The bakery, cookery, confectionery

dered old housewife said last night, do
beat ALL" Never, since the first baked
apple tickled the palate of man, has
there been such a display of edibles
done to a turn, and never in the his
tory of San Francisco, it is certain. has
there been on exhibition SO many ways
of cooking just plain bread, for in
stance such wonders of baking ma
chinery, and equally wonderful prod
ucts Of chefs. cooks and bakers who
have made cookery the passion of their
lives.
Everyone who has the eating habit
was eagerly in attendance last night.
Youngsters and adults came with an
ticipation and watering of the mouth
and left with tight belts and express
sions of entire satisfaction. From door
TO rear wall the auditorium is pastry
paradise.
ARMY EXHIBIT INTERESTING
The list of exhibitors is a long one,
but among the mass of machinery,
booths and mountainous piles OF cakes
and cookies there stand out the very
interesting offerings of the army and
navy. The army presents a field
bakery, with the oven, the tent, -four
bin, pots and pans, rolling board, cup
board and men to keep the apparatus
in activity. Eighteen ounce loaves OF
bread. fat and hearty, adorn the coun-
ter before the demonstration tent. Cap

charge of the exhibit, and operating it
are Commissary Sergeant G. H. Pryor,
Sargeant z. Wolbert, Private 3. III. Nor
reIl, private John Enright and Private
C. c. Hurst. A prominent feature of
the exhibit is the oven, one of the old
fashioned Dutch" type. but portable,
in which the loaves of berad are
baked.
The navy is represented by 500
pound model of warship, done in cake
and sugar and the product of six weeks
Of artistic labor. This caine from the

the army's field bakery last night with
his staff.
ARTISTIC WINE EXHIBIT
Perhaps one of the most attractive
booths telling of California's achieve
ments in the matter of food and drink
was that of Cresta Blanca wine. This
product of the grape is framed in a
bower of green and flowers, which
forms one of the most beautiful spots
in the exhibition.
Tomorrow there will be candy pulling
contests and fun of every sort, and
Thursday the proud chefs will bear
forth the results of many days and
nights OF labor and await the prize in
the culinary contest. The bakers apd
cooks exhibits now on display are so
attractive and varied that it is diff
cult to see how such creations as the
scene at the north pole, with Peary
and his dog team, done in cake and
sugar. the chanticler and chariots of
the Fairmont and Palace hotels, can be
excelled.
