THE STATE FAIR
Increased Attendance at the Pavilion
Last Evening.
A Fine Musical Treat-To-day's Races
One of Them to Be Hurdle
Ladies' Tournament.

There was largely increased attend
ance at the Pavilion last night, and the
expressions of satisfaction at the general
excellence of the exhibit were many and
strong, special pride being felt In the iaet
that there were so many Sacramento OK
hibitors.
A new and very attractive feature last
night was an Illuminated arch containing
nearly 200 incandeseent lights OF the
three Carnival colors, which produced
brilliant and beautiful effect. They
formed the letters S. E. p. and l.. Co.,
Folsom power, and were much admired.
The machinery in the building was all
run last night by Folsom power. A
little One-horse motor lit up and ran the
beautiful steam boat in the main hall. A
large one ran the 50-horse-power pump
in the Machinery Hall, throwing 20
inch stream with capacity OF about
1900 gallons minute. Near by was a
amaller one that ran the turning lathes
and sewing machines on the scond floor.
Still another was running the fine lathes
exhibited by the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
1t was q sight that would have sub
JScsSQ kAe kQlQlnS splIit W q Sh0A So NA
sorcery a couple of hundred years ago.
A touch to the switch started the motor
in motion, and another touch to lever
and the machinery began to move. A
little wire had brought the imprisoned
giant from Folsom, twenty-five miles
away, and the touch of the magician had
put him at work for the benefit OF man
kind.
Everything being now in order, the
teGt A
ricultural Society will commence to-day
under the direction of gentleman from
the State University, and daily bulletins
OF the results will be posted.
The great center of attraction, however,
was the band, and when the lights We're
turned down preparatory to throwing
the stereopticon views on the screen all
gathered at points whence they could see,
and congratulated themselves on Pro-
lessor Roncovieri's idea of educating their
ears by the medium of their eyes, and
thus adding to their appreclatlon OF the
fine music.
That the band has won its way into
popular favor could easily be perceived
from the persistent encores it received.
The clarionet obligato by Major Kent and
the tuba solo by MIR. Ellen berg were
finely rendered and loudly applauded.
