The English are very fond Of the

discovered IN the Britain museum
which gives the origin of the national
sport It was invented by a London
pawnbrolzer, whose name was William
Kew. Kew not only lent money but
he sold cloth, and for the latter pJIC
pose had yard measure with which
he used to compute the amounts One
day, to distract himself he took the
three round balls which are the en-
blems of his trade-they may still be
seen IN front OF certain shops in Lon
don-and, placing them on his counter,
began to hit them about with n yard
measure He found it made a pretty
game. He got kind of skill in max
ing one ball glance off the other, and
his friends who saw him thus employed
called the game Bills yard 1t was
soon shortened into billiards But the
yard was the instrument with which
the balls were knocked about and the
difficulty arose what to call it. They
called it after the name of the pawn
broker-a Kew.

that they were held in the Worlds

Between the meetings Of the editors
and the sessions of the women's con-
gress there were frequent excursions to
the grand central point of worldwide
interest jackson park-public and
private receptions, theater parties, etc,
and the visiting celebrities were treated
almost as guests of the city. 1t is not
at all likely that any of them will ever
forget the occasion, for everything went

sented at the worlds fair SO far charmed

superiority that their enthusiasm and
praise knew no bounds. They will all

and their ears heard, and those who de-
pend on them for their everyday in
formation will be more fully and re-
1iably informed than they could other
wise have been.
The fair officials have done all in their
power to render the visits of the nota-
bles enjoyable, according them every
possible privilege and in every conceiva-
BILE way ministering to their comfort
and convenience. 1t is safe to predict
that in all the worlds fair season there
will not be an event which will add
more to the history of the exposition
than will the meeting of the newspaper
people.
Saturday is at present the great day
at the fair. The haif-holiday granted
by many of the business houses of the
city on that day to give their employees
a chance to visit the white City,
swells the number of admissions to
more than double that of any other
day of the week. There is also much
greater incentive to visit the fair on
Saturday, and especially in Intervening.
in the superior attractions which are
offered in the form of fine musical con-
certs and brilliant Examinations. There
are several bands constantly employed
at the grounds, and they perform every
day, but on Saturday, in view of the in
creased attendance, the directors exert
themselves to furnish something extra
good. The Examinations in the evening
defy description. They must be seen
to be properly understood and appre-
ciated.
The average daily attendance for the
first three weeks of the exposition has
been in the neigh borhood of thirty
thousand, Saturdays excepted. The
regular Saturday crowd is about three
times that number. At that rate, Of
course, there is no money being made,
as the regular daily expenses of the.
fair greatly exceed the amount re
ceived from the sale of tickets, but the
attendance is on the increase, and when
the summer season is fairly on it will
be twice or three times as large as at
present, and in the fall season the rich
will come. One reason why there is rush
a small attendance just now is that the
knowledge of the incompleteness of the
exhibits has been so widely published
that 1t is keeping great many out
siders from coming until later on.
