Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "California State Fair" in English language version.
Interesting as the exhibition is, we cannot but feel, on going out, that it must be but a meagre display of the resources of California. If so much can be called forth by so small an amount of labor, what an exhibition might we not have should a few of our farmers take the same interest in an affair of this kind that has been displayed by Mr. Shelton.
In our view — and we find the same idea prevailing among the business men of the city — there can be no room for doubt upon the manner of location. Every man with whom we have conversed, who gave an opinion, favored, most decidedly, dividing the Fair building and the cattle grounds. All agree that the former should be located convenient to the mass of the people in the city, and those who may visit it. No other kind of a location will prove satisfactory to the citizens of Sacramento.
The wind mill on the premises of Judge Heard, others in that vicinity and that used in the cattle ground during the State Fair, were thrown down and demolished. A stack of "shakes," in the vicinity of the latter (corner of I and Ninth streets), was stirred up and the shakes scattered in promiscuous confusion through Ninth street.
