Benjamin Harrison, ex-President of the
United States, wandered about the
grounds OF the Midwinter Fair yesterday.
ne was haud-in-hand with ex-BabY Me-
hee, who graduated from infancy and
now spells his name Benjamin Harrison
Mckee.
That wide ribbon of the color of OK
blood was, as General Harrison explained,
an avowal of his connection with Stanford
University, as one of the lecturers of the
institution. He says be is a plain Ameri-
can citizen, and he acts as il he were proud
Of that position and considered it an honor
and distinction. Mrs Mckee was with
the party, and the director. general es-
corted the distinguished visitors to the
most entertaining of The snake shows
At noon they were entertained at
luncheon by the members Of the Cana
dian Auxiliary committee, at the pretty
little Headquarters of the kanucks, oppo-
site Anne Hatha ways cottage. Later in
the day the Harrison party watched game
OF baseball between the Stanford nine and
the Olympic MarOOns, and as became a
Stanford man. the once President, now
professor, exulted in the victory of the
Palo Alto players. The wild rusbes.
scrummages, tackles and kicks of the foot
ball contest evoked a similar display OF
interest.
Now that the Midwinter Fair manage
ment has DrOpitlated BT'er Pague and Sun
set City is daily flooded with the sunshine
whence IL derives its charter the hold
which the fair has secured upon general
popularity is so plain that he who runs
may read. a continuance of the truce will
mean the unqualified success Of the big
show.
In no sense was yesterday one of the
great gala days OF the exposition, and vet
the crowds were larger than on the aver
age Sunday. From noon onward the GEN.
tTal court was thrOnged with people, and
visitors con Dtinued to arrive for the rest OF
the Gay. a noticea bic feature of the days
attendance was the large number of East
ern people Oh the grounds. Their tourist
connections we're unmistakable ana their
enthusiasm was as general as their locality.
1t was Stanford University day at the
fair, but the students and their friends
numbered but small part of the total
attendance. Undergraduates and ''co-eds"
were ubiquitous. however, and badges of
red decorated many coats and fr0cks.
Student groups were observable around
the grounds early in the morning. aud
when the first train arrived from PalO
Alto there was grand rush at all the
lurnstles.
The boys and their preceptors had dec
Grated Festival Hall with their colors,
their ATHLETIC trophies and with flowers
and palms. The name of the university
appeared in big red letters at the rear of
the stage. The platform itself was swathed
with broad bands of red. Growing plants
and shrubs were arranged in semi-circle
around the stage. Flags covered the boxes
and the sides of the gallery. The reading
desk was mass Of lilies and bright colors
enlvened the hall.
Standing-room was at premium when
the exercises commenced. The announce
ment that EXPIRES dent Harrison was to
deliver an address had an electrical effect
upon the audience, which was as large as
Festival Hall has seen. Not even the
alluriDg pleasures of the athletic sports
going on al the adjacent recreation ground
could affect the gathering in the audi
torium, fully half the audience being un-
connected with the university.
Sousa's band played an overture and
then President Jordan made brief intro
duct0ry speech, as follows:
1t was on an occasion somewhat like this a
numbe, OF years ago that Mr.. Robert Browning
made this remark: Never the time and the
place and the loved one all together" That is
TO say, no matter how bright the sky may be.
how bright the sunshine, however beautiful the
scenery, there is always something wanting.
Never the time aud the place aud the loved
one all together; but IL seems % me- as look
around, that nothing is wanting bere-that we
are all here together and that we are here 10
represent our university. Surely there could
be nothing more that Robert Browning or my
one else could possibly want My sDe' ch is to

have procured a very large and very beautiful
bear flag, which was TO be presented on this oc-
cason IN token of our appreciation OF what has

management of tie Midwinter Exposition. but

Dlrector-General de Young welcomed
the undergraduates and the faculty on
behalf OF the administration. He said he
hoped they would come often to the fair.
and that they would find many things on
the grounds TO elevate and edncate them.
