It will be given as No. 2 in the second part of the programme. GENERAL FEATURES. There remain now but to-night and to morrow night, aud to-day and to-mor row, in which to visit the Pavilion, and to-day and to-morrow only for the Park. The stock parades will conclude with to morrow morning's display. Hut there is no true examination of exhibits at Lhe Park unless one visits the stock in its grounds, where it can be seen to advan tage, and much examined that does nut enter into the parades; as, lor Instance, the poultry and the penned animals, and a goodly number of horses that are not paiaded lor premiums, some being barred because not yet registered. 80, too, every one should make at least one daylight visitation to the Pavilion, when there is no crowd to interrupt ex amination, aud prevent inquiries and re sponses. Thelattendance in the great cruciform structure last night was good, the music ol Cassasa's band up to its high standard, and the general entertainment thoroughly good. The people appear to be just awak ening to lull realization of the exceeding merit of the art display, aud make it now more a stud}' than was done a few days ayo. It is in iruth the finest aud most varied art exhibition ever held in this city. It will be many years before so many foreign pictures of high merit will be grouped 111 Sacramento. Now that the county exhibits have re ceived the judgment oi the select com mittee to pass upon the merits of the dis plays there is common concurrence in the verdict, and Tulare people at the State lair are in a jubilant frame oi mind. It is no rellectiou upon Gutter and Sacra mento that they stood second and third: simply they did uot gather so varied an exhibition of their products. Both the Suiter and Sacramento sections should have a daylight inspection; examination cannot be satisfactorily made of them at night. It should be known that iv the art de partment no premiums are awarded. JSledals are given for the must meritori ous display in several classes, but this may mean also quantity in relation to quality. In the money awards the plan is that of distribution, not of premium giving. The society sets apart a given sum to stimulate an art exhibition. This sum is divided among the exhibitors to compensate them in some small degree for the trouble and expense of forward ing their pictures and likewise to encour age artistic effort. Artists, neither pro fessional nor amateur, rush at these State Expositions to expose their pictures to be placarded first best, second best, and so ou. Such placing really does barm when applied to art work and does not assist the public in its judgment. Beyond the medal awards, then, there arc money allotments, and, in distributing these, display aud merit are taken into consideration jointly. Thus, one artist showing ten pictures testifying to versa tility, capacity, originality and substan tial excellence, may receive a larger sum than an artist exhibiting but one or two pictures, though the latter, in artistic ex cellence, are much superior and perhaps not to be paralleled by anything in the gallery. So, too, the author of a group of live paintings of sucn high character as to admit of little adverse criticism, may receive more money in the distribution, as against ten of like classification, but which are not characterized in any in stance by very high merit, though none may be very poor. It is a difficult task to make these dis tributions, to nicely adjust the placing of the sums and consider the cost of exhi bition to the exhibitor, so as to encourage and compensate and yet not give to low ability any distinct recognition, nor yet omit to indicate to deserving workers the judgment of the art jury. In all cases a medal award is accom panied by a money award also, the latter being naturally the leading sum iv the class. The Art Committee last night indicated its judgment of the gallery by this dis tribution, foreign exhibits not being con sidered, as the society's premiums and awards go ouly.to exhibitor artists who are citizens or residents of the State: Amateur's Department—Silver medal to Mis.

Two charming bits oi color and good drawing and good taste are 336, "Still Life,** and 83$, "Morning," by Mrs. M. XL Tryon of this city, a well-known art teacher. They are not pretentious works, but speak plainly of the capacity of the artist. .So too does 310, "iioses," from the same brush, a very b«ndsome flower piece. Miss Kate Mansfield has a num ber of good works in the gallery, and among them we in viteaiteniion especially to 310, "loves," and ,i ;, "'Lilies." Carrie M. Blowers' "'Apples," ;>l4, Louise M. Carpenter's 2U;i, "Washington Alders," deserve attention, while the "Mount Baker, 1' ;Jla, of the latter is a canvas of more than ordinary merit. 2so. 45, in the Polish section, "Hares," is a strong piece by Chelmonski, and once took the errand prize at the Fans Salon. No. O'J, "Under the Influence of Opium." in the same section, is i>y Zmurko. It is one of the richest of sensu ous pictures. The detail is something especially good, but all else sinks out of consideration before the two voluptuous, half-roved beauties who are alar in dreamland under the effect of the danger ous drug. It is a canvas simply luxu rious in its warmth and suggestive of ex quisite "übliviousness." G. Cadenasso has in the extreme west gallery a very strong portrait in charcoal that ought to command the attention oi lovers of vigorous portraiture. Oscar Kunath's 12s, a head, is a line piece of art work and should be examined deliber ately. There is very little of homo work in the gallery that is as good as this by Kunath. Alice B. Chittenden's several pieces have Had reference already, but her 174, "Chrysanthemums," is so es pecially strong, so excellently drawn and so tasteful in execution, that thfe piece ae serves special mention that attention of art lovers may be drawn to it. But probably her 18i>, "Roses," will by most people be put upon a level of merit with 174. Mrs. E. Warren's "Avarice," 190, is a weird aud uncauny conception, but a very strong one. A bony, yellowish and repulsive hand protrudes from space, and ringers rusted, mold-covered