WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, July %
Excepting the arrival Of many proml-
nent visitors, West Virginia at the FAIR
has been quiet this week. Those VINO
came. however, found plenty OF amuse-
ment i'm Midway and the other parts OF
tba grounds, and were glad OF the quiet
rest which they obtained at the state
building. Mr.. A. 3. White, OF the Par-
kersburg Journal, was among the ar
rivals, and on Thursday evening In
company with the West Virginians, he
"did Midway" Midway was lllumln-
ated not only with electricity, but WIN
an extensive display of fireworks. Mr..
White, in the dazzle of the many bright
lights, became bewidered and, as
particularly fine Roman candle circled
over his head, surprised his compan-
ions by exclaiming, "My, but don't that
Ferris Wheel show up In the night,
thought" 1t Is not recorded whether
Mr.. White "tred the wheel" he so
much admired.
The big restaurant which was last
week commenced between the West
Virginia and Maryland buildings, Will
probably never see completion. IL
was the understanding when South and
North Carolina failed to erect State
buildings, that the space was to remain
unoccupied, and the States surrounding
the open space strenuously objected to
having the beautiful lawn misplaced by
an eating house, no matter how ar
tractive the structure. The building,
as it was planned, would have
bordered closely upon West Virginia's
broad verandas and in case OF fire would
have prevented the firemen from opera
ting at the rear of the building. Fur
ther, the restaurant would have been
an immense fretrap In itself and would
have endangered all the State struc-
lures surrounding it. For these rea-
sons Executive Commissioner 9. w.
Chancellor together with the Executive
Commissioners from Maryland, Della
ware, New York, Pennsylvania and
New Mexico, held an indignation meet
ing on the subject, the outcome Of
which was the serving Of AN injunction
prohibiting the Wellington Catering
Co. from erecting the structure ii had
begun. Ia consequence the quantity
Of timber is left in the rough state on
grounds and the carpenters have taken
their departure.
The change Of the State day from
September to August 23d was formally
concluded by the reception this week
OF letters from the State Commissioners
OF West Virginia adopting the new day
for their State ceremonies.
