The semttfirial openinj, of the Cali fornia Midwinter International Exposi tion took pUot on the 1st at January, according to the original announcement Owing to th delay caused in ahipping foreign exhibits from Chicago, It was tndentood, of count, that everything Would not be in readiness on that date, tut the buildings wore completed, a reat many of the concessional features Were in full operation, and the Exposi tion was practically started on tha road to success. The day could sot hare been more beautiful if it had been nude to order. Eastern people visiting California for the first time went into testacies oTtr a New years Day so much like the grand est April day la other parts of the world. There were flowers blooming on every hand, and the deep green foliage formed striking background for the gala day tostumes of the thousands of ladies who thronged Golden Gate Park until the sun went down. Early on this beautiful midwinter morning flags were hoisted on each and every flagstaff on the build ings and in and about the Exposition Tunnds; there were concerts during the day by the great Midwinter Fair band, and thousands of people availed them selves of the opportunity to view the buildings and to witness the special at tractions which were offered. Among the concessions which opened p on New Tear's Day were the Santa Barbara sea lion exhibit, Boone's wild animal arena, the Ostrich farm, Heidel berg oastle, the Vienna Prater, the Col orado gold mine, the Japanese Garden, the Scenic Railway, and a great many others. The Ranta Barbara sea lions will evidently frow to be one of the great drawing cards of the Exposition. This tt one of the entirely new features -one'St was not seen at Chicago. Those wHo witnessed the performance in the wild animal arena, and who had ajseo the umiliar performance on the Midway Plaiaance in Chicago, say that Boone's show rivals Hagenbeck's in every particular, and surpasses it in many. The scenic railway did a remarkable business; the crowds in fact being greater than could be easily accommodated. The Ostrich farm was also well patron ized, while Heidelberg and Vienna were fall of visitors all day long. - These con cessionaires, as well as others not speci fied in this connection, are very well sat isfied with their start, and feel confident that when the Exposition gets in run ning order, their dearest hopes in the tin of money making will be realized. Notwithstanding the fact that there were no special attractions of a general nature provided for this semi-oflicuU ' opening day, there were about 10,000 people who paid for admission to the grounds. The price of admission is only IS eents as yet, the 90 cent rate will not be established until the official ceremon ial opening. The date when the open ing oeremonies will take place has not yet been definitely fixed. It will prob ably be about the 15th or 20th of this month. It will depend largely upon the rapidity with which exhibits arrive and are installed. All the buildings are ready, and a great many exhibits are : now being arranged, but it will be fully the middle of the month before every thing will be in readiness. When the grand day of ceremonial opening comes, there will be an elaborate program of exercises, in which all the state, municipal and federal officials of of the Pacifie Coast will participate. The merchants and residents of ban Francisco are making extensive prepara tions to decorate their stores aad resi dences and the Exposition will have the grandest "send off "ever accorded to any enterprise in this part of the world. There have been received by the chief of the Department of Publicity and Pro motion a great many queries in regard to editorial eourteties which are to he extended during the Exposition. Some of the querists seem to fancy that the Exposition will, in some way, arrange for railway transportation for visiting editors. This, however, is not the case. The ExposiHonmanagementhasnothing to do with transportation, but every ed itorial visitor to Ban Francisco, upon presentation of credentials to the Depart ment of Publicity and Promotion, will be provided with a pass to the Brosi ti m during the term of his stay In Ban Francisco. Visiting editors star rest assured, therefor, that they tWI be taken care of in this regard, and that aay other courtesy which it Ja y "lble tblt Exposi on management u, t aavantage or lor the making of a siieoial ' effnrt in the. war nf a oanerjil antfrfaLln- ment in which the Hawaiian concession aire will play the part of Jsostn. A part of the program will consist of a parade by the entire foreign contingent, headed by the Hawaiian national band of forty pieces, which was formally the Royal band of Honolulu. Among other fea tures of the day will be a horse race .with female riders, sitting astride, as is the native custom. There will also be native field sports, including fencing, spear throwiug and hoola dancing. On Waikiki lagoon, within the Hawaiian village enclosure, there will be aconi- ?rehensive exhibition of aquatic sports, 'he event of the day, however, will be a loan, or native feast, to which the offic ials of the fair, the municipal officers, the press, and others will be invited. Goesta will sit on mats and eat from a table a foot and a half from the ground. Boast pig and baked dog, cooked in ti leaves, broiled devil fish, and a largo number of other Indian fish also cooked in leaves, native fruits and, of coarse, "pod with every course, will be tome of the items of the menu. It will require about a week of prepartionto properly get up a luau, and cooks and provisions an to be specially imported from thi Hawaiian Islands for this event. A Mighty Impulse.
