TO DRAW THE CROWDS.
Midway P1aisance Attractions TO Be Taken
Into the Fair Grounds.

CHICAGO. August f5.-The new policy
of drawing on the heterogeneous popula-
ton OF Midway Plaisance and the ethno-
logical village Of Indians for special at
fractions seems to have taken the popular
fancy. The willingness Of the Midway
concessionaires TO cooperate With the
Exposition managers while prompted by
motives OF self-interest shows that there
is no war between the Exposition powers
and the Midway people on the question Of
Sunday closing
The special attraction managers have
arranged some kind OF programme for
every day this weak. The state process
sion OF His Highness, tlfA Maharajah Of
Kapurthala, and his review of the mill
tary organizations within the Fair
grounds this afternoon. will be the most
novel and gorgeous spectacle yet provided
for the amusement of visitors. The Maha-
ratah also considers that he has been
highly honored by the invitation TO put
himself on show as the central figure in
a spectacle Of oriental pomp.
An international ball and banquet has
been arranged for tomorrow night on
big scale. 1t is to be given I'm the Nata-

be like a grand masquerade ball without
the masks, and Will certainly be the first
event of such CHI pacter ever held.
over 700 foreigners OF both sexes and
all colors In their native dress will be on
the ballroom floor, and the dancing
promises 10 be as unique as the kaleido-
scOpic appearance OF the throng. The d-
rector-generai has been invited to lead the
grand march with an American woman,
but he has the matter under advisement.
A deputatiOn will wait on him to-day TO

The rush" Of visitors 10 the Worlds
Fair for which the officials have been
looking so eagerly appears to have begun
in earnest. The cheap rates and numer-
Gus excursions OF the last few days are
beginning to make a most satisfactory
increase OF the gate receipts. and the
financial depression that has been so seri-
ously felt in Worlds Fair circles seem
now to be thing OF the past. Not since
the Fourth-of-July has there been such
crush at the ticket booths as there was
to-day. 1t began early in the morning
and continued throughout the forenoon,
and there was an unusual number Of new
arrivals among the visitors.
