California at New Orleans and the Exposition Art Gallery
A feature on the Exposition Art Gallery crowds highlights “Bracing up” a 12 by 24 inch realism of a toper and his cat. It then discusses Thomas Hill’s “The Last Spike” with figures of Sanford and others at the Union Pacific event, and shifts to California’s exhibit at the World’s Exposition. It emphasizes the state’s agricultural and horticultural prowess, grain and seed displays, 18 foot corn stalks, and a private Bidwell exhibit with many grain samples and a Young harvesting machine model.
