people in the exposition grounds since
July 4. As early as s o'clock every
means of transportation had been tested
to is fullest capacity, and the strain
was continuous until late in the fore
noon. At the Fifty-seventh street en-
trance the department of admissions
had arranged Tor large crowd. and six
gates were working. This. however,
was totally inadequate to accommodate
the rush, and the four ticket sellers were
confronted by lines of people reaching
in some cases for nearly a block. At
two or three other entrances it was the
same, and 1t was long after the noon
hour before the delay was obviated.
Illinois day presented feast OF good
things for the visitors, and most
pleasing TO all was the fact that there
were to be no speeches. Instead there
were many imposing parades, and the
presence of Gov. Altgeld lent dignity to
the scene. The days entertainment
began about $3.50, when 5000 members
OF the Illinois national guard entered
the fair grounds at the west entrance to
the Plaisance. They marched through
the famous street to the main grounds,
their splendid appearance arousing
great enthusiasm. As soon as the troops
had passed into the main grounds. the
Midway PlalSance cohorts fell in behind
and brought up the rear of novel and
imposing procession, which reached the
state building about 1880. Here the
jam was tremendous. Every inch OF
space was taken, and the roofs of all
the buildings adjoining the Illinois
building were black with people. The
PlaiSance people Immediately returned
to their places of business, and the
militia, which had been i'll command of
GOV. Altgeld.
