to test and taste. In the East and |
where hundreds of these cookery talks /!
have been made by Sarah T. Rogers, |
Mrs Lincoln, Miss Parloa, Miss Cross,
and others. the visitors bring spoons,
fork and napkin from home. 1t is per-
fectly proper to do So and, in fact, is
advisable
These lectures last something over
one hour and during this rendition
there will be no demonstrating in
booths and no music. At the conclu-
sion Neale's orchestra will render sew
eral selections, and there will be home
training bicycle races by children.
This being Washington's Birthday
and a legal holiday, there will no doubt
be many children present and many of
the exhibitors have provided extra sam
pies of candies, picture cards, etc, for
the boys and girls.
The first two hundred ladies buying
tickets OF admission this afternoon will
receive half-pound boxes of Sacra-
mento crackers, and there are again
300 halfpound packages of Royal mac
aroni to give out to-day to ladies.
The anfma toscope, which arrived by
express yesterday, Will be in position
before l o'clock this afternoon Pro-
fessor Badger, who operated THE anirna-
tOscope that was such an attraction t
Los Angeles, will operate the olIe shown
here. He is an expert, and guarantees
that every picture will be clear and dis
tinGt, with no blurring or dimness of
outlines and figures. This machine is
the one recently built for Catalina Is
land and cost many hundreds of dol
lars. In the balcony, at the north end,
q small canvas-covered house where
| Professor Badger works the animate
scope has be5n built and decorated.
| The pictures viii be thrown on hand
some drop-curtain painted to resemble
"a huge frame, at the south end of the
| hall
Tomorrow comes the congress of
ba bies. Probably nothing ever ar
ranged for outside the electric carnival
has caused more comment or attracted
| more widespread attention in Sacra-
| mento and neighboring towns. The
complete entry list of 104 babies is re-
markable There Were SO many little
ones entered that it was necessary to
positively close the list at 6 p. m. on
| Saturday and to refuse fully a dozen
babies that evening. 1t is claimed that
| this is tine largest number of ba bies
ever brough together in any event of
a public nature ON the Pacific Coast,
and it certainly speaks will for the
Food Exposition's method of making
known the fact of the baby show.
The names of the judges and terms
of prize awarding will be announced in
to-morrow's Record Union" and at
| A,,r1o1.u HILL io1l1lt THE mana
ment states that as there were many
more prizes to be given to-day it was
deemed best to publish in the regular
| advertisement of the Exposition to-
morrow morning the articles and the
names of the donors. The champion
ship prize Win be a handsome baby
loving cup, suitably inscribed There
were, however, many new articles given
yesterday, among them being a ham,
case of cereals, a dozen packages of
Semola, a fancy cup, another chair,
| baby bathtub, bottle of Castoria, a
| picture album, a silk bib for baby's
dress parade. etc.
The many organizations and societies
that took tickets to dispose of to mem
bers and friends on a benefit plan are
now commencing to sell them at a live
ly rate. Two big firms offered TO pur-
chase a lot of tickets yesterday, but
unless these are given away either TO
| employees or to customers the tickets
cannot be bought in lots. This action
will prevent them being disposed of at
less than the regular 25cent rate of
admission. The season tickets of six
admissions, ON ONE ticket, and transfer
rable. for 81, win be sold to-day and
tonight by retail grocers, at Neale's
music store. several book stores and
at the Ar'mOry Hail box office UP to 10
D. M to-day. Being intended only as
q. course ticket to lectures. although ad
mitting one six times in one day, or six
persons at one time, or similarly, these
tickets will be Withdrawn from sale
Persons should purchase ait once. Near
| ly everyone. after one visit to the
beautifully decorated hall, viii want to
go again and take others. In fact, it
is customary for ladies interested in
cookery to attend every lecture of the
entire course, and it is far more rea-
sOnable than the usual price for term
of cooking lectures or instruction at a
cooking school. Therefore every one
of the 600 or 700 81 season tickets
should be quickly taken.
Tonight being Retail Grocers' and
grocery clerks invitation night, with
special attractions as outlined above,
the many purveyors of foods Will be out
in full force to see the beautiful exhi-
bition so splendidly arranged by the
Retail Grocers' Union. The custom of
setting aside certain days and nights
for special entertainments of organiZa-
ticns or nationalities does not inter
fere with the patronage Of the general
public In fact, it makes it all the
more interesting. Most expositions find
that it pays and also pleases. For the
benefit of all concerned President Jost
announces these special days and
nights as follows:
To-day-Wa ashington's Birthday, pat
riotic celebration, with airs by Neale's s
orchestra, and grocers and grocery
clerks night. Cooking lectures at 2:3O
