OTHER FEATURES.
| There will be many new features, and
some strong old ones, at the Fair this
year. Both the pavilion and the park
will abound in things worth seeing.
Chickens always interest people, and
| it is said that the poultry show will
be one of the finest ever seen in the
West. In bulletin issued yester-
day, Secretary Shields says:
''All of the standard varieties will be
we'll represented. Chickens will be
shown from all sections of the State.
"A great deal of rivalry has been
caused among some of our leading
breeders, and many of the more pro-
gressive ones have sent to the famous
breeding yards in Eastern States and
secured fancy specimens, especially to
be shown at the State Fair. A great
canvas pavilion has been constructed
| by the society to accommodate the
poultry, and it will be brilliantly illum-
mated at night by electricity, and the
poultry will be cared for by experienced
men and every precaution taken to pre-
vent accidents and to enable the birds
| to show at their best. 1t is we'll worth
while to visit the State Fair to see the
poultry alone, as one who has never
seen a complete poultry show could
not we'll conceive of the variety and
interest which it affords, including all
shapes, sizes and colors, bred for sport,
ornament and profit.
| Every sign indicates that this city
will be a center of great activity dur
| ing the Fair. The entries at the Pa
vilion in the live stock classes are of
an excellence heretofore unequaled.
A great number of very fine hogs
| will be shown at the State Fair at
Sacramento in September. Some very
| fine animals will be shown from Los
Angeles County, from Kern, Ventura,
San joaquin, Sacramento and other
sections of the State. The breeds rep
resented will be chiefly Berkshire, Po-
| land China, Essex and small York
shire. Among the hogs shown will be
several imported animals, and former
| prize winners.
The State Grange has taken up the
fair and has appropriated day which
the State organization will celebrate as
| Grangers' day.
| The State Dairy Association will hold
it's annual convention in Sacramento
during the State Fair. and the live
stock breeders of California will meet
at that time and organize a State as
sociation.
The drummer organizations have
| taken a day, which by reason Of it's
novel and amusing entertainment, will
| be long memorable.
| The Native Sons will celebrate Ad-
mission Day on the 9th of September
at the fair, and the Pacific Coast Edi-
torial Association has given up a trip
to Lake Tahoe, and will hold it's annual
session at Sacramento during the first
week of the fair.
With these additions to the great
races, the Pavilion exhibits, the music
| and the entertainments. Sacramento for
the time being will be the amusement
| and instruction center of the State.
The cattle to be shown are said to
| be of an unusually choice character,
and to represent all standard breeds. A
| splendid herd of Herefords from Ne
vada will be shown. In this herd are
animals from the Queens farm in Eng
| land, prize winners from the Worlds
Fair, and the pick of American herds.
| A shorthorn herd from the same
State will be shown, which was select

from Massachusetts, Texas, Maine and
all sections of California will unite to

many miles to see, sa
+ The Holstein classes will be we'll rep
! resented; some of the very choicest
| bred Holstein cattle in the world have
recently been purchased in the Eastern
States by two rival California breeders,
and these will be shown at the fair.

will be made by Major Henry E. AL
