[Specisl Correspondence to the HERALD
SAN FRANcIsco. March 24.-The
weather for the last four days was all
that could be desired. Today not the
slightest defect in the weather is notice
able, not even breeze prevailing, while
the atmosphere is warm and bright.
The last few days have brought many
visitors to the fair grounds, mostly resi-
dents Of other places. who are bent on
sight seeing.
There's no question:" said q we'll
known Chicsgoan, who has seen the
largest expositions the world has yet
duced, "that the midwinter exposition
from an artistic point of view, is really
the finest ever held except the Colum-
bian, Notwithstanding the Paris, New
Orleans and Centennial expositions."
On Wednesday evening the Vienna
Pratsr gave q grand Wagner concert.
The music rendered was superb. so me
of the great musicians best being given.
The hall was crowded. At the conclu
zion of each selection, as a token of ap-
probation Of the classical manner in
which the music was rendered, the
burst of applause wss something SINH
lar to that of thunder storm.
The Imperial Vienna band, which
came here under contract from Vienna,
receives no less than $1,000 daily for its
services, the msmbers of the band be-
ing artists. | doubt very much if
ever heard a better cornet solo than
that which is rendered by Mr.. Will
Bates. He ia unquestionAbly the finest
ever heard in San Francisco.
Souss's band has taken the place Of
the Iowa State band. 1t renders some
very fine music and it is to be hoped
that when they make their Southern
California tour the people will appreci-
ale good music by going to hear the
band.
The Los Angeles county exhibit today
received about 100 boxes OF oranges Of
the different varieties, which will re-
place the ones now on exhibition.
Mr.. Wiggins desires that the school
children and people in general OF South
ern California understand in regard to
the ballots forwarded to him. Today
no less than 800 ballots were received.
They we're to no advantage whatever, for
the reason the time in which to vote
them has expired. Those sending him
coupons should forward them imme-
diRtely, and not cave them up until a
dozen or more are secured. The San
Francisco dailies limit the voting
coupon for IA daye. This is done in
order that the admirers of their choice
will have ample time to forward their
ballots from the lurthest point in the
state. The ballots Mr.. Wiggins re-
celved were not voted for the reasons as
stated above.
The suggestion is often made to the
officials in the Southern California
building as to the orange blossom dis
play. That the San Francisco people are
more than anxious to see and receive
orange blossoms, goes without saying.
Please send your orange blossoms imme-
diately to the chamber OF commerce in
Los Angeles, which will in turn forward
them in carload lots to the Los Angeles
county exhibit at the midwinter fair.
A Yaqui Indian woman died here
yesterday. Her people made terrible
fuss over the disposition OF her body.
According to the Indian custom of
burial the body is deposited in the prong
of q tree and there left to decay. AZ
the health officials would permit othing
resembling the time-honored custom, the
Indians are fairly hostile. During the
burial ceremonies some of the most
curious pranks we're INDUCED in. A
Chinese funeral is queer enough, but the
