Something 6 to Please Almost
Everyone.
The Splendid Showing Made by
California Artists.
Pavilion Visitors Treated to a Concert
Each Evening.
4 Much Greater Attendance at the Park
Running Races Well Contested
To-Day'S Events.

There was much larger attendance at
the Pavilion last evening than on either
of those preceding. The ladies were out
in force and enlivened the scene by
their presence, and judging from ap-
pearances they were pleased as well as
pleasing.
While there were a number of new
features, some that have been prom
ised are still in allegiance, among which
may be mentioned the poultry exhibit,
which may be expected to materialize
in a few days.
Among the exhibits which attract
universal attention is that of the Bell
Conservatory. 1t is a genuine bank Of
shrubs and blossoming plants, while a
grotto in the center, surmounted by a
fountain, is the principal attraction.
Then, too, the exhibits of the two car
riage-makers, Meister and Hill, are both
worthy Of notice. These displays con-
tain the very latest in buggies and
carriages of all descriptions, and make
the spectator long to sit among the
cushions and do nothing but rest.
The exhibit of the Sacramento Cham
Der of Commerce is enlarged, though
not yet completed. The conservatory
connected with it is one of the finest ex-
hibits in the building.
A number of local photographers of
the city have very creditable displays,
the specimens on exhibit being of such
tone and finish as to compare favorably
with the best in the land.
Many new pictures have been hung
in the Art Gallery, and a number are yet
to come. The visitors last evening
showed their appreciation of the dis
play, and comment praise and criticism
passed current as rapidly as though the
place were a Royal Academy instead Of
a State Fair exhibit.
Several new pieces have been set up
in Machinery Hall, and the visitor
should not leave without first viewing
the results Of inventive genius there
displayed.
Several rival sewing machine compan-
les are out to show their wares, and
many spectators gathered to watch the
really expert seamstresses as they back
stitched tucked, rulIled, gathered,
cross-fred and-and sewed as If their
lives depended on it.
A number Of furniture dealers have
very creditable displays, as have most
Of the mercantile branches, while many
Of the trades and arts are represented.
Secretary Smith of the society stated
last evening that matters were moving
along smoothly, and that the Directors
had every reason to feel satisfied that
the exhibit portion Of the Fair would
be a credit 10 the State as well as to
all who had taken space.
TO-NIGHT'S MUSIC.
Those who attended the Pavilion last
night were treated to another fine con-
cert by Cassasa's famous band. In
deed, the music stand had more than
an equal division of the attention of the
audience, and Cassasa and his musi-
clans have firmly established them
selves as one Of the chief attractions
Of the Pavilion. The programme for
this evening Is as follows:
Grand Overture, 'Preciosa". .C. NJ. Won Weber
Cal Moroccan, sweet Kisses" ...-....- Nallstedt t
