space III every part Ol the agriculture eAA
pavilion for the coming State Fair.
Since the arrangement of the exhib-
its is to the show what architectural
designs are to a building, all interested
in the State Fair will be pleased to
know what they are to see when 1t
opens.
Beginning the story at the hrst OF
the story, as Dickens somewhere says,
it may be stated that beautlful sur
prise will greet the visitor as ne enters
the great pavilion. Just beyond the
main entrance, though some little dls-
tance down the main aisle, he Will view
a splendid entrance; it will nave the
appearance of marble in solldlty, pul
its graceful architecture and airy coli
umns will possess the flowing beauty OF
art. At the apex of the great entrance
stands Ceres, emblem of California
productive acres, and she will surmount
a structure that closely follows the
Romanesque type, with here and there
a suggestion of the classic Renaissance.
This imposing structure is miniature
reproduction of the grand entrance at
the main building of the great Paris
exposition. 1t is now we'll under way,
and the appearances are that 1t VIII
be one of the finest features ever seen
at a State Fair.
Beyond the grand entry Workmen are
now building a stage in the form OF an
ellipse. 1t is nearer the center Oh the
floor than the stages have usually been,
and the managers believe better view
will be obtained under these conditions
than under any other arrangement
This theater of amusement will prob
ably be painted like the White Squad
ron; and above its snowy surface Will
wave the colors of the republic.
The work of building booths is under
way, and Manager Dodge is using eVI
cry effort to induce exhibitors TO have
their exhibitions ready early this year,
A plan is under discussion by which 1t
is proposed to fine delinquents by for
feiting the So deposited for the eXhlb-
itor's account

there will be many splendid exhibitions,

forecasting what the show will be un-
der the roof OF the big building. The
