The first baby to be entered yes
terday as the result of the announce
ment that there was a prospect of an
other baby show. in the Record IN
ion," was frankie Benjamin, of $751;
K street This will be his first ap-
pearance, as he was not able to get
into the first show. The second entry
was one of the handsomest of the first
show, Milton Herrera. who is an eleven
MONTHS old baby of Spanish descent,
and with laughing blue eyes and dark,
curly hair. Another pretty baby that
win contest for honors that day is
SolOme Eleanor De Witt, six months
old. Roland Westfall is a beautiful
child who counts his age at ten months,
and il looks and health count should
be prize winner. There are more
pretty babies in Sacramento than in
any city on the coast, but it took this
baby show to bring them to the fore.
| Wen have to have a State baby show,
and this city Will come out ahead.
Not everyone is fully posted as to the
workings of the animatoscope or pro-
| jectinS picture machine now being sue
cessfully operated at the Food Exposi-
| tiop. 1t is made with the finest of
| lens and a powerful arc lamp placed
! back of the rapidly revolving films
| These latter are only about one inch
| by one and half inches and the pic
| lures are so tiny that one can scarcely
make out the figures. To color these
pictures each picture is placed under a
| magnifying glass and the artist uses
pencil brushes with very fine points.
| The colors used must be transparent
| and the Japanese are most skilled in
| this work. 1t is said that it costs close
| to 500 to color one set of pictures
| These sets of films are costly and
/ as, in spite of great care, one is torn
| or destroyed each night, it stands TO
| reason that to furnish o machine with
! pictures as q feature of entertainment
is costly operation. Manager Buckley
was determined to have the best pro-
| durable and thinks that the public ap-
! preciate his efforts, judging from the
applause and increased attendance
Many visitors to the Food Exposition
state that they came solely to see the
animatoscope. This will be its last
as it was its first appearance in Sac
ramento.
| Professor Badger, who operates the
animatoscope, is delighted at being
able to show both the Widow Jones
! X tha I
| den scene, all pictures that made a big
! hit at Roster & Biars, Keith's Theaters
in New York City and the Orpheum in
San Francisco, before he takes his de-
parture from the city. They went on
last night for the first time and made
gigantic hit.
MeSsrS. Buckley and Pease have re-
! eefVed many offers to- purchase the
new Home Trainer Bicycle Racing Ma
chine and one party came up from San
Francisco yesterday tc inspect it with a
view to putting it on a. the Orpheum
there, but they decline to sell. They
will take it TO Los Angeles.
! The Grocers' Union will be deservedIy
| proud of the success in this first at
tempt at holding a Food Exposition
| here. While they owe the idea to I.
! W. Buckley. yet each member Of the
Executive Committee, and In fact most
| members of the hrion worked all the
| time to interest not only exhibitors and
| the statesmen but the housekeeper. They
disposed of many tickets and from first
to last assisted all in their power in
making 1t a go" It was a fair starter
and another year they can, if they SO
desire, hold one that will be twice as
large and prosperous. The worthy
| President, Jost. ard Secretary Harry
Blair, are also pleased at results.
| q. Z. Dodge believes in booming the
city and letting outsiders know it's at
fractions at every opportunity For
this purpose he invited all the exhibit
o1's and employees to partake in trolly
ride yesterday morning, in order Ito see
| Sacramento as it is. The party took
a run to East Park, Sutter Fort and
Oak Park. and over the different car
/ lines. The exhibitors from San Fran
cisco and other places were delighted
with the trip and expressed their in
terest and admiration freely, having
| had no idea previously of the size of
the city or the points Of interest in it,
They Were specially interested in SUIT

Mr.. Dodge for his kindness. Such ex-
cursions give strangers a better idea
