ago and the display is being perfected by
degrees. Yesterday the exhibit was finally
arranged, and it is expected to be Gu view
every day that the exposition continues.
'Midwinter weather by the Golden
Gate" is the way that the exhibit Is
labeled. and every visitor at Sunset City
yesterday agreed that it is an excellent
specimen. The exhibitor is man named
Pague, who made the display himself. He
was out at the grounds looking after his
display yesterday. and he likes the way
that IL is arranged,
Lots of other people liked il, too. It
was the best thing to be seen. and outside
of the usual int eresting features the most
striking. The attendance was gratifying.
but it would have been much larger had
the entertainment department arranged
some special drawing card for holidays.
When the management gets through at
tending banquets and other festivities an d
can find time To consider the genera
amusement features CT the fair some OF
the proposals now on file in the Admins
tration building may receive some atten-
ton. Among the people vino desire to give
| performances at the grounds are tighEope
walkers. irapeZe experts and circus artists

That such attractions would prove pop

is evidenced by the eagerness with whic
visitors flock to the Vienna Prater en-
closure at an hour when balloon asee n
sion is announced. On Washington s
! Birthday the announcement of tile inter
national parade attracted an immense
crowd. SPECIAL features will always bring
visitors to the fair aud If the entertain
ment department should wake up the re-
| ceipts from said admissions will be largely
accelerated.
An organized gang of fence-jumpers oc-
! cupied the attention of the guards all day.
| They broke out boards and then broke in
| themselves TO the Infinite distress OF T..
| A. Fielder, chief of The Admissions De-
partment, and Captain Baldwin of the
| Mdwinter Guards. The management is
| dropping the charges OF trespass against
these interlopers and instead Will make
com plants against these Irregular visitors
OF malicious mischief.
Music resounded from every corner OF
the grounds yesterday. In addition to the
! confessional musicians, whose name is
/ legion, the official bands played extra pro
! grammeS on the bandstand in the Manu-
! features building. A special feature of
/ the afternoon concert was the rendering
of The Awakening of the Lion" The
venerable composer, Chevalier de Kontski
| OF this city, directed the number in person.
| Each of the musicians put his best foot
foremost. and the result was such an ex.
/ cellent performance that the old gentle
man who wrote the score was as delighted
as the outdoor audience.
| The manner in which vehicles and
| equestrens ire permitted TO race through
| the grounds is a continual menace to the
safety of visitors. particularly on Sundays
and holidays. Wherever a crowd is gath
| cred the drivers of these conveyances drive
at top speed, and if women and children
! don't get out of the way the nonchalant
| coachmen Will drive over them. There
| were several narrow escapes yesterday
| near the Administration building. where
/ the crowd was thckest. The attention OF
the superintendent of the grounds was
directed TO the danger, but that official re-
] piled that THE cowboy performances were
! sanctioned by the executive committee. SO
! this dangerous feature of the drives con-
tnues to flourish under the protection of
the management.
| The great interest taken by visitors in
the southern citrus fair has convinced the
managers of the Southern Counties build
| ing that ii will pay to have special fea-
lures during the entire fair In addition to
the permanent display, and they have de
| .ermined TO make number of novel exhi
billions during the coming months.
Tie flower festivals and carniyals, which
are yearly features in nearly every city
and town in the southern part OF the State.
Will be first produced. Flowers VIII take
the place OF the fruit now displayed. The
citrus fair is to be kept uD about ten days
longer, ana MS soon as 1t is done away with
| the flower show will be installed.
BY that time flowers of every variety
| Will be Obtainab Bile, and although thu dis
lance Is considerable one the manage
ment is conf ident that the blossoms can be
brought here in good shape.
