San FRANC1soo, March. 5. 1884
The first legal holiday strewn in the
path OF the rapidly advancing Mid
winter Fair was the memorable
Washingtons birthday.
Generally We celebrate by having
large militsry parade. but not ~ on
this occasion. The soldiers all took
q holiday and 3545O people went to
the Fair.
The graud international parade was
tho first number on the official pro-
gramms. 1t consisted OF eight hun
dred people, each nationality dressed
in the typical oostu me Of his country.
It wound about the many roads, in
and out among the concessions, like
large serpent OF many colors, The
Indians appeared.in all their feath-
ers and warpaint, as il they were to
appear in u ghost dance or a Sho-
shone Indian fandaugo. The Arabs,
Egyptians, Chinese, Esquimaux, Ha-
a"aiians, Japanese aud all European
nationalities were in line, and every
concession on tbs. grounds was repre-
sented. '-'.'''
At two o'clock the population Of
Sunset city gathered within the
enclosure Of tie Vienna Prater to
witness the balloon ascension and
parachute leap which proved to be
very successful.
A grand display Of fireworks, which
l can hardly describe, took place in
the evening The main features
were. three large sat pieces: One
representing Old Glory in the red,
white and blue and gold stars; the
second was large wreath surmount-
ed by bear representing the land Of
sunshine, fruit and flowers, and the
third was the head OF George Wash
ington. ~
These were all set off in many
colored lights aud the band played an
appropriate air after each display .'r'
The search light that surmounts
the electric tower vas operated for
the first tune on this Occasion. 1t is
five feet il, diameter ind on clear
night can light up an object at dis
lance of ten miles.
Closely following Washington's
birthday vas. another big day for the
Fair. The 24th Of February as we'll
ss everything within the grounds, be-
longed to the children. It is very
remarkable as we'll as fortunate that
not one out Of forty thousand chill
dren met with an accident, although
hundreds of them managed TO elude
the vigilance OF parents and teachers.
am very sorry to write that very
little improvement has been made in
exhibits in the Nevada State building
Il is either the want of interest or
lack OF, material, I feel undecided to
say which. Frequent remarks can
be heard on the grounds not very
complimentary to the commissioners
and l hope they will bestir them
selves for the honor Of the State.
The building is really fine, although
slightly distant from the Fair center,
and with an exhibit in such variety
of products as the State is noted for,
! can be made attractive.
The Mystic Maze is one Of the most
attractive and amusing places 10 the
Fair grounds. II is an arrangement
of aisles formed by hundreds OF mir
rors 50 clear that the only way per.
