This was kilrain town not that Sullivan

to hear ola victory for kilran. Some of his
admirers are disposed to be Disguised, while
others yet believe in him. For our part we
expected TO hear of a fight las is n fight" but
| we find that Kilrain too belongs to that very
/ large majority who are afraid of Sullivan. lie
had but one hope, evidently, and that was
to worry him ont, out wind him. run him tir.

but none the less ii is nat fighting and Sulll-

IMPROVING THE SHOW
Seven New Buildings to be Put Up

MR.. JOHNSTON GOING TO PARIS.

EXTRA PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE

Some big improvements are to be made in
the Exposition buildings for nextyear The
galleries are too narrow, and it has been de-
cided to widen them nine feet. The band
stand is in the wrong place, and will be put
in the center OF the main hall.
Manager Johnston will sail for the Paris
exhibition next Saturday, and be says he
will select such specialties only that will
improve the Pittsburg show. The leases of
the stables, etc., between the buildings and
the Point will expire this year, and the
society proposes TO erect about seven build
ings, to cost $50, 900, on this ground, each to
be devoted to particular industry.
The attendance yesterday, in fact,
eclipsed that of any previous occasion by
many hundreds, and it was peoples day."
in the fullest sense of the word. The peo-
pie were hidden, and they accepted the in
vitation almost en- masse. In anticipation
OF the popular outpouring, many of the ex-
hlbltors had renewed their exhibits, and
the show was, in many of its features, an
entirely new one. The management, too,
had taken extra precautions to guard
against fire, accident or blockades, and
extra police officers and fremen were on
duty who compelled visitors to move on"
whenever they showed disposition to stop
in the aisles TO talk.
Bandmaster Innes and his splendidly
trained men contributed in no small meas
ure to the entertainment of the crowd, and
these concerts, consisting of popular music,
were much enjoyed.
This week will be the last week of the Expo
sition, which will close next Saturday night
