Note: "The California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894, commonly referred to as the "Midwinter Exposition" or the "Midwinter Fair", was a World's Fair that operated from January 27 to July 5[1] in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. In 1892, U.S. President Benjamin Harrison appointed M. H. de Young as a national commissioner to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition which was held in Chicago. The San Francisco fair was the brainchild of Michael H. de Young, then editor and sole proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle. The most enduring legacies are the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum (which has since been rebuilt in a much different design) and the Park's famed Japanese Tea Garden". Source: Wikipedia.
