AN AH KIM. 
Anaheim was bolter represented ut the 
Fair this year than at any previous e* posi¬ 
tion. The display wo* large. well arranged 
and a success in every respect. The oulfnc- 
tion was made by Mr. S. 8. Smith and de¬ 
serves a longer notice than our apace will 
permit. We trust the result of the experi¬ 
ment will encourage the Annhr-imers to 
make an exhibit from their aectitm a regu¬ 
lar feature of the succeeding Fairs. 
Mr. Goo. R, II indo, a resident til Pla* 
cenliit District, near Anahrim, made an 
exceedingly fine display of fruit am] vege¬ 
table*. JI« wm awarded a premium of

SANTA ANA. 
tural and agricultural products could hardly 
be expected at this season of the year.

Shorb each made a good exhibit of their 
several brands of wine and brandy, and

consisting of pomegranates, Jigs, apples,

irrigation, Semi-Thopic California for 
throe best mountain watermelons, And hon¬ 
orable mention for several other articles

riant* Ana made an nxcellent showing at 
the Fair, but wo regret that the '‘swamp" 
was not better represented. We missed 
the big pumpkins of former year# and 
other immense specimens of tins' vegetable 
kingdom for which the swamp ha* always 
earned nil the palm. Vet They ware not 
wholly absent, for there were about hulf a 
bushel of Irish potatoes of the Burly Rose 
and Bromley varieties, each apeoimen of 
which weighed over four pounds. The field 
"■ which they grew was not irrigated once 
this year, the crop depending wholly upon 
the natural moisture. 
The Santa Ana display was in charge of 
Mr. Robinson of that place, who eared for 
Ins charge in u very acceptable maimer. 
The general display consisted of eighteen 
varieties' of grapes, pcara, «pp)„, f, R9< fine

BAN GABRIEL. 
The glory of San Gabriel lie* principally 
m her orange orchards and vineyards and 
DUARTE. 
This pleasant little selllt-meut located ill 
the foothill* of llie Sierra Madre mountains 
sent an interesting exhibit to the Fair. The 
collection was fliadfl by Mr. I,. Burn**, on 
whose farm most of the products exhibited 
were raised. We understand that tin- 
water supply of the Duarte is shortly about 
to be further developed, and we antic- 
ipati- an increase; in the number of beauti¬ 
ful homes in that section. 
Peaches, pomegranates, grapes, limes, 
quinces and watermelons were displayed 
on the Duarte tabic—all the fruit of the 
liimst quality and in good condition. A 
diploma for heat display pomegranates was 
awarded to L Barnes. 
LOS ANGELES CITY. 
There was a very large list of entrii't 
from Los Angeles, but the fruit exhibit wm 
painfully *mall. One reason for this wai 
the date at which the Fair was held. Loi 
Angeles is not in the “early fruit” bell. 
tot'tB J-. KTBsmut, 
Thu favorite florist of this citv, made a di*. 
play of tree furna, flowers and plant* of 
every description which called forth uni¬ 
versal admiral mu. Mr. Stengln may prop 
jrl-V be styled an anist in hi* vocation, and 
deserves the higheat praise for his superb 
exhibit. We d.mbt whether any eit v or 
town on the Pacific Count can boast of a 
landscape gardener or florist superior in 
ability to Mr. -Stogie. Tim following ore- 
m.unu were awarded: Diploma, silver as- 
ami *3o tq coin.

fornia,’' Mr. Bliss was awarded a silver

plumes.

limits, made a creditable display of fruits

varieties of wheat, in stalks, grown in Lai 
Angeles county, was an interesting feature 
of the Fair. 
THK HONRV AMD UKK EXIHMT. 
Although tho past season has been one 
of the most unfavorable for honey making 
ever experienced in Southern California, the 
Apiarists seem not to have lost heart, but 
were present in full force, fit the Fair, with 
a display of honey, lees, and beeswax, 
collected from Anaheim, Loa Angeles, 
Grunge, San Fernando, and other districts! 
Tu tlmae interested in apiary tlm hives of
