dresses themselves will certainly de-

mento and the strangers within her gates
will hear both sides of political differences.
The board of directors, it is said, has tried

show.
Congressman James G. Mcguire will
talk first. He will speak next Monday
morning in the pavilion, from 10 to II
O'CLOCK, on Free Coinage of Silver and

racetrack in the afternoon.
On the following Monday morning
Judge ]. G. Swinnerton will speak at the
same place and time on ga High Pro-
tective Tariff and It's Relation to the We'll
fare of the People of California" The
next speech will be made on September Is
by D. E. McKinlay of Santa Rosa on THE
Free Coinage of Silver Without Interna-
| tional Agreement and Its Relation to the
Welfare of the People of California" Dur
ing the same week there will be woman's
suffrage speech by lady champion, who
has not yet been determined upon. This
intellectual innovation at a State fair is
expected to draw large crowds.
Senator Henry NJ. Teller of Colorado,
who walked out of the St. Louis coDven-
| ton, was expected to speak for free silver
during the fair, but nothing has been
heard from him definitely on the subject.
Tonight the largest crowd of the season
inspected the sights at the pavilion. The
pavilion has never lacked anything since
| 1T opened to make 1t resem Bile a real live
fair but spectators, and tonight they
were supplied. The people are beginning
| to come, and when they get there they
are glad they did not put off the visit
| longer. Every exhibit is in apple-pie
order, and there is as much to see in the
pavilion now as there VIII be next week or
the last week of the lair, barring that
| familiar barnyard fowl, the great Ameri-
| can chicken. 1t will come next week.
| The scene is unusually brilliant to-
night. The electric lights, in their many
| colored globes are almost countless. 1t
| is doubtful i: any other exhibition ever
| held in California has been as well lighted.
| The groups of people before the exhibits
and the bandstand are what set of the
scene. The atmosphere was mucn cooler
! this evening, and that had the effect of
| bringing the crowds out. In the gallery
were row after row of faces gazing down
on the brilliant spectacle below.
The pavilion is plentifully poIiced,
There is night watch OF six men and a
day detail of larger number. Only one
thing has been stolen so far, and that is
en-picture OF girl from the collection of
a business college. The police are having
| occasional hard times with the small boy.
| He seems capable of slipping into the
building through holes that would ex-
clude a drop of rain. This evening Young
America, in his incapacity to resist the
attractions of the interior of the big build
| ing, came through the roof and was slid
| ing down an archway to the gallery when
| spied by vigilant officer.
| Numerous watchmen are distributed
| throughout the building in the daytime
| and in the evening to see that none of the
exhibits are unduly fondled. The men in
the horticulture and vitioulture depart
| ment perspire heavily in their efforts to
| keep the small boy from connecting him
self with the fruits and nuts.
| This department grows in beauty each
passing day. More tall, graceful palms
have been added, and the scene is nearly
tropical in its beauty. The long, white
tables, laden with fruit in such variety,
| quality and quantity as only California
| can produce resem bles q vast banquet
! hall ready for its guests. The exhibit of
wines on one side OF this section is also
| quite extensive. The collection of nuts is
| almost irresistible and strong enough to
| break a pair of handouts. The peaches
| themselves blush in their plump cheeks at
! the picture of beauty that they make.
| Several well-arranged displays of min
eral water are among the exhibits They
| shine like columns and pyramids of crys-
| tai in the brilliant light.
A firm that converts the American hog
| into the juicy ham has caught onto the
craze of the hour in advertising its ex-
hibit. OF course the hams and their
labels are in evidence, but conspicuous
among them IS a bicycle, which will be
| awarded to the delighted person who
buys the successful ham. This is her.
aided as the chance of lifetime for peo-
pie who are ford OF hog and wheels.
Very fine displays of carriages and all
/ models of vehicles are made by two Sacra-
mento manufacturers. They are A.
Mester G. Sons and ]. f. Hill. Groups of
vehicles gittering in new varnish are the
first thing the visitor sees from the main
entrance.
Another very attractive hardware dis
play is that of l.. l.. Lewis & Co. In order
| to make the competition hotter in the
| hard ware line and to catch the eyes of the
crowd, they have two brilliantly illum-
| mated stoves in a high position doing
business as industriously as though it
were the night before Christmas and the
mercury ranging down at the point in the
effete East where huge base-burners are
| popular and never allowed to GO out from
| November to May.
Cassassa's band introduced novelty to-
night which brought delicate bushes to
the cheeks of the young ladies and caused
| the proud SWANS to smile with unusual
emphasis. In the overture was selection
entitled Sweet Kisses
After several very rhapsodizing stanzas,
| Vallstedt, the composer, suddenly turns
from the ballroom into the conservatory,
and there is where the title comes in. 1t
being less difficult and perhaps more to
the taste to initiate OSCILLATION in the.
natural way than with the bass drums and
the tuba, the band did it that way. The
clarionets and the piccolos added their
shrii scream, to which Tobin, who is a
married man, added the deep, the tingling
and the luscious melody OF the only from
bone. There was momentary interlude
of shy chances from bright eyes behind
fans in the gallery, unanimous applause,
and then "lhe band played on"
