CudRhN Mt the ENpOsitiOn.

The exhibit Of the Cudahy Packing conf
pany on the center aisle near the east end
Of the Manufactures building has sprung up
as If from natures own realms. 1t is
unique in design and of great artistic
beauty, representing. as it does, in a prac-
tical way the product of that great company
in the exact manner in which 1t is put upon
the market of the world, and in the perfect
form in which the consumer receives 1t.
The exhibit is constructed in it's every par
ticle of original packages. Cans of all kinds,
sizes and dimensions, already used and la
beled as used by the company for shipping
purposes and disposition to the trade. When
the exhibit is lighted by electricity, which
is thoroughly we'll done. 1t is one of the
handsomest exhibits in the exposition.

Los Angeles County Exhibit.

The Los Angeles county, California, fruit
exhibit, occupying the entire east end of
the horticultural building, is probably one
of the finest exhibits ever displayed at any
fair or exposition outside of the Worlds
fair. and in fact, equals it's own efforts at
the latter. Mr.. Frank Virgins, represent
ing the Chamber of of Los An
geles. under which auspices the exh.--. is
made, is an expert in his line. He has
adopted new ideas in its construction and
built up on different lines entirely from that
which he had at other expositions. About
the only feature recognizable at other places
is that of the mammouth English walnut
elephant which represents the full life size
Of Jumbo" He has done away with the
stereotyped pyramid and instead has con-
structed arches or facades of fruit running
all through and around the entire exhibit.
1t is certainly a handsome and very credi-
table representation Of California and es-
pecially southern CALIFORNIA; products. Mr..
Virgins has displayed great taste as we'll
as credit to his board and state for the man
ner in which he has built it up. This is
the first exhibit to be completed in the Hor-
ticultural building and it is now and will
remain the handsomest of it's kind at this
exposition.

Great Government Building Receives
Many Early Exposition Visitors.
The Government building was thrown open
to the public at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and a large number of people passed through
the building during the succeeding two
hours, inspecting the multitude of exhibits
which had been prepared to illustrate the
functions OF the government in time of peace
and its resources as a war power.
The scores of cases and huge boxes which
encountered the aisles during the course OF
the preparations had all been consigned ia
the spacious storeroom beneath the floor and
all the exhibits were arranged in order.
The preparations were complete and a most
interesting and comprehensive exhibit was
presented for the examination of those who
had the entree.
The members of the board of management
acted as hosts and numerous assistants were
full of regarding the various
exhibits. The displays Of the War and Agri-
cultural departments at the south end WED
with the Navy department and the fish COM
mission at the north end, while the magnif-
cent exhibit of the Smithsonian Institution
and National museum and that of the Treas
ury department waged a contest in the
minds of the visitors with a desire to spend
several hours over the showing of the many
bureaus of the Interior department, while
the Postoffice department appealed strongly
to the sympathies of the people.
The completeness of the exhibit in each
department was the cause of many very
complimentary remarks and it was conceded
that the Government building will be one
of the most attractive of the many interest
ing features of the exposition.

Denfzens of the Pleasure Resorts Pu
I'm n Renl Wnrm Time.

Denizens of the Pleasure Resorts Put
Up n Real Warm Time.
There was a hot time on the Midway last
night and no person who was there will
deny the statement. Things commenced TO
warm up during the early evening and kept
right on until midnight, when the fun be-
came fast and furious. The first people on
the ground were those from down town.
They strolled around for a couple OF hours
and then the delegation from the den OF
the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben put in an ap-
%pearance. In this delegation, aside from
the regular knights, numbering something
like 300. there were close onto 1000 mem
bers of the Travellers Protective associa-
ton. all of whom were invited guests upon
this particular occasion. Many of them were
warm boys and their presence had much
to do with the temperature that prevailed
on the Midway.
The procession from the den of the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben was made up of
the resident members Of the order, the
travelling men who had just crossed over
the burning sands, a caravan from the for
eign section of the Midway and a few cages
of trained animals from Hagenback's.
While there were others, the star features
on the Midway were the Streets of Cairo
and the Streets of All Nations. In the for
mer. Manager O'Brien and his assistant,
lcilio Ninci, gave those who were present
a touch of high life in Egypt. There were
muscle dances and dances that have not
been seen in this city before. The male
members OF the party enjoyed the p%erfor-
mances hugely and wanted more. After this
there were the dances that are peculiar to
other African cities, all of which was fol
lowed by a theatrical performance that was
something new in this section, but there is
a promise that it will be seen many times
during the coming summer.
In the Streets of All Nations, Manager
Akoun treated the guests Of the evening ia
a full dress rehearsal, consisting of camel
riding, sword dances and a contest between
Assyrian gladiators. Following this, a
young girl from some island in the Pacific
ocean stood with her back against a board
and allowed n swarthy islander to hurl dirk
knives in the direction Of her head. Being
an expert in this line, he planted them all
around her, to the great delight Of the
audience. Then there was the Soudan
wrestling match, a combination OF the grape

