On Sunday afternoon and evening
next Cassasa's famous band will give
two grand concerts, the selections for
which will be the best heard here in
many a day. These concerts are to be
special features, and the State Fair
tickets will not be available for admis-
sion. The charge has. however, been
placed at the small figure of twenty
five cents, which should insure large
attendance.
The many thousands who have been
charmed by the music Of this band of
f1rst-class musicians ever since the fair
opened will surely avail themselves Of
this opportunity.
IN THE ART GALLERY.
1t will be noted by visitors that the
Art Gallery is this year lighted by a
new process under the direction of the
Sacramento Electric, Gas and Railway
Company. The new method is the use
of acetyline gas, a comparatively new
discovery in the interests of economy
and general adaptability. This gas is
evolved from a calcic carbyde, and in a
small machine that may be placed In
any house. It Is claimed for this gas
that it is free from offensive conditions,
and that it gives a better and stronger
light with less gas expenditure than
coal or water gas. In the case of the
Art Gallery the long lines of pipe are
mounted with half-foot tips or burners,
only half the number being lighted,
where formerly there were five-foot tips.
Yet the half-foot tips give a strong,
steady, white and very soft light, with
just enough Of the yellow tinge to make
it desira BILE. Here is a claimed saving
of ten to one in the matter of foot burn
ers
This new light is attracting much at
tention at the East, and is being widely
introduced. In some cases it is mingled
with other gas as a money saver. In
the exhibition of it in the Art Gallery
less success has been attained than If
the conditions were more favorable, for
the gas has to be forced through old
one-inch pipes, instead of half-inch, as
demanded by the machine. The result
is that not sufficient pressure can be
obtained to produce the light at its
best It would, 1t is claimed. be a de-
cided percentage stronger and clearer
were the gallery pipes but half an inch
in diameter.
Resuming the notes of pictures, we
find p to be still life by M. Strauss in
three panels, an exceptionally good
piece, but we confess esteemed higher
by the artists than its merits warrant,
positive though they are. From II to
20, H. r. Bloomer has fourteen Of his
best pictures on view. They stand
greatly to the credit of the artist. Nota-
bly, strong and well drawn is IA, Mount
Tamalpais, and 25, Old Church In Eng
land.
Grace Hudson's Pomo Dancer 900 is
an excellent example of character paint
ing and is good portraiture. Cadenasso's S
Study of Roses (31) Is a thoroughly good
piece of work as are also the Roses of
Mary Herrick Ross (3S). Her After the
Storm 800 is indicative of ability to de-
pict nature in varying moods with a
high degree of skill. Chris Jorgensen' s
oil portrait (3D is superior, one of the
best canvases we have seen with this
accomplished artists signature. Huba-
cek's Tea Set (42) does not impress us
as an especially praiseworthy effort for
such an artist, though it had special IA
vor at the Midwinter Fair, but his Cali
fornia Fruit (43) is an excellent thing
and adds to the credit this artist has
already gained in the critical world.
