1991111 and a procession of citiaens, with
e mayor at their head, will march on
{o the grounds.
' At the same_time, President Charles
C. Moore, of the Exposition company,
will inform President Wilson, by word
of mouth, over a telephone line already
let up and waiting, that the wireless
lash has been received and the Expo-
sition is open. in return, President
Wilson will send his greetings and
good wishes. Thus, the two latest
modes of long distance communication
will be employed to vivify the fair.1
Ceremonies of dedication and accept-
lance as brief as it is possible to make:
them, will follow.
After the outbreak of the European
war, there sprang up a rumor that the
hpositiou would not open. As smut--
ter of fact, the Exposition stands to-
day 100 per cent. c.11plete, free of

‘ofliclally epresented, as are 41 states
and ter tones unde1 the flag of the
United States (‘anada and Australas-'
is, under the liritish flag, both have
buildings.
Structurally speaking, that part of
the Exposition built out ofits own
funds and wholly under the control of
{its own directors, was finished six
months ago.
The grounds lie on the water front,
adjoining the United States military
resertatiou, known as the Presidio, fac-
ing San Francisco Bay with, the Gob
den Gate visible to the west.
The broad stretches of. mural
pause are grained and stained to the
texture and color of Italian travertins
Where the statuary has not been
wrought from the same material, it has
been finished a soft buff, or burnt br-
ange.
Thus, the Exposition, as a whole.
has the soft tone of a panaol, done in
the impressionistic manner. Other
world's fairs have been uniformly
white, which, in the strong light of the'
California climate,
painfully dazzling.
Dominating the whole scheme is the

are taller than those of Saint Peter's.

by the figure of a star, whose head-
dress is covered with “Jewels,”
from the tower itself depend 80,000
sparklets in all colors, which flash in
the sun and scintillate at night when
the searchlights illuminate the court.
The site and plan of the Exposition
have made it the most compact ever
built. lt occupies 035 acres, of which
50 have been devoted to horticultural
display. Liberal use of palms, shrub-
bery, vines and trees has been made to
relieve and diversify the long facades
of the exhibit palaces.
of the grounds are the athletic field
and race track; at the near end lies
the zone, in which are grouped the
amusement concessions.
1‘ Conceived to celebrate the opening
of the Panama Canal, the idea of the
Exposition had its inception in 1904.
The great fire of 1906, in which San
Francisco practically was destroyed,
only delayed plans for its embodiment.
The authorization of the State' Legis-
, “ lature, together with an appropriation
of’ $5,000,000, was obtained and,
in
April, 1910. $4,089,000 was raised by
in two hours.
President Taft signed the Exposition
act, October 4.1911
In work done by the Exposition com-
pany, the nations' states and territor-
ies participating and the concession-
aires admitted, an investment of $80,-
‘100‘0000 is represented. Exhibits on
display probably will bring the totalof
capital tmporarily tied up within'the
grounds, to $300,000,000 or more.
Only one Exposition building is per-
manent. The city and the Exposition
jointly built as part of the city's new
civic center, still in process of con-
struction. a $2,000,000 auditorium, in
which are to be held the 400 congress-
on and conventions which will give the
Exposition such unimportant educa-
,tional‘aspect. After the Exposition
closespthe auditorium will pass into
,_ the keeping of the city.
In the field of sports, the nation will
'be represented as widely as in any
other of its interests.

Once when a very good company of
actors produced “Othello" in Virginia,
Governor Dinwiddie had as his guests
royal Indians who presumably enjoy-

History tells us that George Wash

and proved himself generous in tak»
ing his wife and their guests as often
as possible. if nothing better offered
itself, be was pleased with puppet
shows.
One of the most popular plays of
the times was “A Miss in Her Teens."
After Miss Hewins told of the stage,
two scenes were most successfully
given from the plaY.
Mrs. Robert Waugh made a most
bewitching coquette and a charming
picture in her colonial costume. Miss

mistress very successfully, and was a
great aid in preventing one lover from

Tribe was splendidly acted by Jack

members were in Colonial costumes.
