association have invested many mil

in Indian manufactured croekery,
hand-painted by native Indians and

The total value of the collection will
be something enormous, reaching hun

visitors will at the same time be exhib-
its as custodians of the costly treasures

The idea of closing Jackson park to
visitors from April 10 May has been
abandoned. The failure of congress to
make an appropriation for the benefit
of the judges of awards has made the
local officials feel poor, and they are

ceeds and between March 10 and May l
will not open except to those holding

The first five million of the souvenir
tickets will be turned over to Superin-
tendent Tucker of the bureau of ad-
mission April l. Already many orders
for tickets have been received, and it is
thought that at least eighty per cent.
of the lot will be sold to Chicago mer-
chants for distribution among their
customers before May l. Superin.
tendent Tucker figures that many of
these tickets will be retained as
souvenirs of the fair. President Hig-
inbotham also expects many of the
tickets to be held back and estimates
that of the first FIVE million at least
one-half will never be presented for
cancellation.
