icy tracks and the heavy load. When

the top of the hill. Tho brake slipped before
it had gone but few feet, and it came down
like flash of light and crashed right ulon
the second car and droveit with tremendous
force upon the single car. Two OF the

of the city made speeches, and a poem was
read when the exercises closed. The cxDositiOn
orchestra with the NJ xican band entertained

the city was brilliantly Illuminated, the sky
was brilliant with sliyrockots and the air re-
sounded with explosions of gunpowder The
universal EXPIRE sOsl was that the day had
been complete success and n credit TO the
management of the great Worlds exposition.
Among the moro active exhibitors who pre-
sented II complete array OF exhibits on tho
opening day were the States OF Oregon, Colo
RADIO, California and Nebraska and the Ter
ritory of Dakota. Nebraska's exhibit attracted
universal attention, being magnificent in
vincing in its array of cereals and
statistics. Some of the Western railroads
have also made fine displays, and scores of
manufacturers from the Eastern and Middle
States have given proof of in genuity and in
terest in the success Of the exposition by send
ing large supplies from their factories and
workshops.
The South shows up with wonderful COM
petcness her mineral, agricultural and manu-
featuring resources and is evidently taking
the greatest pride in the success OF the eX-
position and in the results which it is hoped
will follow it. Mexico and the southern
half of the western hemisphere are well
represented. 1t seems probable that inside
of a fortnight the scope of the eXhi its will
be greatly enlarged. and that even tn, pres
ent mammoth buildings will hardly accom-
MEDIATE all the displays The opening day
brought in not only thousands of sigh,secrs,
but numerous car loa Is Of goods from near
and distant States, and reports received by
the management indicate that steady streams
of visitors and new articles for the exposl-
ton may be expected from day TO day.
