HE FIRTH WHEEL IN OPERATION

Kilauea, the famous volcano of Hawaii,
was viewed yesterday at the Midwinter
Fair grounds through the medium of a
realistic cyclorama. Presented under a
night effect it produced a profound i'm
preston upon those specially invited to
inspect what is a genuine work of art.
Officials of the exposition, Hawaiian
citizens temporarily residing in San Fran
cisco and representatives of the press
were specially invited TO inspect this feat
ure of the exposition. Electric-lighting
. effects were peculiarly effective. At an
appointed time in the proceedings the high
priest, Kahuna, offered an invocation to
the goddess Pele. Later there was music
from a quartet of natives. Refreshments
were served during the reception that fol-
lowed the view of the cycloroma.
Judging from the attendance at the ex-
position during the week there will be
large crowds OF visitors at the grounds to-
day and tomorrow. Yesterday 1903 per-
sons paid admission at the gates of the
exposition. Many people seem 10 have
the idea that because the fair has not
been officially opened there is nothing to
see at Sunset City. This is a great mis-
take. In addition to the attractions at the
various concessions the buildings now
have exhibits which are partially in
stalled.
Marked progress in the installation of
displays has been made within the past
few days, and this is particularly notice
able in the Manufacturers building. The
Austrian facade IS now practically CON-
pleted. The Ceylon pavilion and its sur
rounding tea garden, with all its rare
woods and delicate carvings, is one of its
best features. New features for displays
are Springing up on every hand. The
:. British exhibit is altogether The most COM
. pIete thus far in the building. On the east
wall there are number of private exhibits
by California nrms which make credit
able display. and the Manufacturers
building will present an attractive appear
ance within the next week.
