CHICAGO, June 1.-THE steadily in
creasing attendance at the exposition
shows that at last the tide of travel is
setting this way and that the throngs at
jackson park will no longer consist
chiefly of Chicagoans. The latter will
continue going as often as before but the
majority OF the visitors on the grounds
will be strangers.
Thursday nearly 10000 persons paid
to enter the exposition. This large at
tendance was mostly due to the presence
of the inianta of Spain, the Princess
Eulalia. 1t was princess day. When
the princess and her suite entered the
grounds at the west end OF the Midway
salute was fred by battery from Fort
Sheridan. The royal party passed
through the plaiaance and direct to the
administration building, where break
fast was served at O'Clock. Then they
visited the woman's building, where an
informal reception was held. In
OF fireworks was given in
her honor. The "White city, never
showed to 30 good advantage as ID did on
Thursday night. The basin In front OF
the administration building was @ sea of
FIRE, while skyrockets we're "a thick as
stars. The principal feature OF the dis
play was massive portrait of the
princess, composed OF 10000 separate
burning pieces OF fireworks. Yesterday
the princess spent the entire afternoon
in visiting the midway plaisance. Mon
day she says she will see the Wild West
aa she once Witnessed it in Paris, where
Col. W. +. Cody was introduced to a
number of the Spanish royalty.

cohorts, headed by the cowboy band.
They marched into the grounds at Six
tieth street, and lined up along the art
gallery, the United States troops ex-
tending to the Nebraska building. As

cepted the building in fne speech, say
ing among other things about the growth
of this western state: "If Columbus
had kindly delayed his discovery a few
wears, or il the settlement of Nebraska
had been started q quarter of a century
earlier, at the pace she has already set /
have no doubt she would have stood
high in rank with her competitors. But
time has not ripened her industries nor
has age mntured the creations of her en-
terprise. Nebraska hes not an extensive
| nor varied exhibit at the fair, yet l am
proud to assist in dedicsting Nebraska a
modest offering to the Columbian expo
sition."
Ex-Governor Furneus concluded the
| ceremonies by q happy little speech, in
which he said that Nebraska had the
fattest cattle, the prettiest women and
the sweetest babies in the world.
