March,
Yesterday was Los Angeles County day
at the Fair, and from the crowds of peo-
pie who craned their necks to view the
huge heaps of golden fruit and good
humoredly jostled and pushed each other,
it would seem as if al Southern California
had turned out to do honor to the Angel
City's exhibition.
In the Afternoon the children of the
Boyle Heights Orphan Asylum visited the
Fair, and the way in which the little pa
rentless tots wandered here and there
through the piles of golden fruit timidly
touching them with their tiny fingers
and uttering shrill cries of satisfaction
and delight, fully repaid those who wit
were present, and as they passed out of
the building on their return home each
received an orange as memento of the
occasion.
i Last night great interest was centered
II the auction of the boxes of oranges
which had been entered for the $50 Cham
Der of Commerce prize. Shortly after
o'clock e. f. c. Klokke assembled the base
of the tower and in a few words an
nounced that the auction would take
place and introduced Auctioneer Matlock.
The first box went for S. and several after
followed at varying prices.
Then the event of the evening was an
nounced. Mr.. Matlock put up the box

ually the figures rose until $24 was reached,
which was made on Mr.. Pattersons bid.
