unable to discover one, and they have

quiries, but have been able to get only
some statistics as to the vessels dimen-
sons. None OF the New York shipping
men appear to know ii any model OF the
old steamboat survives the eighty years
since the vessel was used.
The tide OF public opinion is unmis-
takably turning strongly in favor of
keeping the Worlds Fair open on Sun
day, provided "silent" fair be assured.
The exposition authorities have never
had any idea Of keeping the machinery
running on Sunday and everything going
at full boom as on week days, and since
they have so declared themselves, the
demands for Sunday closing have dimin-
ished greatly in number. Not a few who
had petitioned for a closed fair have
changed their minds and revoked their
request, and have asked that the gates
be opened.
