One of the most striking exhibits in the
Agricultural building is the display of
refrigerated meats made by the Western
Meat Company. In large and handsome
chamber formed entirely of glass are
suspended quantities of beef, mutton and
lamb. Their appearance proclaims their
excellence, and the neat and wholesome
display makes visitors hungry as soon as
they come IN sight of it.
The meats, which are renewed every two
weeks, are sent up from the ompanv's
works at South San Francisco. They are
maintained at uniform temperature Of 40
degrees, eight degrees above freezing

Now that the Board of Education has
declared Tuesday public school holiday
the children's Mayday festival. which is
TO take place upon the recreation grounds
on that occasion. The general admission
for children will be 10 cents, and there is
reason to believe that thousands of the
little ones, who have on several previous
occasions received free admission 10 the
exposition, will avail themselves of the
opportunity offered to come again at the
low rate.
The programme for the festival is being
arranged by Colonel T. P. Robinson. W no
has the hearty cooperation CT the leading
dancing masters of San Francisco and
Oakland. and of the principals and teach
ers of many of the private as well as the
public schools. There will be such an at
traction on the recreation grounds that the
management have decided TO place the
Exposition band at the disposal Of the
children, thinking that every body will pre-
fer to watch the May dances rather than
sit at the regular concert near the Admin
istratiOn building.
The band will march at the head of the
procession of school children, which is to
move around the Recreation grounds, and
will then take its place upon the grand
stand, where there will be room for 1000
spectators to witness the dancing on the
temporary platform, which is to be erected
on the Recreation grounds.
On this platform the Queen of May and
her two maids of honor will be seated
upon throne. and special fancy dances
will be danced in their presence aud in the
presence of all beholders, while on either
side of this platform will be Maypole,
and around these poles the MAY dances
will take place. All children dressed in
white will be invited 10 participate in the
Mayday parade around the grounds, and 1t
is hoped that there will be at least 1000
little ones In line.
The following is the programme to be
rendered by the Cassasa Midwinter Expo-
sition band in the music pavilion, near the
Administration building, to-day at 2:3O
