The morning call., 1894-12-30
SUCCESS IS NOW ASSURED.
w. B. Harrington Accepts the
Management.
AID TO BE CALLED IN.
The State Board of Trade and the
Horticultural People Offer
Their Support.

The announcement that pure-food ex-
position is to be held in the Mechanics
Pavilion next month has given rise to no
little speculation as regards the nature and
purpose of the movement. The significant
title carries with it a suggestion OF what
may be expected, but the wide field COW
cred in connection with the main object
is something which is as yet unknown In
this city.
Throughout the East expositions of this
nature have been held during the past few
years, and the success which has been OBJ
tanned in every instance has prompted the
Inauguration of a similar movement in
this city.
The management met with encourage
ment from producers and manufacturers
of food products to the extent that they
are now prepared to announce the arrange
ments almost completed. Being confined
solely to this line of trade, which forms
but a part of the vastiDdustries of to-day,
the thought might suggest itself that the
exhibitors of palatable wares would ind
some difficulty in filling up the vast space
in the big Larkin-street building. The
fact that all but few sections in the lore
remote parts of the ground floor have al
ready been taken is vouched for by +. l..
Mcguire. who has interested himself In
the business emu OF Lu6 SNOW.
Every form of food product. articles
used in cooking and table deicacies will
be shown, while daily lectures on "HOw
to Cook Well' will be delivered with
practical demonstrations by Mrs. Mary l.
Lincoln, president of the Boston Cooking
School and author of the Boston Cook
Book" who is also recognized authority
in culinary matters.
Mrs. Lincoln achieved great popularity
in Boston society circles while enlighten-
ing the fair sex of the Bean City upon the
art of her choice. This was during the
progress of the Good Food Exposition at
that place, which closed last Novem Der.
AT the close of this show she proceeded
upon the same course at Kansas City and
Denver, and in connection with similar
expeditions won her way into many an
epicurean home.
Willard B. Harrington, president of the
Merchants Club 10 this city, has offered
his support TO the movement and was
placed at the head of the executive COM
mittee.
When seen yesterday he spoke in detail
OF the plans which have been made with
view of carrying the exposition to a sue
cess III issue.
Our aim," he said. sis to give the man.
ufac urers Of pure unadulterated food
products an opportunity to display their
goods to the trade and consumers, and to
true merits Of the articles exhibited.
I'VE intend to pursue the same course
and conduct the show upon the same basis
as characterized the Midwinter EXPOSE
.ion, save only that our exhibits will COM
prise only objects of food.
"In the East these fairs have met with
great success. and aside from a CONNER
cial point of view they have developed in to
society motions, giving rise to the cook
ing fad among the upper ten, which
spread like widfire.
Mrs. Lincoln is responsible for this.
ard the result of her efforts were felt in
every house in which new light was
thrown upon the process of arranging food
to suit the requirements of the digestive
organs"
Mr.. Harrington has list of local society
ladies who have offered themselves as pat
rOnesses of the exposition, after the Gus
Mrs. Potter Palmer, Mrs. DR.. Mary Green
and others prominent in society circles
lent their services and did much to pro-
mote the objects of the movement.
Among other special features to be IN
troduced will be chefs contest for the
best dish. with ornamental and eating
qualities combined. The housekeepers'
bread contest and the High School girls
dessert competition are also on the list and
promise great results.
The Stats Board of Trade has become
interested in the success OF the exposition,
and proposes to make the largest and mos
complete display of California fruits, &C.
reals, ETC., ever made in the State.
The State Board of Horticulture will
also fall in line, and from present indica-
tions the Northern California Citrus Asso-
citation will hold citrus fair iu connection
with the show.
