Chamber Of Commerce Medal
| In the Chamber of Commerce Medal
class the judges awarded the medal to G..
W. Prescott of Highland, for box of
Washington navels. The second in num-
Der of points was a box entered by Henry
Fuller of Redlands Junction.
Mr.. Prescott, the winner of the medal,
is railroad man in the employ of the
Santa Fe, and incidentally an orange
grower at Highland. To be awarded the
premium for the best box of oranges pro-
duced in Southern California is great
honor, and Mr.. Prescott deserves to be
doubly congratulated. Aside from the
honor that goes with the medal, its in
trinsic value makes it the handsomest
premium awarded at the fair. The work
manship is of the finest known to the
I al f. Iall, I, ,,rin
paid for it by the Chamber of Commerce,
would not duplicate it in this city.
There were 81 entries for this prize, and
the task of deciding which was the best
was no easy one. The oranges entered
were of various varieties, but the judges,
after due deliberation, decided that the
box of Washington navels entered by Mr..
Prescott would bring the highest price in
the market if bid for by experts, and Mr..
Prescott was accordingly awarded the
medal.

An Auction Sale
This evening all the fruit entered for
the Chamber of Commerce medal will be
sold at auction. Bids will be received
during the day, but will not be accepted
until the evening. The auction will be
conducted under the direction of Major f.
F. G. Klokke assisted by several first
class auctioneers. Bidding is expected to
be very lively, especially for the box that
captured the medal. 1t is understood
that committee of prominent Republi
cans have made up purse with view of
bidding in the prize box and sending il
to Governor Mckinley. If the Anti
McKinleyites were to take notion to Sc
cure it and send it to Professor Wilson or
some other champion of tariff reform
say Grover Cleveland-it might become a
very high priced box of oranges. There
will be no end of fun before the sale is
over The fruit will be delivered free to
Notes.
There will be great crush tonight, no
doubt. Go early and obtain a seat in the
front row in one of the galleries. The
best view to be had in the whole house is
from the top balcony, and the music can
also be heard to best advantage from this
elevation.
The decorations which have called forth
so much admiration were executed by the
firm of German & Tidball Mr.. Tidbal
has done great deal of work in this line
on occasions OF this kind but never any
thing of greater credit to himself than his
work at this fair. The proscenium arch
was of his especial designing.
Professor Arthur Uvedale's march,
written recently in Los Angeles, and ar
ranged for full brass band will be
played this evening at the Citrus Fair by
the Cassasa band.
