The Indians enjoy riding the camels... one of the ostriches paniced and jumped through the fence.. a sword dancer was stabbed on the grounds... lion tamer was bitten on his head... the 10 year old son of Ching Ling Foo died suddenly.

The X-Ray will open tomorrow... largest ever built... made to order for show purposes only.


The Scenic Railroad, one of six in operation, is the largest and most complete gravity-cable system in the country. It dashes through grottos... and gives a fairyland picture when you emerge from the tunnel to see Expo grounds.
