The swans of entertaining Visitor* in the great somber ot hoteUl, tad boarding boose*, at quite reason- able charges. Is a feature which wins a large patronage. Kentucky's exhibit or rraits last week was excellent, both in quality and quantity, owing especially to tbe lib-, •ml premiums offered. It included apples, poaches, pears, apricots, quints •ltd grapes of all variety common to •tropical climate. A prominent newspaper publisher Mid to your correspondent the other day: "One can here And enough to en tertatn and instruct for days, which is time well expended. Exhibits are well: arranged and displayed. There is both- a 'feast or reason and a How or soul,* something to attract the eye aad la-; erease our knowledge. Youth aud beauty can here be seen, from the blue- eyed blonde to the black-eyed bru-j| nctte." The gentlemau referred to bad evidently fallen la love with one •r more of Kentucky's handsome girls. Visitors are not annoyed by being dingdonged to desperation if they chance to look lata a show oasa of eurlosltles, as Is gaoerally tbe case at exposltlaas. There are many aod some valuable specimens given away of one ng aod mother as a matter of ad- rtlsing. • A t a w e l H t o a w a s p o o l o o t t o n c e o o e r n jjland a young bachelor was idly admir­ ing the deft manner la which a be­ witching young maid was spooling specimens the other evening, and as the ootton thread was being given away, he readied for a spool and was Informed "they" war* oaly presented to ladies.

People are anxious to fearn regarding tbe resources of differ­ ent parts of the country. This In some t measure accounts for the great inter- * .. fst that Is manifested In the matchless display of the productions of Call for :f',,;^yfils, occupy log over Afteen thousand |v * JfeetjJ floor space, made by the South ^ era nciflc Company, Tbe knowledge ofCalifornia and her resources posses- ^. sed by Mr. Charles B.

Amoag the most striking exhibits ire see a section eighteen feet In di­ ameter. cut ninety-six feet above tbe ground, from tbe first tree of the Seg- %toto giganter that was discovered, flrhla ts tbe Mammoth tre* of California 'itnd on examining this slice we lorm lipoma idea of the slsa of these tree ^plants. This tree was felled is 1866 f|§md all the wood Is perfectly sound, thus showing bow indestructible this timber is. | Also among the timber exhlblte we :||m a magnificent polished redwood plank six feet three inches wide, from the W. H. Ferry Mill & Lumber Co„ of *Los Angeloe. This plank Is valued at one thousand dollars. ; There 1* a large and interesting ex­ hibit af polished woods, among whfeh we see tbe red wood la aa Influlty af variety ol grain aad color, running ; through all sbadea, from a delicate : plak ts a deep browa. Besides the redwood, wa see specimens of Moon ; tela msbogaay, maasanlts aad a large number of the minor woods of Califor­ nia. The uses to which these different , -Woods may be applied are Illustrated by numerous samples, showing their adaptability to various Industrial pur­ poses. Tbe mineral exhibit Is tlpical la character, and although not large In comparison with other portions of the display, all tbe principal mineral re­ sources of the state are represented. As a portion of this part of the ex nlbit are two cubes, representing ra spectlvely tbe bulk of gold and ailvsr that the mines of California have yielded. The gold cube is fourteen feet three inches in height, while the silver one Is twelv* feet three laches In altitude. Space preclu Jes the mere mention of hundreds of interesting things.
