Weekly Oirraunr Letter-No. I.
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

' 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.
