Correspondence Of THE RECORD.
CHICAGO, October 5, 1898.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand
special tickets for Chicago day have
been delivered to l. Grace Tucker, SUI
perinten dent of admissions. They are
designed as souvenirs of the great day.
Each card of admission bears coupon
which will be torn off at the gate, lesy-
ing the ticket itself in the possession OF
the purchaser as memento Of attend
ance. The superintendent of admis-
sions is sanguine enough to believe that
every one Of tho $50, 900 tickets will be
sold before the close of Chicago day,
though he does not pretend to predict
that all of them will be presented at the
gate. He says, moreover, that be Will
not be surprised il the record showed
IN attendance of so, 600 children. He
figures that the employers who have
already agreed to send all their
I'm ployes to the grounds on that day
will swell the attendance of children to
the largest total since the opening.
Arrangements are being made to
handle any number of the little ones in
safety, and the transportation lines
have been ask ed to max special prepar-
atoms for their safety and comfort.
Extra guards will be on duty at the rail-
road stations and about the grounds
wherever there is ap. to be congestion
of the crowds The ambulance corps
will be doubled for duty and the entire
force OF the Columbian guard will be in
active service to see that the crowds are
handled comfortably.
Forty Turks shook the exposition
dust from their trousers and started
Thursday noon on their 1000. mile
Journey back to Constantinople. The
brigade included the Sedan CHAIR men
whose high rates and srasping DISPOSE
tons made their business total fail
ure.

dinner, and the prayer in the mosque
sought especial favor at tho great Pro
phet's shrine for the homesick crew

muddy, sloppy and otherwise terrible
byways of their capital.
