The record-union., 1899-09-12

In spite of the fact that yesterday at
the Fair was devoted to no special So
ciety or order, there was a large at
tendance, and people enjoyed the races
and the big aggregation of pleasant
surprises at the Pavilion.
Defying the sultriness of the wealth
er, which, happily, grew pleasanter by
o'clock. nearly 5000 people witnessed
the exhibits and enjoyed the show at
the Pavilion last night. The receipts
of the first week this year were double
the receipts of the first week last year
The Sacramento County exhibit is
one of the best ever seen. 1t is a
splendid Illustration of the fact that
fruits and all growing things thrive in
this favored cline. Last night a night
blooming cereus, in Sacramento Coun-
tvs display, attracted hundreds of
people. The arrangement of fruits
and vegetables is artistic and the light
ing of the exhibit is magnificent. Large
peaches and pears abound, squashes,
tomatoes, grapes, grain and many
varieties of crops are a delight for the
eye to feast upon.
THE ADJUSTMENTS.
The amusement program was a COM
plete change last night and the people
We're delighted. Though the Ban
wards and Wizards were not there the
program contained many interesting
attractions.
There was a clever horizontal bar act
by f. Shenk and NJ Newbert of the
Sacramento Athletic Club followed by
a fanciful club swinging act by AL
kleinsorge and Rex Flanders.
Miss Pearl Hickman of Oakland led
cakewalk, in which the following par
ticipated: Miss Ollie Frost of San Jose
and Miss Alma Ferris of Oakland /;
Master Harry Mangels of San Fran
cisco, and Miss Eta Aronson of Oak
land.
Alma Ferris executed an Irish reel
and Miss Pearl Hickman. gave her fire
dance. Owing to some mechanical inn
perfection this was not so good as it
will be tonight and hereafter.
Wire acting by Stanley Flint and
Walter Billion was very entertaining
as was the tumbling by Shenk and
Newbert.
The electric cakewalk by Miss Pearl
Hickman and Eta Aronson wassa great
success. 1t will be repeated.
The cornet solo by Miss Franklin was
one of the best numbers of the kind
ever heard here. She has a fine tone
and wonderful execution. For an encors
she played In Old Kentucky" Miss
Franklin will play every night during

was up to its usual standard, which is
very high this year.

TO-DAY'S EVENTS.
This is Grangers' Day, and it is be-
lieved that the city will be crowded
