crowd that has yet been gathered in
the Pavilion to see and hear the good
things that are offered at a small ad-
mission fee. Everything conduced to
make the night enjoyable-throngs of
happy people, scores upon scores Of
handsomely arrayed ladies, music such
as kings might delight in hearing, and
countless forms Of the ingenious de-
vices made by mankind in workshop
and field.
The music last night was especially
good, though the attention was not as
good as it had been on previous nights.
Some Of the numbers were encored
with spirit.
One of the novel features of the fair
is the exhibit of the telephone compa-

the instruments. The Sunset Com
pany's system is so arranged that
bands Of music in San Francisco may
be heard in the Pavilion, while the Cap
