WEEK AT FAIR
SEVERAL GOVERNORS VISIT THE
FAIR-INTERESTING EVENTS
IN NEXT FEW WEEKS

IN NEXT FEW WEEKS
The week ending June 26 will be
memorable by reason Of four COVER
nors having been in San Francisco at
the same time. The first to arrive
was Gov. Ralston of Indiana, the next
was Gov. Hanna of North Dakota, the
next was the chief executive of Iowa.
all Of these distinguished visitors are
to have a conference at the Iowa build
ing on Wednesday June %, when they
will discuss State AFFAIRS.
The doctors Of various schools have
been in session during the past week
and the air is full of issms and ologys,
there were many who could not follow
the sayings of the physicians and their
descriptions of germs, serum and 9TH
er things pertaining to medicine drove
many of the reporters mad but never
theless the medicos were properly re-
ported.
The French exhibit which has just
been installed is attracting much at
tention and it truly is wonderful dis
play and reflects great credit on the
nation, more especially when France
is at war with another power. OF
course one of the leading displays is
for the fair sex and some of the gowns
tricks, dresses or whatever they are
called are truly wonders and as a con-
sequence the palace has been thronged
every hour of the dav bv the ladies
who think not nor talk of France be-
ing at war but of the "creation" that
are on display and many a husband
will have winters cramp in signing
checks if his wife gets one hundradth
part of what she wants after seeing
this exhibit.
William Jennings Bryan, former
secretary of State will be here on
July and will deliver an address in
which he will outline his Peace plans.
Bryan had not intended visiting the
exposition until the fall but his resig-
nation has paved the way to an earlier
visit. It is not certain just how the
audience will receive the former off,
cial. .............
The great Harness meet has ended
and White Sox won the $4,000 2:O6
pace, Hal Boy second and o. u. o.
third, the last named horse was con-
sidered by many as rank outsider
and but for a break of another horse
which sent him up in the air might
have captured first money.
The race was one Of the most stub
bornly contested ever seen in this
state.
It is more probable that the expo
sition will have automobile races dur
ing the next two months after which
horse racing will again hold the at
tention of the public.
The Superior Jury which is checking
up the awards made by the depart
ment and group juries have been hav-
ing a busy session and will not con-
clude their labors for several days yet
owing to the fact that some Of the
contestants are not satisfied with the
decisions rendered by the juries: This
condition however obtains at all ex-
positions and is not a question of
great moment. Among the foreign
countries Cuba has captured many
grand Prizes, Medals of Honor and
Gold Medals and the Commissioner
General from our sister republic, Cen
eral Enrique Loynaz del Castillo is
justly proud of the showing his coun-
try has made and the decisions in re-
gard to Cuba should be most gratify-
ing to this country as we are sponsor
for the Youngest of nations.
Exposition officials have received
word from traffic managers that over
eight hundred special trains have been
contracted for during the month of
July and that the latter months of the
exposition will be even larger.
The newspaper men are to have a
day, July "a and upon this occasion
many new and novel features will be
introduced. This event is separate
from the editorial associations which
are due here in the same month and
also different from the International
Press Congress at which will be rep
resentatives Of the press from all over
the world.
Numerous visitors nave cOmplalned
of the cold here and all those who
visit the exposition during the sum-
mer should not bring their light
weight clothing for Can Francisco is
not warm during the summer months.
This is not climate advertisement
but merely statement SO that those
who intend to come to the fair will
not suffer from insufficient weight Of
clothing.
