sleet and snow, which lasted only
long enough to make the school kid

sunshine, giving the farmers plenty
of time to gather their crops, and the

PANAMA EXPOSITION
WILL CLOSE TONIGHT
A SALUTE OF Fl GUNS AT sUN-UP
THIS MORNING UsHERED IN
LAST DAY.

San Francisco, Dec. To-day was
closing day at the Panama Pacific In
ternational Exposition A salute OF
twenty-one guns at sunrise opened a
carnival of music and dancing which
will last until midnight in celebration
of the success of the fair.
Owing to the European war, which
began six months before the opening
of the exposition on February 20, the
exposition directors were forced to
feel some anxiety as to the success of
their project, but it turned out that
the attendance and the financial re-
turns were considerably greater than
expected. The attendance passed the
seventeen million mark on November
10, with the record for a single day
being 34S,472 visitors on San Francis
co Day, November 2.
The final report on the financial re-
turns may not be prepared for some
time, but the last one, covering the
period from February 20 to October
81, showed net cash income of ST.
4l0,S76 out of a gross income of &c.
04S,129.
The conclusion of the exposition
tonight will be signalized by the sing
ing of Farewell to Thee" from the
Tower of Jewels, the highest struc-
ture on the ground; by the sounding
OF taps by detachment of United
States buglars and the pressing of a
button by c. c. Moore, the president
OF the exposition, to extinguish all
lights; by the lowering of the count
less flags, and salvo of rockets from
the Marina. AS the lights go out for
the last time, Arthur Smith, an avi-
ator, in an illuminated flight will
write Farewell p p. |. E." in letters
against the sky.
