Chicago, Oct. 26.-There is not likely to
no any more days of great attendance at
the fair. To-day was rainy and cold and
decreased the estimated figures of at
tendance for this week. Some people
hoped that million people would go
through the gates the last day, which
will be next Monday, but the crush of
Chicago day, which was something over
$4,000 scared people trifle. Indeed it
was that fear that in some
measure kept the figures for Manhattan
day down. A half million or more people
we're confidently expected and many of
those here to attend the fair, and large
number of Chicago people, deemed it wise
to stay away. 1t is this feeling that may
keep crowds away the last day, which is
now being doomed. If another million
people see the fair, including those who
struggle in after the gates are officially
closed, sanguine expectations will be
realized That would put the total paid
attendance at 81 ,421, 100.
