The Matter of Attendance
is still in dispute, because all the tickets
have not been counted up. The young
man who is doing this work guessed, from
the box Office accounts already prepared,
that the paid admissions numbered 141 900.
This is nearly twice as many as the Phila-
delpha centennial counted up on the
opening day. There were 76,172 paid adj
missions May 10. 1876, and total paid and
free was lsG,672. On the following day the
paid admissions dropped TO IA, ,T22. Only a
few times during the exhibition did the
figures exceed those of the Chicago open
ing day On Pennsylvania day they
reached 257, ,l69; on Delaware, Maryland
and District of Columbia days l61 ,355 and
on the day of the international pyrotechnic
contest. l76,29i. There will be many days
in this fair when the biggest Of these re-
turns will be exceeded.

The Duke Enjoying Himself
The Duke of Veragua started out early
yesterday to see Chicago, and the first
thing he did was to call on Mayor Harri-
son at the city hall. He was accompanied
by his son, his brother, Commander Dick
ems and Collector John NJ. Clark. He was
escorted into the presence of the mayor by
Chief of Police McClaughey. The CONVEX
sation was conducted in French. The party
then visited the big Chamber of Commerce,
Marshal Fields wholesale store and called
on Governor Altgeld at the Palmer House.

Tho Baby Played It. Part Well.

The hit of tho evening at Herrniann's was the baby, Marion Manola and Jack Mason produced Caste, and it was not until the third and last act of the play that anything interesting occurred The first two acts were stupid, and there was absolutely nothing to interest the house. Mason was stiff and anxious, and Marion Manola was too fearful and cried all over the stage The curtain went up on the great third act and revealed prop baby and the usual accompaniments,
 The widow talked love to the prop baby, and half a dozen characters made enough noise to awaken Brooklyn po- liceman, yet the baby slept on all un- conscious. Finally they took the baby of, and when it came on again it was q genuine baby, flesh and blood. It was a humorous baby for it's age, for the pro gramme said that but year had elapsed while the orchestra was playing popular tunes. The baby must have grown rather rapidly, and it was too big for the crib from which it had apparently been taken but few moments before.
 The baby was letter perfect in his lines. It looked as if he was waiting for his cue and wagged its head at its papa, Mir. Mason, the returned dead warrior. Finally after ho had handled it as if it were d pat of butter, its papa asked somebody to take it away, and then he went over and began to weep-why, nos body knew. No father need be ashamed of such rapidly growing baby as that was, even on the stage. New York Eyen- ing Sun.

He Broke the Record.

"Talk about getting there," said an Eighth ward preacher yesterday. 'If l didn't break the record Christmas Sun day, l don't want the medal It was this way: Just half an hour before the services opened my organist sent word that she was i'll and couldn't appear. There we were, lot of Christmas music prepared, with an organ voluntary for morning and evening on the programme. Then ] came to the front, and with hall an hours practice went on and played the music myself, besides preaching the sermon and leading the singing. You should have seen me,
 First l would read, then play an ao. compartment, then dodge up again and pray, hopping up and down like a bird on twig, and l got through all right too, How did manage the voluntary? Well, you see music is my professional do not call preaching profession, it is a calling-and just improvised, mixing in dance music, drawing the frisky notes out long to make Sunday music out of them Oh, was all right, When my voice fails me l will only just have to fali back on my profession. Good day. Got to fly, you know-mighty busy" and the sturdy little preacher diyed for the elevator and enhvened it's downward trip on the same by singing few inn provised bars of opera to the office boy Minneapolis Tribune.
