The summer girl has blossomed out at
the Midwinter Fair Soon she will be In
full bloom. Already her straw hat, neg
ligee costume and light-e0lored gowns have
dotted the grounds. and fur capes are used
only for the homeward trip in the later
hours of the afternoon.
Not even a California midwinter cos
tune was to be seen at Sunset City yester-
day. In dainty summery toilets society
listened to Sousa's band in the open air
and formed good audience in the Vienna
Prater. Paul Blaekmar. tue chief of the
Department of Concessions, has been ae-
eused of trying to ''queer" the exposition
and marching about the grounds wearing
fur-lined overcoat during the warm
hours about the Midway. Such pressure
has been brought to bear upon him by the
management that he has discarded his
polar garb for semi-tropical raiment.
Fresno County bellies occupied the
front row yesterday, and the display OF
physical beauty was in keeping with the
handsome exhibit under the dome If the
Agricultural and Horticultural building.
In view of the golden opinions which the
exhibit has ELECTED, and IN view OF the
golden sunshine which now floods Sunset
City from dawn to twilight. the selection

A special concert by Sousa's band was
given at the Fresno pavilion early in the |
afternoon. The formal exercises in honor
of 'FIesn0 DAY opened with vocal reudi- |
ton of Tolstoi's Because of TbaeD nv
Mrs. Maud Berry Fisher, ACCOMPANIED by
the band. After the encore demanded
had been given Fulton G. Berry, the presi-
dent of the day, introduced the director
general, who addressed the large audience
as follows:
MIR. President. ladies and gentlemen.
We are assembled here to-day to inaugu-
rate this beautiful exhibit of Fresno
County. Within twenty years a system
of irrigation has been started in that county,
through which the recovery OF those
dreary wastes and alkai plains has become
part, with the result that to-day Fresno
is one of the wealthiest, richest and most
prominent horticultural counties in our
State.
Fresno County produces almost every
known product of horticulture. She pro-
duces almost every known berry-straw-
berry, raspberry and Fulton G. Berry.
This representative of that great county is
attached to our committee, and, as an
evidence of what that county can produce,
he overshadows all He got all he wanted
and more too. He landed Fresno County
in the very heart and center of this build
ing.
Judge Short OF Fresno was the next
speaker. His remarks were as follows:
"The Americans are a reminiscent peo-
pie, and We are all Americans here to-day.
1t is our pleasure. as L understand 1t. TO
look at ou' selves where we are now, and
where we have been, and where we hope
TO be. We who have come here from
Fresno County are very glad TO hear the
were really of the impression that we had
never been heard from at all.
"We are a very quiet and peaceful peo-
pie down there. Fresno is called peaceful
valley, believe, but we do stir up the soil
and we 90 stir up other things OCCASION
ally. We are pleased and gratifed to
meet these people here to-day, and we
hope you are pleased with the exhibit that
this county has presented at this exposi-
tion."
There is another among US to-day who
is very modest and don't like to be men
toned, but we Fresno people ali like Full
ton G. Berry. Mr.. Berry occasionally
kicks little, but the difference between
Mr.. Berry and other gentlemen is that
when he gets tired he never quits. and
that is the reason why, by his energy and
by his industry, we have this commanding
position in this exposition.
II desire to say upon the part of Fresno
County that we are proud of this exDosi-
ton and the enterprise that has inangu-
rated it. Did you ever think of it? Did
you ever view the position San Francisco
occupies among the tiles OF the earth
1t seems 10 me that If San Francisco Is to
blame for anything 1t is because 1t does
NOT annracista jts magnificent situation.
