PAN FRANCISCO. CaL. Jan. . (Spe cial.) When the Rosarian party, after . disbanding in San Diego, began to come back through San Francisco in twos and threes, they found the big expo sition city quite as much on its tiptoes with expectation of some Immediate great event as it .bad been on the day of the dedication of the Oregon build ing. All of which might seem rather re markable inasmuch as the event for which the city was making immediate preparations the week before, was the celebration of New Year as It is cele brated in San Francisco and nowhere else. When at this season of the year an event is Imminent which occupies the attention of San Franciscans as com pletely as the New Year eve celebra tions are capable of occupying it. one may feel pretty certain that it is an event that will make a falr-slxed echo up and down the corridors ot time and so it la. We found San Francisco, all her na tive population and all the great ad ditional population that represents other states and countries here at this moment, turning up for the grand overture to the Panama-t'acmc ex position the official opening of the Auditorium at the civic (.enter, souin of the plaxa between Hayes. Grove, Larkln and Center streets, tonight. Andltnrnssa la Bearoa. The auditorium, built by the exposl tlon and to be given to the city, is the link betm-een the city proper and tne great city of palaces In which the ex position makes Its home. Riding out to the exposition grounds one looks upon it as a sort of stately herald sent in to meet him and point the way to the wonders lying beyond, within the ex position walls. It would be "rubbing things in" a bit In Portland, to dwell at length on the auditorium. Its stately architecture, its 5.000 feet ot hardwood floor, its seat ing capacity of 11.000. and Its excel lent facilities for receiving or discharg ing the maximum crowd in from six to even minutes, and then to add that the construction was commenced in 11. Dedication Marks Epoch. The grand ball of dedication at the auditorium was an epoch-marker if one may be forgiven for dragging tnat well-worn expression Into service once more because it heralded to tne woria that the building which is to be the central gathering place of some 300 congresses and conventions during the year, is ready, and it calls attention to the fact that the Fanama-Pacitic Exposition, which is responsible for making this the " gathering place of these congresses and conventions, will also be ready officially in a little more than a month. One's tlrst Impression, approaching the exposition grounds from a distance is that the great exposition is reauy now. Over the housetops, the great palaces of buff with their statuary in place, and the warmth of their coloring heightened by tones of pink and terra cotta. of blue and of green, and domi nated by the great Tower of Jewels with its million - pendant prisms twinkle-twinkling in the sunlight, lie agaiffst the sky like one of the wonder cities such as Maxfleld Parrish would paint in the Arabian Nights. There seems to be no finishing touch to be put on. Then the streetcar turns around two corners and stops in front of the main entrance near the Administration build ing and one discovers that the Ex position Is not entirely ready, but is getting Itself in readiness at a ter riflic rate of speed. The grounds swarm with workmen and vehicles and the halls of the exposition palaces, which seemed so still when one looked upon them over the housetops, are booming like colossal drums with the clamor of workmen and vehicles, the clatter of tools and the snorting of trains bringing in the exhibits to be placed. tamparUoa Shows Majroltade. The proportions of the buildings are deceptive, and one Is scarcely aware of the magnitude of the exposition unless Tie makes a conscious comparison. I realised with a start. Just how huge the palace of machinery really is. when 1 first saw a locomotive come poking out of one of its "side doors" drag ging a string of freight cara In pro nn,tin it was like an Inch worm crawling from under a bushel basket. After that, for several minutes the entire exposition looked so vast that I .n rather like hiding myself behind the big toe of one of the statues over by a fountain. Tk. intallatlon of the exhibits in the completed buildings is advancing with gathering speed, like a runner ...kin. a areat spurt at the finish of while there are only about 40 iavs more in. which to complete the Installation, this means actually twice or three times 40 days, for the nam bTs of workmen are being Increased and the work will be going on both ni-ht and day. War's KB? ret Overeosse. The effectiveness with which the ex position officials met and overcame the difficulties occasioned by the war In K.urope Is a romance In liseii. the outbreak of the war more than S00.000 feet of exhibit space taken by foreign countries was wiped away or became doubtful, and the disturbance of commerce on the ocean made the arrival of exhibits from many coun tries which were not represented in the war and which were still rematntng in the exposition a matter of uncertainty. Captain Asher Carter Baker, director of exhibits, made a personal visit to Kngland. France and Italy, from which he returned only last week, and today aot only are the S00.000 feet of exhibit space restored but several countries have taken additional space In the main l-alaces and are hurrying their exhibits to completion. Ground was broken only Monday for the erection of the exhibit pavilion ot France, which will cost J4S0.300. The decision to proceed with Its erection and the Installation of exhibits was made while Captain Faker as In Prance and. In order that there might be no 'delay, the speclrtoatlons were cabled to the exposition, and. the con tract for construction let. It took IJ000 worth of cablegrams to carry the specification.- saya Cap tain Baker. Old Werld Art ta Be Sees. France has decided upon a most strik ing feature In her exhibits.
