| The attendance at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition during the past two

like period. The weather has been idea
and the grounds and buildings have beer
| thronged with visitors as they have not
been before, although the average at

siderably over 5000 day.
The Pacific coast cities have all been
favored this year with an unusual pour

course, being the A. Y. r. There have
been so many visitors from the east that
the attractions offered by ms part OF

troductory feature was the landing OF
fleet of royal harges, decorated win royal
colors carrying the queen and her court,
her coronation, triumphal procession at the
head of richly decorated floats depicting
the life of various nations.
Miss Di-a-pan, typical child OF the
Filipinos, representing the fair dauGhters
of the tropic land, and the gay. care-free
geisha of Japan enacted their roles in the
pageant, scattering their smiles and now

color, beauty in face and form and
gorgeousness of attire created by the
oriental Imagination was in line. and the
whole affair resembled the Mardi Gras
days at New Orleans.
Another great Ito do, on the Pay
