THE STATE EXHIBIT is A SUCCESS.
Brilliant Appearance of the Exposi-
ton Building.
Some of the Attractive Displays to be
Seen There-Events at
the Park.


The opening of the Pavilion last night
was not the occasion of great outpour-
ing of the populace, but the doors opened
as per time card. and those VINO "ere
present got not little pleasure from Lne
inspection of the various displays anu
from the excellent music proVloeo py
Roncovierfs Band.
Director Roncovieri and the audience
were greatly disappointed by the fact that
it was impossible to present the electric
stereopticon views in illustration OF Inc
music rendered, on account OF the TACT
that the electric current was not ready
for the apparatus. Mr.. Roncovlerl was
in no wise to blame for the deficiency,
and he has every assurance that every
thing will be in readiness for to-nights
concert.
There is the usual criticism to be made
regarding the tardiness of many exhibit
ors in the matter of gettiug their displays
in readiness. A large number OF them
have yet to receive their finishing
touches.
The machinery department. Is still in
somewhat unsettled state. and the agrl-
cultural implements display Is rather
limited, but it is thought that to-day will
see change for the better in these feat
ures. Indeed, there is very fair prospect
that by might there will be vast I'M
provement all over the Pavilion.
There are great many very credltable
displays. many of which are now in per-
feet order. A few of the more noteworthy
are as follows:

soaps, embracing very large variety.

cycles, and ali the multifarious furnish
ings incident to the popular craze. One
