148 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



FOURTH DAY. 



[From the Record-Union of Friday, September 24th.] 



The fourth day of the annual exposition of the State Agricultural 

 Society, like the three preceding ones, was a success. Socially, finan- 

 cially, and beneficially, the Fair has been a complete success thus far. 

 The exhibits are many, good, and full ; the stock superior in number 

 and quality to that of all previous exhibits; the Pavilion more attrac- 

 tive than ever before ; the races without material blemish, and their 

 conduct admirable ; the direction of the Board of Agriculture pleas- 

 ing to the people; the patronage liberal, and in all other things there 

 has been a gratifying and creditable result, and the outlook is that 

 such will be the final verdict. 



AT THE PAVILION. 



The Pavilion was opened at seven o'clock a. m. yesterday. During 

 the day the attendance was exceedingly good. In the evening the 

 attendance was very large. The Honorable Horace Davis delivered 

 the annual address, upon the subject of an "Agricultural Bureau for 

 the Pacific Coast." During the evening the Board of Directors of 

 the society held a meeting. A communication was received from 

 the San Francisco Bulletin, presenting to the society a large pic- 

 ture handsomely framed, of the great American trotter, St. Julien. 

 The picture was received by the Board, and thanks returned to the 

 donors. 



The silver and gold medals of the Agricultural Society, to be 

 awarded at this Fair, were yesterday received from the manufactur- 

 ers, and will to-day be on exhibition in the case, in the small upper 

 hall, where the prizes for the ladies' tournament are shown. 



The receipts for yesterday were as follows : at the Park, two thou- 

 sand four hundred and thirty-one dollars and fifty cents; at the 

 Pavilion, eight hundred and eight dollars and fifty cents. On Thurs- 

 day of last year's Fair the receipts at the Park were one thousand 

 seven hundred and seventy-one dollars; at the Pavilion, eight hun- 

 dred and forty-five dollars.
