fit the exposition on behalf of nn)
paniiMiiar section or product, a great
initial nlviiiitii(,e. It is hard to over
ehtiiualo this xitit in judging of the
results to ucerne from n participa
tion in tho work there. Tho average
lisitor was doubtless impreshed most
strongly by somo ono or few features,
varying wiiii Ins interests nnd tem
perament, but the value of any im
pression that ho carried away with
Mm was projKirtiountcly high or low

AJI Well ncn-sod
I believe the assertion enn bo fairly
made that practically all tho visitora
wcru wen pleased with what thuy
cniiio to see; left with n sense of be
ing well treated and given their mon
ey'" worth. This fact is of fiit im.
portnneo. It is duo to many causes
-among which might be mentioned
the open-hcartedness of the people
of San Francisco and California;
their well-known ability to entertain
which comes largely from tin appro
elation of the economio ndvantagc of
imiting the stranger within their
gales and seeing that he i well treat
ed when he comes; the great pains
giwn to the more oMhetie side of tho
I'Ajiobition'w structure (which includes
uie exiiiihito sculpture, architecture,
lighting effects and landscape gar
lciiing), and last, but not least, tho
largo place that strictly entertaining
features placed in tliu exposition ac
tivities. So, firstly, let us clearly nijireci
uto the fticl that tho isitora went
borne with the certainty that for ninny
