Novel and Notable Features of the
Exhibition at the Coming
state Fair.

Prensrations for the State Fair are be-
ing pushed forward with all speed, and
everything is hustle and activity.
AT the Pavilion things are in fully as
forward state as is usual during the week
preceding the fair, and large number of
men are engaged in putting up structures
to receive the various exhibits. Appllca-
tons for space are numerous, and II Is
safe to predict that some of those who are
slow in making application Will ina
themselves left out in the cold.
The Pavilion presents a beautiful ep-
pearance, the decorations under the di-
rection Of the veteran Decorator George
Boyne being, if anything. more tasteful
than ever before. At the east end the
Native Sons have the carnival colors put
up, the upper gallery being draped with
the red and green and the lower gallery
with the yellow, the posts being also
draped with yellow, and on each is a
group of American flags, with the imple-
ments of the miner and agriculturist.
The letters 'N. ;. 6. w." with the
American shield. are displayed on the
upper gallery, and the effect, when gaz-
ing from the ives. end of the building, Is
very striking.

Land for their benefit, having prepared
the Juvenile Plaisance, in which they

The horticultural display will be, as
usual, in the north wing. Sacramento
County will have tine display, in rep

that goes to the Atlanta Exposition, 1t is
anticipated that the exhibit will be ex-
csllent. The machinery and the Stude-
baker Wagon Company's exhibit Will oc-
cupy the south wing. In the south annex
will be the agricultural implements and
the poultry exhibit, which will be the
finest ever made here. Two hundred and

industrial eX hibit and ladies' fancy work.
in the alcoves there will be floral exhib-
its by the Bell Conservatory Company
and McWiliams.
The exhibitors on the main floor are
actively at work, and there will be some
very fine exhibits there. Among those
that have taken definite shape is one
worthy of mention-that of Schaw, In
gram, Batcher d Co.-which is hand
some steam boat, thoroughly fitted up
and artistically decorated with articles of
hardwa and other goods. Five firms,
and perhaps more, will exhibit the ever
present bicycle in endless variety. Clark

a most attractive feature Will be the
American Concert Band of forty pieces,
with Alfred Roncovieri as Director. The
band is celebrated for its artistic render
ing OF music. and will have feature
never before introduced on the coast-a
double quartet of trombones, which
render the music with fine etfecI.
MIR. Roncovieri is also the originator
of descriptive illustrations of music
played by the band. He has a screen
55X35 feet, about four times the size of
those usually used for steTeopticon views.
This screen is the longest that has ever
been used on the coast, or, in fact, out
side of New \ ork City, for stereopticon
work. Upon 1t Is projected, while the
band plays selection, picture illustra-
tive OF the words of the song, or if de-
scriptive piece, 1t illustrates the subject
chosen by the composer. For instance.
if medley of hymns is played contain
ing Rock of Ages a representation of
il the ''Star-Spangled Banner" is rend-
patriotic scene is displayed, and in "The
Races" one OF the bands selections, the
exciting struggle OF the horses is shown.
These are Illuminated by three lamps of
$4,000 candle power, and when it is con-
sidered that the ordinary calcium light is
only 800 candle power, the brilliancy of
the scene can be imagined.
