Chicago papers from the start IN the
most merclless manner in order to in.
duce them toimake regular hall rates.
But this they have declined to Do.
They have little by little let out only
q very little slack in their rigid lines.
They Pized up the. situation Mt the out:
set and classified it into question OF
months and ofpockot books, their aim
being to get good average out OF each
OF the months OF the fair; at least us
good an average as they'could; their
conviction being that low rates IN the
first threesmonths would not inducs tho
masses to come in those months, but
would only result in 'greasing tat,
pig, !" already too greasy, or, in other
words, making the rich richer at the eX-
,pense, otthe railroads. Their reasoning
on this head was strong and sound
enough 10 keep eNch other in
line, and they took their punishment
from the Ghicago press with philoso'
phyif not with indifference. They claim
that up to this time they are winners
by the course they have pursued.
nRPEw AND THE CHICAGO PRESS.
It has been amusing to watch how the
Chicago papers have alternately coddled
and kicked Chauncey Depew, president
Of the New y ork Central. In one Of his
"slop over speeches" Ia borrowed phrase
from Artemus Ward) Depew had pro-
iessed himself an adopted son OF Chi.

Vanderbilt representative gave no sign
of,taking the hint. Nor has he up TO
this time. Seeing no result save the
swelling Of the personality of Chauncey

Chicago family against him, and to
speak Of him as an migrate, and ahum-

work, and that it is time to set the bour-

BREAD AND BUTTER BRIGADE.
At,the fairgrounds the increased at
tendance of.the "bread and butter bril-
gade," alias the lunch brigade, is imme.
-diately noticeable as is also their pres
ence at the thousand and one hotels that
compass the grounds round about in the
rus, in trGe country. "A great temporary
caravansery, very close towhere lwrito.

more guests.who have not been here all
