Fine Program.
Yesterday was a busy time at the
Pavilion, owing to the rush of many
people to complete their exhibits.
Though nearly all the exhibits will be
in order tonight there are few who
have as yet done little or nothing to-
ward furthering their arrangements.
Such people will not be allowed to work
on their exhibits during exhibition
hours
The exercises at the Pavilion tonight
will be opened by brief but timely
address by Governor Gage, who will
arrive from San Francisco this morn
ing.
The great local event tonight will
be the Baby Show. Every detail has
been completed to make this show
something very amusing. Amusement
Director L. w. Buckley arrived yes
terday and at once began arranging
every detail for a prompt series of en-
tertainments. He expressed himself as
pleased with the work already done by
the local committees and by Superin-
tendent Dodge, who has logged up ex-
hibitors and urged them to get their
booths in shape.
Speaking of to-night's show and of
the amusement features in general, Mr..
Buckley said: 1.-THE Baby Show will
be worth seeing, for it will be very fun
ny. We shall arrange the babes in
rows on the stage, the boys on one side,
girls on the other. weighing clerk
will be appointed and the babes will be
weighing for points in avoirdupois. The
entries viii be three years and under.
Little Cecile Taylor of San Jose, who
is two years and two weeks old, will be
here and do some dancing and singing
She is very cute
After the babies are weighed and as
sorted they will be placed on the plat
form so people can see them, and all in
all the show will be we'll worth seeing.
OTHER FEATURES.
The professional program for this
week is very fine. The musical Will
lards, who arrived yesterday, are a
show in themselves. Little Ozark, the

United States. The Flying Banvards,
in their startling trapeze acts, will hold
the breathless attention of the audi
ence, and Miss Wizards cornet solos
are very popular.
