samples, cooked or uncooked, were dis
played for distribution, and no Won
der, for the cooked viands were most
alluring. In one booth We're fried oys-
ters, cooked to the Queens taste, or
ours either. Farther on was Welsh
rarebit, and fine tea. A little farther
one came to the daintiest of baking
powder biscuits, baked by electricity
and buttered with creamery butter,
while close by We're delicious canned
fruits offered. Next came delicate pan
cakes and root beer, while across the
aisle was luscious, tempting jelly of
various colors, and close by the various
products of the Ann Arbor Bakery,
which had opened a booth during the
day. The booth where cocoa was dis
tributed in dainty cups finished the
round, while next to it were the dain-
test of jams and jellies.
Who would not be happy under such
circumstances, especially when he had
his best girl on his arms and was
gratifying her appetite without a
haunting fear that he was mortgaging
his salary for six months to do it.
But these were not the only attrac-
tions, as the exhibit is Well worth ex-
amining from beginning to end.
The home bicycle races came first,
in which time is almost annihilated.
Thomas WEIGH and Lester Young rode
the first race, the former winning the
mile in 30 seconds.
Then the machine got a little cranky,
and even the pistol of Duke Ten Bosch,
the starter, refused to go off and start
the racers. The hoOdoo was scared
away, however. and a. Patterson
made a mile against time in 56 sec
onds, although one foot Slipped from
the pedal, and he made the last quar-
ter with only one leg in action. The
trouble will be removed Tonight.
Leoni gave her serpentine dances
and the Chinese dances followed, COM
pleting THAT part of the programme.
The animatoscope was the feature of
the evening and surpassed anything
that has ever before been seen here,
and won the hearty applause of the
audience. The moving figures Were
natural ais life, and the mechanism by
which they are produced lis most won
derful. There was a wait between the
pictures last night, but tonight the
pictures will be continuous, no time
being lost between them. Following
were those shown:
Feeding the doves, Cfssy Fitzgerald
and dances, the burning stable, going
to the fire, the Buffalo horse market,
the Sunset Limited coming into Sacra-
mento depot.
Those to- night will be: The sun
flower dance, the serpentine shadow
dance, surf scene, comic pictures, col
ored pictures, and same as shown last
night.

mento crackers yesterday, while an
other exhibitor gave away half-pOund
packages of macarond, and nearly every

A slight change has been made in
the special music: The Ideal Mandolin
Club. Charles Stever director, will rem
der splendid selections of music on
Thursday night instead of Friday
night, as at first announced. This was
brought about from the fact that Spe-
Gial musical attractions for Friday
night were too many to permit of all
appearing. The Monday Night Orches-
ira and Professor Franz also appear
that Thursday night.
The scramble for samples of fried oys-
ters at the orange and yellow decorated
booth at the right side of the hall gives
one an idea of how well-cooked foods are
relished by ladies.

Of the many who stand in front of the
booth.
