Nothing was lacking to make the offic
ial opening of the California Midwinter
International Exposition a success in
every sense of the word. In the first
place, the sun came np gloriously, In a
sky as clear a a bell, and all day long it
shone down npon happy Sari Francisco.
Happy was she in the thought that it
was her lot to be cradled in the lap of a
land where such weather U a midwinter
possibility, and proud wa she that she
had to place before the thousands of
people who visited her fair on that day
a program of such incontrovertabl ex
cellence and of such unimpeachable at
tractiveness. The opening exercise took place on
a grand stand especially erected for this
occasion, with a seating capacity of 7,000.
The seats were all taken and tens of
thousands of visitors gathered on the
greensward in front of the peaker'
platform. The total number of people
who passed through the turnstile was
72,248. Nearly ten thousand of these
were in the procession which inarched
in triumph to the exposition grounds.
There were more bands' in this street
pageant than were ever before seen in
Bun Francisco. Halt dozen of these
musical organizations, occupying a place
on the grand stand, joined in unison in
the patriotic feature oi the musical
program.
When the opening overtures naa peen
played, James D. Phelan, the president
of the day, made his address, introduc
ing at its close the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Nichols, who offered up the invocation.
The assemblage stood with uncovered
heads in the warm midwinter sun, with
the green hills towering above them, and
not a hanh element in the air blew
across their brows. People from the
East took off their top coats, on this 27th
of January, and made of them cushions
for their seats. A the bishop called
upon the Almighty to make glad the
heart of everyone present in this land of
sunshine, fruit and flowers, each visitor
from the snowbound districts undoubt
edly said "Amen."
The scene was one that no stranger
could fail to be impressed with, and so
it was also when the governor of Cali
fornia, Hon. H. H. Markham, came to
extol the managers of the exposition for
the wonderful thing they had accom
plished within the five short months
which had passed since the original con
ception of the idea. On every Jiand
were material evidence or the beauty
and power of this great Empire State of
the Pacific, and when Director General
M. H. de Young, to whose fertile brain
and untiring energy California owes this
exposition when he arose to deliver his
address a mighty shout" went up and
honor was there accorded to whom
was due. Mr. de Young bore his honors
modestly. Best of all, his speech was
short, and when Mrs. de Young was
asked to press the button which shorilrl
set the machinery in motion, sue oia so
gracefully, and this was all there was to
the formal ceremonies of the opening
the great Midwinter Fair.
The act of starting the machinery waa
signalized by the shriek of every whistle
In the exposition grounds, by the blare
and fanfare of artillery within full sight
of the assembled multitudes. On the
same spot, when evening fell, there was
a grand display of fireworks, but in the
interim the recreation ground waa de
serted, for everybody made a grand
rush as soon a the opening exercises
were over to visit the maia buildings of
the exposition and to patronize the con
cessional features. It mattered not that
some of the exhibit were incomplete as
yet, for there was enough to keep all
yes and all thought busy during what
was left of that short afternoon, and
everything, finished or unfinished, waa
novel and unique to everobody.
It wa in the concessions, however,
that the holiday spirit of the crowd was
made more prominently manifest. The
'49 Mining camp immediately established
itself as one of the most popular institu
tions in the exposition. Seven thousand
people paid their way into this conces
sion on opening day. The Firth wheel
carried nearly six thousand, the Scenio
railway was loaded down all day and
far into the night: the Wild Animal
Arena, the Ostrich Farm, the Indian
Encampments, the Hawaiian Village,
the Vienna Prater, Heidelberg Castle,
the Aquarium, the Sea Lions, the Colo
rado Gold Mine, and the scores of other
concessions did a big business, and
everybody seemed satisfied with the pat
ronage they received.
All this established beyond a doubt
the popularity of the Midwinter Exposi
tion. Since the opening day there has
been an average daily attendance of
6,000 people, or as many as paid admis
sion so the great World's -Columbian
Exposition during the first few days
after the official opening. Visitors are)
loud in their praise of what they have
seen and are freely predicting that the
exposition will be an immense success.
The exposition 'management begin to
feel as if they could take time for - a
good night's rest now and again, for
their undertaking has now been iairly
launched, and they are willing to trust
its drawing powers to prove sufficient for
Its satisfactory continuano for tne en
antire term of six month.
The great glory of a California winter
Is just now at its height. People riding
tn the open street oars read of the blis
sards and snow blockades that haras
their eastern friends, and once more the
word of welcome passes along every lias
of eastern railroad: "Come to California,
see the great Midwinter Fair, and get
warm." '.
Pittsburg is very happy over the ar
