An Interesting Object Les
son for Everyone.
Instructive Demon STATIONS for
the Husbandman.
The Racing Contests at the Park are
of q High Order.

A magnificent spectacle was that pre-
scented in the New Pavilion last night,
and the Improvement over Monday
night was marked.
Many more of the exhibits were IN
place than on the preceding night, and
while the attendance was light, there
was more than enough for visitors TO
see before the bell warned them that
the closing hour had arrived.
Most Of the State horticultural eG-
hibit is ready for visitors, and to say
that IT is better than was ever before
made by that department, would not
do it full justice It is entirely along
new lines, and is a relief because Of
oddity in design and taste in arrange
ment The fruit display is especially
good and the booth set apart for the
olive industry is particularly interest
ing
The lovers Of the beautiful were given
a rare treat in the art gallery where all
of the pictures entered were in place.
Here, too, the arrangement, compared
with that of former years, has been
improved Care has been taken in
hanging the pictures so as to have the
best light effects, and in this respect
very little is lacking. The paintings,
all Of which, except a very few special
pieces, are by California artists, are
claimed to be much better than any
collection ever exhibited here.
Secretary Smith Of the State Board
of Agriculture is authority for the
statement that all exhibits will be COM
pleted tonight He said that because
they were not all ready Monday, nor
even last night, is no fault Of the direc-
tors. but of the exhibitors themselves.
Tonight, then, according to Mr.. Smith,
visitors may see all there viii be TO
see in the big building, and an increase
in attendance is accordingly expected.
Too much credit cannot be given c.
A Neale and his excellent band of
thirty-five musicians. The music pre-
scented is generally considered the best
ever heard in Sacramento. Lovers of
music will not be disappointed if they
give an entire evening to one of the
evening concerts, and are more than
apt 10 return to hear the next.
The band stand is located in the west
ern wing Of the big building, and the
music penetrates to all quarters.
One of the features Of the music to-
night win be Sousa's ''Semper FideliO, -
in which the band of thirty-ffve, assist
ed by the Capital City Drum Corps. Will
appear Howard Smith is captain and
J. W Gee manager of the corps. The

The tickets for the chorus viii be
distributed to-day at TO street.
None but those who are on the list. and
who have attended rehearsals viii re-
ceive tickets. The singing takes place
tomorrow, and there will also be
concerts on Wednesday and Friday of
