thousands. He shook hands with CassaSa
and nodded pleasantly to him, while it
was apparent he said some words of con-
graduation over the success OF the con-

Mr.. Cassasa's band has improved re-
markably from months of practice aud
playing at the Midwinter Fair and in the
Northwest. This Improvement was notice
able yesterday, particularly in the en-
semble work and refinement of c0lOring,
and the s0loists received tremendous APP

Every engine and car on the two steam
railways was called into requisition to

nothing of change in fares to take place
either to-day or tomorrow.
The Midwinter Fair gates were thrown
open yesterday to the public, and great
many people strolled through the ruins of
Sunset City. Very little is left of the tenn
porary buildings. Teams and trucks can
remove the ebrls in few weeks without
hurrying, so there is no need whatever for
the Southern Pacific srur track in Golden
Gate Park. Mayor Ebert has written a
communication to the railroad company,
notifying il that the track must be re-
moved in ten days. He is determined that
| the big corporation shall not encrOach on
the peoples rights, and will move the
track if the railroad people do not.