coins that strew the foreground. It ia a very strongly-drawn and pointed creation. Miss Mary Hiukson's 203, "Chrysan themums," attrat-t deserved attention, but her "Autumn Landscape" and "Portrait 01 an Italian Girl," more than all else she has on the walls, testily to her native ability and artistic skill. The latter, 210, is notably good portraiture. Jennies. Jost has quite a good canvas iv 219, "i lowers," and in 311, "Violets," but has a better one in 205, "Oranges," though there is exaggeration in color evi dently. Her 292, "Koses," is very credit able. Louise M. Carpenter's 1 1X>, "My Neighbor's Garden," does not do her ability justice. Kaimond's "Bacchus," 274, is weak and exceedingly faulty. It is poorly copied and there is no evidence in it ot correct ideas of figure work being entertained by the painter. Omy a little less poor is Miss Eadon's "Chariot Kace," au overcrowded picture; an etlort to put a great subject into too small a compass. Mrs. Jennie S. Kefrow's portrait, :i7d, is unfortunate in the subject or in the artist. The latter has over-coiored and poorly drawn, which may exempt the former from any part in a work that is unat tractive. Miss L. G. Colemau's, 269, "Still Life," a violin and bow, is one of the best ama teur pieces of still life work that has been placed in the gallerj' in a long time —it is wholly good. Mrs. K. E. Chappie's 270, "A Study of Grapes," is crude, but shows that the amateur has capacity and taste to be developed possibly to a degree of much excellence. Mrs. _S. L. McCarthy's "Pomegran ates," 297, stands fairly well among ama teur canvases, but the artist cau do bet ter. Miss Calihea C. Vivian, in a char coal portiait at the end of the west gallery, north side, has an exceedingly strong work. It is masterful in its vigor and life. It is greatly to be regretted that Oscar Kunath's beautiful examples of paint ings ou china are not sufficient in num ber to entitle them to compete. Mt.-y will be found in the center of the art gallery iv a glass case aud are worthy the closest inspection. M. E. Eadon, we have said, iias not succeeded in <<il in her "C hariot Kace," but in her large crayon cast studies, 471 to 47S inclusive, "she proves that she has good taste in draw ing and patience and skill in execution, and thai the artistic spirit lies behind her work. Wallace Sawyer's collection of water color studies will be louud midway of the northwest gallery. Mr. Sawyer wus formerly a pupil and instructor in the .Sacramento School of Design. He is nos ses&ed of much ability and loves art sin cerely. The water colors are the series of rapid work evidently. They contain evidences of Mr. Sawyer's talent, though by no means testifying to his full capao ny. YKSTBRDA.Y'S RACES. Fast Goliiu for a Two-Ycvir-Old—Wood Falls to Lower His lieoord. Yesterday was by all odda the best at the Park since the State lair opened. There must have been ten thousand peo ple on the grounds.

It was Robert Williamson, and not Kobert Stepheußon who received the award for the finest fruit display. * Imported Millinery. If there is one thing more than another that pleases the feminine fancy it ia pretty millinery. Foreign millinery ia of necessity high-priced on account of the long distance it is carried and the tariff but to-morrow the Ked House will give the ladies of Sacramento and visitors to I the fair an opportunity of securing genu- ! me imported bats and bonnets at a great ! reduction. At the beginning of tbe sea- ; son this firm, to make sure of Laving the latest and best, imported direct from j Paris a number of pattern bats, from which to make duplicates, and these are now exhibited in a large glass case in tbe center of the millinery dopartment, and are perfect "love" of hats. A number of new style felt bats for misses and chil dren may also be seen, noticeable among which are the May tield. Kill, Viola and Gracie, which seem to take tbe lead, and are very pretty. All tbe latest novelties in trimmings aud ornaments, as well as ail the new and leading colors, can be 1 found here, and purchasers may rest assured that whatever comes from this I old-established house is correct. Kotaa* The wonderful and mystifying illusion, "Ariel," the woman who iloats through space, is drawing crowds of well-pleased visitors at the] Pavilion. "Galatea" is also shown in connection with the above. Dr. Lawton, the optician, whose ex hibit in the Pavilion is nearest the .Sacra mento County display, invites all to call and have their eyes examined nee. lie thoroughly understands his business, I and it iss pleasure for him to explain anything you want to know, lie was tbu only one to receive a medal at tbe Mid winter Fair. Don't tail to see the statue turning to life, "i'syebo" and ".she," with MorrU' illusions at the Pavilion. The exhibition ifl very pleasing and puzzling. WHERE IS MANN? An Orejjou Hovaeraan \\h<) Suddenly Dropped Out of Slsbc Friends of P. J. Mann, the weil-known horseman of Portland, Or., :ire greatly worried over ni>> sadden disappearance. Ou Wednesday evening he left some friends up tow v, saying iie was going to get a room. He had, k is said, -sijine c_:,f>uO on his person at tbe time, and tbe Tact that lie has not since been seen by his friends has given c >lor to tho bcliet that lie may have mot with violence. Mann's horse Trumont was to have gone in one of tbo races yesterday, and it was only when be failed to show up by 10 o'clock to nay the horse's entrance fee that attention was culled to his disap pearance. The horse did not start, be cause the fee was not paid. Friends of Mann at once notified the police, and ollicers were detailed to try and ascertain what bad become :>f him. Up to last nitjht their efforts had been without result, and several horsemen who were questioned in regard to the matter said they had not seen nor heard anything of the missing man. It is possible that he got a room some where and was taken suddenly ill, but if so it Is thought he would have sent word to his friends. If ho turned up last, night the police had uot been informed of the fact. ROBBED B^ A ROOMMATE. Edward Ilaeel Rises $1O Poorer Than AVheii Ho Went to lied.
