CHICAGO, June 2S.-From the size OF
the crowd that attended the worlds fair
today, it is evident that special features
are not necessary to bring the populace
to jackson park. There was no proml-
nent attraction Oh the programme today,
no state, society or organization OF any
kind had celebration, and yet 95,997
people who paid passed through the
turnsties. 1t was bright, clear and
delightfully."- cool and pleasant day, and
everybody seemed to enjoy it. The total
attendance of yesterday, Brooklyn day.
was 1925, of which 13l, 1872 were paid
admissions. At the centennial on the
corresponding day the total attendance
was &c, 1874.
At the Iowa building in the afternoon
a reception was held for the alumni of
the state normal school of Iowa, the
principal, teachers and students. The
literary body was received by the CON-
missioners at the gentlemen's parlor.
The July programme is to be the
greatest day of the fair, as splendid
arrangements for the celebration of
the day with BETTING dignity have al
ready been arranged. AT meeting
held this afternoon in the office OF the
commissioner on ceremonies, the Amer
lean visitors, members of the committee
on ceremonies, Mr.. Millett and others,
it was decided to designate the day
Liberty Bell Day." The programme,
as arranged, will be given in the grand
plaza in front of the administration
building at IL a. m.
Plaisance Celebration.
Alta meeting~of the executive COM
mittee of the Midway Plaisance it was
decided to recommend thatthe Midway
people make a separate parade on july
4. The parade will form at the east
entrance 20 the plaisance, near Stoney
Island viaduct, and proceed to the mill
tary camping ground near the west
entrance. Here the American flag
will be raised and saluted, and all
bands in unison will play the American
anthem. to be followed by the various
national airs. Gov. Altgeld will be in
vited to deliver an address. All the
concessions will be decorated with
American and foreign flags, and strings
of lanterns will be hung across thu
avenue throughout its length. In the
evening a picnic for the coneessicnaires
and their families will be given in the
balloon park.
Unless the unexpected should occur.
there will be a dairy exhibit at the
worlds fair during the month of July.
This announcement was issued by Chief
Buchanan. of the department of agri-
culture, today, and was received with
Thanksgiving by some 1,5G0 exhibitors,
who for two months have been compelled
to submit TO the most eXaSperatilg de-
lays and financial losses by the failure
of the exposition con pany to furnish
facilities for displaying their product.
The chief cause of complaint was the
absence of any kind of refrigerator
service. The plant that had been put in
Failed Utterly
to keep the butter cases cool. The sys-
TEN is that Of pipes running through all
building. These pipes not only leaked,
but were put in the bottom of the cases
instead of the top. This difficulty,
however. had been largely remedied,
but some days ago, to the dismay of
the farmers, the engine that operates
the plant broke down. The plant
failed in the middle of the night, and by
morning the fine rolls of frozen butter
which had been worked into all man
ner of designs had melted. The prod
uct of the dairy ran down the cases and
over everything. Now that Chief Blu
chanan has come to the rescue, new eX-
hibits will be supplied.
Commissioners Hassler, of Paraguay,
has closed that country's exhibit in the
agricultural and forestry building, be-
cause OF an indignity which he suffered
at the hands of Columbian guard,
Pending an adjustment of the difficulty,
the exhibits will be closed. A few days
ago, Commissioner HasSler, who was in
stalling an exhibit in the an
thropological building, told an
assistant to take piece of
bunting to another building and have
it made into covering. The guard at
tie entrance, following the orders of
Prof. Putnam, refused to allow the man
to take the bunting from the building.
whereupon Commissioner Hassler took
the package and attempted to leave the
building. He told the guard he was
foreign commissioner, but that did not
alter the guards position, and he grabbed
L
shoulders and was knocked down for his
trouble. Other guards came to the res
cue, but further hostilities we're avoid
ed, as Prof. Putnam's assistant inter-,
fered. Commissioner Hassler immedi-
ately wrote Mr.. Fearns, chief of foreign
affairs, asking that the guard be re-
leased from duty. This was not done,
and so no PREPARATION has been made for
the insult. Commissioner Hassler coolly
Closed Paraguay's Exhibit
The exposition officials disclaim any
knowledge of the affair, and Col. Rice,
commander of the guards, said that lie
has had no official notification to re-
move the offending guard. Prof. Put
nam said that the guards at the anthro-
biological building were instructed not
to allow packages to be removed. but
that the officer was supposed TO display
some common sense regarding the mat
ter. Commissioner Hassler was very
Wrathy when seen this afternoon, and
ayows that the covers shall remain over
Paraguay's exhibits until the matter is
settled.
