Director Davis.

CHICAGO, Nov. l.-California has cap
tured all of the Midway Plaisance at
fractions worth having. They will be
changed IN form when set up on the
West coast so that visitors who have
seen them here can look at them there
again and learn something. Old Vienna.
for instance, is to be a card at the mid
winter exposition, but it won't be Old
Vienna there in name or appearance.
1t will be reproduction of a pleasure
garden of Vienna. The German village
that has furnished good dinners, good
beer and luncheon. with the best of
music thrown in, will change its APP
pointments in San Francisco, Heidel-
berg castle taking the place of the viii
lage. But the best effect of the mid
winters street OF all nations will be the
streets of all the Eastern countries
interSecting one another, One admiS-
sion will allow a person to see Cairo
street as it was seen here, and Turkish,
Algerian, Moorish, Persian and other
streets of different countries of that
section of the earth. The most popular
of the naughty dancing girls of the
Midway are going to San Francisco. too.
They will dance at some of the foreign
theaters there at the fair grounds.
Negotiations are now pending be-
tween the managers of the California
show and the Libbey Glass works, and
if that exhibit gets a concession Cali
fornia will have all of the best attrac-
tons of Midway, save Hagenbeck's ami
nal show and the Ferris wheel. As a

the mid-winter fair is to have a tower
266 feet high. which will be Illuminated
by 5000 incandescent lights and 50 are
lamps.
Col. John w. Clark. manager OF the
Augusta exposition, and Hudson Mid
dleton, of the Augusta Chronicle, and
also a representative of The Augusta
exposition, are laboring successfully
with exhibitors here to bring them to
their enterprise, which opens Nov. IA
and closes Dec. IA. They a secured
a number of exhibits which are going to
California when Georgia is done with
them. Albert Shepperton'S cotton ex-
hibit, that was in the government build
Ing here, which is deemed remarkably
fine by experts, has been secured by
these gentlemen, and it is thought that
it alone will draw people from all Sec
lions of the South to the Augusta eX-
position, WDlcn Is the only one 10 DC
held in the South this year.
Patrick Walsh, the president of the
Augusta exposition, has been able to
draw a lot of prominent men there by
virtue of his position as commissioner
at-Iarge from Georgia to the Worlds
Columbian exposition. The national
commissioners are all going there. Sec
rotary of Agriculture Morton accepted
Mr.. Walsh's invitation when here, and
when Mr.. Walsh relinquished his du-
ties in the commission 10 go home he
stopped at Washington to invite Presi-
dent Cleveland and his cabinet to Au-
guSta.
The Ferris wheel continued 10 revolve
today despite the order of Director-Gen-
eral Davis closing all Midway attract
ions. A company of Columbian guards
was sent TO the wheel TO enforce the
order. The manager of the big wheel
refused to obey and one guard who at
tempted to take possession of one OF the
cars was elected. The manager of the
wheel applied for al injunction restrain
ing the fair officials from interfering
with his business.
The official figures of paid admissions
to the fair up to Monday, the closing
day, are q, 1863. 46l. Adding the number
admitted on passes the total is Swelled
TO 81, 39,04l. 1t is considered by eXpOsi-
ton statiSticlans hat these figures beat
the record made at Paris, all things con-
Sidered. Paris showed a total Of rs, 49,
353, but they had practically no free adj
missions, while here over 5000, 900 were
issued. Nobody who had business of
any kind on the ground was required to
pay The exhibitors held monthly
passes, and so did all their employees.
The receipts of this exposition laid
Paris away in the shade. The total re-
ceiptS of the Paris exposition were
IS. 500, 900. The returns are not all in
yet for the worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton, as the amount of salvage, etc, is to
be added, bat the receipts will not tall
to her exhibitors. Chicago gave them
room free.
Chairman OF the Finance Committee
Peck reports the treasury in a healthy
condition. All obligations have been
met, and there is a cash balance on hand
of $500, 900. The gate receipts from
now OIL and the salvage. it is figured,
VIII pay the current expenses until the
end. SO that the stockholders, who have
holdings representing s., ZOO, 900, upon
which they scarcely expected to realize
anything, will be paid 80 cents on the
dollar. Most of them, however, are eX-
pected to be generous and contribute
their stock to the Columbian museum.
1t is believed that 81. 500. 600 of this stock
will be SO donated, and this, with the
81, coo, 900 gift to the museum by Marshal
Field, the 100000 by George NJ. Pull
man n between 500. 900 and 81, 600, 000
more that is expected from others will
give the museum a working capital of
over IS, 0O0,0O0.
