The California art and educational
exhibits are among the finest features
or the exposition. Half the gallery OF
the buildings is taken UP with these
displays There are paintings by Keith
Grace Hudson, Cadenasso Gambia, Jud-
son and many others famous in art
circles. The exhibition has been ar
ranged by Miss Eva Withrow. This
feature OF the exhibit includes a dis
play of ceramics, brasses and jewelry
of rare design, all the handiwork OF
Californians. No such collection from
the Golden state has ever been assem-
bled before.
The fair in general has made a most
pleasing impression. The central grouu
of buildings is most effective in its ar
rangement and is respondent in cream
and blue. with graceful lawns and gey-
serlike fountains and cascades.
The pay streak offers all that could
be desired. from a Nome dance hall tc
