DECORATIONS IN DETAIL
Lavish En1beiIishirgs in Orange and Yellow
Bold Idea

The idea of using orange and yellow as
dominant colcrs in the decorations was a
bold one, especially SO when it was pro-
posed to use decorative effects so lavishly.
The results, however, have been happySin
the extreme. There is nothing startling
and nothing garish i'll the impressions
conveyed. The tone is a bright one, but
it is softened by the covering of netting
and further subdued by the liberal use of
ivy, cypress, juniper and date palm
fronds. 1t is unique, but rich; it is
splendid, but restful. Messrs. German &
Tidball are the contractors who designed
and carried out the decorative scheme of
the Pavilion. The stage is set representing
u woodland scene and forms good back
ground as one looks over the sea OF or
ange colored fruit upon display. The sides
and tops are covered with orange fabric
covered with netting. This again is COW
cred with ivv running in waverin9 lines
from the bottom 20 the top and suggesting
the young plant climbing the sides of a
building. Other netting more thickly
covered with the green and Stimulating
drapery adornS the outer edges, producing
a most harmonious and graceful effect.
Immediately over the stage are the words
Southern California Citrus Fair "
worked in oranges, and beneath this, also
in the golden globes, is the year, 1885 Z"
Near the base and to the lett ot the stage
is monogram in which the letters and
G are interviewer. TO the right, also
near the base are the letters c and +. The
latter letters done in citrus fruits, are sur
rounded by diamonds in outline and scroll
work, both in oranges. The one exception
TO the otherwise prevailing orange and
yellow is the gallery front. This, over
its entire length, has a background of pc
culiar green approximating the blu. grass
OF Kentucky in color. This everywhere
is toned down by the darker green of the
humble ivy and the graceful cypress
Upon this ground and worked in oranges
are the words Southern California Fruit
Exchange. The supports under the gal

Ventura countys display is the one in
the south end of the west gallery, and is
in charge of William J. Sheriff. The ex
hibit Ventura county makes is an excel

weight is satisfactory. Among those

largely from its really fine exposition of

In the gallery Rowland Bros. of Po-
mona have an exhibit of olives and olive
oil. E. G. Driffill has an attractive dis
play of orange marmaade and lemon
jellies. The large exhibit of olives, also in
the gallery, is made by John S. Calkins.

dition and are samples of the preservative

Another exhibit with an abiding place
under the west gallery is that of the

of dcciduous fruits, dried, and farm pro-
ducts. 1t is peculiarly interesting from
the fact that they represent results attain
ed without the aid of irrigation. High

shows lot of lemons and oranges. The
town of Fillmore, Ventura county, is in
of great merit. J. d. McNab is in charge.

The front e Hazards Pavilion, on Fifth
street. presented bright appearance this
morning. 1t was made so by many ilut-
tering flags and by multi -colored bunting.
Immediately over the two main en-
frances were floating six American flags,
and in their center Union Jack. Bunt-
ing. composed of scores OF small flags, was
strung up and out in two different direc-
tons from point midway in the frontage
and on a level with the top of the door
ways to the east and the west ends of the
Pavilion and from these two points again
up to the topmost point directly over the
entrances, thus forming in outline an i'm
mense diamond of small flags. Inside the
building the beauty OF the scene seemed
to he even greater than on the previous
day. The effect is strangely beautiful.
81 simultaneously with the opening of the
doors came the visitors. Not many, to
be sure. vet the fact remains that as soon
as the ticket taker was ready for the days
operations Just SO soCn came party of
three to witness the display OF citrus
fruits brought together Tor the instruction
and entertainment OF the public. They
were soon joined by others, who evidently

in the evening. An hour later several
scores of visitors were present. The fact
that the Citrus Fair was attracting early
morning visitors was noticed by both
the president. Frank Virgins, and G. d.
Willard, the secretary. They spoke of this
tendency to come early as augurlng
great success as TO the fairs probable at
tendance. Whenever fair or exhibition
attracts. early morning visitors you can
always count upon a large success, said
one OF the gentlemen.
stroll taken among the various ex-
hibts shows everything to be in place,
and the fair as whole perfect as almost
it can be made to be- Credit is due to
those making entries for the prompt man
her in which the several exhibits have
been placed Instead OF dilatory action,
each exhibitor has been seemingly alive
to the necessity of being on time and
this has resulted in a display which leaves
nothing to be remedicd, nothing to cor
rect and nothing to finish The visitor
OF today is assured that he or she will
gain nothing by delaying first visit
until towards the end OF the fair. They
will. miss nothing by attending now that
they might see three or SIX days hence.
1t is all there and perfect in arrange
ment, and it is an exhibit that eclipses
anything ever before attempted. The
writer has seen the citrus fairs of Florida
many of them-and is frank to state
that never has that state attempted any
thing SO ambitious i'll scope and design
as the one now open to the public i'll this
city.
The management is also to be con-
graduated upon the thoroughness and
dispatch with which it has so success
fully handled it's business. The duties
and responsibilities have been many and
OF an aggravating nature. They have
been met and assumed in way that is
most satisfactory. to those making entries,

the aisles, or, as q part OF it did, became
seated IN the gallery in order to view the
scene below them or to be prepared for the
musical treat that Director Casassa was
expected to give.
Nor did Charles II. Casassa, director of
the famous band that bears his name,

Angeles, but-more might have attended,
and to their complete and entire satisfac-
ton. The people of the city, county and
neighboring counties must learn first that
the present Citrus Fair is the most mag
nificent Citrus Fair that has ever been
opened to the public.

such by old-timers-by those who have
seen them from Chico to San Diego, by
those who have witnessed attempts in
Florida and by those who have seen the
European citrus groves with their wind
breaks of solid masonry but who never
once in a long term Of years saw there
citrus fair, once. The testimony as to
the merits claimed for the Southern
Californsia Citrus Fair for 1895 is COM
plete. 1t is vouched for by those who
have seen citrus fairs and by those who
have not seen citrus fairs. And this is
a case where what person has not seen

such a character as not to be thrown

1agnets to Draw Crowds

AS before stated, visitors to the Citrus
Fair arrived early Those who made the
morning visit were evidently those who
cared nothing for the music which is
provided through the afternoon and
evening, and nothing for the delights Of
being among hundreds or thousands of
others in order, perhaps, to see and be
seen. They came strictly to look at the
display presented and to learn the essons
silently taught Thereon, perhaps, they
came because it was a bounden duty
to do so. Who may st,y? That
they were there is sufficient.
An increased assemblage was present
throughout he afternoon, and if it is pos
sible to Judge upon such matters, it
would seem that those present enjoyed
