THE CITRUS PAIR

The Southern California Citrus Fair is
now in progress at Hazards pavilion.
The interior of the great building has
been transformed into a bower ample
enough for a council OF Titans and beau
tiful enough for a fairy queens boudoir.
The exhibit of fruit is magnificent, and
in quality it could not be excelled.
Nearly all the citrus growing local tiles
are well represented. Everyb body is going.
The beauty OF the exhibit will be exceed
ed only by the fair visitors who will
crowd the aisles.-Ontario Record.

have passed since the Southern California

| throng the pavilion both day and evening.
| The unusually fine display this year of
citrus fruits is attracting much attention
among the residents as well as the many
visitors who are now quartered in the city
for the winter. The Chamber of Com
merce keep permanent exhibit in their
building on Broadway, but the special
, display has met with such success that
the annual Citrus Fair may be expected
| in the future as permanent institution.

The Citrus Fair is the rage. From early
morning until late at nj ht there is a con-
| slant throng of visitors. In the evening
| the crowd is much too great for either
comfort or convenience. The interior of
the Pavilion is in itself masterpiece OF

of view the effect OF the decorations is
most pleasing and the arrangement OF the
fruits is perfect
But not least among the many attrac-
tions that this greatest Of all Citrus Fairs
presents, is the famous Charles H. Cassasa
and his band. He has captured the city.

But the interesting feature of the south
ern citrus belt this year is that the
choicest orchards are being drawn upon to
supply Florida with oranges. The people
who nave gone from the Mort to winter
in Florida have naturally insisted upon
having oranges, and since the Floridans
have none of them, they have done the
best they could. and ordered them by the
carload from California.
This is only an episode, it may be con-
cluded, but nevertheless there has never
been winter when Southern California
has had to bring oranges from Florida.
Our southern citrus belt has never been
blizzard ridden and we venture to say it
never will be. Fortunately we have
oranges enough this year to supply Flor
ida, and such oranges as are above suspic-
ion and reproach, and it gives us pleasure
to come to the relief of the only other,
state in the Union which has made orange
growing business. Hereafter, if Florida
shall boast about her oranges all Califor-
MIA will have to do will be to recall to her
the year of 1S95.-Chronicle.
Los Angeles, the place where the Soutv-
ern California Citrus Fair is being held,
is overrun with oranges, lemons, pome-
granates and other tropical and semi
tropical fruits, and Eastern visitors have
long since exhausted their vocabulary of
commendatory epithets and expressions,
and have fallen back upon that silence
which, like the oranges, is said to be
golden. From San Diego, San Bernar-
dino, Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles
,oc- he ,tntn or.n1n
any county has been omitted-there has
come a stream torrent of citrus fruits,
which has astonished even those to the
manor born, but who have not kept pace
with the development of the citrus fruit
industry in Southerna Cliforna.
Although not up to former fairs in
artistic display, the exhibit OF fruit at the
Southern California Citrus Fair, now be-
ing held at Los Angeles, surpasses in
quality anything shown on any previous
occasion. The Duarte- Monrovia Assoc a
ton have very. worthy display, it being
William Chippendale A. Stedman and
John W. Charters. In the center of the
table is an excellnet representation of the
trade mark which goes in every box of
oranges sent out by the association. This
association carried off some very credit
able premiums onrovia Messenger.
The finest displamy of citrus fruits ever
made in California may be seen at Haz-
ards Pavilion. 1t must impress strangers
with the magnifcence of our orange and
lemon groves and make them witsh to
have slice of our fertile lands. Each of
the Southern counties is represented in
this magnificent display, and each is ac-
corded particular day in which to do its
best. We cannot mention each county
and town display separately, but advise
our home readers to go and see it for
themselves. The fair is not as largely at
tended as it should be and as its merits
deserve California. Voice.
