it, and Gf a gentlemany it will admit

monized beautifully with the trim

dreds of electric lights.
A little further was splendid show
ing of wire works by a San Francisco
house. Wire ropes, cables and coune-
less forms of mechanism were woven
into carpets, posts, pillars and other
articles of use and beauty. The effect
of this display was very pleasing, show
ing vast work and much ingenuity.
In the hardware line a local house
had a, very artistic and attractive ar
ray of their goods in a conspicuous
place. With many colored lights and
rare machinery their show was we'll
worth seeing. One of the curiosities
of the evening was an automobile, and
this attracted a great crowd and is de-
stined to prove an attractive feature
throughout the Fair.

fractions.

Pavilion receipts on the first night OF
the State Fair last year were 500. Pa
vilion receipts at the opening last night
We're 81, ,53S.
If the question rises, "Is the Fair q
success this year?" let the answer be
told in the figures above given.
Last nights opening was the most
wonderful in the history of the States
Fairs. When the doors were swung
open there was not sound of hammer
or saw, and when the multitude of peo-
pie thronged the spacious pavilion they
beheld a picture of imposing conception
and brilliant colorings. 1t was the
fruit Of toll directed by master hands
and every niche and aisle was a tribute
to the enterprise and public spirit OF
Sacramentans. The many had wrought
as one, and the result was success.
There was no hurrahing and blaring
of trumpets in anything seen or heard
in the pavilion last night, but in all
directions were the evidences of Cali
fornia's magnificent resources and the
Capital City's matchless enterprise.
When the people looked upon the great
array of unique exhibits, when they
studied the many features of art and
originality in the decorations and de-
signs they felt a just pride in the
State and in this city. Before them
was a living object lesson teaching that
in union there is strength, in organiza-
ton victory.
1t was the verdict Of the great, good
natured crowd that made d hurried
inspection of the big pavilion show that
it was instructive and beautiful. Seen
in its details, or viewed as a. whole, it
stood the inspection, and the result OF
the view was pleasing. Whether one
stood admiring the spirit Of the grocers,
who have combined in one magnificent
exhibit like brothers dwelling in peace,
or whether he admired the spirit that
led many individual exhibitors to outdo
their former records, the result was
alike creditable to the Fair. 1t was
another pleasing evidence that the citi-
Zens have not combined in their State
Fair Club in vain.
VIEWING THE SHOW.
Though there was an attractive mu-
sical and literary program, it did not
begin until the big audience had taken
a peep at the wonderful displays OF
mechanical, artistic and agricultural
industry.
The general appearance of the exhi-
bits was singularly pleasing, not only
from the moment one entered the great
pavilion and caught the first glimpse
of the many-colored lights, but when
he studied the exhibits in detail.
The reason for this good effect was
that the arrangement Of the displays
showed more work, better conceptions,
and e finer harmonizing of colors.
Conspicuous at the entrance was
large exhibit by a local dry goods
house, made in imitation of the grand
entrance to the Paris Exposition Its
effect was imposing and pleasing, Civ
ing an idea of the magnihcence of the
arrangements throughout the building
It was fit prelude to the sights within,
though it by no means exhausted the
beauty or took the edge from surprises
further along.
A Sacramento brewery's exhibit to
the left of this exhibit was arranged in
a striking way, a pagoda trimmed with

THE GOVERNORS REMARKS.
On being introduced by Director Cox,
Governor Gage stepped forward and
said:
Ladies and gentlemen: I am af-
forded great pleasure in attending the
opening of the Forty-sixth annual
State Fair upon an occasion in which
it becomes our duty to pay high tri-
butte to the skill and industry of the
producers of the splendid material re-
sources of the State. which should
Worthily succeed our grand welcome
and tribute to the brave soldiers VINO
have so recently sustained in battle
the glory and prestige of our State and
Nation.
'Auspicious events preceded this time
of rejoicing. Sufficient rain followed a
long and ruinous drought; productive
crops and Strengthening of the Nation S
credit occurred in a memorable era of
the Nations history, wherein the an
nexation of the Hawaiian Islands was
accomplished by victorious foreign
war which emancipated the people of
Cuba, added to our country Porto
Rico on the east. the Island of Guam
and the Philippines on the west. This
immense territorial acquisition is des-
tined to broaden our commerce and to
enrich California by giving a great
eastern outlet for her magnificent sur
plus crops and products.
1T is indeed fitting time that this
grand exhibition of the arts of peace
should follow in the wake of our mill
tary achievements and that in the
capital of the State the opening of this
fair should be the harbinger of peace.
ITO the people of Sacramento is due
the credit, in a time of war and agita-
ton, to call our attention to the neces-
sary duties of civic life Especially may

of the people of the State hearty appre-
citation and thanks for the great ef-
