scene that viii be witnessed has ever been
presented 10 the public in this OF any other
country fo: ages. The daughters of San
francisco will assemble this evening in the
great Coliseum, just as the ladies of Rome
did nearly 200O years ago. A typical Cesar,
surrounded by his court. vestals and Seua-
tors, will witness games in the arena Of the
Coliseum, just as the original Cesar did in
the days when Rome was in the zenith of
her fame. Tie reproduction of the Coliseum
and revival of the Roman games, together
with a fancy fair. with all its attributes,
bids fair to prove the most popular society
event ever taken up. Lyia's reception hall
is most luxurious. Within its sacred pre-
cincts musical entertainments will be given
by the best talent in the city; beautiful
ladies and sturdy Romans will minele in
tile throng, and Uncle George Bromlius

Flower-girIs will be here, there and
everywhere, dispensing the products of
Alameda's gardens. and, in fact, such n
bivouac as there is around the glorious
Coliseum would astonish Caesar himself,
could Sybil be induced to bring him back

one would be enough even for the great
Caesar.
