Sunset day is to mark the close of the
Midwinter Fair, which. from an amuse-
ment standpoint. at least, is to 90 out in a
blaze of glory.
Speculation is rife about the grounds of
the exposition as to The date assigned for
these concluding ceremonies. Much un-
certainty prevails on this point, and ex-
hibitoTs and concessionaires are all eager
to be enlightened. People from the inte-
rier towns who nave not yet visited the big
show are also anxious to know the extent
Of their time limit.
1t was originally intended and an
nounced that the fair should be finally
closed on June 80. Owing to the delay in
starting the enterprise. which was not
formally opened until January q, it has
been frequently intimated that there would
be an extension of the life of the exposi-
ton. Many foreign exhibitors have been
displaying placards for several weeks an
nouncing their displays would close out at
the end of the present month.
LatteTly unofficial statements have been
made that after big demonstration on
the Fourth Of july. The succeeding day
would be the last. No sign has been made
by the administration, which is quietly
lying back and watching developments.
AT the same time the management has
been arranging an amusement programme
for July and a number of dates have al
ready been booked. The Franco-Ameri-
can citizens intend to celebrate the Fall
of the Bastile with two days. celebra-
ton on July IA and 10. and there will be
a number of other important events
Ali contracts with concessiOnaries eX-
pire On June 80, and undoubtedly re-
newals would necessarily be made upon
new terms. Many of the shows state that
they will decline to remain. This threat
the management bears with equanir.ity,
with the explanation that not few of the
shows have become badly frayed at the
edges. They have almost all made some
money and several have acquired bank
accounts, despite their protests of bad
business.
Exhibitors having articles for sale are
likely to remain as long as there seems 10
be chance for clearing off a balance of
uHsOld goods. The California counties all
have displays at the fair which will need
renewal at the end of this month. The
commissioners in charge have been in
correspondence with their constituents
and there is general disposition TO main
tain district exhibits of natural products
during the extension.
The question Of admission has not been
decided by the management. The senti-
ment among members of the executive
committee is for the maintenance of the
50-cent rate. The closing month of an
exhibition is usually its best in point of
attendance. If the management can ar
range programme of attractive fetes a
reduction will be improbable unless
absolutely forced By circumstances
