A great array Of youngsters with a
bewildering variety of parcels found
their way yesterday to Mechanics Pa
v1lion. In the bundles were animal pets
OF every sort and description for the
chiidren's section of the sportsman's
show to be inaugurated tomorrow by
the Forest, Fish and Game Association.
The idea of giving the little ones an op-
portunity to become factor in the
success of the enterprise was a conceit
OF DR.. +. w. dEvelyn's and he has
aroused an interest that could not have
been incited in any other manner. The
pets to be displayed are of all kinds
and descriptions. There are pet white
rats, hens, squirrels, canaries, turtles,
rabbits. linnets, guinea pigs, goldfish,
chipmunks and host Of other unlikely
candidates for the affection of a child.
Many of the exhibits are in home
made cages and the entire section is
interesting because it shows the love
Of children for living things. Each of
the exhibitors has been given season
ticket and the particular corner of the
gallery devoted to this part of the great
exposition will never lack spectators.
While the opening of the show will
come tomorrow night when the COM
plimentary reception is given. the real
ushering in of the two weeks season
will be on Saturday morning. From 10
in the morning until l o'clock in the
afternoon children will be admitted for
10 cents on Saturdays only. The For
esters' Juvenile Band has volunteered
to furnish a concert during these hours
and special attention will be given the
tots, that they may have a good time
and also imbibe some instruction from
the exhibition.
Invitations for the opening Friday
night, when James D. Phelan, vice
president of the association, will de-
liver the dedicatory speech and a prom
enade concert will be given by the big
band, have been eagerly sought and the
tickets are exhausted. NO admissions
will be sold on this occasion, 1t being
the idea to give shareholders, associate
members and other notables a private
view before the doors OF the wonderful
show are thrown open to the public.
