SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 28.-"There
has never been so bright an outlook in
State Fair matters in the history of Cali
fornia as there is this year." said Director
Land when questioned upon the subject,
land, in my Judgment there will be the
largest attendance ever known; in fact,
fear it will be almost impossible to pro-
vide suitable quarters for all the expected
visitors.
"The action of the board of directors in
reducing the entry fees to 5 per cent in
several of the racing classes bids fair to
insure the entrance of the finest stock in
the State And without doubt we will
have the track in condition which will
make record breaking not only a posi-
bility, but a proba bility. Again, we pos
sess a great advantage over former
wears, in the fact that the State
Fair will be the only one this season, and
exhibitors from all portions of the State
will be anxious for space in the pavilion to
advertise their products. This will of it.
self insure us the finest display that has
been made since the establishment of the
annual State Fair as an institution. The
advertisement of bids for pool-selling pur-
poses will also be very satisfactory to the
people at large, as it will obviate any idea
of fraud on the part of any one.
ITO sum up, 1 am fully satisfied that the
State Fair of 1895 will be in every way the
best conducted, and will draw larger
number of people to Sacramento than the
city. has ever had in former years"
Thomas Fox, president of the Native
Sons, when approached upon the subject
of the outlook for the coming State Fair,
said:
The outlook is grand and it is the in
tention of the local parIors of the order OF
Native Sons to do all that lies in their
power TO contribute to its success. We
will. in conjunction with the citizens,
decorate the city in a style and
with a profuseness that has never
before been known. There will be at least
5000 Native Sons in this city during the
session of the coming State Fair, and
nearly all will bring friends and relatives.
Our parade on Admission day will surpass
anything of the kind that has ever been
done by the order upon the coast, and we
have had large turnouts at various times
in different portions of the State"
Assistant Superintendent Jones of the
Southern Paeife Company states that his
company expects and will make due prepa-
ration to handle the largest passenger
traffic that has ever been known in a single
locality in the State.
1--WE are already in receipt of numerous
applications for specialtrains, and are pos
tive that the influx of visitors to Sacra-
mento will be greater than was ever before
known," said he.
William Duden, manager for Water
house & Lester, said the outlook for the
State Fair had never been brighter and
that it would positively insure a season of
prosperity for the city with the excellent
arrangements that are being perfected by
the board OF State Fair directors. With
the visit of the Native Sons the excellent
programme that has been prepared and
the proposed electrical display there can
be no possible doubt but that the State
Fair will prove a great success.
