By HAMILTON M. WRIGHT.
FOLLOWING the battleship pa
rade into San Francisco har
bor— tbe ojteiiihg event of the
Panama - Pacific International
exposition in 1915—there will be n pro
gram of events of world interest and
importance in a succession of two
months apart, interspersed with lesser
events: Yacht and motorboat races
of an International character for great
trophies and cash prizes; aviation
meets with (he famous bird men of
the world: Olympic games, in which
:he athletes of the world will take
part; intercollegiate contests: automo
bile races, in which the holders of the
.vorld's records will participate in the
automobiles of every nation; military
maneuvers, in which the crack cavalry
liul iu fan try of this and other nations
vviil participate upon an extended
scale. The location of the exposition
jives widest scope for the greatest in
eruntioual sports program in history,
rhe auto races will pass into Golden
Uate park before the
Joliseum seating 75,000 people. The
military maneuvers and Olympic games
will also be held in the Stadium. On
San Francisco bay motorboats will vie
for the world's records before the Flar
iwr View site of the exposition. Noted
yachtsmen will sail from Europe across
the Atlantic to New York and then
through the Panama canal to Sau
Francisco. Personal invitations will be
extended to the foreign rulers to at
tend the exposition if possible or to be
represented by their diplomatic repre
j sentatives in the royal yachts.
The concession and amusement fea
tures at the exposition will be among
the most striking and original ever dis
j played. The "Midway" will be located
i at the Harbor View site of the expo
sition. the location of the night life of
the exposition, and every possible fea
ture that can be conceived as appro
! priale to an exposition will'be shown,

| of interest in Chinese life from the

commemorative structure towering
1,300 feet above tbe Golden Gate will
be surmounted by a searchlight, and
Its outlines will be limued with incan
descents. In fact, tbe contours of the
exposition site will be visible for
away.
The west will be on exhibition to
those who view the Panama-Pacific In
ternational exposition In 1915. Under
the stimulus of cheap railroad rates
and convenient traffic arrangements
thousands will have an opportunity
that they could have in no other way
to know their own country better
Side excursions to the Yosemite, the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the Yel
lowstone National park, the Redwoods
of the north coast of California, the
big trees of the Sierras on the ap
prouch to the Yosemite, the side trip
to Alaska by the inland channel, will
be parts of the delightful and educa
tive features of a visit to the exposl
tiou.
Routing over any of the eight trans
continental roads that terminate upon
the Pacific coast will enable the trav
eler to come by one route and return
by another. Visits to the slopes of
Puget sound and the great fast grow
lug cities there, the Great Salt lake,
the Santa Clara valley, with its prai
ries of flowers; the orange orchards
stretching from the northern portion
of the state to Los Angeles; Redlands.
Riverside and San Diego and the jour
ney through the Panama canal, either
coming or returning, perhaps most
wonderful of all, will be among the un
usual opportunities of 1915, -to see
much of the world at a moderate ex
.. penditure and under conditions never
before obtained. When the Panama
canal is in operation ships will nego
tlate the journey between Atlantic and
Pacific coast ports in less than thre
weeks' time.
