The traffic department of the Midwinter

continue to be very shy at Sunset City,
and the peremptory rule requiring dis

Exhibitors having cars scattered ali over

to them. Strenuous efforts are being
made to collect these wandering cars. but
the task is proving more difficult than
their original shipment.
Every day some new evidence comes to
light of the way in which consgnments
have been improperly shipped hither from
Chicago. The waybills show no specific
route, and in consequence the cars have
been scattered over half the side lines on
the continent The traffic officials at this
end of the line are in despair. Articles
have been Jumped together on the hills in

Who wouldn't be San Francisco child
when San Francisco is doing so many de-
!ightful things continually for her small
men and women?
A week ago was their never-to-b be-
forgotten picnic in the park and yesterday
the Midwinter Fair opened its gates &c
them and made them welcome during the
long sunny afternoon.
Thousands of children accepted the in
Vitaton which had been so cordially and
generously extended to the young people
of our town, and from l o'clock until late
in the afternoon the streets Of the Palm
City were fairly alive with them.
Some came under the escort OF their
fathers or their mothers; some were ac-
cOmpanied not only by their parents, but
by their grandparents, aunts, uncles and
grown-up cousins, and many of the youth
full visitors came wholly unattended, most
of them in jolly little parties OF five or six.
every memb Der Of which chartered like a
maybe the whole afternoon and will
doubtless chatter for many days to come
concerning the wonderful things which
were TO be seen on every hand.
OF course, there we're number of vastly
inYitiug-looking places, the interiors of
which could not be viewed unless one pos
SeSsed the open sesame" of small change.
Many OF the children were fortunate in
this respect, but those VINO were not were
by no means to be pltied since there were
more things 10 look at and enjoy, which
cost them nothing. than they could posi-
Div G o justice 10 in the time allotted them.
In the first place there were the beauti-
full buildings, IN and around which were
loads of curioS and wonderful things piled
waiting TO be placed in their proper posi-
tons. The Street of Cairo" was open to
all corners, and the rious bazaars, with
their oddly CARRIED and impRssive Oriental
attendants, proved very attractive. At
Daniel BOOne'S arena Mons. Natalie with
his performing hogs and Mons. Coos with
his wrestling bear gave an exhibition in
the open air for the special benefit Of those
children who had not the pocket money TO
spare TO invest in tickets TO the regular en-
tertainment, even at the reduced rates
which were made for this especial occa-
sion.

having an adequate viticulture display at
the Midwinter Exposition, and Mr.. Haber
is to be congratulated on the happy result
of his labors.
The last effective step iD this matter was
taken by Messrs. Epstein, BuGdschu, Pri-
Der and Wetmore, the executive commit
tee on the part of the exhibitors. who
stated their case to Governor Markham
and the State Board of Equalization, and
who secured financial aid from that source
and also the assurance of Govern or Mark
ham that the State would accord them
every possible aid In making q representa-
tive viticultuTal exhibit. They have now
gone ahead with their plans, have secured
satisfactory design and will begin erec-
! ton at once.
The building which is TO be constructed
will be 5Gx25, will be surmounted by a
dome, with tower at each corner, and
will be covered with staff in keeping with

| main entrance will resemble the head of

| to the roof and surmounted by an allego-

prominent part. On either side of this en-
trance will be piles OF rocks on which a
