WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS. CHICAGO,
October Ga threatening sky, scurry-
ing rain, clouds and high winds kept
tlmid people from Jackson Psrk to-day.
The attendance regardless OF this fact
was good. Visitors are arriving now 10
be here on Chicago Day and these are
gradually swelling the number OF sight
seers at the White City to goodly pro-
portions.
The carriage makers came down TO
the Fair to-day, after their big banquet
last night, and spent the day cele brat
ing. The national organization has
been in session several DAYS, and this
day was set aside by the Fair officials
for them. The browning event Of the
day was a cruise through the lagoons
on decorated launches. There were
ten electric launches, and all were
filled with the carriage makers and
their friends. Frequent landings were
made at the principal buildings. The
members of the association called on
the officials at the Administration
building, and altogether the day was
happily spent.
The companies Of the Indian school at
Carlisle, Pa, marched into the grounds
again to-day headed by their band. A
dress parade was given on the terminal
plaza.
The Poles at the Fair, in conjunction
with the resident Poles OF Chicago, have
arranged a programme Of merit for
their day and tomorrow will see a
mammoth parade through the park.
The Poles expect to attract a crowd TO
TIE Fair which will compare favorably
with that Of other ~nationalities. The
parade will pass through the down town
streets and those participating will take
the trains for the park at Van Buren,
street. Tho exercises at the festival
hall include music and speeches by
Bishop Spauldlng, Carter Harrison and
others.
1t is likely that the judges OF awards
OF the beer exhibits will rot be able TO
report for some days. A plan of judg-
ing the exhibits was arranged by John
BOYD Thatcher, assisted by a committee
selected from the national commission.
There was so much dissatisfaction that
a new plan IS being formulated, where
by the judges will test beers and ales In
the bottles In which they are exhibited.
The former plan was a secret one.
The beer and ale was TO have been sub
mitted to the judges without their
knowing the brands, but they consider
ed this an imputation OF dishonesty,
and refused to be governed by the
rules.
The Washington State building, to-
2 ether with all OF the exhibits, have
been donated by the State to the perma-
nent Worlds Fair Museum. The build
ing was constructed Of huge fir trees at
a cost Of nearly 800, 900.
The California building has also been
offered to the Museum, and will prob
ably be accepted.
Next week presents many special
events. which will greatly increase the
attendance, providing the weather is
| good. The banner day Of the eXposi-
tion is expected to be Monday. This is
Chicago Day. The programme includes
a grand parade Of floats and speeches
by orators of national reDute.
Several States will also celebrate dur
ing the week and popular features OF
amusement will be numerous.
The national commission held a
lengthy meeting to-day and adopted q
resolution calculated 70 lessen the eI-
pense OF holding sessions. 1t provides
that no commissioner shall draw q per
diem unless he is present at roli call. II
is expected that the effect Of the reso-
luton will be a marked increase In at
tendance.
