There are many more exhibits at the Pavilion than then, and the displays are better calculated to advertise the resources of the two counties most interested and to encourage . the development of their manifold and superior resources which have until a comparatively; recent date been almost total!y neglected in many of the most important branches, The gentlemen co::ifs prising the Pavilion Committee have most of them worked hard and intelligently to bring about the success of this feature. Especially is K Casper, the Superintendent, entitled to credit for the part he has taken. He has to the neglect of his personal business affairs early and late, and by his example and influence enthused others. He not only arranged ‘the plans forthe enterprise, but saw that they were carried out. There are Other men who could have accomplished what he has done in this matter, but there are noi taany who would brave done it at the cost of somuch time and energy. .

It has been a subject-of general remark . by visitors to the Pavilion since the Fair opened, that the display of fruits by the 17th Agricultural District has never been excelled, if ever equaled in this State. fenator Buck, who has perhaps handled as much fruit as any man in California, says he has never seen so fine peaches or grapes. J. R. Nickerson, one of the oldest fruit raisers in the State, and a man who took all the first ‘premiums on fruit at the State fair for years, gives it as his opinion that this 17th District can and from -does far excel any other part 2f the State in the pruduction of fruits. Mr. Bogue, a gentleman of large experience in fruit culture, says hat he finally settled gn a piece of land at Union Hill, Nevada county, near Grass Valley, where ne has ‘cleared 40 acres of ground ind prep: red it for a nursery, and he is now fully satisfied that he has + settled-_in the-right-spot, thatthe grapes, pears, apples, prunes, peaches and other fruits shown at the Pavilion by Placer and Nevada counties are the finest and best he hasever seen. There is not an article in the fruit line on. exhibition but what deserves a premium, but of course only a part will receive awards. Orchards at Lincoln, Newcastle, Ophir, Auburn, hPenryn, New England Milis, Bear River, Lowa Hill, Colfax, Durch Flat as well as different points in Nevada county are well represented. Everybody should spend at least a days at the Pavilion before it closes, and see for themselves what our county is producing. It only costs twentyfive cents tosee as fine a display as wasever exhibited: of horticultural productions. The names of suecessful exhibitors will be published in'a few days with the list of premiums, and this evening the red ribbon ‘will be attached to the first prize plates and the blue ribbon to the second.

Howarth, J. M. Walling and Wm Menner. The Tinvers were Dr.’ Smith and Mr. Newton. The initial race was the TWO MILE AND REPEAT RUN, Open to all, $50 entrance, $25 for feit, $500 added. In the podls Thursday night Moonlight sold from $6 to $11, John A at $9 and $10, and Index and Birdcatcher in the field at from $7 ‘to $10. Yesterday.afternoon before the race they sold: $80 for Moonlight, $13 for John A and the field at $15. The cause of John A’s downfall in pool values is owing to the popular old veteran’s bad condition because of over-work,!ong service and extended trips by rail teand from the Eastern States where two or three years ago he competed successfully with some of the fastest stock in the country. : First heat—Moonlight under 93 pounds drew the pole, Index earrying 110 pounds’ second place, John A with 116 pounds third and Birdcatcher with 117 pounds. on the outside. Birdcatcher took the lead when the starter’s flag went down. The other three traveled in a bunch the first mile, and then Moonlight, the gallant daughter of brave old Thad Stephens by. a pretty burst shot ahead and held the lead with ease to the finish, which was made in 3:37. John A came second by a:length, Index was third, saving. his ‘distance with difficulty, and Birdcatcher was distanced. The first mile was made in 1:49. At the close of this heat Moonlight brought $20 to, $5 on the field, but there was not much of a demand for the low-priced tickets at even these figures. Second Heat—They got away nose and nose, but Moonlight at once picked out first place, leaving second for John A.and third for Index. They got tothe first half in 553g, to the third quarter in 2134 more, and passed the wire the first time in 1:48!g. On the last mile they muintained the same relative positions, Moonlight going under a pull and John A doing his level best to overtake her. Atthe mile and a quarter Birdcatcher’s tail went up, showing that she was not equal to the emergency. Old Thad’s descendant came down the home stretch with head up and his rider sitting erect. Joha A’s mount used his whip vigorously, but. to no purpose for he was a full five lengths to the rear, while Index was in dangerous proximity to the distance flag. SUMMARY.

Doncaster sold favorite at $50, ‘Pasha at $18, and the others bunched at from $6 to $8. First heat—Doncaster had the best of the race from the send-off, but Pasha kept crowding him to the end, coming under: the wire just a length behind, and it looked for a while towards the end, as though the latver might take heat, as he traveled steadily while Doncaster wavered.

This evening the names of the successfui exhibitors at the pavillon will be read together with the atic les upon which premiums hive been awarled and the premiuuis paid-——‘‘Come up and get your money,” . The week has been a cold one for buyers of favorites taken all around. . ~R. B. Milroy, of San Francisco, owner of Manon, the great trotter that goes in to-day’s races, ar rived here yesterday. Constable Scott is’ conferring many favors on the Transcrier this week, the full and prompt publication of tle Fair proceedings being in a large measure due to his transporting the reporter’s notes from the Park to the printers. The draped hydraulic nozzle with the inscription,‘‘Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot’’ has again been accorded a conspicuous position in the Pavilion, It is alleged that some of the faro banks doing business at. thix city have had severe drains made upon them this week. Ondais al leged to have disbarsed $3290 in excess Of its receipts. A Broad street business man who for pastime Oceasionaily cultivates the acquaintance of the tiger is reported to have cleatied up between four and five hundred dollars in a limited period of time. ~ Last year the same ramors pre: viiled here about,the heavy losses of game proprietors, : 14 bow the rural sports were getting away with the imported sharpers. “One of the boys’? who stands by. the scribes’ shoulder as this is being written says there’s. nothing like people to keep on putting up their money as fast as somebody else can take it down. Speaking of lucky gamblers, the one who is reported to have had the best luck bucking faro this fair time is known by the euphonious title of Cariboo George. : The music furnished afternoons at the Park and evenings at the such talk to encourage ‘country-. Prove equal to the emergercy. [he more that is required of him the cooler and more quick-minded he becomes. He has a splendid corps of assistants and co-workers, inall departments, and they pull together with a harmony of action, that-secures the desired results ev-} ery time. There is talk of taking the mineral collection on exhibition at the Pavilion to the State Fair at Sacramento, and from there to Mechanics Pavilion in San Francisco. The talk should crystallize into action, and the representation of the District’s mining resource: should be added to soas to make it as complete as possible before taking it down. The expense would be scarcely worth mention: ing, and the results would be inestimably good. Claim owners in this section shonid attend to the matter at once. __ Lady visitors at the Pavilion never seem to grow tired of examifing the millinery and fancy goods exhibit of Mrs, Lester & Crawford, and even the sterner sex find much in it to admire. rade at the Fair grounds this morning at-10-o’clock, and the ribbons for those taking premiums will be affixed in front of the grand stand. This will be a feature of the Fair worth seeing. _ H. B. Nichols’ thoroughbred Holstein bull, Tehama, a strikingly handsome animal, attracts much attention. He weighs ‘over 2000" pounds, «having gained 600 pounds in less than two years. To-day’s trot between Manon, Frank and Albert W for $1,200 will be the principal racing event of the week. They. are famous ravelers, and will’ doubtless du their best. Many of the principal mines at this vity and Grass Valley closed yesterday, and more of them will suspend operations to-day, in order to give everybody a chance to attend the Fair. This action is what helps out the gate receipts. — Se Qe eee 6. Spilled Out.
