People Noekng to tho City to Witness
The Closing Events Of the
State Fair.

Crowds OF people came to the city
yesterday to witness the closing days OF
the State Fair, and the attendance at
both Park and Pavilion was large. The
attractions for the remainder of the
week will be Of a high order, and the
directors anticipate that they will have
big crowds to handle. However, the &C
commodations are equal to almost any
emergency, and none that attend either
branch of the fair win experience any
discomfort.
Interest in the Pavilion exhibit does
not decrease in the least. There was q
large attendance last evening, many OF
the visitors being persons from ABROAD
who had not before attended. They
spoke in high praise Of the beautiful
exhibition
It was "churning day. last night at
the Pavilion, consequently the dairy
department was thronged with visitors
eager to witness the modern processes
OF handling milk and making butter
The man who invented the dog-churn
thought the world would have to stop at
that, and his neighbors agreed with
him Little did they dream that their
progeny would ohurn by lightning, and
about as quickly too.
We eat the butter on our bread In the
good old way, but the sdmmtrg and
the warming and the cooling and the
dashing Is thing Of the past Even
the cat is not allowed to lick the cream
now.
When pure sweet butter is the topic
everyone Is interested, and last night
there was in attendance butter consum-
ers, as we'll as butter makers. 1t would
be difficult to conjecture how the meth
ods used in this department could be
Improved on 1t viii undoubtedly be
only a short time when creaIneries are
esta blished all over the coast, as they
are throughout the Eastern States. TO
make good, sweet and wholesome but
ter certain appliances are necessary
which it IS not practicable for every
farmer to possess
In the East the farmer milks his cows
and the creamer takes the milk from his
dairy house and returns the milk bereft
of the cream Each month he receives
a check for the butter made from his
product. The creamer tests every COW
and notifies him of their worth, and he
can tell exactly what Is the profit OF
loss Of his dairy each month. What IL
new to the people who are now visiting
the dairy department Is well understood
by every farmer In the East. In this
respect California may be said to be
somewhat behind the times, though
there are now quite q number of cream
cries In operation.
IN THE ART GALLERY.
In the south wing Of the Pavilion
upper floor, very near to the entrance
TO that wing on the east side, is an up
right case that contains work properly
belonging in the art department,
though not catalogued there because II
came In too late. The case Is very
handsomely and neatly dressed, not
over decorated, and 1t contains paint
tngs Of several kinds. There are flow
er pieces in oil and water color, land
scapes, figure pieces. etc. 1t is all Of a
good order, indicative of a refined taste,
native ability, art perceptions and an
improving hand. The work Is by Mrs.
Frank Gray Of Sacramento, and should