ae ShONyn.
A party of nine newspaper correspondents
representing ST. Louis and st. Joseph
papers, arrived in the city at noon yesterday
on the new fast train OF the Burlington
road. The members Of the party were the
guests of the road and were chaperoned
by l.. w. Wakeley, general passenger and
ticket agent, assisted by Elliott Marshall,
division passenger agent, and F. R. Nc
vittie. city passenger agent of the road at
st. Joseph.
The party was met at the depot by r.
w. Richardson. representing the Department
of Publicity and Promotion Of the exposi-
ton. and escorted to the Willard hotel. The
visitors have come to attend the opening
of the exposition in the interest of their
papers and will main until Thursday
morning. The following is the personnel

vine, the catch as catch -can and The hip
lock. This was something new in the
wrestling line and was loudly applauded.
Being the night prior to the opening Of
the big show, about everything on the Mid
way was on dress parade and everything in
the theatrical line was putting on the last
dress rehearsal, and as all of these affairs
were free each and every building was
filled to OVERLOOKING. In the Illusion pal
ace a few and a few only were permitted to
gaze upon the girls in their illusion dance,
and fewer yet were allowed to see Hag-
CARDS She and her transformation from a
mummy into a beautiful maiden and the
transformation back into a mummy
In the Moorish palace a private party was
given to the newspaper men and some of
the visiting travelling men. These were
permitted to gaze upon the features of kings
and queens who have been dead and buried
many centuries.
In the Devils Den his satanic majesty
had a high old time with three maidens
whom he caught wandering about the edges
of his realm and finally contented himself
with throwing them into a lake of fire and
then prodding them with a red hot pitch
fork.
Tom Hooters dogs caught the spirit Of
the occasion and aroused about everything
in the neighborhood. but their bowls and
the roar of the lions in Hagenback's were
drowned by the revelry that prevailed at
Pabst's, most of which was brought on by
the dancing girls, who occupied the stage
during a greater portion of the evening.
The Old Plantation and the Chinese vii
lage, together with some of the other at
fractions. were closed to the public, the
managers explaining that their artists were
not yet and that it would not
do to risk their tender plants out at night
in this salubrious atmosphere. The res
taurants did a rushing business and Count
van Bever made enough to pay him a good
profit on his investment If he does not
serve another meal during the exposition.
Taking everything into consideration 1t
was a great night on the Midway, yet it is
said that it was nothing to what some of
the nights will be after all of the attrac-
tions are in full operation.

ON BOARD THE TRITON, off Santiago,
May 31.-(New York World Cablegram-
Special Telegram. 1.-THE first engagement
between Schley and the Spanish fleet oc-
Cured last night about midnight. Two
torpedo boats slipped out of the harbor bent
on mischief. They crept along the shadow
Of old Castle MORO and the mountain for
two miles to the westward before they were
discovered by the lookout on the Texas. The
men slept at their guns and SO the latter
were quickly manned and the alarm was
given an instant later, while a stream from
the Texas searchlight flashed along in the
shadow, revealing the Spaniards. The tor
pedo boats darted toward the Texas and
Brooklyn, which were lying close together
near shore. The Texas opened fire
from its port forward batteries
and the crack of its six-pound-
ers and armor- piercing shells startled
the fleet. The Brooklyn came into action,
firing several times, but the bulk OF the
shooting was done by the Texas. The entire
feet went to general quarters and search
lights played around the narrow entrance
of the harbor In expectation that Ceryera's
whole feet would emerge and fight II out.
The torpedo boats made a plucky dash
through the rain of shells, but foiled In the
attempt at a surprise and turned and ran
back.

Exposition Chorus Tries Its Must,

The Exposition chorus held its first re-
hearsal in the Auditorium on tn exposition
grounds last night. There was a delay of
over an hour caused by a misunderstanding
on the part of somebody as to the turning
on of the lights. and the chorus sat in the
growing darkness while messengers were
sent chasing in every direction TO gather
up the missing link in the chain Of red
tape. The long wait detracted from the
effect of the rehearsal, and the chorus did
not make as good a showing as on previ-
GUS occasion. The Song OF Welcome" was
taken up first and disposed of in good form
and attention was turned to the Star
spangled Banner" and Fair Ellen"
