siders the Arizona exhibit specially valu-
able from the standpoint of practical hort!-
culture.
On the main floor, small but neatly ar
ranged section is devoted TO an exhibit OF
Canada's grain interests. Grasses and
grains, the latter in sheafs and in sample
bottles, are shown. and large oil paintings
of various agricultural sections hang on
the walls. The display is made by the
Canadian Government.
Fresno's space in the Horticultural
building is occupied by fac-simile of the
dome of the county courthouse. Beneath
this. aud around its interior walls, he eX-
hibits will be grouped, and a large display
of raisins and other dried fruits will be
made. All the competitive exhibits from
individuals and counties are coming in,
and the building will soon be closed to
tardy exhibitors.
The agricultural exhibit of the State
University is being installed. 1t is very
complete, and includes 800 specimens of
grain In sheaves. The display of the State
Board OF Trade. prominently located near
the head of the stairs. is about finished,

Many visitors TO the grounds yesterday
longed for the establishment of a few
drinkIng-fOuntains around the streets of
Sunset City. With the exception of the
bronze cider-press opposite the Fine Arts
building. thirsty sightseers have no place
to procure free water. Nickel-iD-tne-slO
machines to provide drinks, hard and soft,
abound, and beer, coffee, tea and other
beverages can be procured in unlimited
quantities. but what the visitors are de-
maDding just now Is the loan of some of
the water reserved to protect the buildings
from fire.
Strangers in San Francisco are to be
heard every day asking (which is the
way to the Midwinter Fair grOundsp"
This question Is entirely due to the fact
that none of the cable lines of cars make
use of DlacardS or banners in advertise
ment of the fair, or in advertisement of
the fact that their cars will carry people
to the exposition. When there is anything
going on al the Mechanics Pavilion or at
the baseball grounds the Streetcars may
be relied on to emblaZon the attraction in
every possible way. 1t is moreuoticeable,
therefore, that the exposition has not re-
ceiVed the same attention, though the car
lines are reaping the lions share of profit
from the fair.
The party of visiting Chicago Journal
lists, who came ont to write up the opening
Of the Mldwinter Exposition and who re-
turned CD Saturday evening from a flying
trip TO the southern part of the State. left
on the overland last night for Portland,
Or. They will remain but few hours in
Portland and will then proceed via the
Northern Pacific Railway to st. Paul and
so on to Chicago. The Pullman car in
which this newspaper party travels is
filled with oranges in boxes and on
branches donated TO the visitors by South
ern CalifOrnians. Every gas-fixture and
every hathOok in the car has oranges sus-
pended. and one of the ststerooms has
been turned into storsrOom for boxes of
the golden fruit.
The EsquImau village was the Ouly con-
cession with closed doors yesterday. The
of this concession pursued
the same plan OF Sunday closing at the
Column bian Exposition. and has no reason
TO believe that il will not prove as success
full here as il did in Chicago.
