depression Just beyond this very building
in which he was speaking.
The opening day of the great orange
blossom show in the Southern California
building was big success, and the mana
gers of the building had their hands full in
attempting to entertain the tremendous
crowd of people that snrged through from
the moment the doors opened until the
closing hour.
Owing to the shape in which the bios
SONS came it was found to be impossible
to carry out the original idea OF festOoning
the building and exhibits with ropes made
of the sweet-scented blossoms. Instead Of
the small punches which were expected,
and which are convenient in size for
decorative purposes, large limbs were sent,
and there was not time enough to trim and
have them in readiness for the open ing in
such quantities as was expected.
Notwithstanding his, there were bios
SONS everywhere in the Southern Calif0r-
MIA building, and there were few teope
about the grounds who did not carry OF
wear q spray OF fragrant buds.
The decorations, though not so CON-
plets as the management would have
liked, were very pretty and effective. The
vestibule OF the building was covered SOL
idly with small sprigs of the blossoms.
and there was most delicate fragrance in
he atmosphere.
Small branches of the sweet smelling
blooms were stuck between the oranges
which compose the pyramids and every
other device in which oranges have been
employed. Great branches covered with
blossoms hung from almost every avail
able point of the gallery.
Al the work of decorating the building
had been done after the building closed
Thursday night and was beautifully per-
feet when the doors were opened yester-
day morning.
But visitors were not satisfied with
viewing the display and decorations
They wanted blossoms as souvenirs, and
although the management had not con-
templated distributing them until to-mor-
row they were unable to Withstand the re-
peated calls, and the giving away OF BIOS
SONS went on all day long.
At 10 o'clock this morning oranges will
be given to the newsboys, and orange
blossoms will be given away this after
noon.
To-day 1900 newsboys will have an out
ing at the fair. They will be furnished
with free Transportation to the grounds,
free admission at the turns'iles and en-
trance to most of the concessions The
county commissioners will provide the
boys with oranges and raisins, and they
have promise of more fun than has over
taken one set of children since the fair
