lead of Miss Musselman. There was also a fine display of roses, car- 

 nation, etc., b}^ A. B. Clark, of Orange. AVe think the custom of deco-

 future exhibitions, if there were room for it.

The session was brought to a close at about ten o'clock of Wednes- 

 day evening. The receipts of the fair were sufficient to meet all 

 expenses and pay all premiums in full, leaving a surplils of about 

 fifty dollars, a large portion of which was appropriated to the fund 

 being raised by the committee to secure information on citrus culture 

 in other countries. 



The Citrus Fair has been established as a permanent institution at 

 Riverside, and may now be considered a fixture. The third annual 

 citrus exhibition will be held at this place in February or March of 

 1881, under the auspices of the Riverside Fruit Growers' Association. 

 At that time the work of securing fruit and the attendance of fruit 

 growers from all portions of the State will be inaugurated at an earlier 

 day than heretofore, and more systematic work will be done. 

 Respectfully submitted. 



L. M. HOLT, 

 Secretary of the Second Annual Citrus Exhibition of Southern Cali-
