THE COMING OBJECT LESSON.
Additional Features Of the GrOCerS' Food
Exhibition.
Visitors Will be Enabled to See
the Famous riagiscope in
Operation.

Hail, is being widely discussed, not only
by grocers and manufacturers, but by
the housewives of the city. The ques-
tion of practical cookery is uppermost
in the minds of the latter at present.
and if they can be shown the necessities
of purchasing purer raw food products
and the grocers can supply them, it will
be happy day for all concerned.
SO far the best makers of food pro-
ducts have taken space, and high class
and standard gauge foods will be shown
and demonstrated In fact, the manu-
facturers of poor goods are not exhibit
ing, and do not care to see such an eX-
hibition made successful.
Armory Hall on the dates named,
February 20th to 9th. will be re-
splendent with beautifully lighted.
handsomely decorated and costly
booths, and the management Will also
clean and beatuify the interior of the
hall and rooms adjoining. Many extra
arc lights will be placed in the hall and
one outside the entrances. The manage
ment have perfected many of the details.
especially those pertaining to the special
attractions.
A local company is to build the home
trainer bicycle machine, and it Will have
three-foot dial and register one mile,
with eighths and quarters. This will be
in plain view of the audience, and al
ready the interest among wheelmen is
great and results in bringing many fast
riders to the office on street to make
application for entry blanks.
One good feature of home trainer
races is that they do not require an
l.. A. W. sanction, being held in Eastern
expositions and at Los Angeles without
such sanction. The L. A. w. rules reg
ulating cash prizes are however OBJ
served and no amateur races with a
professional nor with any rider under
suspension for any cause by the L. A. W.
Some handsome and valuable prizes viii!
be given and care taken in making the
handicaps so that good sport may be
looked for.
Manager Buckley, during his recent
trip to San Francisco, secured one of the
finest moving picture machines made.
1t reproduces all of the latest views and
scenes. including a realistic fire scene,
a mounted police parade, scene at Sixth
famous sun dance, comical scenes, etc
These pictures are thrown on a large
screen and never fail to score hit of
goodly proportions. They are precisely
similar in all ways to those projected by
the vitaScope, which was Edison's orig
inal machine and the first made in this
country, or the cinemetograph which
was the invention of the Lumeres of
Lyons, France. and exhibited by them
in England, France ard European coun-
tries for two years prior to the inven-
ton of the vitascope.
Since the Introduction of these r4a-
chimes workers in Photographic and
electrical fields have perfected many
similar machines, all working on the
film picture plan, having spools over
which the films run. and which, by the
aid Of calcium or arc lights. are pro-
jected through powerful lenses on white
screens They had been variously
styled Microscopes, 'prOjectscopes,
"kineometOgraphs, = 'eidoliscopes, -
"magiscopes,' "ananatoscopes, etc,
and it simply remains. for the astutc
manager of an entertainment to select
the machine with the best picture films
and best lens, and which works the
more evenly and naturally, to get the
best results.
Manager Buckley thinks, after seeing
all the various ones in operation, that
the magiscope is superior and will be a
delightful surprise to every visitor to
the exposition. The cost is consid-
cradle, but it will be big attraction to
thousands who have not yet seen these
pictures, and ali those who have will
want to see this one operated
The cooking lectures of course will
deeply interest the ladies. The plan of
selling for one dollar a season or lee
ture ticket, good for six admissions,
and transferable, will no doubt result
in pleasing Sacramento ladies who had
expected to pay much more to hear
lectures of this character or to attend
a modern cooking school. These tickets
will be on sale at grocers and at the
managers office from now until the
Dist, when, being intended to favor la
dies who really desire to attend the full
cooking lecture course, they will be
withdrawn from sale. They can be
used by any one person-man, woman
or child-six times, or six persons can
use them one time, etc. 1t makes a
very low rate of admission and at least
1000 tickets should be taken at once
The musical concerts, cooking demon
stra tions in booths, baby show, Com
mercial Travellers Day, Native Sons
and Daughters Day. quartet singing.
etc, will all form great attractions and,
together with plenty Of free samples
and lots of advertising novelties given
away, should pack Armory Hall for this
occasion.
