An Immcnse Attendance During
tho Lnst Dny Of the
Grcat Show.


after the attendance WAS uniformly largo. Even
during tho first few weeks Of Its existence wlcp
tho gloomy clouds of q financial storm gathered
over tho city, the Exposition soemed to bc gen
oral rendezvous for happy curious, and lntorossed
spectators. Tho interior OF tho building never
looked like panio, and tho ohcorfnl counto-
nances Which hovorol around tho useful aud
pretty articles on exhibition wore in ploaBing
contrast with tho aombro. thoughtful, anxious
tacos on tho stroots and 10 tho storeB. Exour-
alons from tho country brought in many Of these
boaming countenanccs, and no small share Of
acceptable or,rronoy. Cortainly, tue Exposition
uayed Chicago from very large 3, aad general tat
!ently in 81: Louis, ,0lnci1'pntl, New
York, md Philadelphia Us tho yellow fover In
Shreveport and Mcmphis. The Directors Of tho
Exposition, therefore. deserve tho full gratitude
which distracted ihoir attention from the. foro-
bodings Of ilnanciors, the long ,facos Of bank-
Presidents and the porpotua'ly y-increasing dis
trust in monetary circles. Bustling crowds, such
nn are found every day IN thc Exposition, Dc
tho most cheerful editorials in tho West, and tho
study Of character, feature, md whateyer else
offered in TINT building, was surely moro invig-
oratiug at tho time than tho atudy Of dny-book
and ledger.
Official roturns Of tho election Of ,Tuoslay
lave not boon made, nor hHva tho official state-
ments OF daily attendance and receipts been
fully made up. An unofficial atatement, how.
evor shows that tho building has been opened
for forty-two days, not counting Sundays, aud
that, at moderate outimate, tho attendance
was G50,000 Persons, making IN averago daily
attendance Of something lko $4,000, which,
panic and hard times considered, iH something
wo ueed not be ashamed Of.
The most remarkable feature Of tho .whole
term is TINT tho interest was sustained cxccently
until tho very last day of the Exposition proper.
Yesterday afternoon and evening, THO finale Of
tho soason, Tho building WAS crowded, not less
than &c, 600 having squeezed their way in Tho
thentrea suffered uligbtly, but not by any naeana
as eoyorely as might hare beon expected. 1t was
O suitable ending to very successful season.
Monday and Tuesday arc to be given up to char
itablo purposes, mud on Wednesday the grand
from various country excursion parties have been
duly considered, aud tho Directors announce
that they will mako Wednesday evening a feature
to bo remembered. 70 give tho greatest possible
cd virtuoso Wioniawski, and tho famous piano
duet performers, tho Kunkel brothers, have been
secured. OF tho former, tits unnecessary to say
more thnu to remind the audiences Of bis brill
INIT performances at the Rubinstein- WieuiawBkt
pronounced BY Rubinstein % the chief piano
duet performers in the world. Tho band will be
Increased to sixty pieces, while the admission
will remain as before. To mako tho atfais sue.
cess, everybody ought to ondcayor to bo present
md swell the numbers SO as to mako the crowd
the largest OF tho season.
