The Csliformia Mldwinter Inssrna
tional Exposition is now upon the last
month Of fts existence. The grand
closing demonstration Of the exposition
will take place. Wednesday. July 4
when the city and county Of San Fran
cisco will unite with heexposition man
agement in The celebration Of the nv
tional holiday, such as has mover before
been aeen on the Pacific Coast. Thers
will BE- at least 2O,000 people in the pro
cession that win march through the
streets Of San Francisco, and that will
wend its way out through the beautiful
Golden Gate Park into the grounds Of
the wonderful exposition which has
been the scenes Of 50 many grand dem.
orstrations during the past six months,
There win be a grand program Of out
door exercises at the Recreation grounds.
As has been stated in this correspond
ence, there was some doubt about the
date Of the official closing Of the exposi.
ton. The sir months fromthe date Of
the actual opening win not expire until
July "a, but since the six months legal
duration Of tho expedition expires on the
first Of July, II has been thought best to
let the Fourth, July celebration bo the
closing official demonstration, though
the gates win be kept up, and 25-cent
admission viii probably be charged dur
ing the month Of July, even though the
removal Of the exhibits and the tearing
down Of some of the buildings will then
he in progress. Some of the concession
aires have manifested their determine
lion to stay on the grounds as long as
there are likely to be any people at all,
and everybody win concede that there
viii BE- something Of an exposition as
long as the sideshows remain.
What is to become of the magnificent
buildings which have proven so much
more attractive to the public than the
exposition management dared to hope Is
still an open question. Director General
de Young, acting for the executive COM
mittee, has offered to the Golden Gate
Park commissioners the two buildings
known as the Fine ARTS building and
the Administration building. The first
10 offered to be used as permanent mu-
scum for San Francisco. It is a durable
fireproof structure and viii Withstand
the tempered elements Of San Francisco
for many, many years. As q work Of
architectural art, it is conceded to be
more than satisfactory, and will GER
tainly make q beautiful permanent
monument of the exposition itself. 1t
- proposed that the park commissioners
shall use the Administration building as
. headquarters for the commissioners,
and as place Of public convenience tor
visitors to the park.
An offer has also been made In this
connection for the preservation Of the
Liberal Arts building Is place for the
