SCENES IN THE PAVILION
The Immense Structure Mag
nifiCently Decorated and
Lighted.
FIRST DAY OF THE RACES.
Three Interesting Track Events
Witnessed by Fair-SiZed
Crowd.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 2.-There
was fair crowd at the opening of the
State Agricultural Pavilion tonight and
every one present expressed surprise and
delight at the number and variety of the
exhibits and the magnificent decoration of
the immense arc light of the Sacramento
Electric Light Company. The exhibits
glistened and cleaned like precious
metals and the gorgeous streamers, flags
and banners that form the decorations re-
tiected perfect dream OF beauty. Never
before in the annals of the State Fairs has
such perfect system prevailed as under the
regime of the present board of directors,
and it is very evident that the infusion of
new blood has worked radical change in
the method of conducting this enter
prise.
The exhibits, while in many instances
incomplete, sufficiently display by their
outlines a promise of a far better exposi-

ton in all departments than those of
former years. In the art and fancy work
departments there are specimens well
worth the study and close scrutiny of all
visitors. The pen and ink sketches of
Partington show especial merit, and
catch the eye of all beholders, and the
paintings and needle work OF Mrs. Patter-
son, local artist, call forth much COM
ment.
In the machinery department. the ex-
hibits are as yet incomplete, and it will be
probably two or three days before every
thing will be working smoothly and in
perfect harmony.
One of the most attractive features of the
fair will be the music of the American
Concert band, under the dictatorship of
Alfred Roncovieri. Its programmes will
be greatly enhanced by the descriptive
illustration of the music as played.
Out at the park everything has been
completely renovated and the old sheds,
stands and paddocks, under the hands of
a score of carpenters and painters, have
been placed in condition that reflects
credit on the board of directors and honor
to the capital city. The cattle stalls are
rapidly filing up, but large proportion
of the horned exhibits are not expected to
arrive until Thursday. AS vet the swine
exhibit is small, but it promises to far ex-
ceed the display of former years IN this
line.
One of the best arrangements made by
the directors has been the engagement of
twenty of Morse's experienced detectives
men who are familiar with the personnel
of the criminal element as a schoolbov is
with his primer, and who have received
instructions to refuse admittance to any
known crook and to point out all disrep-
utable characters to the local police
force that they can escort them out of
town.
The work of building decoration in
honor of the Native Sons is in full blast,
and an army of workmen has been busy
all day stringing carnival colors in tasty
designs on the buildings of the city. This
early beginning insures completeness of
decoration never before known, and the
Native Sons need have no doubts but what
Sacramento's welcome will be as hearty

come here on their usual visits, are

were three dentists in town over a
week, and four part of the time.

all pain and there was no suffering
from the extraction OF the teeth.

from this dread ordeal. The pain.

NEW PLAN TO GET BOOK AGENTS.

The book publication business
has become so enormous in the past
few years. aud so many book agents
turned loose upon loi 9 suffering
public. that the business has be-
come more or less OF a nuisance
and the book agent in rather bad
repute. There is money in the
business for a good agent, but the
ability required in first class agent
would succeed equally az well in
other more pleasant lines OF bust.

the book companies resort to va

schemes that has come under our
observation is that Of The Matthews

the teachers in county and their

or map in exchange for the list.
They then send type written let

gagged at a good salary to work for
them. etc. liz the party replies fa-
vorably, as many of them do, the
next move is to write them Offering

out that the whole scheme was

there is young man named Il. w.

is sharp and slick. aud gets many
OF the parties to go to work for the

THE INCOME.TAX DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme
Court in the income. tax cases is u
grave disappointment TO those who
have advocated this tax us just and

rect III some measure the inequall-
ties of any system of tax ltion. That
majority of the Court should de-
clare important provisions Of the
law to be unconstitutional, and
that the sitting Justices should be
evenly divided on the validity Of
the remaining features, is "a severe
blow to the statute.
The effect of the decision is to
exempt the large incomes from in.
vestme nts, and to tar incomes from
industry. The capitalist whose
money is or may be invest ed in real
estate or IT. State, county or mum
cipal bonds escapes. The man
whose income is derived from trade,
transportation, manufacturing or u
salary is taxed. Thus law which
was intended to correct in some

exempiing that form Of accumuln-
ton which is more secure, and to
the value of which the owner has
