Committee OF the directors is urging upon inc OK

corlinc force Of the Fair must I've maintained The TOTAL
attendance for June Is great Improvement over inc
total for May which was 1.O50.037, difference OF
nearly $50 coo in favor Of the month Just closed
The admission OF children, however, which represents
r, h,rt H.. money II did In May. must be taken into
,ccount The present daily running expenses are, III
round numbers go 900. Even as 1t stands the re-
ccipts from the many concessions almost pay the run

coipts Of the Exposition from admissions can De ap

COMPANY What these debts amount TO Is not KNOWN
10 The public as no detailed statement of accounts pay
able has been given out. Counting Sundays, there are
1913 DAYS Of the Worlds Fair season remaining Ac-
cordingly paid attendance of about lo3'ooV "uu's
daily would wipe out the Coating debt OF the EXPOSITION
Company II the attendance continues To improve
from week week it has done In the past ana aS
In all probability it will no. the Exposition Will exceed
this necessary average from tho present time u''h 'e
close and thereby pay of of its outstanding ac-
counts Of whatever magnitude they may be.
This &C mpuatiOm has taken no note OF the Sl'"oo'
600 which the directors have said thcy wouiu rc'u"
- the National Government II they had IL 10 elVc
n the end Of the Exposition. Probably this money
could be returned 10y the directory, for the salvage
from the great structures in the park would AGA
a large sum 10 the money left in the directors hahoS
from admissions and from the ooncesSionaire'' ",cr
paying all debts. Altogether the money side OF The
Fair may be said TO be in good condition
An open Sunday is a bare success financially o"'
the light attendance on these DAYS during June was
Instrumental in keeping the average of daily attendance
below the 100000 mark There are TOO many cN-
hibts covered on Sunday give the Fair bright
appearance. and this i would seem, conveys to some
people the idea that they not getting what 'hey
their moneys worth" This fact. added II The
weknOwn antipathy of the Sabbatarians to sunday
opening. will probably work TO a greater or less
detriment Of Sunday Fair. The Government OF lhe
United States still maintains its dignity by keeping
It's building closed Sunday, and this Is In itself
powerful detracor the structure contains much

heard many expressions upon the success or failure
Of Sunday opening, but a Sunday Fair Is almost an
assured fact from until The close Of the great
Exposition
