| T5.1Oo pnid admissions at tho Worlds Fair
gates to-day. when no special feature was on
the card and the show closed at night, proves.

this desired end.

gala appearance much desired by the off,
cials. and so necessary for the success Of the
Fair. The only exception to the finished ap-
rcnrance ofthe park is in the grcat plaza sur

they will add much to the appearance OF the
grand stand.
