MOVING THE MIDWAY.
California to Get the Best Attractions
OF the Big Show.

Chicago, Nov California has cap
tured all the Midway Plaisance at
fractions worth having They will be
changed in form when set up on the west
coast, so that visitors who have seen
them here can look at them there again and
learn something. Old Vienna, for in
stance, is to be card at the mid-winter
exposition, but it won't be old Vienna
there in name or appearance. 1t will be
a reproduction of a pleasure garden of
Vienna. The German village that has
furnished good dinners, good beer and
luncheon, with the best music thrown in,
will change in appearance. in San Fran
cisco, Heidelberg taking the place of the
village.
THE BEST EFFECT.
But the best effect of the mid-winter
street of all nations will be streets of all
the eastern countries intersecting one
another One admission will allow per-
| son TO see Cairo street as it was seen here,
| and Turkish, Algerian, Moorish, Persian
and other streets of different countries of
that section of the earth. The most
popular of the naughty dancing girls Of
the Midway Plaisance are going
to San Francisco. They will
dance at some of the foreign theaters
there at the fair grounds. Negotiations
are pending between the managers of the
California show and the Libbey glass
works, and if that exhibit gets conces-
sion, California will have all of the best
attractions of the Midway, save Hagen
beck's animal show and the Ferris wheel
AS substitute for the latter, it is an
nounced that the mid-winter fair is to
have tower 266 feet high, which win be
illuminated by 5000 incandescent lights
and eighty arc lights.
AUGUSTA AT WORK.
Col. John William Clark, manager of
the Augusta exposition, and Hugh n
Middleton, of the Augusta Chronicle,
who is also representative from the
Augusta exposition, are labOring success
fully with visitors here to bring them to
their enterprise, which opens Nov. IA and
closes Dec. IA. They have secured a
number of exhibits which are going to
California when Georgia is done with
them. Albert Shepperson'S cotton eX-
hibit that was in the government build
ing, which is deemed remarkably fine by
experts, has been secured by these gen
tlemen, and it is thought that it alone will
draw people from all sections Of the south
to the Augusta exposition. which is the
only one that is held in the south this
year.
PATRICK wALsH's PULL.
Patrick Walsh, the president of the
Augusta Exposition, has been able to
draw lot of prominent gentlemen there
by virtue of his position as commissioner
at large of Georgia to the Worlds Co
lumbian Exposition. The national com
missioners are all going there. Secretary
of Agriculture Morton accepted MIR.
Walsh's invitation when here, and when
Mr.. Walsh relinquished his duties in the
commission to go home, he stopped at
Washington to invite President Cleve-
land and his cabinet to Augusta.
The Ferris wheel continued to revolve
to-day despite the order of Director
General Davis closing all the Midway
attractions. A company of Columbian
guards was sent to the wheel to enforce
the order The manager of the big wheel
refused to obey and one guard who at
tempted to take possession of one of the
cars was elected.
