THE EXHIBIT Is THE FINEST EVER
SEEN IN THE UNITED
STATES.
SUCCESSFUL EVENT.
MANY PEOPLE ATTEND THE OPEN
ING OF THE GREAT
EXPOSITION.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 28.-There was a
gleam of gold and green under the sheen
of thousands of electric lamps tonight
and fragrant waves rolled through the big
Hazard Pavilion tonight when the citFIs
fair opened. The beautiful deep-green of
the leaves of the orange tree contrasted
with the bright gold of the fruit and
everywhere were masses of flowers, exhal-
ing their sweet perfumes.
The orange show outclasses any similar
attempt ever made in California. 1t is the
peer of any of its attractive and successful
predecessors. 1t outranks anything of the
kind hitherto seen in the quantity of fruit
placed upon exhibition in the critical taste
displayed in its arrangement, and in the
elaborate decorations. The quality of the
fruit, too, is considered py competent
judges to be even better than in past
seasons, being weightier and the color
brighter.
Thousands of visitors thronged the i'm
mense hall, and the opening exercises
were successfully carried through.
The doors of the pavilion were opened
at 1880 o'clock amid burst of music from
Casassa's band, which poured forth a
food of melody until $3.50, when ex-Presi-
dent Daniel Freeman, the presiding offi-
Ger, introduced H. r. Smith, vice-presi-
dent of the Citrus Fair Association, who
in the absence of President A. H. Naftzger,
welcomed the visitors.
w. C. Patterson of the Chamber of Com
merce made short address on behalf Of
the organization under whose auspices the
fair is held. He reviewed the boundless
resources and marvellous growth of South
ern California and the work done by the
Chamber of Commerce in the interests of
Los Angeles and the south. He referred
TO the citrus fairs since 1881, the exhibit
at the Columbian and Midwinter fairs, and
said this far exceIs any previous exhibit
At the conclusion of the speech, Richard
Gird, managing director, in a brief and
appropriate speech, declared the fair open.
The sight that attracted unlimited ad-
miration was the high central electric
tower of white and yellow globes piled
high around with fresh fruits and bloom
ing flowers. GayIy decorated booths filled
special exhibits and each division was
piled high with special features.
The fair will continue for period of ten
days, and thousands of visitors from the
city and country are expected. Casassa's
band will play each afternoon and evening.
At the conclusion of the fair every effort
will be strained in behalf of La Fiesta de
Los Angeles.

BENICIA'S Big DRYDOCK
The LARGEST STRUCTURE OF ITS
KIND ON THE PACIFIC
COAST.
IT Is TO BIZ FLoATED TO AND PER
MANENTLY LOCATED AT SAN
FRANCISCO.

BENICIA, Feb. 28.-The largest wooden
drydock ever built on the Pacific Coast will
be launched from the shipyard of Captain
Matthew Turner at Benicia on March s.
1t will be taken to San Francisco and put
in position at the foot of Spear street for
the California Drydock Company, for
which it was constructed. Its magnificent
proportions, excellent material and perfec-
ton OF construction were fully shown and
explained to the CALL correspondent by
William Mears, who has been master car
penter at the Benicia shipyard for eleven
years.
One hundred and seventy men, includ-
ing 105 carpenters, have worked on the
great drydock since last September One
million five hundred thousand feet of Ore
gon lumber, 100 tons of iron. 4otons of
coppes and % sl00 pounds of yellow metal
have been used in its construction The
length of this dock is 301 feet; depth of
hold 10 feet inches. In this hold the
trusses are Ia by 20 inches in size, held by
eight iron straps each weighing $50 pounds.
The plank forming the main deck is five
inches thick. The hold is coppered six
feet eight inches from the keel up, and
over the entire outside of the hold to a
depth of ten feet nine inches it is covered
with sheets of yellow metal, which is an
amalgamate, principally copper, such as is
used on the hull of most sea-going vessels.
These sheets of metal are each kept in
place by sixty copper spike nails.
The pumping plant of eight pumps,
which is guaranteed to lift Q, ,250, 900 gallons
of water in two hours. is wonderful
The cost of the dock, which will accom-
modate a steamer of 800 feet in length, is
about 5000 900.
Being without a rudder it will require
the services of several tugs to get it to its
mooring place at the foot of Spear street
On March when it is slipped, by means
of its creased timber, from the adjustable
scaffold on which it has rested during con-
struction, into Carquinez Straits, all Be-
nicia will be out to the shipyard. The
men from the agricultural works and the
tanneries are thinking of taking hall
holiday in order to see this great drydock
float away to San Francisco.

SANTA Cruz, Feb. 2s.-WilIam Won KIM
Ter, who is in Jail for practicing medicine
without license, who claims to be a Ger
man baron and to be related to Prince
Bismarck, is disappointed because Edith
Shepard, the girl he was engaged to, re-
fuses to marry him. He had a marriage
contract drawn, but she now refuses to
sign or have anything to do with him
She claims that she was under hypnotic
influence when she consented to marry
him.
The "baron" has tried to reach her by
telephone, but she refuses to talk to him.
Won Kinzler is 45 years old and the girl
is. He says that he does not want to
marry an American heiress, preferring a
poor girl if she returns his love. This
morning he was indignant toward the
complaining witness in his case, saying
that if this had occurred in Germany he
would challenge the complainant to duel
TO avenge his honor, and he would do so
here but for the law.
