Last Night.

Musical Programme for
This Evening.

A great crowd of people visited the

of the season. Indeed. many more peo-
pie could not have entered the big build
ing without producing an absolute con-
gestion of mortality.
The crowd was a sight of itself. sight
well worth seeing 'All sorts and con-
ditions of men, were very numerously
represented, and with very large pro-
portion of the better sort of humanity
good people," as the phrase goes, and
such as are a credit to Sacramento upon
the occasion of every fair meeting.
All the exhibits were inspected very
thoroughly by the multitude of sight
seers, and the inclination to get last
glimpse OF the many attractions in the
Pavilion was given full swing. The
superb music of Roncovieri's band was
greatly enjoyed-a fact clearly demon
strated by the vigorous applause given
each mum ber-and the audience seemed
unable TO get enough of the beautiful
melody.
