how to buy it, and then how to prepare
it to the best advantage.
Our sister city, the southern nletropo-
lis, Les Angeles, just closed a week
ago an exposition of a similar charac-
ter, and 1T was a grand success.
1t is the object of the Grocers' Union
and Managers Buckley and Pease to
give you high class entertainment and
I hope We may merit your confidence
and cooperation, in which event this
exposition will go down in history as
A gala week for Sacramento.
At the close of his remarks Mr..
Jest was lthe recipient of a handsome
bouquet, consisting of a single cauli-
flower, accompanied by a mammoth
card from one of his admirers.
BLAIR'S ADDRESS.
He then called on H. r. Blair, the
Secretary of the Executive COMMITTEES,
who spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: l shall cut
my remarks as short as possible, be-
lieving that in some cases the shorter
an address the better it is, especially
when you have SO many more interest
ing things to claim your attention than
listening to a first speech.
The object of this food exhibit is pri-
marily an educational one, and here
you will find the whole science of do
mestic economy practically eXpounded
You can learn for yourselves how to
properly care for the inner man and
| would call the attention of sweet
hearts, wives ard mothers to the fact
that Emerson's saying that the way to
mans heart is through his stomach
has never geen gainsaid.
1t is as necessary to feed man prop
erly Cor a woman either as it is to
| properly care for a horse If your
husband. father or brother is a hard
working man, one who has to exercise
muscular force in his struggle for your
daily bread, see to it that he goes to
his work properly equipped with food
of the right kind to sustain his muscu-
lar force. 1t is wonderful how much
W Noman can tighten the labors of those
she feeds by feeding them properly.
The same dinner that will tighten the
work of a man doing hard labor might
not set so easy on the stomach of
bank clerk or bookkeeper. But all that
will be more interestingly explained
to you than | am able to do it by Miss
Tracy in series of cooking lectures
she will deliver every afternoon, and
believe no woman in Sacramento will
be ignorant of the proper methods of
preparing food after attending these
lectures.
1 will guarantee that If you follow
| Miss Tracys instructions your cake will
always be cake and not all dough. The
| queer results Of the blind efforts of
some alleged cooks remind me of the
story of the little girl who was having
a desperate struggle learning to sew.
| Her mother asked her what she was
making and the little one replied that
| she was trying to make her doll a
| jacket. but it came out a pair of pants.
| To those demonstrating the worth of
| their commodities at QUIZ first food ex-
hibit [ will state that an exhibit of
| this kind is of inestimable value to
| them. You can reach more people here
in a few hours with the same effort
| than you could in week by a house to
house or store to store demonstration.
No matter how good thing is, too
much of that same thing becomes after
time tiresome, and Mr. Buckley, be-
| lieving that variety is the spice of life,
| has incidentally provided a fine series
Of interesting features for your enter
| tainment. You will be treated every
evening 30 exciting bicycle races on the
first home trainer ever exhibited in this
city. The fact of the Capital City
Whealmen having charge of the races
is a guarantee of their interest. An
other most pleasing ard wonderful in
vention is THE vitascope or moving pic
lures. Our baby show has already over
sixty entries and the articles to be
given to the prize winners are most ap-
propriate and valuable.
The musical features will be attended
to by Charles Neale, who has done
more towards furnishing the citizens of
Sacramento with good instrumental
| music than any other conductor of
music in the State. Mrs. Moeller and
Miss Ida Clinch will see to it that
| YOU are treated to the very best vocal
music Some Of our most beautiful
children will treat you to fancy dances
and our best solo instrumentalists will
| help drive duh care away.
Now, do not spare the exhibitors
| They came here to have you taste their
wares and see that you do so. Eat
| drink and be merry, and don't forget to
come often.
Mr. Blair also received a bouquet
more in the line of utility than beauty.
MANAGER BUCKLEY TALKS.
Manager Buckley being called on
| made a few remarks, saying that 1T
was with pleasure that ne met intelli-
! gent people. He always met intelligent
| people at food expoSitions. He hoped
at this time to demonstrate the value
| of tham. There We're always a few
drawbacks on an opening night, but
| Monday they would be remedied There
viii be a variety of attractions next
week, amongst them the vitascope Mr..
| Blair made a slight mistake in the
number Of babies entered for the show
as it WAS nearly 100. He hoped those
present would come as often as they
could stay as long as they could and
eat everything in the exhibit, as that
was what it was brought there for
| He welcomed them all
