There was such 'kick" from the per-
sons caricatured that the board of di-
rectors of the agricultural society to-day
ordered the collection removed. Tonight
there was no crowd around the pictures,
and there was blank space on the wall.
Shortly before noon to-day Frank M.
Woodson, son of one OF the cartoon sub
lects, met Chris Weisel Sr. at Eighth and
4 streets. The young man had blood in
having inspired the cartoon on his
father. The elder Weisel replied that he
was not responsible for the work of
Welsel fills, but young Woodson repeated
and emphasized the charge. Owing to the
intervention OF by-standers no blood was
spilled.
One of the living attractions at the fair
is Vahan Aslanian, young Armenian,
VINO has been in this country only three
weeks Isaac Banyakar, an Armenian,
known to fame in San Francisco for hav-
ing named his first born, girl, California,
ana his three weeks old son McKinley
banyakar, has an exhibit, and he points
with native pride TO this new Immigrant.
Aslanlan is husky young fellow about 81
years of age. He is attired in Bedouin
suit with green feather in his cap. He
Drlstles With long and wicked-looking
knife such as the Armenians use in max
Ing their feeble fights against the Turks.
He is also heavily laden with cartridge
belts full of cartridges about three inches
long.
Aslanian is always the center of a crowd
a I;n6 p ne seems to enjoy 1t. In broken Eng
ilsh he tells wonderful stories OF the fights
ne has had with the Turks in his native
town of Marsodan.
He attended an American missionary
school there and picked up little Eng
llsh. He corroborates the published
stories about Armenian girls and brides
being carried off into the mountains by
the cruel Turks. Upon one occasion some
OF his own female friends were among the
number.
Banyakar also has on exhibition Califor-
MA and Mckinley Banyakar.
The electricity with which the pavilion
Is so brilliantly illuminated is generated
by the Sacramento Electric, Gas and Rail-
way Company at Folsom, twenty-five miles
away.
Peary's expedition 10 the North Pole is
unique exhibit by Weinstock, Lubin g.
Com pany. 1t is realistic Attic scene,
with Heating lcebergs and foes of ice
thlckly peopled with little fur-clad peonle
representing Esquimaux and members of
the expedition. at one extreme of the
picture fight between a polar bear and
an Esquimau is going on, while on pin
nacle at the other end OF the scene ia a
email house with illuminated red win
dows, which represents Peary's head
quarters.
On the pinnacle of an iceberg float the
stars and stripes, and at one period, while
tnere was an admiring crowd before the
scene, CasSasa's band happened to pIay
The Star-spangled Banner" The crowd
appIauded appropriately and voice was
lifted up with these words: "Nansen amt
in it," --
Inc ngures are seen to move on the ice
and behind them a miniature ship rocks
on the waves OF the cold ocean. At repu-
lar intervals there is the red and yellow
nash OF the aurora borealis over it all.
Among the exhibits are bicycles almost
without number. One firm has a negro
dummy riding an old-fashioned wheel

scending an angle of forty-five degrees
