spread the rails while switching. The
cars were thus delayed for an hour or so.

pretty effects resulted.
A somewhat am using effect was produced
by one well-known Market-street store,
which displayed among its loyal decora-
tions and invitations of welcome three or
four portraits of the late lamented George
Washington. The eye of the beholder was
at once caught by the benign features of

THE CEREMONIES.

throats and swelled above the volume Of
melody produced by the grand chorus of
800 voices, accompanied by the five bands
playing in concert the Star spangled

blessing upon the enterprise so happily In
augurated.
Suggestive Of all the activity of a battle

| Troops of cavalry galloped over the
wide recreation ground: companies of in
fantry stood with presented arms in front
of the 5000 occupants of the grand stand.
and the batteries of light artillery scat
tered over the surrounding hillocks and
puffs of white smoke following the salute
arose from clumps of trees and mingled
in martial din with the other enliven-
ing sounds of the moment. Few of the
spectators could withstand the enthusiasm
of the scene, and even the ladies waved
white emblems of their appreciation.
Auspcious in its designations of Mid

fair grounds they flocked into the grounds.
The turnstile never ceased TO revolye even
for moment until the dusk of the early
evening set in, and then those who had al

evening contingent, who had come out
specially to see the fireworks
Thousands spent the entire day and
evening atSunset City. They breakfasted
at home, but they lived at the exposition
grounds. Many brought lunches along
and divided into small parties and satisfied
their hunger in picnic style. All of the
restaurants were literally patronized, and
would-be patrons were obliged to struggle
for chairs and tables. The regulation pro-
gramme for the all-day visitor provided for
the morning in the official buildings, the
noon hours at the dedicatory exercises,
and the afternoon among the concessions.

GOING TO THE OPENING

From an early hour the streets were
alive with people, mostly dressed in their
Sunday best. For was not this the most
eyeDtful day in ages? The fog. which hung
over the city at break of day, finally broke,
making room for the sweet sunshine. The
still wet pavements resounded with the
pattering of many feet. big and small. in
the rush to the waiting cars.
All the car companies rose to the occa-
sion, aud every available means of trans
port was pressed into service. 1t puzzled
not few at first to see Howard street
car, gayly decked OUT with bunting, sliding
leisurely along Market street, until the
words "McAllisier street," which had been
hastily laid on for the day, showed the
people that extra force was in use. Just
before 10 o'clock was the busiest time of
the day. Then car after car went out
laden with holiday ekers, while the south
of Market-street contingent must have
driven a sorry trade. True. all cars did
rot do so we'll as others. even on Market
street, as the McAllister and Geary street
cars. togather with the POwell-street sys-
TEN. having direct means of transport to
the fair grounds, naturally took precedence
in public favor.
the rush continued until about noon,
when matters took an easier turn. Then
it was that an easy-g ding don't-wish- to be-
Hurried sort of person could get some
chance of finding a seat. thus getting the
full value of his nickel. Matters remained
thus quiet, quieter even than ON any ordi-
nary Sunday. until quite late in the after
moo d. when the cars came rolling down
into the city. one after another, and most
laden with people who preferred a quiet
dinner at home to the first day scramble at
the fair before returning to witness the
evenings fun.
Various ways besides that of the cable
cars were adopted by the multitude in
their anxiety to be there. Market street
was lined with every description Of
vehicle. gliding along in all-conscious mai
esty. TrOlleys. wagons. bnggies. horse
carts. mule-carts. donkey-carts, char-a-
banes and hacks all joined in the throng,
all displaying, either by bunting or other
outward SHOW of loyalty, that business
was laid aside for day.
One energetic huckster, who was drag
ging his sorry team along with q rattle
trap old vegetable cart behind them, was
so imbued with ideas Of the solemnity of
the occasion and the necessity of presery-
ing dignified demeanor that he walked
his turnout into abrupt collision with an
inoffensive horse and buggy htched up to
the sidewalk. The buggy horse snorted
and made q break for store window, but
he was stopped. Mean while the teamster,
wondering at the sudden obstruction to bis

grounds there was room enough for all to
move about comfortably, though the
crowd in front of the grand stand was
somewhat up pie asantly dense.
The ceremony Of touching the electric
button seemed to be especially interesting
to the majority OF the immense audience,
and when it was performed and for the
time being pandemonium seemed to have
broken loose in consequence. everybody
seemed to be delighted thereby.
The various concessions did land-ofice
business ell the afternoon, and restaur-
ants and cafes were overwhelmed with
customers. many of the visitors to The
grounds planning to stay until after the
pyrotechnic display Of the evening.

from the faces Of the concessionaires the
opening day of the fair was, in their esti-
nation, an unlimited success.
Extra cars having been put on all the
lines there was little difficulty about
handling the crowd on its homeward way,
nor in carrying up the many who returned
for the evening.
The fireworks attracted large crowd to
the vicinity of the grand stand, and were
magnificent enough to we'll deserve the
hearty applause with which they were re-
ceived.
1t was tired crowd which made its way
home under the starlight. but it was a
well satisfied crowd, too, for every one in
it felt that the day had been what they
hope and believe the fair will be-a per-
feet success.
