From our Special Correspondent
CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 1893.
To obtain pass to the fair will be
a difficult matter after the exposition
opens; in fact it is not an easy thing
to get one even now. Many employe.
have considerable trouble in getting
the cards bearing the signature of the
new superintendent of admissions
Every person having pass is required
to show his card each time he enters
the grounds whether an employe OF
visitor. Even foreign commissioners
are compelled to throw open theil
coats and show the tickets to convince
the guards that they have not farmed
out their passes to friends. The milo
insinuation that these representative:
of foreign government would be guilty
OF selling or lending their tickets is q
new sensation to them. They say the
exposition company might with equal
propriety put detectives on their track
to see that they were not guilty oi
carrying away everything Of porta
BILE nature within reach.
The regulations now in force are
lax compared with the precaution thai
will be taken next summer to prevent
the misuse of complimentary tickets
The photograph of pass-holders viii
be glued to their complimentaries
BY this simple system OF identified
ton the abuse of passes will be pre-
vented. At least 10000 persons will
sit in front OF the camera during the
next three months and have photo.
graphs made for fair passes.
