 The Book of the Fair : Chapter the Twenty-Eighth: The California Midwinter International Exposition (Text)
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.

 Cricinfo - Midwinter's midsummer madness
Midwinter was eligible for both sides as he was born in Gloucestershire in 1851, before emigrating to Australia where he played for Victoria.
Midwinter's midsummer dilemma should have been easily resolved: he was on good terms with Gloucestershire's captain, WG Grace, and had already agreed to play for them when required.
The Australian No. 3, Tom Horan, wrote that Midwinter was "determined to return with them to the colonies, where he had been promised a benefit match in both Melbourne and Sydney." Midwinter was padded up and ready to stride into bat with Alec Bannerman when the plot took another twist.

 On "Midwinter Fair" by Peter Howard
More appropriately, "Midwinter Fair" is a sequence of poems that are interrelated in various ways; to move through the sequence, the reader chooses one of the hyperlinked words in a given poem, which then sends the reader to another poem*.
"Midwinter Fair" has, at its core, one central poem that narrates the details of a strange "year-long / midwinter rosy-cheeked / Santa Claus feast." This is the poem that begins the "Midwinter Fair" sequence and has, by far, the most hyperlinked choices.
If the goal of the inhabitants of the poem’s London is to create a celebration that embraces a diverse nostalgia, rooted in the culture of a "lost" England, without abandoning their sense of the present, then the author’s use of archaic forms combined with a self-aware notion of hypertext is an appropriate choice of form.
