Excellent Outlook for the
Fair Next Week.
The Number of Visitors is Now
Daily Increasing.
Yesterdays Attractions Were the
Stock Parade, the Races and
the Rare Exhibits.

each and every one attracted crowds
of people during the evening.
One Of the drawing cards is the pOul-
try exhibit, which is made in the tent
annex, and poultry fanciers should not
miss the opportunity to view specimens
from the first henneries in the State.
The exhibit is one of the best ever
seen at the State Fair, and an ex-
animation viii show what has been and
what may be done by careful breeding.
White, Rogers & Co. exhibit a Will
fey ore concentratOr in Machinery
Hall, and mining men can do nothing
better than give it a careful examina-
1ion. Only two Of the cOntrivances are
IN use in the State, and it is claimed
one ot them can handle the pulp from
u fifteen-stamp mill.
The exhibit of the State Dairy Asso-
citation continues to attract scores of
visitors, and great interest is mani
Tested in the machinery and the meth
-ods employed by dairymen.
The music last night was Of high
order and was thoroughly appreciated
by the large audience. My Beauty
Waltz and the Interstate March," by
Mrs. Tray-Perry, were roundly ap-
plauded and the Celtic strain showed
itself in the crowd when the strains of
'Patrick's Day. and 'Skddereen" were
played in the potpOurrf of Irish airs.
The interstices in the former air were
filled IN with genuine Kerry yells by
members Of the band, and a casual Wis
itor might have imagined, for the mo-
ment, that he was in the midst of
DOnnybrook fair.
Special features in tomorrow nights
Mr.. Keller and a euphonium by the
same gentleman, and E. w. Kent will
render the "Paderewski Minuet"
Solos viii be played every night this
week, while on Wednesday the great
chorus of 225 voices will sing Verdi's
Anvil Chorus" with anvil accompanf-
ment, and KeIlar's American Hymn"
on Friday night the Gloria" " from Mo-
zart's Twelfth Mass" will be sung
The high class of the music is thor
Oughly appreciated, and Band Leader
c. A Neale is the recipient of hundreds
of personal compliments each night,
many of them coming from strangers.

very pretty canvas. Won Reibandt this
year presents the excellent works 10
and II, "A Cool Glade" and a sketch,
both in his best style. J. NJ. Candles
24. Interior of st. Marks" is one of
the better works of that artist: and his
Spring C33), is another, a very happy
conceit and artistically developed
Bloomer has two canvases, AZ and 4S
with the same title, Coast of Eng
land" and a third, 40, American Riv-
-er." The second is the best of the
three. They are all superior works,
and notable for the handling and the
drawing. Martha Patterson in g.
wild Flowers" has a very handsome
canvas. delecate in color and finish.
No. 142, Roses by Alive Levigne. is
very skillfully done, a strongly attract
i've work, and Elizabeth Strong's Moss
Beach" Q50 is an effective landscape,
not equal to her fine work in animal
life, but good canvas. Sidney Ar
mer's FISHERMAN" Q64), is so good a
piece as to be worthy of especial exam
ination. Miss Carthea Vivian's ''Blos-
SONS" (219), is in her best style, and
her Daisies (222). testify to the YER
satility and refined taste. Edith Whyte
has six flower pieces, 227 to 232, inclu-
IL,
floral work in the gallery.
Among the very large and exceeding
ly interesting collections of sketches by
artists we take note especially of Ar
mer's 239, Mrs. Menton's 242. Stauss'
243. Mrs. Gelwick's 260. Hudeaceks
256. Miss Vivian's 247 (Which is a his
toric piece, Mrs. Gelwick's 279, "Clin-
ton Station Oak" an excellent study,
Martha Patterson's 2S2, c. Dalton
Bonds 2SS, and Miss Carrie Yoerks
266, study of birds
This is not to say that there are not
others of special merit in this collec-
tion, but those noted impress US most
CANDLES >, is evidently misnamed
on the catalogue. 1t is a milkmaid
surely, and a strong picture also.
Gremke's 22, Yosemite, we are inclined
to doubt. 1t impresses one with the
idea that the artist did not see the VAL
ley, or if he did that it did not impress
him so deeply as it does most people.
The picture fails TO awaken any enthu-
siasm.
Candles Interior Of st. Marks C2D
Is excellent architectural work and is
notable for its strength of color and
vigor in drawing. By inadvertance H.
Alexander's 30, '.Serenader" was cred
ited with remarks not intended. 1t is
crude and raw. albeit this departed art
6st has done some good work.
Miss de Neale Morgan's 50. "A Coun-
try Road" is a good canvas, notably
in the drawing. The works of a group
of the Sacramento School of Design are
catalogued under one number. 267, but
the name Of each artist is now placed
in bold letters upon each canvas. tt
was a mistake that the names We're not
catalogued. Miss Yoerk's 266, a study
of birds, is an excellent canvas and
wins for the young woman's skill warm
commendation.
A little water color study by Mabel
Baum ''Massa Joe,'' 297, is a charming
bit and full of humor. Clara Z. Cur
