The record-union., 1899-09-16

Yesterday was FOreSterS Day at the
State Fair. In spite of the fact that
the weather was warm the attendance
was large.
The Chinese baby show was a very
amusing feature at the Pavilion in the
afternoon, and the musical and dance
program in the evening was greatly en-
joyed by several thousand people.
There were many Foresters in the
Pavilion last night. They arrived
shortly before o'clock, headed by the
Exposition Band which played patri-
otic airs as the Foresters entered the
Pavilion, headed by Judge J. w.
Hughes, who is Grand Chief Ranger for
the State.
In spite of a crowded house at the
Clunie Theater, the circus and vaude-
vile show at Seventh and K streets,
= the attendance at the Pavilion was en-
couraging. Owing to the fact that the
Directors of the State Agricultural So
ciety were the guests of President
Spreckels at the Sutter Club, there was
nobody to receive the State Fair AS
sociation's special guests of the day
the Foresters. AS result there were
no speeches nor other exercises show
ing that any. special order had day.
The Foresters had no reason to be
ashamed of their night, however, for
in spite of circuses and banquet they
heard the music, viewed the exhibits
and went home without malice in their
hearts.
THE MUSIC.
An exceedingly fine program was pre-
sented last night Several request
numbers were played While it may
be true that many people prefer the
popular cake walk and rag style of
music. it is also true that very many
are devoted to what may be termed the
legitimate class of music, andh~many
favorable comments were passed last
night upon the bands rendition Of the
classic part of the program.
Not the least of the leaders duties is
the arrangement of his programs to
suit all tastes. He must sink his in
dividuality and, according to his judg-
ment and experience, so arrange his
music that no one may be slighted. The
programs of the season have been of
this kind. The patrons of the Exposi-
tion are indebted to the Board of Di-
rectors for a large, as we'll as a good
band. Mr.. Neale was instructed to get
all the men necessary for the occasion
SO that nothing might be lacking for
the entertainment of the patrons of
the Fair. While Sacramentos musi-
clans have received the first choice, the
best men from San Francisco, Los An
geles and other parts of the coast have
been engaged.
