- SAN FRANCISCO PAVILION.
The City of San Francisco has erected a beautiful pavilion in the Model Street, and in it tire glories of the city and state are told in half-hour "picture talks" given in the hall at the rear. At the right of the main entrance is a very large relief map of San Francisco and its environs. At the left is a large hemisphere that shows the relation of the city to all the rest of the world. A handsome polished table is in the center. A room at the right, entered through an antique carved gateway, contains a fine collection of Oriental wares, such as carved ivory, embroidered and painted silk, bronzes, screens and weapons, in another corner of the building is a display of books and magazines, with other specimens of good printing and pages of manuscript. In the northeast room is a comprehensive exhibit showing the extent of the wine industry of the State of California, and near this is a model of a dry-dock and two steamships built by the Union Iron Works. The exhibit shows at once the civic pride of the people of San Francisco and the reason for that feeling.
