IDe comedian OF the fireworks was Joeko
tue monkey gymnast. On a pyroieehnieal nOri-
Zonlal bar he performed a series of amusing
evoutions. A beautiful feature was the pair
OF JeWeled pains. These were twin geOmetric
devices. IN addition 10 the palm outlines
were stars OF fire, containing gems OF every
hue, intersected by columns of golden sheaves
All 0i these elaborate pieces were given with
out q naW. Complete as they were in every
detail their exhibition was indeed a wonderful
sight The cold, clear atmosphere was most
propltious and aided much IN the excellent
presentation OF The devices. In addition 10
these special numbers there were scores of
aerial cannonS. fire balloons, rockets aud sig
nal naroonS In every conceivable hue.
When the fireworks programme was over
there was another exhibition OF tie search

true.

many attractions OF the exposition. These
bells have been secured for The exposition
through The agency OF Nj. Linforth OF this city,
and an engagement was completed Yesterday
with Professor w. Ii. Holt, OrganIst OF ST.
Johns Church, TO chime the bells during the
exposition.
Professor Holt says that the chime Is cast In
HAT and that iT contains a fiat seventh and
one note above the octave. so that 10000
tunes can be played upon the bells. He has
already arranged about 100 tunes, and will
give bell concerts twice a day as soon as the
chime is ready. MIR. Holts engagement begins
on March 1, and it is expected that he will be
ready TO begin the concerts day or TWO later

number of those who had waited out for
the evening entertainments was augmented
by later arrivals.
Everybody interested in the success of
the exposition-and who in San Francisco
is nOt?-wore broad smile of satisfaction.
The director-general grinBed, and so did
all the minor officials. Concessionaires
whose visages grew longer with each sue
ceeding day of rain yesterday broadened
their facial expression as the welcome fees
came pouring into their pockets, which
have hitherto scarcely contained enough
coins TO make jingle.
All the county buildings were filled with
hours. Everybody was in a mood to be
pleased and the task Of satisfying visitors was
not difficult undertaking
The center of the county attractions was the
southern California Citrus Fair. Not an indi-
vidual entered the gates without stopping after

hungry. or If he did. the fault was his own.
Washington's birthday was never more ap-
proprIately celebrated in this city, nor more
pleasantly 10 the holiday observers. There
was more entertainment on the grounds than

excepting the crowds OF the official opening.

Among the representatives present last night
were the several divisions OF the Ancient Order
of HibeInians in Alameda County. who stated
that they would turn out 10 man, also the
knights OF tile Red Branch and ST. Palrick's
Alliance from across the bay. The Ancient

THE EVENING DISPLAYS.

The succession OF beautiful displays in the
evening concluded The best day the exposition
has had. On opening day more people passed
through the gates but many OF them were ad-
mitted on complimentary tickets. Yesterday
there were comparatively few on the grounds
who had not parted with nifty cents for the priv
ilege. When The fair was opened The rails We re
new and trife rough. now they are worn
enough to make matters smoothly.
The Nominations last evening we're on grand
er scale Than has yet been attempted. AS usual
the central court was ablaZe with light. Tie
electric tower was illuminated more deliberately
than ever before, although only 500 incandes-
cents now glow on this tail pyramid which viii
have 1900 lights when il is completed next
week. All of the official buildings were out
lined and the spectacle was brilliant.
Without any announcement or much apparent
PREPARATION the mammoth search light had
been elevated 10 the top OF the electric tower.
Lieutenant Hasson, The electrician OF The expo
Slt1On. would not commit himself as 10 the date
OF its initial lighting. He went quietly 10 work
all The same and rapidly connected his wires.
ABOUT O'Clock, when everybody was down by
Inc recreation ground watching the fireworks.
wynn Meredith prepared surprise for his
chief, Lieutenant Hasson. In the ialter's ID
sence Meredith tried his first experiment with
his Dig search light, and II proved eminently
successful.
Tie great reflector was turned toward the
west, ana suddenly great stream OF light eA-
tended like gigantic sun beam from the tall
tower. The light streamed out into The night
throwing big yellow ball on tie waters OF the
bay and lighting up the outlines OF the Marin
County shore. The big lantern was turned
eastward, showing the rocky fortress on Alca-
lraZ and The green slopes OF Angel Island. An
other turn and BeIkeley's white roofs were
lighted up, and all The interv ming waters
shimmered like yellow wine IN crystal goblet.
The electric fountain PLAYED twice during the
evening and each time to an immense audience.
No wind interfered with the delicate water
spirals thrown high into tie air. as for fifteen
minutes at a time the rainbow waters kept
thousands entranced.
Then about 10000 people adjourned to the
recreation ground 10 witness the display of
pyroiechncs. 1t was a gorgeous sight. The
night seemed made 10 order for the fireworks,
which Illuminated the heavens and were visible
from almost every part of San francisco. Be-
yond question, the display was the finest ever
seen in this city.
A number Of elaborate designs were shown.
One OF the pTettiest was that representing Call
fornia The omnipresent bear was at the top
and beneath fanciful device. with the words.

other striking piece was the pyrotechnical

FOR CHlLDREN's DAY.

Elaborate as were the entertainments yester-
day. the programme for to-day's amusement at
the Midwinter Fair will be even more attractive
This Is the date which the exposition manage

During the day the youngsters will be given

this afternoon Will be devoted at the Southern

A GROTESQUE PARADE.

Besides individual pleasures, the entertain

time TO find the hours drag slowly. On the con-
trary the minutes sped all too quickly. The
nrst number on the official programme was the
grand international parade.
over 800 were in line from ali the conces-
eiohs on the grounds, each group dressed in the
typical costume which has made IL peculiar.
The procession started at IL from the east
gate. Colonel i. Daniel Boone was marshal,

UP IN A BALLOON.

AS soon as the procession was over there was
great run on The restaurants, and then people
prepared themselves for the next feature OF the
days enjoyment. the balloon ascension and
parachute jump made by Wesley Woodford.
The balloon was flied within the Vienna
Prater Enclosure. All of the balconies OF
Kaiser Frauz Joseph Hal! were crowded with
interested spectators. and there was no surplus
standing room IN any part OF the extensive
Austrian village. In all parts OF the grounds
eyes were turned expectantly toward The
Prater.
An ascension was successfully made about
2:30 O'Clock.
The aerOnaut had some thrilling experiences
during the twelve minutes in which he sailed
$500 feet Skyward. He had narrow escape
from cOlldlng with one of the PTater buildings
as lie assembled. Then he came near humping
his head against the big searchlight which had
been erected only few hours previously on
the top OF the electric tower.
Skifully avoiding these obstacles in his
aerial flight lie sailed away through the air

ascendeo until his balloon looked no bigger
than toy and himself very much like manni-
kin.
Suddenly the parachute was loosened from
the aiFship, and The daring aeronaut began 10
descend. In the first few yards OF lie descent
he looked as II he had been shot out of can
non pointed downward. since The balloon shot
up as The parachute dropped. Presently, how
ever. the parachute opened. and the aeronaut
sailed slowly down 10 terra frma.
The landing was made just outside the Dor
ders of Golden Gate Park not many rods from
the prayer book cross. ami in twenty minutes
from The time the balloon left the Vienna Prater
Woodford was back again, recouniing his adj
venture.
Then a grand rush was made for the Vienna
Prater. The imperial Vienna orchestra rem
dered particularly enjoyable programme. All
of the numbers were highly appreciated. Dur
ing tie day the Exposition band. composed of
San francisco musicians. also played 10 large
audiences
