The fair is a matter of concessionaires
and concessions from limit to limit, says
The Chicago correspondent of the New
YORK Press. The cost of viewing the ex-
bibition becomes largely a matter of
+asfe and personal resource. You can get
IN for 80 cents, and if your legs are good
rnd yogr physical endurance great, can
sae more things than were ever before
displayed for that price. But the chances
are that your muscular powers will give
ont before the end of the first day, and
mat YOU will be driven. during the re-
wander of your stay, to yield to the bank
Tunting Establishments of the roller chair
ro1cessionaire at IS cents an hour. PeO-
UIa generally have little conception of the
ddsoGraTjhical dimensions of this fair. 1t
E immense 1t seems like doing New
York in a day. 1t is long and wide, and
lis length and width call for days and
weeks of patient, plOdding investigation.
mt the cOncessionaire. IT. re-
marked the returning American tourist,
rs he stood on the deck of a transatlantic
liner in the Mersey, off Liverpool, raising
his hat and sweeping his arm low as his
body bent in deferential posture toward
+,e landing station, IF there is man,
woman or child in all England to whom |
haven't given a shilling now is the time
for him to speak, for I'm going home"
And so with the concessionaire and the
quarter dispensing visitor. The former
stands in serried rank awaiting the charge
of the latter They are well fixed as TO
tariff schedules and inflexible as
n discounts. The eoncesSionaire is the
man who has brought up every privilege
of the fair except general admission. The
scope covers the extremes from shOeblack
to perambulators. They have exclusive
rights and are engaged in perpetual war
fare against any who may infringe upon
their privileges. The attractions Of Coney
Island or the seductive side shows of the
circus are as nothing to the opportunities
that are presented for the spending of
money at the fair. No matter where you
turn or what you do, it is 25 cents or 10
cents, until the visitor will wish him

There is a rank Crosby street air about
the gOndoliers, garlic and otherwise.
They have the acquired swing of the New
York street sweeper and the naughty
mien of a Borgia. They have looked very
miserable of late in their striped pants"
and thin pockets, and, have had about as
much animation as 'Staff' statue. The
electric launches have done most of the
business, as they are more suited to the
man wanting to get about in hurry. [
fancy, however, that when the hot July
and August days blister and warp the
buildings and the relentless sun makes
these great white buildings fairly glisten
that the Crosby street gondoGers will
reap a harvest, especially at night, in the
basin and the lagoonS. That will make
the scene Venetian in a variety, and the
lights on the water will give a carnival
air to all. Up to date the gondola con-
cession has not panned out, and the gon-
dolers threaten to go back to the garb-
age dumps or the rOck-blasting business
in the annexed district.
DON'T TAKE BABIES TO THE FAIR.
l cannot stop until l have said a word
for my personal and intimate friends, the
babies, says writer in Harper's Bazaar.
Ii there is any way of leaving them at
home safely and comfortably, don't bring
them to Chicago Think of the long, hot,
Cramped-up car rides Think of theutter
impossibility of properly prepared food if
the child is weaned. Not long ago, on an
eastern-bOund train, there CHANGED to be
as passengers on one of the sleeping cars
q young father, young mother, and
baby so very much younger than both
that it made one think of a poor
LITTLE newly Matched canary. The
mother and father We're very
proud and fond of the baby, and
kept dancing it and talking to it and feed
ing it all the time, and it bore the con-
slant and unremiJting attention bravely
ana silently for hours; but as the day
grew late IL gave out all at once and began
10 Yell-it did not cry at all-and kept on
yelling until the men and women making
up the cars company were in open revolt
and the tired parents dropped under the
whitening remarks and scornful chances
cast in their direction as they in turn
ChUrned the baby until their arms gave
out. 1t CHANGED that among the passen-
gers there wasa woman who was proficient
IN the "AGoo' tongue, and her heart was
touched as she translated the following:
oh, OH! oh! How my stomach achesl
And my poor head is shaken off my
shoulders. l want to go to sleep, and I
can't Oh Oh oh - And this woman
went over and took the baby out Of its
tired mothers arms, and she gave it some
oolocynth pellets, and ii liked them. And
she cuddled the baby close and warm, as
only a mother can cuddle such "a tiny
restless thing, and she soothed it with the
whispered sweet nOthings that babies
love, until the little head began to nod,
and the f1'inged curtains closed over the
tired blue eyes, and the tired mite was
fast asleep on her shoulder. Didn't that
woman receive an ovation!
MUST NOT GIVE AWAY FRUIT
AN order has been issued at the worlds
fair that has made the exhibitors of fruits,
especially those from California, Florida
ana Oregon, very mad, indeed. 1t is TO
the effect that they must not give away
their fruit. The fair people say that con
ceSsions have been granted for the sale of
1rmt on fairgrounds, and that the exhibit
ors will not be allowed to diminish the
receipts of the concessionaires by free
distributions of apples, oranges, etc
The fruit raisers have come to the fair
prepared to prove the excellence of
tneir states fruits by generous eating
OF the pudding. Carloads of oranges were
10 be shipped at frequent intervals, and
apples gathered expressly for the purpose
We're kept with care for this occasion.
Ihey say they will ignore the new decree
and wonder what means will be taken to
suppress their generosity tits such vex-
at!ous and money-grabbing schemes as
inns that is rapidly bringing the fair into
olsrePute and will wind it up long before
the allotted time if they are persisted in.
