 | | Among others to whom the project commended itself was Michael H. de Young, vice-president of the [976] Columbian commission, one of the California commissioners to Paris in 1889, and thus a man of experience in the affairs of international expositions. |
 | | In all respects save one the Midwinter Fair was a success, and that was from a financial point of view, though gate and other receipts were fully as large as had been expected. |
 | | Festivities and celebrations were as numerous at the Midwinter as at the Columbian Exposition, nearly every day of its terms, Sundays of course excepted, being set apart for some state, county, nationality, or organization, or in honor of some historical event. |
