Millions Flock to Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco
The opening day crowd at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco broke all attendance records with visitors from around the world. The peaceful day saw no arrests, one lost child found, and no accidents as Secretary Lane and Exposition leaders greeted the crowds on Van Ness Avenue. Aviator Lincoln Beachey was expected to circle the Tower of Jewels as the exposition welcomed thousands drawn by rail rates, sunny California weather, and displays from forty two nations.
