The Chicago Fairs End MANAGER

Either the blood sucking parasites at
the fair must be dispensed with, the dead
head leak stopped and expenses cut down,
or there must be default on the bonds
which the corporation owes The direct
ors have outstanding five millions of
bonds and floating debt, and they have
not yet dollar to apply on the bond
payment. They have not yet paid the
floating debt by perhaps million, and
from present appearances will not until
late in August.
The fair is costing 5000, 900 month for
operating expenses. The army of dead
heads who enter its gates is steadily in
creasing. Friday more than one-third of
those in attendance went in on passes.
The deadheads ought to be cut down at
least one-half. At least half of the police
force at the fair ought to be mustered
out and taken off the payrolls. The ex-
penses Of operating the fair ought not TO
be over $500, 900 per month at the very
outside. The directors must face the
music.-Chicago Tribune.
