Park Commissioners W. W. Stow and
Irving NJ. Scott called upon Director
General de Young at the Administration
building yesterday afternoon No refer
ence was made TO the breezy address by
the director-general the other day upon
the Commissioners refusal to accept the
exposition buildings.
The park guardians stated that they de-
sired to learn positively whether or not
the fair should be maintained after July >.
The chief official of the exposition replied
that it was the purpose of the executive
committee not to close the fair for three
months. and that guards and other en-
ployes would be retained and the buildings
and grounds cared for as usual.
The Commissioners assented to this ar
rangement. and then the three officials
made the ascent of the electric tower,
which it is proposed to retain as perma-
nent feature of Golden Gate Park. They
also Inspected the allegorical fountain in
front of the Administration building,
which Director-General de Young would
like to preserve in bronze. 1t has been
suggested that part of the surplus revenue
at the close Of the exposition might be ap-
piled to the erection of such monument.
The big prune horse in the Santa Clara
building was the center of a gathering yes
terday afternoon. 1t was the special day
for the people from the beautiful fruit
valley and several hundred had come
from San Jose on special and regular
trains. Flowers covered the exhibits and
roses were festoOned from pillars of the
gallery. The entire building wore a floral
dress.
Commissioner Merriam acted as presi-
dent of the day. The first speaker was
Colonel Philo Hersey OF San Jose. who
said that they had grown some of the fruit
in the midst of which the visitors to the
Santa Clara building were standing. He
referred to the custom of oiden times,
when the warrior gathered the trophies OF
his victories and placed them on exhibition
for the people of his own particular nation.
So it was in later period with the ath-
letes who competed in national games, 10
order that the people might see something
of the strength which they had developed.
But in these modern days all nations
join together in exhibiting for the benefit
and education of all other nations their
particular typical products, and so there
have been gathered together at the
Midwinter Exposition so many Of the
good things that are brought forth in all
paris of the world. The speaker then
asked his audience to travel with him on an
imaginary journey in sontherly direc-
ton, and no romised to show them where
the mountains had opened themselves
wide and where there were at least
million acres in the beautiful Santa Clara
Valley. where luscious fruits are grown
In perfectiOn-the orange, the apple, the
apricot the peach, the grape, the Prune,
and every kind of vegetable.
DiTector-GeneTal de Young also spoke Of
Santa Clara's fruit-producing capabilities.
Speeches were made by Commissioners
Clio. Lloyd and Merriam.

The cOncessionaires met Yesterday after
noon In the Administration building and
decided to unite with the foreign commits
sioners In the "All Nations day" celebra-
ton. An International procession is being
arranged, and Manager Benedik expects
TO marshal 60O0 people IN line on this occa-
sion. which is set for July 1.
John Tret, district messenger-boy at
the Administration building, while run
ming races with several companions fell
and broke his arm yesterday. He walked
over to the emergency hospital, where it
was set by the physicians in charge.
a musicale was given by party of East
ern visitors to the fair at the graceful lit
tie structure known as the Santa Barbara
Pyramid. number of others were at
" tractsd by the melody, and the audience
filed the building. The pyramid always
attracts attention because of the individu
atty OF its architecture. its unique decor
atoms and its excellent exhibits. attrac-
lively arranged, appealing particularly TO
persons of taste and refinement.
No prominent Wis tor TO Sunset City has
failed to inspect and admire the Santa
Barbara headquarters. with its pictures of
the famous flower earnivals and water
colors of all the old California missions,
From Santa Maria are samples of the farm
products of the county, mbracing all veg
etable growth. from cotton to corn, and
wines and olive oil are shown to perfec-
ton. General regret has followed the re-
port that the building is to be closed for
lack OF funds for its maintenance. The
withdrawal of its exhibits will be a loss to
the attrsctiveness Of the fair, and is likely
TO work injury to Santa Barbara ia the
eyes of tourists.
Arrangements for the celebration of
Swiss day on the Goth inst. are being made
by Commissioner Benno Obermayer. who
