POURING INTO CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia crisp, invigorating at
mosphere, touch Of frost gently tempered BY
the genial rays Of the sun as 1t looks down from
. cloudless sky, comes as q welcome relief after
the rain and drizzle and mist Of
yesterday and last night, and might
be interpreted as q special recognition from
the elements Of the opening day of the period
set apart for the festivities incident TO the ded
cation Of the structures designed for the
purposes Of the worlds Columbian ex-
position. The change in the weather was
doubly welcome to the thousands of visitors of
greater or less renown already upon the
ground, and who yesterday were commiserat-
ing with one another over the prospect that the
great event in view babe fair to be
marred by the appropriateness of the elements.
DECORATORS ALL BUSY.
Not less grateful. either, are the people of
Chicago themselves Yesterday the work OF
decorating had perforce to be suspended and
the flags and banners and streamers that had
already been hung upon the outer walls COM
menced to betray evidences OF a dropping spirit
drowning rat; but today, under the inspiration
Of the sunshine, the stars and stripes and tri-
colored bunting are again floating proudly, and
an army Of decorators are cheerfully whistling
and humming occasional snatches Of patriotic
melodies as they climb up ladders.
THE HOTELS PULL
Apparently the hotels are already as full as
they need be. There are crowds at the large
ones and small ones alike, and at some of them,
notably at the Auditorium, the Palmer and the
Grand Pacific, 1t is difficult at times to force a
way through the crowds that fill the rotunda,
surging in the wake Of this man and that
of national reputation, and now and then call
ing for a cheer as somebody of particular note
is recognized. In many respects the scenes are
vivid reminders Of those that were enacted here
abouts but few months since when the repre-
bled to select their standard bearer. Big
placards announced the location Of the head
quarters Of the various delegations; the latch
string is In most cases on the outside, and is
momentarily brought into requisition. while
the faces Of many Of the guests bring back
recollections Of the wigwam and Of the excit-
ing scenes that were enacted within its walls.
At the Auditorium. In fact, 1t only lacks. as

marked this morning, the royal Bengal tiger at
the head Of the stairs to make believe that the
days Of July are here again.
LARGER CROWDS EXPECTED.
But large as the crowd already on the ground
Is, it is not circumstance to that which may
be expected by shutdown. Special trains,
packed with men and women OF note and dis
tinction, are speeding Chicagoward from pretty
nearly every state and territory, while the
ordinary trains are running in two, three, and
in some cases four sections. At times this
morning the tide of humanity poured itself out
of the Union and Grand Central stations as if il
never intended to stop.
It was well on toward daylight this morning
when Gov. Tuttle of New Hampshire. with his
staff and party, reached the city, their train
being several hours late. The carriages on
hand were barely sufficient for the accommo-
dation Of the ladies' and SO the governor headed
the procession on foot to the Wellington.

lature, representatives of the judicial
bench, officials Of the various state depart
ments, and the members of the state board OF

Ohioans, and the appearance Of the Little Ma
was p'' the " signal for roar Of
cheers from the crowd that fairly shook
the building. Thirty-fye carriages had been
filed while those not fortunate enough TO Sc

driver were content to fall in behind and tail
the procession to the Victoria Hotel

The buckeye train had barely been gotten
out Of the depot when that having the delega.

Gov. Pattison was one Of the first
to alight from the front end of
the second car, while from the rear end
