CALIFORNIA MIpwfNrxR INTERNA-
TIoNAL EXPOSITION N.---DEPARTMENT
nr pyrpII IIcyTy AND pROMoTiON,

p1eted, the tlve main buildings OF tfle
California Midwinter international EE-
position are practically finished. Still,
It has been found impossible to open the
Exposition in all its departments on Jan.
1. When the projectors Of this indus
trial enterprise took advantage OF the
glorious midwinter weather in Califor-
mia they did not expect that the wintry
winds on the shore Of Lake Michigan,
ana the mountains Of snow between that
point and this, would array themselves
in opposition to their plans This, how
ever, has proven to be the case, and
hundreds Of carloads Of exhibits which
were to come from the Columbian Ex-
position to stand on dress parade in
Golden Gate park have been seriously
DELAYED by the weather. There has been
great difficulty experienced in getting
cars to load goods on at Chicago as fast
as they were ready, and when they had
once been started westward, series OF
obstacles had to be overcome until, even
though the buildings in San Francisco
are practically ready for their reception,
the bulk Of the exhibits which are to be
made by foreign nations have not yet
arrived
1t has been found necessary. therefore,
TO postpone the formal ceremonies Of
opening the Exposition for a few days,
or until everything is in place. On the
first day Of January, however, an infor-
NAL opening occurs, The flags Of all
nations will fly from the flag poles on
the Exposition buildings and in the
grounds, there will be music and gen
eral gala day effects, but the day Of
days, the day when San Francisco shall
be q perfect sea of bunting, when her
people shall turn out en- masse, when an
extra legal holiday shall be declared and
when all California shall join in the
great ceremony Of the opening of this
great midwinter festiyal-that day will
come 4 little later on.
Ouite a number Of the confessional
features of the Exposition are all in
readiness and will be in full blast Oh
