The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-09-03

moved 10 tue AlmsDouse, and the rest are
intended to grace Sutro Heights or vicinity.
The first restaurant building TO open at
the fair was a picturesque bauerhaus in
the Heidelberg Castles concession. 1t
looked like a picture from an old Dutch
book. with its quaint gables. windows and
framework. Now it is owned by Sutro,
and will do service as a resort of some
kind, or probably dwelling, on II street,
near the Olymp pic grounds whittier it has
been moved and set on new foundations.
But this is merely one of his purchases.
He has bought the Hawaiian village. the
haunted swing, pc stoffice. magic mirror
maze. San MateO building and Flemish
dairy. rustic structure that stood along
the midway plais ance, and the substantial
redwood building of Hum boldt County,
which can be moved without being torn
down.
All round the grand court and through
the Liberal Arts building ones curiosity
is excited by two letters "a. ST." folio wed
by mysterious signs and numbers. You
see them on fagpoles, electric light masts,
nymphs, satyTes, eagles, plaster vases and
klosks. They are painted In large black
characters and signify that the phliantro-
phst of the cliff has acquired possession
OF these articles by paying a ridiculously
small sum OF money TO the management.
At preser It he is bargaining for the cleo
trio tower and the music-Stand.
None of these buildings are composed of
perishabe stuff. They are fairly we'll con-
structed frame houses that may be carried
away on rollers or trucks and will last for
years to come with ordinary care.
The Hawaiian huis, though flimsy in
appearance, are firmly knit little houses
and their straw roofs will withstand many
fierce blast. and being typical of the
sunny land whence they came will be re-
garded with interest and curiosity,
The haunted swing and mirror-maze
will stand as extra attractions at Sutro
Heights, while the postoffice can be vari-
ously utilized and the dairy may form
pleasant rustic arbOr sntwined in trailing
plants. The Hum boldt building can be
converted into a comfortab BILE two-story
dwelling at small cost, and may be placed
south of the park.
What use the hundreds of electric light
anc flag poles can be turned TO is puz-
Zling question, though they may come in
conveniently when Sutro builds his cleo
trio railroad.
The facades OF the French and German
sections in the Liberal Arts building, con-
sisting largely OF staff figures supporting
arches, ornamental columns, cornices,
vases ana two monStrOus staff eagles that
measure II feet from tip to tip of their
wings, Will be removed TO the cliff this
week and introduced in recasses of the
bathhouse as ornaments. There are two
highly artistic open woodwork pavilions
and one handsome pagoda in the Russian
section which will grace the bathhouse
and heights. Then the hundred kiosks
that stood In every nook and corner of the
exposition grounds are to be trausplanted
to other scenes Some fair officials be-
lieVe that this job lot will prove a white
elephant on SutrO's hands.
What Mr.. Sutro did not secure has been

The panorama building that covered
Hawalfs burning mountain, has been
carted to the Almshouse. Its lumber will
be employed in building a recreation hall
for the poor Inmates, but whether a cir
cular structure or an ornamental one will
be built is still doubtful question.
The old mining cabins OF Downey, Per-
kins and Mackey, Sam Davis '49 naner
Office and the the 40 camp office have been
presented to the park. ALI the remaining
buildings were sold to Williams s. CO.
street contractors, for a camp.
