EXPOSITION NOTES.
The well-known Sacramneto profess
sional rider, Ira r. May, will ride an
exhibition mile on the home trainer
bicycle machine at the Food Exposition
tonight
The fact that the Southern Pacific
pay car is a potent factor in local
| amusements was demonstrated last
night by the big attendance of South
ern Pacific Railway employees and fam
lies With several receptions of prom
inence in the city and both theaters go
ing, the exposition more than held its
own.
| The anmatoscope has made the
greatest hit of any similar affair ever
brought to this city. There is as much
difference between its wonderful NOV
ing pictures and any similar ones
shown here previously as there is be-
tween night and day. The pictures
are thrown from the machine at the
north end of the Armory on to a huge
screen 1Sx20 feet, with handsome
painted border like a picture frame
and located at the south end of the
hall.
The films pass rapidly over spools,
and at the rate of thirtyseven pictures
a second. This makes the kintescopic
effect of moving figures life like in
size and realistic. The Widow Jones
| Kiss, the pictures of the colored boy
who sits fishing and who falls into the
pond, and the rushing Sunset Limited
train all attract attention. Tonight is
the last chance to see it.
Following is the programme for to-
day:
