The first day OF January was origin
ally decided upon as the day OF the
opening Of the Fair, and dedication Of
all the main buildings. When that
day arrived, however not one OF the
main buildings was completed, con-
seqnently no exhibits were to be seen.
As the days advanced the change
was like magic. All the unfinished
buildings commenced to assume their
normal proportions and exhibits roll
ed into their respective departments

The day afterwards decided upon
for the formal and official opening
was Saturday, January 9th. Men,
women and children combined to
make it grand success.

in day that will long be remember
ed by all participants. The weather
was most superb, aud with the golden
beams OF the sun shining upon the
brilliant colors of the lavish decora-
