Decoration Day Attendance Was Nearly
Two Hundred Thousand.

CHICAGO, June Just as the officials
were mistaken in their estimate OF the
Sunday crowd by CUES ling too heavily, sc
they Were wrong in estimating Memorial
days attendance Sunday the officials
thought 10000 persons had paid admis
sion, and the official figures showed les'
than 5000 Their guess Of Memorial
day half-dollars paid in was under lOO,OOl
while, In fact, l23, ,97 paid to enter the
gates. Adding an estimate Of $1,000 passes,
the Memorial da, attendance was nearly
i9),0U. On the same day In ls76-also
one OF fine weather-the paid admissions
ia FairmouHt PARK were 81, 935
Except for the clear waters OF the la
goon, the visitor at the grounds yesterday
would have thought he had run into a
Gigantic Rubbish Yard.
The entire grounds resembled mammoth
back yard, Uttered with banana skins,
paper bags and lunch boxes, and the White
City bore plenty of evidence Of the enor-
nous crowds that passed through the
grounds.
Sunday visitors at the fair will get little
cons )lation from the religious exhibits
unless present plans are changed Not
only will most Of the gates be closed, but
in some instances curtains will be drawn
IN front of the exhibits
Fifteen churches and Christian organic A.
tions are represented in the religious
corner The Methodist church has the
most extensive collection Of religious pos
sessions, but the Young Mems Christian
association gives the best evidence Of the
real work IL is doing The association has
"A space l1X5J feet in size, sub divided into
five sections, Two of these show the gen
eral work of the association; one the educa-
tioual; one the international and the last
the college, railroad and training school
works.
The state commissioners Of the fair have
decided TO use their united influence TO
bring about better attendance iInmedi-
ately.
Big Crowds viii Come Later,
but they ought to be here now, and an
effort will b. made to hurry them up. To-
day an official letter, signed by the com
missioners, will he sent broadcast over the
country.
II will declare in emphatic terms that
the stories Of an incomplete fair are all
wrong. The popular idea that extortion-
ate prices are charged for everything In
Jackson park will DE vigorously com
batted Arrangements have been made to
telegraph the commissioners appeal to
every part OF the country and IL is believed
a marked increase in attendance will be
the immediate result of the letter.
