A naval pageant on the bay on April 10
will be one of the features of San Diego
day, which Will give that eounty's celebra-
tion aD especial interest.
To the Naval Reserve is due the credit
which will result frUSn the marine supple
ment 10 the Midwinter attractions. That
aquatic organization will participate in the
naval maneuyers. and in fact will virtually
conduct them. Since the trip TO Santa
Cruz year ago the Naval Reserve has had
no practical ocean drill. There are three
companies of this complement of Cali
fornia's coast defenses stationed in this
city. and one company at San Diego.
In view of San Diego's active connection
with the State organization, Commander
Stable considered that it would be grace
ful courtesy to participate officially in the
celebration of the southern city. Accord
iDgly he communicated with the Secretary
of the Navy and asked that Government
cruiser should be assigned for the re-
serves maneuvers.
The Secretary promptly responded by
laclng the Yorktown at the disposal of
the reserve. The three companies formed
among the residents Of this city will go
aboard the ship and will there meet the
San Diego company. which will come
hither expressly to take part in the cele-
bratlOn. In addition to drill and inspec-
tien several naval novelties will be intro
duced in connection with the practical
experience of the citiZen-sailors.
Considerable emotion was developed
about the Administration building by
The CALLS exclusive publication on
Sunday OF the precise financial sia'us of
the exposition. The Directur-General ac-
cused the cashier of having divulged the
Information, and The cashier suspected the
OiIoctOf-0eHeTdi. EdCH Oh the cnleIs OF
departments was in turn charged with
maintaining or encouraging leak"
With a Temarka Bile unanimity of opinion
each of these officials stated that The
CALLS figures concerning receipts and
expenditures were so accurate that some
one of the others must have taken state
ments from the casnbook. Members of
the original finance committee and of tie
committee of fifty were intensely inter-
ested in THE CALLS disclosures, which
contained the very information those COM
mittees have tried SO long to secure.
Both Saturday and Sunday were profit
able days for he exposition. On the lasi
day of the week the cash receipts at the
turnstiles amounted to S4700, and on Sun
day to within $500 of the same sum. Com
missions from concessions on Saturday
netted the Midwinter Fair management
about S1400, and on Sunday $3.50 Even
the proverOial dull Monday, with
threatening sky, the attendance was sur
prlslngly good and the concessions did
good business. AT late hour last night
the precise cash receipts for yesterday mad
not been counted, although the total ad.
missions. pass and pay, were Jumped TO-
gelher. The commissions from the expo
sitiop's pro rata at the concessions is not
determined at once, and sometimes not
until TWO days after the close of the even
ing's busin ess.
Another desperate character arrived at
Sunset City Yesterday and will remain in-
definitely. He has bad character as
frontier ruffian, and more than few mur-
ders ars laid 10 his door. Jim Logan is the
name of this brigand, and be is masQuer-
aiding In the guise of an ostrich. The ex-
ecutiye committee considers him the most
vicious and immoral bird extant. he has
some despicable characteristics and is yery
treachetous toward his antagonists.
Jim is big, ungainly ostrch with long
neck antIrplV ha Id q is a
Ethiopian. and emigTated from Africa five
years ago, residing in the interim ut the
Norwalk ostrich farm, near Los Angeles
On the voyage from the Cane of Good Hone
he killed three of his neighbors, while
suffering from alleged temporary aberra-
ton. Coming up from Los Angeles yes
terday he bad another attack of the same
kind, and attempted to tear his crate TO
pieces. Then he frightened his owner by
a desperate attempt at suicide by the
starvation process.
Jim Logan's arrival at the fair grounds
created CONSERVATION among the other
birds in the paddock, where he was iurned
loose. He raced around the inclosure at a
Nancy Hanks gait for the balance OF the
day.
Yesterday was originally placed upon the
exposition programme as Oregon day, but
the failure of the people or Oregon to raise
the necessary funds for tie erection of
their proposed building has initiated
against a celebration of Oregon day so
early in the season. II is reported. now
ever, that an Oregon celebration will take
place some time during the latter part OF
the fair. Wednesday, the 28h. was to
have been Santa Barbara day. but that
day has been postponed until such time as
arrangements shall be completed. il pos.
sible, for transferring the Santa Barbara
flower festival to the exposition.
The orange-growers of San Bern ardino
County have insisted all along that the
snortness of the time for preparation for
their display in the interstate citrus CON-
petition at the ext tositon precluded their
making creditable showing and Manager
Grow. who now has San BeIDardino
Connty's interests in charge at the exposi-
ton. is working UP special exhibit of the
citrus fruits of that county with view to
showing that her oranges are second to
none. The people OF the county are enter
inp heartily into the scheme, and a new
citrus exhibit may therefore be expected.
Perhaps the greatest number in the re-
marka bic musical programme which John
