CHICAGO, Oct. 2.--This was a dreary
day at the fair. Clouds hung over the
White City, obscuring the domes of the
buildings. A fine drizzle fell during
the day. The attendance Yesterday,
1923, was larger than that of any Sun
day for many a month. 1t was good
start. and ENCOURAGES the belief that
October is to be the banner month of
the fair. Up to date nearly 100000
people have attended the exposition. 1t
is expected that this figure will be in
creased to 20,GO0.0OO by the time the
gates are closed. OF this number. Chi
cago day, Oct. 9, is expected to add
something like half a million. This
Will, in all likelihood, be the largest day
OF the exposition.
In addition to the test of California
wines by MI. Oldham, who has been
appointed by the Royal British commits
sion. Prof. Wiley. chief chemist of the
United States department of agricuit-
ure, has consented 10 make a thorough
examination of the wines. He began
today and will spend four or five hours
DAY until the work is completed. His
report will relate principally to the
purity of the wines. The bureaus APP
appointed to test the wines at the expo
Sltion are not regarded with much favor
blythe foreigners. Several foreign ma
tons, including France and Austria,
have representatives on the ground who
will make separate reports to their
commissioners
France has three experts and they
will i'll all likelihood test their wines.
The boys and girls of the Indian
school, of Carlisle, Pa, arrived here to-
day to visit the fair. There are $40 of
them and they are making headquar-
tiers at Windsor Park. They have a
military band of thirty-two pieces and
will give daily concerts.
There was q reception in the Woman's
building today i'll honor of the queen of
Siam, and Mrs. Potter Palmer was the
recipient of All embroidered and richly
ornamented album, the gift of Her Maj
eSty. The ornamentaJiOnS were the
queens own handiwork.
The subcommittee of the executive
committee of the national commission
submitted report today on the Dur
buIow resolution. which was adopted.
The DurburOw resolution is now pend
ing i'll congress, and the commissioners
anu WI III ldil OluCldlS are hlUS
every effort to defeat it. 1t was offered
at the instance of members of the board
of lady managers, and provides that fac
simile medals and diplomas shall be
issued to expert workmen by the expo
sition. The subcommittee had extended
conferences with Mrs. Potter Palmer
and chairman of the committee on
awards. When Mrs. Palmer was asked
why the lady managers had presumed
to go outside of the woman's depart
ment to do this work, she replied that
no one else had done it, and lady man
ayers recognized the right to occupy
this field by a right recognized by all
nations; the right of discovery"
The point that caused serious discus
sion was that the proper details by
which to carry out the central idea of
recognizing all artisans whose work
warranted it iii such manner as to be
acceptable to them and their authors.
No plan was advanced that was accept
able. The work of selecting workmen
worthy of medals would create dissatis-
faction with their co-workers. 1t is
asserted that some feasible plan will
eventually be adopted by the commits
sion
