Queen ISabelia's appearance in the Fine
Arts building suggests an attack of hydro

lis much in need of a bath Even royalty
! is not supposed to be beyond the need of
plebeian soap and water, but the statue OF
the hacker Of Columbus is gniltless of alb
lutlons.
Day by day Miss .Hosmer's statue ac-
:quires an additional layer OF dust The
building is swept out every day, and the
dirt from many boots makes much dust
fly. The massive statue of white marble
is a prominent target for these unclean
deposits from the atmosphere, and so il
receives mete than its share. Miss Hos
:mer. the sculptures, has a reputation Of
shertness of temper. In severe accents she
forbade any one 10 toucn her Isabella or

stTuctrons, and so no one has dared to
throw a cloth over the bic during
housekeeping hours.
The interior people are coming to the
fair They were al Sunset City in large
numbers yesterday from half The counties
in the State. ACCUSTOMED to take weather
as 1t comes, these visitors do not mind
daylike yesterday, They are not so much
about the grounds as when the sun
shines, but all the buildings con tain dele
cations. The various county buildings
are always we'll filed. A visitor first pays
his respects to his own headquarters and
then: calls at the bTildiBgsof the counties
adjacent to his own.
This was especially the case yesterday.
Numbers had apparently selected the day
on the domestic calendar for trip to
Sunset City; and so they came, despite
the moisture and clOudiness. Among the
piles OF oranges in the Northern aud
Southern California buildings, ia San Ma
te0'S redwood pavilion, IN Aiameda'S COM
modious structure, beside Father Junipero
Serra's relies in Monterey's house, gazing
critically al Santa Clara'S pTune horse. at
Santa Barbara's pyramid and 10 San JOa-
quin's imposing building, interior visitors
were in the majority. ."
Ar the Manufactures building there
was great excitement over the serious
scrape into which II. B. Hardt and Ell
ward Goodman nave got themselves.
Hardt Is Hungarian. aud was at the /
Colum bfan Exposition, where 10 was in /
.volVed IN some transactions which drew /
forth the condemnation of the World /
.FaiT.officialS. Then he came to San Fran /
cisco and was appointed by Assistant I
Director General Cornely commiss ioher- /
at-large- Tor ali unrepresented countries. |
A short time ago Hardt Ta1led off "a st ctiOn |
in the Manufactures building and hung |
up a. big sign, announcing that beneath. |
was Canada exhibit. Then he opened an |
Office and called himself Commissioner for |
Canada.
: As matter of fact Canada has no dis !
play in the Manufactures building, and /
tits questionable if the dominion authOri- /
ties ever heard Of the existence OF Mr.. +
Hardt In this section are a NUN Der OF /
little stands, where cheap jewelry and |
curios are displayed for sale. There is no
EXHIBIT of Canadian goods. and nearly all |
the exhibitors are, like Mr.. Hardt, from |
the interior of Europe.
On Saturday night Hardt added another |
chapter to his career by stealing sixteen. |
bottles Of wine from the Italian section |
adjoining the space called by Hardt the /
: Canadian section. The Italian watchman
says he saw Hardt and Goodman, an EN- |
: poye of the former, take the bottles, !
which contained champagne and barolO, !
into Hardr5 private office. There Two
women assisted the self-styled Canadian
commissioners and his friend to drink the
stolen wine. By the time the Italian
Waterman had brought Midwinter guard |
to the spot he states that all four were in
an advanced state of intoXicatOn.
HarGt and Goodman were arrested and
= taken TO the City Prison. A number Of
the foreign commissioners were very busy
yesterday urging Chevalier Macchi of the
Italian section not to prosecute Hardt and
Goodman. II is likely that the prosecution
% will be taken out of Macchi's hands, how
ever. The prisoners are ameDable to the
which were i'm pD rted from Italy and which |
are main tanned at the exposition in bond
A number of Canadian residents of this
city are up IN arms over the affair ana de-
maud that Hardt shall be dealt with in
strict accordance with the law. They are
indignant that he should have misTepre-
sented their country, and will ask Com
mlsslener-GPnerai Stiles, who has the gen.
eral oversight OF the exhibits from Great
Britain and her colonies, how it is that he
c0untenanced Hardt in his so-called dis I
play of Canadian manufactures.
For the Agricultural and horticultural
building an exhibit If fresh. salt, smoked
and picked fish is being prepared. The
display will occupy space 120x16 feet
along the south wall, and will be lighted
by four arc lights, 1t will be located in
the rear of the exhibit made by the Produce
Exchange.
With the idea of bringing to the atten-
ton of farmers the advantages of fiber
culture display will be made of all kinds
of vegetable and animal fibers, including
cotton, fax, ramie, jute, hemp, wool and
Angora goat hair. A loom from the San
Quentin prison and sewing-machine Will
be in operation every day making h
fiber into hop cloth, jute and wooden bags.
A number of boys were caught climbing
over the wet boards OF the fence in the
rear of the Canadian headquarters yester-
day. At that ONT the fence is low. and
as 1t skirts The road TO the top of Straw
berry Hill, many pedestrians secure cheap
access TO the exposition grounds at that
point. With the limited number of guards
on the force the entire boundary OF the ex-
position cannot be guarded. but hereafter
Chief Fielder of the admissions department
says that he will personally prosecute
these offenders for trespass.
10 the Italian section, in the midst OF the
beautiful marble statuary there displayed,
Is a piece of wood carving, which is caus-
ing much comment. 1t represents drum
meE-boy during carnival time in Rome.
The little fellow is leaning away back and
pounding big bass drum with all his
might. As work of art it is superb. As
unique IDEA it is unquestiouable. The
carving is so perfectly done that one can
not but wonder what sort of wood it is
that lent itself SO successfully to the knife
OF the carver in making this interesting
object.
March l is st. David's day and the
Welsh residents of San Francisco have
been addressed in the hope that they will
celebrate the anniversary at the MidwlDter
Fair with appropriate ceremonies.
