THB RACES At AGRICULTURAL PARK.

Roses C92), upon which we have al
ready commented This, despite the
warm claims made for Miss Edith
Whites snowballs Q62J and lie Marque
Roses Q61). But If there was to be any
displacement Of that judgment. assur-
edly the Pasadena lady, Miss White,
would command first place for her beau
tiful work. to which we invite attention
Of all lovers of fine art. It is of the very
best Of the order. Its finish Is exquisite
and it's delicacy something stimulating
to Imagination. Notably strong is the
drawing, especially manifest in the
vases or receptacles holding the flowers,
the roundness and cameo-like effect of
which are much commented upon
Hubaceks Gray Day Q65) is a strong
piece The sky is one of the best effects
of that kind ever hung In the gallery.
Won Perbandt has five oils. from la to
17S, both inclusive. The Landscape
O76) for foliage Is notable. Here is
the work Of an artist who feels and who
communes with nature, as is still more
evident in the mood of the sky in 17o.
These two, with 1T, Near the Lake. are
the gems Of the Won Perbandt collec-
ton.
J. D. Strong's portrait of Charles
Warren Stoddard 215) Is a canvas of
superior merit and great vigor. It's
strength Is only paralleled by what we
are assured is the accuracy of the por-
trait to the features Of the subject. F.
L. Heath. in The Wreck of the Ship
Elizabeth C21T and San Lorenzo River
(21S), puts on view two of the best
products Of his brush. While the for
mer is the more vigorous work. and pre-
sents us with a fine example Of marine,
with the sense of motion and the dash
Of the waves preserved, the latter, in
the richness and depth Of the foliage,
the tone of placidity and the success
with which the GOODNESS and quiet OF
the scene are conveyed, is the superior
work.
G. Chapel Judson, in four pieces, 235
to 23S, both inclusive, has hung excel
lent examples Of artistic skill and ma
tive ability. We do not recall earlier
work by this artist Neither his Laun-
dry Farm, while charming landscape,
nor his Low Tide, can take precedence
Of Sunset on the Marshes, a gem Of
art, and worthy of far more notice than
can be given to it in these hurried notes
The record-union., 1896-09-10

burgs and mOttled Houdans also create
an interest, the latter being especially
attractive, owing to the enormous
crown tuft of feathers, commonly called
q "top-knot." There is also on exhibit
q pair Of brown mottled Houdans,
which are very rare.
There is food for the mind of the
sporting individual among the fowls.
and the line Of game" chickens exhib-
tied is seldom equaled, even in COM
munities where cock-fighting is a
pastime- The string of birds show some
very fine points, and each of the cocks
looks as though 1t would be the pride Of
his existence to be turned loose and
allowed to fight away the hours in a
happy state OF pugnacity.
Last, but not least, the visitor should
not fail to see the string of good, old
time American Dominiques, such as
were reared by the Pilgrim Fathers.
They are worthy close inspection, and
for the person who wants a hardy
rustler and prolific producer the Amer
lean Dominique is the bird
Another rare feature of the exhibit is
string Of fancy-bred pigeons, and no
one can pass the coops Of the strutting
little fellows and fail to stop and ad-
mire. There is to be seen the French
Jacob1n, the male black and ruffled and
having white tail and crown, while
the body Of the female Is brown. They
are pretty birds, and while not large
are said to be very hardy in warm
climates.
The black and parlor Tumblers, while
well known, are still prime favorites,
while the 'owl' variety occasioned
much comment
The two exhibits of homing or carrier
pigeons, however, and the coops Of black
and white fan-tails draw the crowds.
The carriers are very handsome birds,
and the exhibit is said to be one Of
the best found on the Pacific Coast.
In another section Of the room is to
be seen a collection Of Bantam fowls Of
the purest breed. The midgets never fail
in drawing crowds of admirers, and
seem to be as important as when strut
ting around the poultry yard alongside
the Plymouth Rock.
A coop of "frizzlys" is also a drawing
card. and brood of young fellows with
f. ethers all on end create no end of
mirth among spectators.
The exhibits of turkeys, geese, ducks,
guinea-fowl and pea-fowl are also
very creditable, and taken all through
the collection is one of the finest ever
brought together in the West
In connection with the poultry dis
play the Monitor hot water incubators
and Mann green bone cutters attract
q great deal Of attention both machines

First Parade Of Premium Livestock
This Forenoon.
Immense Increase in the Attendance Yesterday
at Park and Pavilion.
fha Rock Drilling and Butter Making Contests Will be
On TO-Nlght-A Gldlce at the
Poultry Show.

That the people are appreciative OF the
excellent exhibits at the Pavilion was
shown by the large and greatly in
creased attendance last evening.
The butter-making contest, which was
to have taken place last evening, was
postponed until tonight, owing to the
fact that the electric motor put in yes
terday did not furnish sufficient power to
run the machinery Of the plant Another
and heavier one will be put in to-day,
and visitors are assured that the butter
making will be feature this evening
without fail.
If, however, there were no other spe-
Cial feature to occur this evening than
the rock-drilling contest, an unusual
attendance would be assured. The four
teams, composed Of Frank Esola and
a. L. Noce Of Amador City. ]. M. Kitto
and William Hancock Of Sutter Creek,
S. B. Harvey and J. Jefford of Jackson,
and James Browan and Ed Pope of
Coulterville, will each drill a half-upper
hole into a block Of Folsom granite
as far as possible in fifteen minutes,
the winners to take 5000, the second
best $3.50, and the third 500 Of the S4OO
hung up by the association While
Esola and Noce won the contest In
which the straight-down hole was
drilled on Monday evening, hands
down." there viii be no sure-thing busi-
ness about to-night's contest, as there
is vast difference In drilling straight
down and half-upper hole.
1t is expected that the Midwinter Fair
creok-a-j jacks, Kitto and Harvey, will
make a better showing than at the
former contest, and great interest is
taken In the outcome of the event.
The music for tonight by Cassasa's
Band will embrace the following selec-
tons which feature Of itself Is well
worth the price Of admission:

ART GALLERY NOTES.

