htbit CalifDrnia's Vintage.

Washington, March ia considera-
BILE portion OF the California midwinter
exposition is at present on Its way
across the continent, enroute for New
York city. Many Of the most attractive
features are being transplanted bodily
from the Golden Gate to the immense
floor OF the Madison Square garden.
This second edition Of the great expo
sition will be opened early In May and
will continue throughout the entire
month. The west Is making much OF
this opportunity to teach the east some
thing OF the magnitude Of it's industries.
1t is safe to say 1t has never before been
so well represented on the Atlantic
coast.
The principal endeavor Of the expo
sition authorities will be to impress New
York with the magnitude and quality
of CALIFORNIA; vintage. To this end the
visitors to the c exposition are to
be treated to the most remarkable OBJ
ject lesson Of its kind ever seen. A
gigantic cascade OF claret wine, as large
as a river. is TO dash and foam over
rocks OF coiored glass FOR r. Whole
month for the edification and refresh
ment Of thousands OF visitors.

back to the source. to begin its Journey
all over again. but the machinery fol
