gets the sun three hours too early; that
it isn't yet ripe when it spills over De-
lancey street.
Why the San Franciscan doesn't DO his
principal boasting about Golden Gate Park
I do not know. 1t is the best thing in
town, though John MacLaren, who in forty
years parleyed it from waste Of sand
dunes into the most beautiful and varI-
Gus park in the country, won't admit it
In Golden Gate Park saw the court
that Mclaughlin learned to play on. Iii
lust an ordinary asphalt court. ! am more
than ever convinced that the trouble with
my game is not in the court or the racket
Maybe I ought to 60 into the real
estate business.
Anybody who wants 10 be yodler

The San Francisco papers treat the
Fair in an uninteresting manner. They
print. each of them, from fifteen to twen-
ty-five columns day of Exposition stuff;
practically all Of it wooden, mimeograph
stuff. Propaganda and small vanity seem
to be the cause. There are many Inter
ests" to be placated every day, apparently;
everybody-at least, that is how it looks
to the visitor-has to be pleased except the
reader.
ANYBODY who thinks that a local re-
porter can't write good stuff about fair

There was a dinner dance at the Hotel
St. Francis last night, given by Mr. and
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst in honor
of Vice President Marshall, fox-trotter
plenipotentiary to the Panama-Paclhc In
ternational Exposition. The Examiner
this morning prints a two-page picture Of
the main table; the Chronicle, although
its editor was seated at the main table,
kept the photograph down to seven COL
umns.
Not Petrograd. not Berlin itself, is more

Press Bureau. There are some bits OF
news. a San Francisco reporter tells me
and the Supreme Court says ! don't nave

fever and would not compete in the van

there is a conspiracy to take credit away
from Darcy Ryan, the man who designed
the illumination of the grounds, the FAIRS
most beautiful and successful single
achievement. when Ryan's work was

she never encountered so many obstacles
to getting an interview with anybody as
were set in front of her when she tried 10
get one with Ryan. / mention
these things to show that there are smaH
iealousies keeping the Fair from beng as
great as it ought to be. 1t is great IN

The Fair authorities ought 70 give
