Saturday night the exposition will close.
The final night will be the occasion for the
Native Sons and Daughters to do the
honors, and there will certainly be fine
programme and great attends nce. There
VIII be short addresses, and music byNative
Sons, and it Is expected that the two ex-
position buildings will not be half large
enough to accommodate those who boast
OF being born in the Golden West.
This was charity day. and the proceeds
Will be divided among the four leading
charitable societies of Oakland. The Acme
Club provided the programme tonight,
and their athletic exercises proved some
what of a revelation to thousands of ladies
TO whom a gymnasium is as sealed book.
superintendent Craigie Sharp, who had
a large experience at the Midwinter Fair,
and who has been the handspring of the
local shows, is greatly surprised at the
manner in which the people of Alameda
County have patroniZed the exposition.
at is a marked success financially, and in
every other way" ne said to-day.
ut is now an assured fact that there will
be an annual fair in this city, but the ques-
ton to be met is, where shall it be held?
1t has been proved that this building is
only about one-third as large as is abso-
lutely necessary and an adequate one
should be created at once. The trouble
with large buildings is that the investors
cannot see a way of getting returns from
their investment. In the case of Oakland,
the demand for large building is appa-
rent on every hand, and with yearly ex-
position it could be good property. If
fair association were organized they could
erect a suitable building for $4,000 The
profits from this show will probably be
as nucleus for fund of this sort, and if
1t were judiciously arranged with stores
for rent permanent exposition building
would be a marked advantage.
ALREADY several lots have been offered
for the erection of such a building, but
nothing suits so well as this one, and the
owner has shown himself to be very gen.
erous in the past, and l think we could
obtain a very favorable lease of it. Sue
cessful as this has been it is but a starter,
and if the show were held earlier in the
year when frdit and flowers are plentiful
Alameda County could make a display
that would astonish her own people. This
show was organized and the doors opened
within month. II exhibitors knew six
months ahead of time they would prepare
exhibits that would greatly eclipse any,
thing here now"
