the laces were being taken out OF their
cases and each piece counted it was
found that thirty pieces were missing.
CabIegrams were Immediately sent to

SUNDAY ATTENDANCE,
A heavy fog enveloped the White
City in Jackson park this morning.
The air was raw and chilly and the
outlook for the third open Sunday OF
the Worlds Fair was anything but
promising.
To make things worse it was not an
nounced until yesterday whom Chief
Justice Fuller made his decision that
tho fair would be open to-day. 1t was
feared by the officials that it would be
losing game to open the gatea to the
public
They continued in this belief until
towards noon, when the fog foated
away aud the sun came out bright
mud warm. Then the whole aspect
changed. The people began to come
slowly at first, but the number increased
at such u rate that all the railroads
aud steamboats, were crowded to
the guards and by o'clock there were
between 10000 and $4,000 people on the
grounds,
1t was different sort OF crowd from
that OF last Sunday. Then there were
few but workingmen and their families
to be seen. To-day the workingmen
wore out in numbers, but there were
thousands and thousands pf tourists
and pleasure seekers.
They patronized the gondolas and the
electric launches and took in the sights
Of the Midway plaisance. But the
buildings were not neglected The
great manufacturers and liberal arts
building was thronged, and so were the
art galleries and the transportation and
other structures.
The feature OF the day was the ascen-
sion OF the captive balloon. Thousands
gathered around to soc the huge air

body seemed to be anxious to take

fifteen could make the trip at time
