be a
fifty horsepower centrifugal pump from the
Krogh Manufacturing Company of San
Frencisco in full operation. The Elkus
Company of Sacramento will have fifteen
sewing machines all moving by electric
power.
In the art department, while the exhibit
ton may not be as large as that of former
years, the subjects treated will be far more
select, as local artists have in many in
stances reserved their best works, which
will be presented to the public for the first
time Monday night.
There are scores and scores of other ex-
hibits well worthy of the attention of the
visitor
The Capital Soap Company of Sacra-
mento has constructed modern cottage
of soap boxes, surmounted by three
quarter life-size statue of Napoleon, carved
from block of soap. The statue is the
work of talented young German sculptor,
resident of this city, and is strikingly
lifelike.
The Sacramento County exhibition which
was displayed at the Worlds Fair will be
reproduced.
The numerous steam-engines that have
heretofore furnished the power TO
set the machinery and exhibits in
motion will be SILENT and in their stead
the noiseless, irresistible force that travels
silently over the copper pathway from the
powerful generators at Folsom will fully
demonstrate to the visiting world the im-
mensity of it's probabilities in the future.
The whirling machinery, the flashing
lights will all be a fitting monument to
the city's entrance into the broad pathway
of progressive and future greatness.
The celebration of Admission day by
the pride of California-the Native Sons of
the Golden West-will be great occasion.
That this fact is fully recognized by the
managers is exemplifed by the beautiful
decorations erected in their honor in the
most prominent part of the building, the
space within the main entrance. The
crossed picks and shovels, the mining
pans, the California grizzlies. all emblem
atical of the order, are fully displayed.
Everything points to a most suspicious
opening of the State Fair races Horse
men from different points in the State are
pouring in on every train and no doubt
the crowd tomorrow will be large one.
The trotters and PAGERS will have an in
ming, and outside of the Occident stake,
which is considered a cinch for the speedy
La Belle, spirited contests are looked for.
The overland train, which leaves Sacra-
mento every night at 7 o'clock for San
Francisco, will give visitors from the Bay
City chance to witness the races and re-
turn the same day.
Gilead is now considered to have
mortgage on the cup race, as he worked a
handy mile over the inside track on Sat-
urday morning in 1:4011. Libertine, too,
the Eastern record smasher, is looking in
