ments of considerable Importance, and
that her industrial development has kept
pace with her increased population. The
merchants have evidenced a very keen
interest in the parade, and hardly any
firm of Importance has neglected to avail
pie that it is alive.

ment company's pedal race, for which
the company has offered one pair of

falling over each other in Hazards pa
vilion. large number of booths are
in course of construction, and the indi-
cations are that the exhibits will all be
| in place when the doors are thrown open
to the public. The exhibitors are spar
ing neither pains nor money to make
their displays as elaborate and attrac-
tive as possible, and a glance at the in
terror of the pavilion is sufficient to sat
isfy the public that the home product
exhibition will be far superior in extent
and beauty of any display ever seen in
Los Angeles. Over 1000 electric lights
have been contracted for by the different
exhibitors.

say; for, however high party feeling s

always known that Victoria, Queen and

that, above all else she was constitu-