ART GALLERY NOTES.
A remarkably fine study Is Robinson's
Sunset In Yosemite (5S). It's depths of
darkening color, the coolness of its TO-
liage, the golden richness Of it's sunset
tints, make It a picture Of great beauty
and attracttveneSs.
Miss Vivian's Monterey Q01) is a
charming canvas. The unfathomable
depth Of the blue vault Of the heavens
is suggested strongly in the sky effect,
and the soft warmth Of light bathing
the ruins in the battle-ground is al
most sensible.
Sarah E. BendeTs Violets Q03) Is q
gem; little gem, tbs true, but lovely
piece for any chamber wall. Especial
attention Is worthy to be given to Yel-
lands 130 and 131, Marshes and De-
parting Day. In the first the cloud and
water effects are of the highest order,
and in the latter the fading of the light
OF day Is simulated with fine success
The foliage sinking into the dark green
Of night, the last glow of sunlight bur
nishing cloud and sky, make up a piece
of Irresistible beauty.
Mrs. J. L. Huber's Moonlight Q33) Is
an imaginative piece, q breath of fancy
in the direction of creation. 1t is a very
small canvas. but one that does credit
to the artist The effect of the moon
beams upon the darkly shadowed pool,
and the reflection of the soft light, are
good. The one thing lacking is finish.
It Is noticeable In much of this lady's
work. There Is evidence of eegerness
to do rather than of patient devotion to
complete. Behind her manifestation of
1T lies a good order Of native ability
that needs only patient effort and rigid
determination to do little well. rather
than much hastily. The same lack of
quality in her work is noticeable in two
more ambitious pieces high on the
west wall. the one bold and vigorous
roarine. with a good rock effect; the
other low stretch Of scene. with a
rude structure in the middle ground
with quiet waters here and there dark
ling beneath a shading sky. The sky
and water are well worked, the distance
effect admirably obtained, and the at
mospheric condition made almost sensi-
ble. So really meritorious are these
and her other works that 1t becomes a
pleasure as well as duty to point out
that patience and more study in the
face Of nature would have given the
waves motion, have taken a certain
stiffness out Of the surf and have given
to the more placid scene to the right
more of warmth and feeling. All that is
needed here is concentration and pa
tience, instead of haste and a prolific
brush. Her water colors, At Alameda
C33S) and Marine 1880, are good The
sky IS a bit rugged perhaps in the first,
and needs toning to a softness that is
suggested rather than realized The
marine comes very nearly to the mark
that should have been attained 1t is
a good work.
Alice b. Chittenden's Tea Roses 63)
is a gem worth every cent of the mod
est price she has placed upon IL. Her
skill in still life puts her upon high
level as floral painter. We cannot

More Work Than Fire,

Shortly after IL o'clock yesterday morn
Ing an alarm of fire was sounded from
Box 3l2, located at the corner Of Twenty
eighth and Dock streets. the occasion
being a small blaze I'm the Durham Fer
tilizer-W Works. The damage is only about
So but IL required nearly four hours OF
hard work on the part OF the Fire Depart
ment TO eNtinguish the flames. The en-
gines were not needed, as the flames
were confined 10 the framework directly
over the boilers. The only way TO get at
them was by tearing away the weather
boarding and putting a small stream of
water on by means Of a force-pump.
Every few minutes a small flame would
appear somewhere. and would be extin-
guished The steamers were sent home,
and No 2 Truck Company was held to see
that every blaze that displayed itself was
promptly extinguished before It had
had a chance 10 make headway.
CHIEF Shaw said that he thought the
fire had been started by a nail getting
into the machinery and causing friction.
The fire was scattered about In this way.
Captain Atkinson had one of his arms
slightly burned while at work on the fire.

small affair there being only twenty-fodr
delegates present. However. a convention
was organized. Mr.. j. W. Fries. Of Salem,

AlcAdoo secretary. Resolutions were in
troduced and adopted, showing that the
convention had no intention Of antago-
nizing the regular State ticket. Some of
the speeches I'm the morning We're very
severe I'm their treatment OF the Chicago
platform, and the usua. terms, anarchy
and Altgeldsm. were applied TO 1t. At the
afternoon meeting the Executive Com
mittee was appointed. This committee IS
COMPOSED OF MIR. Louis DeLacroiX, II. u.

and N was the best OF the three. The
weather was superb there was not a
hitch OF any sort in the arrangements.
and over four hundred persons enjoyed
the delightful trip.
a large number Of rooters went down
on the excursion, and attended the two
games OF ball between Richmond and
Norfolk. both Of which were counted for
the latter team, though not won by SUI

3. Gordon, Of Georgia, was in the city
this morning from until II O'clock, be-
ing on his way 10 Saratoga TO lecture be-
fore the summer schools now being held
at that resort. The General declined 10
be interviewed on politics or the fnan-
cial question now before the people, and
said that he was practically out Of poll
ties and would absolutely retire from
political life at the end OF his present
term In the Senate. The General evinced
a great deal OF Indignation at the wrong
which he said had been done him already
by. a publication in a Baltimore paper
some weeks ago which purported TO be
an interview with him.
In referen>s TO his future he saidi
