Day by day county rivalry at the Mid
winter Fair grows keener. With each
succeeding county celebration new features
are introduced and decorative art receives
new wrinkles.
San Joaquin had a celebration yester-
day. In connection with the county eele-
bration of the day 1000 people lett Stockton
early in the morning and spent the day al
Sunset City. Two carloads Of flowers
the county, and both shipments made a
good showing when they arrived al the
fine architectural pile where San Joaquin
residents make their headquarters.
Such a large and fine display of cut
flowers has not been seen al the exposition
as was displayed by this county yesterday
Every visitor to the building received a
dainty paGsg boutonniere and ladies
ead nf
roses Ropes of roses were stretched and
looped along the front of the gallery which
encircles The inner walls. They hung in
festoons from each pillar and outlined
every separate exhibit in the building.
MYriads Of roses were used in the work
of decoration, and their arrangement was
highly artistic. Pansies. pink, geraniums,
eschscholZias, lilies and ferns were also
strewn about the building in rich profu-
sion. No more beautiful building has
been seen on the grounds than the interior
of the tower-covered structure on the
Midway.
A score of ladies and gentlemen devoted
their artistic energies to the work of floral
decoration. Their achievements gained
for them universal plaudits. Among the
most active in this connection were: Mrs.
S. NJ Burr, Mrs. Samuel Henry, Mrs.
Mosley, Mrs. j. Nj. Mccall. Mrs. Ashley,
Mrs. James Badger, Mrs. Slaughter. Mrs.
II. E. Williamson, Mrs. Basilia, Mrs. Phil

graceful address of welcome. short and
crisp, and to the point.
He was followed by Hosmer P. MeKoon
of San Diego, who was introduced as one
of the representatives of another county
having a direct CT indirect interest in San
Joaquin. He verified the assertion in the
introduction by congratulatIng the people
of San Joaquin County upon the auspicious
occasion and coDgratulating himself upon
the opportunity thus afforded for him to
extend words of praise and congratulation
TO his early love.
Mr.. McKoOD spoke officially as the rep
resentative of the County Commissioners
Association of the exposition, and paid a
glowing tribute to the fair as an educator
and as an exponent of the resources of
California. de said it mattered not which
county people came from or what their
special advantages might be, so long as the
whole State was to be benefited by such
displays as that made in San Joaquin S
building.
In response to the pleasant remarks
made by President McKOon of the County
Commissioners Association, Commits
sioner Craig of San Joaquin County re-
turned the thanks of the people of that
county. and assured the speaker referred
to that his words would be cherished as
one of the pleasant features of the day s
events. lie did not occupy much time in
talking, for be told his hearers that be pre-.
ferred they should have all possible oppor-
tuEity to view the exhibits in the building
and the other attractions Of the exposition.
Chairman Buell. then introduced f. 81.
Gould, who delivered comprehensive ad-
dress upon the resources and advantages
of the county whose day was being cele-
brated.
The director-general was then called
upon ard spoke in high terms of San
JoaQuin's physical attractiveness.
Thousands of souvenirs were distributed
among the visitors. These little momen-
tos were more dainty than any heretofore
prepared as souvenirs from county and
were much in demand. They comprised
miniature sacks OF grain and -four, boxes
of macaroni and almonds, tins Of buhach
and tiny bottles of wine. A luncheon in
the reception-room followed. and several
hundred specially invited guests were en-
tertained.
Newsboys divided popular attention
with the San Joaquin celebrators. The
former had been given free transportation
to the grounds and admission at the turn
stiles. Over 1900 received these tickets
and few were unused. Each newsboy also
received coupons admitting him TO twenty
of the concessions. AS has been the case
at each of the children's day celebration,
several of the concessio aires, after the
first hours business, refused to honor the
coupons, and thereuDon became very un-
popular with the merry youngsters, who
are familiar faces at every street corner.
To the credit of these juvenile vendors
of newspapers be it said that their deport-
ment was all that could be desired. They
had lots of fun, but it was innocent
pleasure, and the boys are too manly to be
destructive. All the oranges and other
fruits which they could eat OIL carry away
was presented to them at the Southern
California building and at the Northern
California building. Santa Barbara and
Fresno exhibitors fed the boys on nut.
and raisins. and 1t may be truthfully said
that the youngsters did not miss any
tricks.
Orange blossoms were again in evidence
