took advantage of lessened crowds to
more fully examine the covered ex-
hiblts. Irish day was as rainy as any
day we'll can be, but 100000 people
braved the storm and watched 2 900 of
Erin sons VIII o moisture and nj nd could
not daunt their march under the green
flag. Sunday was pleasant and AZ, 900
people paid to see bslf show. Mon
day the attendance dropped to l2s, 900,
figure which has not been reached
before in some weeks. Tuesday the
admissions crawled up to l45, 900, and
Wednesday good weather brought out
$4,000. Thursday bsttered this and
everything is boo zinc again.
Five hundred boys aud girls from
the Carlisle, Pa, Indian school have
been visiting the fair during the past
week. They have been seen in parades
heard in concerts, and all In all have
proved themselves as capable of "doing

Rhode Island celebrated her own day
Thursday. The Newport artillery was
a feature, in a magnificent parade.
New York city promises to send lot
OF enthusiastic Gothamites to add to the
gloriss Of Manhattan day, Oct. 81. 1t
is assured that the New Workers. will
make the day a oorker.
A great many people still believe
that the exposition will be open after
the close of October. The fair will
positively not exist, as fair, after l2
o'clock, noon, Oct. 81. 1t may be, OF
1t may not be, that for short time
after the formal clt sing a partial
exhibit will be made, just as for few
weeks prior to the formal opening
visitors were admitted to the grounds
on payment OF fee, but, as prior to
the formal opening, and indeed, for
some time after it, there was no full
I display, 80 neither will there be full
display after Oct. 81. The work of dis
tribution of the exhibits will begin on
the first day OF November. After that
there may be magnificent display OF
relics. but the full display will be
ended.
Now is the time to come. The brief
season Of the equinoctial rains has
ended. October is usually Chicago's
most pleasant month, and this October
is not likely to be an exception to the
rule. There ~ but q short time left in
which to see the great White City in
all its glory. II you have not yet seen
it take the next train that will bring
you to it; and bring the children with
you, tor the exposition is of itself a
liberal education.
Children are now admitted to the
fair for ten cents each. Inmates Of
charitable institutions can enter free.
Mrs. Potter Palmer has been pre-
scented with souvenir album, the gift
of the queen of Siam. In addition to
the recipient of the beautiful gift, Nine.
Linchse Suriya, the lady commissioner
from Siam, her husband, and Consul
General Smith, aud almost all OF the
board oflady managers, were present al
the presentation. Mr.. Suriya made
the presentation address to Mrs. Potter
Palmer. He referred to the women oil
his country and their equality with
the men. lie concluded by praisine
the women OF America and presenting
the queens gift, an album containing
photographs of the royal family o.
Siam and the finest buildings in tn,
kingdom. Mrs. Palmer replied in q
happy manner, commencing the
exhibit OF the Siamese women snd
thanking the queen for the honor done
her. Several selections of music were
rendered and a reception given thu
ladies present by the Siamese in theil
tea room adjoining the hall.
The Midway has been flooded with
counterfeit dollars, but the counterfeit
ers have been caught and are coopet
up. There are still some counterfeiti
in the way OF fake shows which would
better be closed. Now that the end o
the fair is in sight. the struggle TO
, patronage is greater than ever. Gu
prices prevail and it Is likely tb'
| Plsisance will be mad scramble TO
, dimes from now on, where formerly
{ quarters and halves were the only coin
looked upon by show managers.
