The Midwinter Fair was captured yes
terday by Ireland, and the intelligent peo-
pie of the green little isle were not slow in
graspng the opportunity 10 criticize
everything worth seeing. Specially were
they attracted by the exhibits from the
various counties of California.
Nearly avery visitor to the Southern
California building wants to place his or
her name on the mammoth register which
stands near the entrance and has the dis
tinction of being "the biggest book In the
xE q
above il. This desire to register was the
cause of several blOckadeS In the building
yesterday. and at times people could get
neither In nor out, owing TO the crowd at
the entrance.
The man whose duty it is to look after
the book was pow erleSs to keep the crowd
iB line. and the efforts Of half the force in
the building were required TO keep things
going smoothly. From an hours count Of
the numb Der of visitors entering the build
ing Superintendent Frank Virgins estl-
mates that 10000 people inspected the
display yesterday. A very small proper
ion succeeded In registering, but thou
sands of new names had been added tn
the list of visitors when the closing hour
arrived.
The San Bernardino County exhibit in
the Southern California building has been
greatly enlarged in the last two days, and
is now much more varied. A large bank
structed. and makes an attractive addition
to the display. The mineral exhibit has
also been increased by the addition of new
ores and marble, and a large wine display
is now being installed.
Superintendent Virgins OF the Southern
California building received a PERSONAL
letter yesterday from President Cleveland,
acknowledging the receipt of the box of
prize oranges sent him from the Southern
Citrus Fair.
The greatest of all the attractions to be
presented at the exposition to-day will IN
doubleday be the app earance OF Sousa's
band. by sheer force OF merit John Phil y
Sousa has secured what are considered the
greatest band engagements of the country,
those of Manhattan Beach, Madison-sQuare
Garden and the MIdwinter Fair. AT the
Columbian ExI ositiOn in Chicago he was
the conspicuous figure, unsteady speaking.
L nat ne WI occupy similar position at
Sunset City there is little doubt. The
band will arrive from triumphant con-
cert tour across The continent this morn
ing, ard will commence 8 five weeks en-
gsgement at the exposition grounds this
afternoon. The programmes of Sunday
