THE MIDWINTER EXPOSITION.
California MibwiNTia istbiwa- i

IWMklr Circular Lett-No. U.
Ban Francisco, Jan. 2, 1894.
On the eve of the day for the official
ceremonial opening of the Midwinter
Exposition, that grand Industrial dis
play cornea nearer to being ready for the
inspection of the publio than has been
any international exposition the world
has ever seen. The buildings of the ex
position itself are all finished. The
sound of the hammer which may still
be heard during the first days after the
official opening will be heard in connec
tion with the installation of exhibits
only; and the reason for this conceded
delay in the installation of some of the
exhibits lies in the fact that Chicago is
so far away, that it was so hard to get
cars in time for the speedy transporta
tion of foreign exhibits, and in the fur
ther fact that California is the only part
of this great western world where snow
does not impede progress by rail. A
hundred cars containing foreign exhibit
intended for the Midwinter Exposition
were sadly delayed en route across the
continent, and these are they that have I
not vet been set up in all their glory,
though only a few days more will elapse
before the perfection of the grand pic-.'
a mi a X i l.a
ture of industry and progress in which
they are to play so important a part.
The winter rains, which have in many
Instances dampened the ardor of exposi
tion enthusiasts, have been working
wonders in "everybody's garden" in
Golden Gate park. ; Toilers in wintry
woods in eastern sections of this great
land, and workers amid the snows of
bleak regions far away from California
would almost give their eyes, no doubt,
to catch one glimpse of the green lawns
and springing flowers in the midst of
which this great exposition has been'
erected. Many Easterners are already
here, and are reveling in scenes that are
new to them and joining in the univer
sal wonderment that a great city has
sprung up in these few months, here by(
the sid a of the Golden Gate, almost as
rapidly as vegetation develops in this
glorious climate. ' .
No name has thus far been given to
this city of rapid development; no
name, at least, that has as yet been uni
versally adopted. The "City of Palms
was one of the names suggested in the
earlier days of the exposition, when
there was a possibility of palms predom
inating in the decoration of the exposi
tion grounds. But the progress of the
landscape work developed the fact that
there was such a variety of tree life, and
such varied foliage in the foreground
and in the further reaches of the picture
that no one tree could be selected as typ
ical, and the result hat been that those
who care enough about it have been cast
ing about for another name. One name
that has found particular favor has been
Sunset City. " The location of Saa
Francisco at the sunset end of this great
continent, and the location of the Mid
winter Exposition in the western part of
the beautiful park that stretches beyond
the city away but to the Golden Gate,
and where the sun sinks below the hori-
ron that seems to be an endless distance

suggestion of this name, and to many it
has seemed the most appropriate or au.
But the name by which this city 14
architectural palaces shall be known
will be chosen by acclamation during
the next fortnight. More than 60,00$
people have thug far paid admission to
the grounds, - watching the progress of
the work ot preparation, now, now-

position shall be handed down to history
with some name that identifies it be

is conceded on every hand that the Mid

name that popular expression may give
it, but that, by any name, it would.
just as sweet and beautiful in the eyes
of all beholders . ;; r
To those who are not to have the pleas
ure of viewing this exposition, or te
those who want to know what It looks
like before they come to San Francisco
there has been presented, through the
medium of the official birdseye new,
the most accurate panorama ever placed
before the public in connection with aa
enterprise of this kind. This official
birdseye view will have been posted at
every railway station In the United
States and in many other places before
this letter is in print. It is a production
in lithography, from a painting by Char
lee Graham, the celebrated artist who
made the famous picture of the World's
Columbian Exposition, but made it from
the plans and ideas of the projectors.
In this instance, however, Mr. Graham
made his sketches on the spot, after
nearly all the buildings were in process
of erection, and when every location had
been nositively settled. There is, there
fore, spread out an accurate pioture of
the Midwinter rair. m uio waia
buildings are grouped around a Grand
Central court, 1000 feet in length, in the
midst of 200 acres of the Golden Gate
park.' -From the center of the Grand
Court rises the electric tower, 878 feet
in heieht. and within range of vision of
one located on the top of this tower, lie
76 different concessional structures, lev
era! of which really include half a desen
buildings each, so that there ar at lust
100 buildings, all told, in this "Sunset
City," . , .
There are a dozen other points of ti
tage on the tops of different buildings,
from which the Golden Gate ia in view,
and all these lofty eyries hare beam
crowded during the last week with the
daily visitors to the grounds, to whom a
birdseye view seems most Qesira l.
"With tomorrow's street pageant and the
consequent starting of the machinery all
along the line of the exposition and its
concessions, the exposition really gsta
down to business. From now on its
special features will demand more at
tention in detail and these letters will
contain all that can be told about the
exposition. To be appreciated, the ex
position must be
