THE MIDwINTER FAIR.
Beautiful Buildings Are Going up Like
a Touch of Magic.


San Francisco, Nov. 6.-The progress
thus far made by contractors on the
several main buildings of the Midwin-
ter Fair, is highly satisfactory. The
brick work of the art building is all
completed. The iron roof and girders
are on the premises, and, even If rain
does set in, there will be little or no
delay on the work The mechanics
and arts building may be said to be
practically under roof Another week
of good weather will put the manufac-
lures building under cover, so there
need be no fear that the buildings will
not be ready in time. The most notable
progress made during the past week
has been in connection with the admin
istration building, which has risen two
stories in height during eight days
The various cincessionaires are also
making rapid progress.
